Description

The feedback interface provides status values for the configured parameters for a carrier.

Properties

Property	Data type	Accessing	Description
lrFrontOffset	LREAL	Read	Indicates the distance from the center point of the carrier to the front edge of the complete unit consisting of carrier, tool and product. The calculated distance depends on the ToolDimensions and the ToolOffset as well as the ProductDimensions and the ProductOffset. For illustration, refer to the Front offset example.
lrRearOffset	LREAL	Read	Indicates the distance from the center point of the carrier to the rear edge of the complete unit consisting of carrier, tool and product. The calculated distance depends on the ToolDimensions and the ToolOffset as well as the ProductDimensions and the ProductOffset. For illustration, refer to the Rear offset example.
rstCarrierDimensions	REFERENCE TO ST_Dimensions	Read	Indicates the dimensions of the carrier.
rstProductDimensions	REFERENCE TO ST_Dimensions	Read	Indicates the dimensions of the configured product.
rstProductOffset	REFERENCE TO PDL.ST_Vector3D	Read	Indicates the specified center point of the product in relation to the center point of the carrier. For more information, refer to the method SetProductOffset.
rstToolDimensions	REFERENCE TO ST_Dimensions	Read	Indicates the dimensions of the configured tool.
rstToolOffset	REFERENCE TO PDL.ST_Vector3D	Read	Indicates the specified center point of the tool in relation to the center point of the carrier. For more information, refer to the method SetToolOffset.
rstToolPivotPointOffset	REFERENCE TO PDL.ST_Vector3D	Read	Indicates the specified ToolPivotPoint in relation to the center point of the carrier. For more information, refer to the method SetToolPivotPointOffset.
xApplicationLoggerEntriesActive	BOOL	Read	Indicates TRUE if the carrier writes messages to the Application Logger.
xProductPresent	BOOL	Read	Indicates TRUE if a product is present on the carrier.
xToolPresent	BOOL	Read	Indicates TRUE if a tool is present on the carrier.

Front offset example

FrontOffset (Top view)

Conditions:

Moving direction of the carrier: from left to right (clockwise)
Center point of the carrier: red crossing lines
Tool: blue box
Product: green box

Result:

FrontOffset: Distance from the center point of the carrier to the front edge of the complete unit consisting of carrier, tool and product

Rear offset example

RearOffset (Top view)

Conditions:

Moving direction of the carrier: from left to right (clockwise)
Center point of the carrier: red crossing lines
Tool: blue box
Product: green box

Result:

RearOffset: Distance from the center point of the carrier to the rear edge of the complete unit consisting of carrier, tool and product
