Axis: Status

Learn how to read axis status.

Warning

This is a sample program to assist in the integration of the RMP motion controller with your application. It may not contain all of the logic and safety features that your application requires. We recommend that you wire an external hardware emergency stop (e-stop) button for safety when using our code sample apps. Doing so will help ensure the safety of you and those around you and will prevent potential injury or damage.

---

The sample apps assume that the system (network, axes, I/O) are configured prior to running the code featured in the sample app. See the Configuration page for more information.

📜 Axis Status
Learn how to use:
  1. Axis.StateGet
  2. Axis.SourceGet
  3. Axis.SourceNameGet
  4. Axis.StatusBitGet

 
 
      // CHECK AXIS STATE
      RSIState state = axis.StateGet(); // StateGet will return RSIState enum name of the current state of the Axis or MultiAxis. (Ex: RSIStateERROR)
      Console.WriteLine("Your Axis is in state: " + state);
 
      switch (state)
      {
        case RSIState.RSIStateIDLE:
        case RSIState.RSIStateMOVING:
          break;
        case RSIState.RSIStateERROR:
        case RSIState.RSIStateSTOPPING_ERROR:
        case RSIState.RSIStateSTOPPED:
        case RSIState.RSIStateSTOPPING:
          RSISource source = axis.SourceGet(); // SourceGet will return the RSISource enum name of the first status bit that is active. (Ex: RSISourceAMP_FAULT)
          Console.WriteLine("Your Axis is in state: " + state);
          Console.WriteLine("The source of the axis error is: " + axis.SourceNameGet(source)); // SourceNameGet will return the first status bit which is set on an Axis or MultiAxis.
          break;
        default:
          Console.WriteLine("");
          break;
      }
 
      // or USE STATUS BIT GET
 
      bool isAmpFault_Active          = axis.StatusBitGet(RSIEventType.RSIEventTypeAMP_FAULT);            // StatusBitGet returns the state of a status bit, true or false.
      bool isPositionErrorLimitActive = axis.StatusBitGet(RSIEventType.RSIEventTypeLIMIT_ERROR);
      bool isHWNegativeLimitActive    = axis.StatusBitGet(RSIEventType.RSIEventTypeLIMIT_HW_NEG);
      bool isHWPostiveLimitActive     = axis.StatusBitGet(RSIEventType.RSIEventTypeLIMIT_HW_POS);    // This can be done for all RSIEventTypes
