get_program_state

This is a function for checking information on the execution state of the program that is currently being executed in automatic mode in the robot controller.

Definition
DRFLEx.h within class CDRFLEx, public section (line 738)

DRL_PROGRAM_STATE get_program_state() {
    return _get_program_state(_rbtCtrl);
};

Parameter
None

Return

Value	Description
DRL_PROGRAM_STATE	Refer to the Definition of Enumeration Type

Example

if (drfl.get_program_state() == DRL_PROGRAM_STATE_PLAY) {
    // Stops the program execution state
    drfl.drl_stop(STOP_TYPE_SLOW);
}
else if (drfl.get_program_state() == DRL_PROGRAM_STATE_HOLD) {
    // Resumes the program execution state
    drfl.drl_resume();
}

This example checks the current DRL program execution state. If the program is in PLAY state, it stops execution using drl_stop(). If it is in HOLD state, it resumes execution with drl_resume(). This allows precise monitoring and control of program flow in automatic mode.
