Greetings,

I am trying to read the KStep Bits, I do see them in the KMotion Digital I/O Screen:

//GV.in0 = MainStatus.GetKFlopBitState(0); //Changed to Read KStep Board Inputs.
GV.in0 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(168);
//GV.in1 = MainStatus.GetKFlopBitState(1);
GV.in1 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(169);
//GV.in2 = 0; //MainStatus.GetKFlopBitState(2);
GV.in2 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(170);
//GV.in3 = 0; //MainStatus.GetKFlopBitState(3);
GV.in3 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(171);

Is the KStep bits considered KFlop bits??

Thanks,

- Jeff

Hi Jeff,

The 16 KStep Inputs are multiplexed into KFLOP using 4 KFLOP Inputs. To enable the multiplexing the flag:

KStepPresent=TRUE; // enable KSTEP input multiplexing

needs to be set. See the description here under Digital Status:
Using KStep

Are you doing this?

YES... I do see them... and use in homing... how do I access
there status in my C# .net program...?

Hi Jeff,

Ahh, the 16 KStep Inputs are Virtual Bits packed into the high 16 bits of the MainStatus VirtualBits word. They would be accessed from .NET with MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(16) ... MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(31).

Ok,

GV.in1 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(16); //This is KStep Board bit 168
GV.in2 = MainStatus.GetVirtualBits(17); //This is KStep Board bit 169

and so forth...

GV.in1 is my C# integer where I track my inputs.

No where could I find documentation, that told me how to access the KStep board bits...

Thus this thread.
