Current position

Read the current robot position in world coordinates or user frame coordinates, for single or multi-group controllers.

World current position
User frame current position
Multi-group controllers
API reference

Read the current robot position in world coordinates or in a specific user frame, for any motion group.

Note: The current position is that of the current tool (UTOOL).

World current position

// Connect to the robot
robot.Connect(parameters);
// Read a current world position
Position worldPosition = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadWorldPosition();

// Access the Cartesian position
double x = worldPosition.CartesianPosition.X;

// Access the user tool at this cartesian position
short usertTool = worldPosition.UserTool;

// Access the joint positions
double j1 = worldPosition.JointsPosition.J1;

// Read a current world position of group 2
Position worldPositionG2 = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadWorldPosition(2);
}

User frame current position

ReadUserFramePosition returns the position relative to a specific user frame. Use user frame 15 to get the currently selected user frame from the pendant.

// Connect to the robot
robot.Connect(parameters);
// Read user frame 2 position
Position userFrame = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadUserFramePosition(1);

// Access the Cartesian position
double x = userFrame.CartesianPosition.X;

// Access the user tool at this cartesian position
short usertTool = userFrame.UserTool;

// Access the user frame id
short usertFrame = userFrame.UserFrame;

// Access the joint positions
double j1 = userFrame.JointsPosition.J1;

// Read a current world position of group 2
Position userFrameG2 = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadWorldPosition(2);
}

Multi-group controllers

For controllers with multiple motion groups (e.g., robot + positioner), specify the group number:

parameters.Snpx.Enable = true;
robot.Connect(parameters);
// Read world position of group 2
Position group2Pos = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadWorldPosition(2);

// Read user frame position of group 2
Position group2Frame = robot.Snpx.CurrentPosition.ReadUserFramePosition(1, 2);
}
}
