"Curve recording" control instruction

This instruction is used to record the force values and position of the axis during positioning.

For each positioning of a part-program, it is possible to make this recording. Since all the records made in the same part-program are recorded in the same table, each record must be given a different "ID" (Identifier) in order to be able to differentiate them.

Since this "ID" is also recorded in the records, the minimum value that an "ID" can have is equal to 1e+6 (1 million).

It is possible to record the force and the position throughout the positioning, or only on a part of it (Recording mode = in a segment)

For each curve recording you must choose the maximum time that the positioning can last, if you increase the time it increases the sampling time, the minimum being 2[ms]. Be careful, if you use several curve recording instructions in a program, the number of values recorded may exceed the maximum number.

Below is a list of the instruction's input and output parameters:

To retrieve the curves from MecaMotion, simply go to the project tree structure and open the "control" window (see figure 2).

In it, you must choose a production order and an operation in which the curves will be stored. Then run a program containing curve records and when it is finished the curves will be displayed in the force/position graph.
