UserLimitCountSet()

void UserLimitCountSet

(

int32_t

userLimitCount

)

Description:

UserLimitCountSet will configure the number of UserLimits processed by the controller firmware.

Parameters

userLimitCount

The User Limit count.

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
 
      HelperFunctions.CheckErrors(input0);
      HelperFunctions.CheckErrors(output0);

      output0.Set(false);                           // Disable User Limit.

Note

The maximum number of UserLimits available can be checked with UserLimitCountMax(). UserLimitCountSet should be done after either setting AxisCountSet and/or starting the network (both of those can modify the AxisCount). Internally, RapidCode Axis objects will use UserLimits so it is important to only call UserLimitCountSet after all Axis object counts have been set, but before creating any Axis objects.
