SPEED real-valued function SPEED real-valued function Syntax SPEED (select) Function Return one of the system motion speed factors. Usage Considerations The SPEED function returns information for the robot selected by the task executing the function. If the eV+ system is not configured to control a robot, use of the SPEED function does not generate an error because of the absence of a robot. However, the information returned by the function may not be meaningful. Parameter select Real-valued expression whose value determines which speed factor should be returned (see below). Details This function returns the system motion speed factor corresponding to the select parameter value.
The acceptable parameter values, and the corresponding speed values returned, are: eV+Language Reference Guide, v2.x, 18319-000 Rev A Page 494 Select Speed value returned 1 Monitor speed (set by SPEED monitor command) 2 Permanent program speed (set by a SPEED ... ALWAYS program instruction) 3 Temporary program speed for the last or current motion 4 Temporary program speed to be used for the next motion 5 Permanent program rotation speed 6 Temporary program rotation speed for the last or current straight-line motion
