bool set_digital_welding_signal_output(unsigned char cDataType, float fData)
{
    return _set_digital_welding_signal_output(_rbtCtrl, cDataType, fData);
};

Features

This function sends a digital welding control signal to the welder through the robot controller. It allows the user to set or modify specific output data types such as voltage, current, feed rate, or correction factors depending on the digital welding interface configuration.

The function is typically used to command real-time welding output parameters while performing automatic or adaptive welding control tasks.

Arguments

Parameter	Data Type	Default Value	Description
cDataType	unsigned char		Specifies the type of welding signal to output. (e.g., voltage, current, speed, or user-defined digital output.)
fData	float	None	The numeric value of the welding parameter to be sent to the welder.

Return

Value	Description
0	Error occurred while sending signal.
1	Successfully transmitted the digital welding output signal.

Example

// Example: Set a digital welding signal output for voltage control
unsigned char dataType = 1;   // Example type code for voltage
float voltageValue = 25.5f;   // Desired voltage setting

bool result = Drfl.set_digital_welding_signal_output(dataType, voltageValue);
if (result)
    std::cout << "Digital welding signal sent successfully." << std::endl;
else
    std::cout << "Failed to send digital welding signal." << std::endl;

In this example, the function transmits a command to set the welding signal output. The parameter dataType defines the signal type (e.g., voltage or current), and fData defines the actual numeric value sent to the welding interface. A return value of true (1) indicates successful signal transmission.
