DCS and Space Function

    I usually do create Space functions for my programs and it works fine. I got a project now where it is already programmed and I need to do extension. I took the backup and saw in Robguide that he is using DCS. I hope they are similar to Space functions, I saw some previous posts on DCS and didn’t got clear Idea.
    Floor Space Reduction, security etc.

    How do I use DCS?

    There are a lot of functions in DCS, it seems that what you need is Cartesian Position Check. Basically you can define 3D areas whre the robot is able to move. By having more than one area you can work with zones using an input to disable each area allowing the robot to move outside of it.

    DCS is not similar to the Space Function. Its Cartesian Position Check is similar to the Inteference Check.
    The Space Function is watching only the TCP for being in certain rectangular area.
    The DCS Cartesian Position Check and the Inteference Check watch 3D models of the tool and robot (the entire tool and robot not only the TCP) for interference with the machine/cage fixtures.
