Parameters
- conveyorNumber

- 0: Quantity-priority mode
- 1: Accuracy-priority mode
- 2: Variable speed conveyor mode
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 quantity priority mode will be used.
- Quantity-priority mode: This mode is less accurate than the accuracy-priority Mode, but requires less time for tracking, making it suitable for conveyor systems with narrow workpiece spacing or high conveyor speeds.
- Accuracy-priority mode: This mode is suitable for conveyor systems with smaller workpieces, because it provides better accuracy than the quantity-priority mode while requiring longer time for tracking.
- 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.
Also, you cannot use this command to change the mode of conveyor tracking during motion.
