Default Behavior

In the default motion error handling case, a user can detect errors using any of the following group function blocks:

MC_GrpReadStatus — Output GroupErrorStop is true if a group error has occurred.
MC_GrpReadError — Error output will be true and Error ID output will be set to 12 if the error is due to E-stop.
The originating Coordinated Motion command (MC_MoveLinAbs, MC_MoveCircAbs, etc.) will return Error ID 12

To determine which PLCopenA vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML axis has generated the error, call MC_ReadAxisErr for each axis in a group. The output ErrorID will be set to 12. In addition, MC_ReadStatus for each axis in the group can be called where the output ErrorStop will be true if in a E-stop condition

Once an error has been detected, the error must first be resolved. MC_GrpReset can be called to reset all PLCopen axis errors. This also resets the group status from GroupErrorStop to GroupStandby. The Done output of MC_GrpReset will be TRUE if all axis errors have been reset. This function block may take up to 3 seconds to reset some error conditions.
