MC-Basic:IDNSTATE

From SoftMC-Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This function returns the state of a specified procedure command from a specified drive. It is used when executing a procedure command to determine progress of that procedure’s execution. Common procedures are 99 (clear faults) and 148 (drive-controlled homing). The value returned indicates the state of the procedure, as:
       0: Finished or Not started
       3: Done
       5: Interrupted
       7: Running
       15: Error

After starting a procedure, wait until the state has changed. This can be checked via drive status bit 5 or <axis>.PROCEDURECHANGEBIT. Check the state of the procedure to know whether it is done or whether an error has occurred. A procedure is interrupted only if it is cancelled during execution.
