amovel (Auto Mode)

As an asynchronous movel, it operates the same as the movel function except for not having the fBlendingRadius argument for blending. However, the command returns immediately when motion starts and executes the next line without waiting for the termination of motion due to the asynchronous type.

Parameter

Parameter Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
fTargetPos	float[6]		Target TCP Position for six axes
fTargetVel	float[2]		Linear Velocity, Angular Velocity
fTargetAcc	float[2]		Linear Acceleration, Angular Acceleration
fTargetTime	float		Reach Time [sec] * If the time is specified, values are processed based on time, ignoring vel and acc.
eMoveMode	MOVE_MODE	MOVE_MODE_ABSOLUTE	Refer to the Definition of Enumeration Type
eMoveReference	MOVE_REFERENCE	MOVE_REFERENCE_BASE	Refer to the Definition of Enumeration Type
eBlendingType	BLENDING_SPEED_TYPE	BLENDING_SPEED_TYPE_DUPLICATE	Refer to the Definition of Enumeration Type

Return

Value	Description
0	Error
1	Success

Example

// D-out 2 seconds after the motion starts with x1
float x1[6]  = { 559, 434.5, 651.5, 0, 180, 0 };
float tvel[2] = { 50, 50 };
float tacc[2] = { 100, 100 };
drfl.amovel(x1, tvel, tacc);
Sleep(2000);
drfl.set_digital_output(GPIO_CTRLBOX_DIGITAL_INDEX_1, 1);

This example starts an asynchronous linear TCP motion to pose x1, then toggles a digital output 2 seconds after motion start. Because it’s asynchronous, program flow continues immediately after amovel() is issued.
