Methods

OpenBrakeAsync

METHOD OpenBrakeAsync (
 [input] startToken : ZCore.IStartToken,
 [input] on : BOOL)

Opens and closes the brake that the drive controls. Use on:=TRUE to open the brake and on:=FALSE to close the brake.

Executing this method while the drive is still Busy with another Async command will cause this method to fail. This can be checked by submitting an StartToken as a startToken. Simply pass such an object and Assert it or check for startToken.Error after calling this method.

Inputs

startToken IStartToken

pass an StartToken instance here to check if the call was successfully executed

on BOOL

opens the brake by providing on:=TRUE and closes the brake by providing on:=FALSE
