BELT system switch BELT system switch Syntax ...BELT Function Control the function of the conveyor tracking features of the eV+ system. Usage Considerations This option is available only if your system is equipped with the eV+ Extensions option. If the eV+ system is not configured to control a robot, an attempt to enable the BELT system switch will cause an error. (The DEVICE real-valued function and the SETDEVICE program instruction must be used to access external encoders from a nonrobot system.
For more information, see the section External Encoder Device in the eV+ Language User's Guide .) Details This switch must be enabled before any of the special conveyor tracking instructions can be executed. When BELT is disabled, the conveyor tracking software has a minimal impact on the overall performance of the system. When the BELT switch is enabled, error checking is initiated for the encoders associated with any belt variables that are defined. The switch is disabled when the eV+ system is initialized.
