Hello,
I have an application where I want to move the robot using two push buttons. I set up a loop with two lines,
*A
movl until in#1 off (X+)
movl until in#2 off( X-)
jump A
This works great. The question is:
once I stop moving, I want to use a GETS to put the current position into a P variable, extract the X element with a GETX (1), add that to a variable to set up a shift value. Basically, move the robot to position, get the variance, and set that to a shift without having to enter any numbers. I do this quite easily with a DX200, but I cannot find any literature for a MRC. Any help would be appreciated.
As an aside, I just finished a project with a DX200. I use a shift, on a shift on a AccufastII generated shift. It works great, but in order to accurately change the taught weld positions I would have to load a reference length part and reteach without any shifts active. We had Yaskawa in, and they were able to turn on a variable (in Yaskawa mode) that would allow you to "lock" the shifts on. Incredibly handy. Do not know how he did it, or what variable, but it is there. If I knew earlier, it would have saved about 100 hours. I hope this helps anyone in the future using compound shifts.
