SMC_GroupUpdateContinueData (FB)¶

FUNCTION_BLOCK SMC_GroupUpdateContinueData

This function block updates the continue data in order to keep it in sync with the movement of any dynamic coordinate systems. It is necessary for continuing on a path in a dynamic coordinate system, e.g. on a path in a PCS that is following a rotary table. Failing to use this function block in such a scenario might lead to an error when trying to continue. Strictly speaking, the function block has to only be called from the moment continue data has been written until the moment it has been used and MC_GroupContinue reports Done. However, it is possible and actually recommended to simply call the function each cycle, regardless of whether the continue data is actually in use.
