Read Drive Signal Status

Usage

status = flex_read_drive_signal_status_rtn(u8 boardID, u8 axis, u16* driveStatus);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
boardID	u8	assigned by Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
axis	u8	axis to configure
driveStatus	u16*	contains the status of the drive signal

Parameter Discussion

axis is the axis to configure. Valid values are NIMC_AXIS1 through NIMC_AXIS30. On motion controllers that support fewer than thirty axes, configuring non-existent axes returns error –70006 (NIMC_badResourceIDOrAxisError). Refer to Axes for axis resource IDs.

driveStatus contains the status of the drive signal, where bit0 = In-Position and bit1 = Drive Fault.

Using This Function

Use this function to read the status of the drive signal when an active drive signal is detected. If In-Position is active, bit 0 = 1. If Drive Fault is active, bit1 = 1.

Tip  Use Read Motion I/O Data instead of this function for more options.
