B ROTATION ALARM

[SLuong]

Hello support,
   I am using a HORIZONTAL of which contains the "B" rotation and I would like to make an alarm such as:

IF LAST ROTATION <> CURRENT ROTATION & PREVIOUS T$ = CURRENT T$  & RETRACT FLAG  = 0 then show alarm....

 

I've got nothing alarm, I think the problem is the "prv_cabs <> cabs ".

 

Please help,
   S.Luong

 

===================

if srot_label = "B" & rotretflg = 0 & prv_cabs <> cabs & (prv_t$ = t$ | last_tool$ <> t$ | t$ = next_tool$), [if mprint(sHorizontalBRotationHomeDemands), exitpost$], e$

Steven,

I'm not sure what problem you are trying to solve here.

The Post doesn't know where your Z-Axis Home Position is, and the Post does not track "if the Z-Axis has been retracted".

The flag variable 'rotretflg' gets set, based on logic conditions. It causes the Post to call the 'pretract' or 'pretract0' Post Block. Once those blocks get called, the Post should reset those variables inside the Retract blocks. In other words, those flags act to "call" the block. They don't indicate "has the block been previously triggered".

What is your end goal here? What problem are you trying to overcome?
