Other SRL program variables

INFORMATION

When initializing the MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER (SEW_PRG.Init), the SRL variables used by the process data interface are assigned names that also provide information about the exact process data word and the bit. To view this, open the RobotMonitor after configuring and starting the MOVI-C^® CONTROLLER and scroll to the corresponding position in the SRL variable list. This automatic naming can be deactivated in order to use customer-specific names by setting "Name used SRL variables automatically" in the configuration menu [Fieldbus interface] > [Basic settings] in the "Fieldbus configuration" area.

SRL program variables (poses, reals, Booleans) can be mapped to the fieldbus as process input data word as well as process output data word by simple configuration. See chapter More pose variables. These are appended to the end of the fieldbus interface. The signals are mapped as space-savingly as possible.

Example

First the poses are mapped, then the real variables, and then the Boolean variables. For data types smaller than WORD, several real variables are mapped into one WORD (in the following example real 2 and 3). The Boolean variables fill up the WORDs started by the real variables (in the example Booleans 1-4) and are then continued in the next WORD (in the example Booleans 1-4).

Configuration:

• 1 pose with X as DWORD, Y, Z and A as WORD
• 3 real variables as WORD, BYTE and NIBBLE
• 8 Boolean variables
