This function can be used in any CNC mode. See the manual of CNC parameter for details. This function is related to the following CNC parameter. However, in case of Series 16i/18i/21i-B, 0i-B/C/D/F, Series 30i and PMi-A, the required CNC option is as follows.Ībove two optional functions are not required. The Ethernet function and the extended driver/library function are necessary. The extended driver/library function is necessary. The specification of axis number (axis) is improper.Īs for the other return codes or the details, see ' Return status of Data window function' Size of ODBAXIS structure(length) is illegal. */ĮW_OK is returned on successful completion, otherwise any value except EW_OK is returned.

typedef struct odbaxis ODBAXIS /* MAX_AXIS is the maximum controlled axes. Pointer to the ODBAXIS structure including the absolute position data of the controlled axes. If CNC control software does not support this function, cnc_absolute2 reads the same value returned by cnc_absolute.īoth cnc_absolute and cnc_absolute2 read the same value as the absolute position displayed on the position display of CNC screen. Only when CNC control software supports the cnc_absolute2 function at the special series and version, cnc_absolute2 reads the same value as the absolute position diaplayed on the position display on CNC screen. The cnc_absolute2 function reads the same value as the absolute position diaplayed on the position display on CNC screen. Therefore, the coodinates values called by cnc_absolute and absolute position displayed on the position display on CNC screen might be different by the setting of CNC parameter. The cnc_absolute function reads an absolute actual position where the amount of all the tool offset was added to the command value. The interface of function is similar to cnc_absolute function. Differences between functions of cnc_absolute2 and functions of cnc_absolute are described.
