set_auto_servo_off

This function enables or disables the automatic servo-off transition feature in the robot controller. When enabled, the controller will automatically turn off the servo power if the robot remains idle for a specified duration.

This feature is useful for improving safety and energy efficiency, especially when the robot is not in continuous operation.

Definition
DRFLEx.h within class CDRFLEx, public section (line 914)

bool set_auto_servo_off(bool bFuncEnable, float fElapseTime) {
    return _set_auto_servo_off(_rbtCtrl, bFuncEnable, fElapseTime);
};

Parameter

Parameter Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
bFuncEnable	bool		Enables or disables the auto servo-off feature false (0): Disable auto servo-off true (1): Enable auto servo-off
fElapseTime	float		Duration (in minutes) of inactivity before servo power is turned off.

Return

Value	Description
0	Error — failed to configure the auto servo-off setting
1	Success — setting successfully applied

Example

#include "DRFLEx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace DRAFramework;

int main() {
    CDRFLEx Drfl;

    // Enable the auto servo-off function after 3 minutes of inactivity
    if (Drfl.set_auto_servo_off(true, 3.0f))
        std::cout << "Auto servo-off enabled (timeout: 3 minutes)\n";
    else
        std::cerr << "Failed to set auto servo-off behavior.\n";

    // Later, disable the function to keep servo always active
    Drfl.set_auto_servo_off(false, 0.0f);

    return 0;
}

This example enables the auto servo-off function, causing the robot’s servo power to shut down automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity. The feature can later be disabled by calling the function again with bFuncEnable = false.
