Description
Sets a tracking mode of Conveyor Tracking.

Cnv_Mode is only available for linear conveyors.

Sets the tracking mode before starting the tracking motion. If the parameters are not set, the picking quantity priority mode will be set.

Picking quantity-priority mode: Although this mode is inferior in picking accuracy to the picking Accuracy-priority mode, it takes less time to catch up with the moving workpieces. Therefore, this mode is suitable for the conveyor systems in which space between the workpieces is narrow or the fast-speed conveyor systems.
Picking accuracy-priority mode: Although this mode takes longer time to catch up with the workpieces compared to the picking quantity-priority mode, this improves the picking accuracy. Therefore, this mode is suitable for the conveyor systems for small workpieces.
Variable speed conveyor mode: This mode can be used for conveyor system which stops and moves a conveyor while contacting with a workpiece.

The mode “0” is only supported by the circular conveyors. When “1” or “2” are specified, the manipulator moves as same as the mode “0”.

Note

This command will only work if the Conveyor Tracking option is active.
