Description

What Is a Driver? KEPServerEX is more than an OPC server—it's a connectivity platform for industrial automation and IoT. Simply download KEPServerEX, and then select from Kepware's library of more than 150 device drivers, client drivers, and advanced plug-ins to fit the communication requirements unique to your industrial control system.

Differences between functions of cnc_relative2 and functions of cnc_relative are described.

The interface of function is similar to cnc_relative function.

The cnc_relative function reads an relative actual position where the amount of all the tool offset was added to the command value. Therefore, the coodinates values called by cnc_relative and relative position displayed on the position display on CNC screen might be different by the setting of CNC parameter.

The cnc_relative2 function reads the same value as the relative position diaplayed on the position display on CNC screen.

(Note)	Only when CNC control software supports the cnc_relative2 function at the special series and version, cnc_relative2 reads the same value as the relative position diaplayed on the position display on CNC screen. If CNC control software does not support this function, cnc_relative2 reads the same value returned by cnc_relative.

• Series 15/15i, 30i, 0i-D/F, PMi-A

Both cnc_relative and cnc_relative2 read the same value as the relative position displayed on the position display of CNC screen.

n = Current controlled axes

Pointer to the ODBAXIS structure including the relative position data of the controlled axes. The ODBAXIS structure is as follows.

Return

EW_OK is returned on successful completion, otherwise any value except EW_OK is returned.

The major error codes are as follows.

Return code	Meaning/Error handling
EW_LENGTH (2)	data block length error Size of ODBAXIS structure(length) is illegal.
EW_ATTRIB (4)	data attribute error The specification of axis number (axis) is improper.

As for the other return codes or the details, see 'Return status of Data window function'

CNC option

For HSSB connection,

The extended driver/library function is necessary.

For Ethernet connection,

The Ethernet function and the extended driver/library function are necessary.

However, in case of Series 16i/18i/21i-B, 0i-B/C/D/F, Series 30i and PMi-A, the required CNC option is as follows.

When Embedded Ethernet is used,

above two optional functions are not required.

When Ethernet board is used,

only Ethernet function is required.

Description

Reads the P code macro variable (variable for the macro-executor) specified by 'number'. The data is stored in 'ODBPM' with signed binary format.

It is possible to exchange the type of P code macro variable by cnc_setpmactype function. In case of the integer type variable, this indication is invalid and always regarded as the decimal form floating-point type.

• decimal form floating-point type (data format=M*10**(-E))

mcr_val	:	value of variable (=M) 4-byte binary data with sign (available range:999999999,..,-999999999, integer type:-32768,..,32767)
dec_val	:	number of places of decimals (=E) 2-byte binary data with sign (available range:-128,..,127, integer type : 0)

mcr_val always returns by nine digits and adjusts the amount with the value of dec_val.




Example: When the variable value is 12.345, mcr_val and dec_val are read as follows.
mcr_val = 123450000
dec_val = 7

• binary form floating-point type (data format=M*2**(-E))

mcr_val	:	numerical part of variable (=M) 4-byte binary data with sign (available range:No limitation)
dec_val	:	exponent part of variable (=E) 2-byte binary data with sign (available range:-128,..,127)

The value of an undefined variable is called 'vacant', and it is expressed as follows both at decimal form floating-point type and at binary form floating-point type.

mcr_val = 0
dec_val = -1

See the 'PROGRAMING MANUAL' of the macro-executor for details of the P code macro variable.
