iDEA RoboCylinder Manager

IAI RoboCylinder library adapted to TCP socket

Usage

1. Register the RoboCylinder device in devices.json

  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "robocylinder",
    "type": "RoboCylinder",
    "enabled": true,
    "connection": "Tcp://192.168.100.13:30",
    "data": {
      "numberOfAxes": 4,
      "axes": [
        {
          "index": 0,
          "scale": 1,
          "limit": 800
        },
        {
          "index": 1,
          "scale": 1,
          "limit": 300
        },
        {
          "index": 2,
          "scale": 1,
          "limit": 200
        },
        {
          "index": 3,
          "scale": 1,
          "limit": 150
        }
      ]
    }
  },

2. Register RoboCylinder Service in App.xaml.cs

HardwareServiceFactory.Register<RoboCylinderService>(HardwareDeviceType.RoboCylinder);

Now the device can be used in any custom methods

Example move axis 0 250mm:

private async Task SetFixtureDefault()
{
    RoboCylinderController device = _robocylinderService.DevCollection.FirstOrDefault();

    if (device.IsConnected == false)
    {
        return;
    }

    await device.ResetAlarmsAsync();
    Log.Information("Alarm reset");
    try
    {
        await device.WaitAvailableAsync();
        await device.MoveAxisAsync(0, 250);
    }
    catch (RoboCylinderOutOfRangeException ex)
    {
        Log.Error(ex, "Robocylinder out of range");
        return;
    }
}
