NAME

limit_axis - Dynamic range based axis limits

SYNOPSIS

loadrt limit_axis [count= N |names= name1 [, name2... ]] [personality= P1,P2,... ]

DESCRIPTION

limit_axis.c

Limit axis to certain limits at varying inputs For example on a spindle with C rotation, to avoid hitting a gantry when the height is above Z-10
- Use Z axis as feedback
- Use 2 ranges (0,-10) (-10, -40)
- When Z is above 10, C rotation is limited to range 0
- When Z is below 10, C rotation is limited to range 1

Usage:
loadrt limit_axis count=3 personality=2,3,2
or
loadrt limit_axis names=limit_x,limit_y,limit_z personality=2,3,2

The "personality" argument defines how many ranges are supported by each instance.
(Note that no spaces can be used in the names= and personality= parameters)

Caveats
- Searches ranges from 0 to 9 and will take the first range that matches
- Ranges are inclusive min_range <= feedback <= max_range
- Max can not be less than minimum for any group
- Sticky indicates, to not check other ranges if the feedback is still in the current range
- Enable allows for a range to be turned on/off, for cases such as avoiding a tool changer, but allowing sometimes

FUNCTIONS

limit-axis. N (requires a floating-point thread)

PINS

limit-axis. N .error-no-range bit out

error pin indicating that no range matches the fb

limit-axis. N .min-output float out

Minimum limit output

limit-axis. N .max-output float out

Maximum limit output

limit-axis. N .fb float in

Feedback pin, the value of this pin determines which range is active

limit-axis. N .current-range u32 out

Indicates which range is currently active

limit-axis. N .min-limit- MM float in (MM=00..personality)

The array of minimum limits to select from

limit-axis. N .max-limit- MM float in (MM=00..personality)

The array of macimum limits

limit-axis. N .min-range- MM float in (MM=00..personality)

Defines the range of values with which the fb is compared to set the range

limit-axis. N .max-range- MM float in (MM=00..personality)

Defines the range of values with which the fb is compared to set the range

limit-axis. N .enable- MM bit in (MM=00..personality)

Used to enable and disable a specific range

limit-axis. N .sticky- MM bit in (MM=00..personality)

Used to make specific range ’sticky’ or not

limit-axis. N .error-range- MM bit out (MM=00..personality) (default: 1 )

Error bit indicating that the fb pin falls outside all ranges

limit-axis. N .error-limit- MM bit out (MM=00..personality) (default: 1 )

Error bit indicating that the max limit is not larger than the min limit
