Oh, that :) It chooses the shortest path from "actual" to "desired" positions. There are parameters for min and max values, and whether it should wrap around (ie, increment past max = min and vice versa). It is used to move the toolchanger to the target pocket using the fewest moves. The parameters are: min-num: the minimum position value. max-num: the maximum position value. wrap: whether or not to wrap the count or clip to min/max. Input pins are: actual: the current position desired: the desired position Output pins are: up: true when actual needs to go up to reach desired down: true when actual needs to go down to reach desired on-target: true when actual==desired Hope this helps - Steve (maybe I should copy this email into a manpage ;) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
