Cnv_QueGet Function

Returns a point from the specified conveyor's queue.

Syntax
Cnv_QueGet (conveyorNumber [, index ] )

Parameters

conveyorNumber

Specify the conveyor number as an integer (1-16).

Index

Optional. Integer expression that represents the index of the queue data to acquire.

Return Values
A robot point in the specified conveyor's coordinate system.

Description
Use Cnv_QueGet to retrieve points from the conveyor queue. When queNumber is omitted, the first point in the queue is returned. If the index is specified, the point data of the specified index is returned.

Cnv_QueGet does not delete the point from the queue. Instead, you must use Cnv_QueRemove to delete it.

To track a part as the conveyor moves, you must use Cnv_QueGet in a motion command statement.

For example:

  Jump Cnv_QueGet(1) ' this tracks the part

You cannot assign the result from Cnv_QueGet to a point and then track it by moving to the point.

  P1 = Cnv_QueGet(1)
  Jump P1  ' this does not track the part

When you assign the result from Cnv_QueGet to a point, the coordinate values correspond to the position of the part when the point assignment was executed.

Note

---

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