Program pointer line number export

RoboRuben · Nov 16th 2022

Hi,

I would like to be able to export the program pointer line number to the PLC. I would do this contantly by using the multitasking.

Does anyone know how I can read the actual line number of the program pointer?

Thanks!

That is very likely impossible. You could use TriggL/J IO to send out numbers or use something like path segments, though.

Have seen this question frequently, and every time I see it, I'm wondering why someone wants the line number on the plc. For me that doesn't make sense at all.

I had pretty much the same thought. It seems like a controls programmer who wants absolute control maybe.

When a customer has an error they can somethimes not work that good with the robot. If we can see the line number of the robot without explaining everything we can come quicker to a solution.

In that case the line number is not enough, you also need the module name, except you have only one module, but then I doubt on the programming skills.

I have only one motion module where there are different procedures. So if I know the line number a programmer can look up the code and see what's going on. I'm only using a different module for constant data outfeed purposes. Wouldn't know why I would need multiple modules in my installation.

So do you know how I can send the line number?

No, I don't. Never thought about, and don't want to, Doesn't make sense at all or me.

Check this thread in the RobotStudio forum. Maybe it is helpful for you.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see that you want to monitor it constantly.
