Requesting the last valid status in #WAIT MC_Status
After one or more previous #WAIT MC_Status commands, the last valid return value of #WAIT MC_Status can be read out by the MCV_WAIT_STATUS function and used to continue program execution.
The numerical values stored in the constants apply as return values.
The following constants for status are available in the CNC code:
- MC_NEW
- MC_BUSY
- MC_ACTIVE
- MC_DONE
- MC_ERROR
- MC_ABORTED
They are used to compare a stored variable after a #MCV_WAIT_STATUS.
Release Note
Available as of V3.1.3110.
Syntax: |
#MCV_WAIT_STATUS [JobID=..] |
JobID=.. | User-specific JobID/job identification number. The number must be unique in the commanding program. |
Notice
To call this function, it requires one or more #WAIT MC_Status commands with the same JobID=... for the number stored in <JobID>.
If this is not the case, an error is output.
Programing Example
Waiting for a job signal
The program starts a “SlaveFile”.nc program in logical channel 3 with job 633, then waits for the job to be completed with the alternative states MC_DONE, MC_ABORTED or MC_ERROR.
The valid state when #WAIT MC_Status is enabled can be analysed.
%Example MC_Wait
N010 #MC_MovePath SYN[ CH=3 JobID=633 FileName=”SlaveFile.nc”]
N010 #WAIT MC_Status [JobID=633 MC_DONE MC_ABORTED MC_ERROR]
N020 V.P.McStatus = MCV_WAIT_STATUS [633]
N030 $IF V.P.McStatus != MC_DONE
N040 #ERROR [ID455 MID0 RC2 PV1=V.P.McStatus \
PV2=MC_DONE PM1=3 PM2=633]
N050 $ENDIF
