UserLimitConditionSet() [1/2]

void UserLimitConditionSet	(	int32_t	number,
		int32_t	conditionNumber,
		RSIUserLimitLogic	logic,
		uint64_t	addressOfDouble,
		double	limitValueDouble )

Description:

UserLimitConditionSet set one of the conditions for a User Limit.

Parameters

number	The index of the UserLimit. Starts from 0 and goes to (UserLimitCountGet - 1).
conditionNumber	This should be 0 or 1, User Limits only support two conditions.
logic	Use RSIUserLimitLogic
*addressOfDouble	Use any address in the controller (see sample code).
limitValueDouble	64-bit double value to be compared with the value stored at the address specified.

Remarks

This function is also available in RapidSequencer.

Part of the User Limit method group.

Sample Code:

User Limits

      // Constants
      const int INPUT_INDEX = 0;           // This is the index of the digital input you will use to trigger the user limit.
      const int OUTPUT_INDEX = 1;          // This is the index of the digital output that will go active when the user limit triggers.
 
      controller.AxisCountSet(1);          // The number of user limits must not be greater than the number of axis and must be set before the number of user limits   
      controller.UserLimitCountSet(1);     // Set the amount of UserLimits that you want to use. (every connected axis will automatically get 1 user limit)
      controller.InterruptEnableSet(true); // Enable User Limit Interrupts. (When a user limit input comparison is met, and interrupt is triggered)
 
      UInt64 userBufferAddress = controller.AddressGet(RSIControllerAddressType.RSIControllerAddressTypeUSER_BUFFER, 0); // Grabing an memory address to store a simulated IO point.
 
      //Instead of using physical IO we will use simulated IO using a memory address as simulated IO. See the IO sample apps to see how to use a physical IO instead. 
      IOPoint input0 = IOPoint.CreateDigitalInput(controller, userBufferAddress, INPUT_INDEX);    // Create a simulated IOpoint using userBuffer memory. 
      IOPoint output0 = IOPoint.CreateDigitalOutput(controller, userBufferAddress, OUTPUT_INDEX); // Create IOPoint object. Can be used to automatically get the address of a specified node and input index

Note

Be sure to user the correct overload of UserLimitConditionSet depending on if you have a 64-bit double or 32-bit integer trigger value.
