Example configuration of sensor variables

The sensor signal for 3D distance control should be specified by the PLC using an external variable (V.E.). (see [EXTV].

Example

Configuration and use of sensor variables.

Configuration of a sensor variable in the configuration list of external variables

number_used_variables        1

#

var[0].name                  SENSOR

var[0].type                  REAL64

var[0].scope                 CHANNEL

var[0].synchronisation       TRUE

var[0].access_rights         READ_ONLY

Activating the sensor input for 3D distance control in the NC program:

#DIST CTRL [SENSOR_SOURCE=VARIABLE  SENSOR_VAR=V.E.SENSOR]

When axis-specific distance control is used, the NC command is:

<axis_name> [DIST_CTRL  SENSOR_SOURCE=VARIABLE  SENSOR_VAR=V.E.SENSOR]

The V.E.SENSOR variable can be linked analogously to the example in (FCT-C22// Example of distance control).
