Reading Values via AxisLink

671

For example, suppose this motion controller needs to know the status of
another motion controller (with an address of 2) on AxisLink. Motion
controller 2 has a user variable (User Variable 10) defined that contains a
numeric value indicating its status. The following Read Remote Value
block in the GML Commander diagram for this motion controller, is then
used to read the status variable from controller 2 and store the value in the
local user variable Controller_2_Status. See AxisLink Block in the
Function Blocks chapter of this manual for more information on the Read
Remote value block.
