daves Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I need to change a motor's pEnc in the rticplc. This caused a HW watchdog so I guess is incorrect (C address rather than pmac address) (the numbers are actually variables but I have simplified here): //pshm->Motor[7].pEnc = &pshm->EncTable[7]; //pshm->Motor[7].pEnc2 = &pshm->EncTable[7]; This didn't watchdog but I haven't checked is actually functioning: char buffer[512]; sprintf(buffer, "Motor[%d].pEnc = EncTable[%d].a", 7, 7); Command(buffer); sprintf(buffer, "Motor[%d].pEnc2 = EncTable[%d].a", 7, 7); Command(buffer); I want to know 1) Is this the correct method? 2) Is it robust? 3) Does it use ASCII comms (i.e. will the action be delayed)? 4) Is there an alternative? Thanks
Omron Forums Support Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hi, I do not recommend using Command() ever in any foreground task unless absolutely necessary as it does require use of the PMAC parser. You're right that using pshm->EncTable[7] in C causes problems. I am not sure why without looking at the firmware code. However, an alternate approach would be to calculate the EncTable[n].a value with the following function: EncData* GetEncTableAddress(unsigned int EncTableIndex) { return (EncData*)(3189981184 + 56*EncTableIndex); } Then, you can use it like this: unsigned int EncTableIndex=7; pshm->Motor[1].pEnc = GetEncTableAddress(EncTableIndex); pshm->Motor[1].pEnc2 = GetEncTableAddress(EncTableIndex); You can just set EncTableIndex to whatever and it will change the addresses for you. Please let me know if that works for you (it works on my system). You could also use a big hash table with predefined EncTable addresses if you'd prefer not computing the address each time. Below is a table of the defines you could use (note that the addresses are in decimal, not hexadecimal): #define EncTable0Address 3189981184 #define EncTable1Address 3189981240 #define

Omron Forums Support Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Just an update that Steve found a better way to do this: pshm->Motor[0].pEnc = (int *) ((int)(&pshm->EncTable[2]) - (OffsetSHM << 2)); This is shorter and is firmware-version-independent. Just make sure you include gplib.h.
