Description:
It is possible to attach limits to analog input channels such that if those limits are exceeded, the motion
error
_erADC_ERROR is generated. Analog channels can be associated with one or more axes and an
axis can have multiple analog channels associated with it.
The
ADCERROR keyword returns a bit mask indicating the currently active analog errors on the specified
axis. It also indicates which analog limit, upper and/or lower, caused the analog error.
Upper and lower analog limits are set on an analog channel using the
ADCMAX and ADCMIN keywords.
Channels are associated with an axis using the
ADCMONITOR keyword.
The returned bit pattern is shown below:
Bit Meaning
0 Analog error on channel 0. Maximum limit exceeded.
1 Analog error on channel 1. Maximum limit exceeded.
2 Analog error on channel 2. Maximum limit exceeded.
3 Analog error on channel 3. Maximum limit exceeded.
4 Analog error on channel 4. Maximum limit exceeded.
5 Analog error on channel 5. Maximum limit exceeded.
6 Analog error on channel 6. Maximum limit exceeded.
7 Analog error on channel 7. Maximum limit exceeded.
8 Analog error on channel 0. Minimum limit exceeded.
9 Analog error on channel 1. Minimum limit exceeded.
10 Analog error on channel 2. Minimum limit exceeded.
11 Analog error on channel 3. Minimum limit exceeded.
12 Analog error on channel 4. Minimum limit exceeded.
13 Analog error on channel 5. Minimum limit exceeded.
14 Analog error on channel 6. Minimum limit exceeded.
15 Analog error on channel 7. Minimum limit exceeded.
Example:
PRINT ADCERROR.4
Display any analog channel errors for those channels attached to axis 4. If the result printed was 265,
this would mean the maximum limit has been exceeded on channels 0 and 3 and the minimum limit has
been exceeded on channel 0.
