servoj (Auto Mode)

This is an asynchronous motion command; the next command is executed as soon as the motion begins. In Override mode, it follows the most recent target joint position among the continuously delivered commands, within the maximum speed and acceleration. In Queue mode, it stores the commands and follows them in order. The call returns as soon as the command is sent, without waiting for the queued waypoints. If an Override command is passed during Queue mode, it ignores the previously stored waypoints and follows the most recent target joint position.

This API works in Auto (Run) mode only. It does not operate in Manual (Teach) mode.

Parameter

Parameter Name

Data Type

Default Value

Description

fTargetPos

float[6]

Target joint position for six axes [deg].

fLimitVel

float[6]

Per-axis velocity limit applied to this command.

fLimitAcc

float[6]

Per-axis acceleration limit applied to this command.

fTargetTime

float

Desired motion time [sec] for the segment (see Notes).

eTargetMod

DR_SERVOJ_TYPE

DR_SERVO_OVERRIDE

Waypoint execution mode
DR_SERVO_OVERRIDE: Follow the most recent command (override previous).
DR_SERVO_QUEUE: Queue waypoints (keep and execute in order).

Return

Value

Description

0

Failed

1

Success

Note

Returns false without a message when the robot is in STATE_EMERGENCY_STOP, STATE_SAFE_OFF, STATE_SAFE_OFF2, STATE_SAFE_STOP or STATE_SAFE_STOP2.

A return of true does not confirm that the controller applied the request. Confirm the motion with get_current_posj, get_current_posx or the monitoring data callback.

Example

// Preconditions: Connected, servo ON, **Auto mode** active

// Target joint pose and limits
float q[6]    = { 0.f, 0.f, 90.f, 0.f, 0.f, 0.f };
float jvel[6] = { 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f };
float jacc[6] = { 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f, 10.f };

// Override: keep following the most recent target
drfl.servoj(q, jvel, jacc, 0.02f, DR_SERVO_OVERRIDE);

// Queue example (buffer waypoints)
// drfl.servoj(q, jvel, jacc, 0.02f, DR_SERVO_QUEUE);

Note

  • If fTargetTime cannot be satisfied due to max velocity/acceleration limits, the controller automatically adjusts the timing and may display a notification.

  • Not linked to the operation speed adjustment of change_operation_speed (no coupling with that setting).

  • In Queue mode, commands are stored and followed in order; an Override call during Queue mode clears the buffered path and follows the latest command.
