Hi everybody!,
does anybody know how to check for interference (or to create zones to be checked) but using an external linear axis? As far as I've managed the problem is to use GETS command and check the value using other commands in the job area.
Thanks in advance!
Interference zones for external axis

Is the external axis set up as a base or a station? If base you would set the interference up as a base reference coordinate. Robot and track within a certain position. If set as a station you would set the control group up as S1, or, S2, or S3, etc. The station would be just the track. The robot arm could be anywhere.
To check you could use the DIN instruction. The DIN reads the status of something. You would want to read in a SOUT#( ). The SOUTs are specific outputs. Interference #1 is SOUT#(57), interference #2 is SOUT#(58), etc.
Example:
DIN B000 SOUT#(57)
When this line executes the controller looks to see if the hardware is in interference area 1. If so, B000 will have a 1 in the content's box. If not, B000 will have a 0 in the content's box. You can then write logic based on the value.

Thanks for your response, It's set as a Base. I found that among the options while setting the interference zone you can choose Axis Interfernce..and that's it. Thanks again..
