Y_VerifyParameters

Image

This Function Block compares the current parameters in the drive with the parameter file stored in the controller.

Parameters

* Parameter Data Type Description Default
VAR_IN_OUT
B Axis AXIS_REF Logical axis reference. This value can be located on the Configuration tab in the Hardware Configuration (logical axis number).
VAR_INPUT Default
B Execute BOOL Upon the rising edge, all other function block inputs are read and the function is initiated. To modify an input, change the value and re-trigger the execute input. FALSE
V File STRING Optional, but if specified it is relative to /opt/plcnext/projects/PCWE/Plc/DriveParam/ on the controller. If the file name is not specified, then it defaults to {AxisName}DrivePn.xml, which is written to the controller when a project is written to the controller using iCube Engineer. AXIS#DrivePn.xml
VAR_OUTPUT
B Done BOOL Set high when the commanded action has completed successfully. If another block takes control before the action is completed, the Done output will not be set. This output is reset when Execute goes low.
E Busy BOOL Set high upon the rising edge of the Execute input, and reset when Done, CommandAborted, or Error is true. In the case of a function block with an Enable input, a Busy output indicates the function is operating, but not ready to provide Valid information. (No Error)
B Error BOOL Set high if an error has occurred during the execution of the function block. This output is cleared when 'Execute' or 'Enable' goes low.
E ErrorID UINT If Error is true, this output provides the Error ID. This output is reset when 'Execute' or 'Enable' goes low.
V Matches BOOL Set to True when the current drive parameters match the parameter file.
V InvalidParameter UINT If Matches is False, this is set to the first drive parameter number that does not match.
V Expected DINT If Matches is False, Expected will contain the value in the parameter file.
V Actual DINT If Matches is False, Actual contains the actual value on the drive.

Notes

  • This function is useful to determine if a device/servo has been replaced in the field. A check between the parameters saved on the controller and the parameters currently active on the device/servo is performed.
  • Parameter files are installed at this path on the controller's filesystem:
      1. Default: /opt/plcnext/projects/PCWE/Plc/DefaultDriveParam/{axisname}DrivePn.xml
      2. User: /opt/plcnext/projects/PCWE/Plc/DriveParam/{axisname}DrivePn.xml
