Struct ConfigurationData

Represents information about the robot arm configuration, to be used when reaching a target. Given a tool and a target is is usually possible for the robot to reach it using different set of axes angles. This structure has a corresponding RAPID data type called confdata. The ConfigurationData is used to unambigously denote one of a set of possible robot arm configurations. It is done by specifying in which quadrant, four of the robot axes, should be in. It is not necessecary to specify this value for all axes. Depending on the robot model, the axes used to denote configuration, and the interpretation of the configuration can vary. Please refer to the RAPID Reference Manual.

Syntax

public struct ConfigurationData

Properties

View Source

Cf1

The quadrant of axis 1.

Declaration

public int Cf1 { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int	An integer specifying the quadrant of axis 1.

View Source

Cf4

The quadrant of axis 4.

Declaration

public int Cf4 { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int	An integer specifying the quadrant of axis 4.

View Source

Cf6

The quadrant of axis 6.

Declaration

public int Cf6 { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int	An integer specifying the quadrant of axis 6.

View Source

Cfx

The quadrant of an axis that is not axis 1,4 or 6. Its usage depends on the robot model. For many robot models this value is not used.

Declaration

public int Cfx { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int	An integer specifying the quadrant of an axis that is not axis 1,4 or 6. Its usage depends on the robot model. For many robot models this value us not used. Please refer to the RAPID documentation.

CompareCfg

Gets an System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer<T> that compares two ConfigurationData by quadrant values only.

Declaration

public static IEqualityComparer<ConfigurationData> CompareCfg { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IEqualityComparer<ConfigurationData>

Remarks

Unlike the default equality comparer for ConfigurationData, this does not take the saved joint values into account.

GetConfigurationData()

Returns the axis quadrants as an array of integers.

Declaration

public int[] GetConfigurationData()

Returns

Type	Description
int[]	An array of integer containing four elements which specifies the four axis quadrants.

ConfigurationData	cnf2

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if Cf1, Cf4, Cf6 differ by at most one and Cfx are equal.

View Source
