Task

Define a set of constraints for the generation of random targets.

Description

The method SetTargetsInPlane allows you to define a set of constraints for the generation of random targets contained in a selected working plane.

To define a specific value for a constraint, set the minimum and the maximum to the same value.

The following is an example of target generation in a selected plane:

1 Collision circle to determine overlaps

Interface

Input	Data type	Description
i_udiNumberOfTargets	UDINT	Number of targets to be generated by the method.
i_lrTargetOverlapRadius	LREAL	Radius of a circle around each target. The targets are generated so that the circles do not overlap. This value must be strictly positive.
i_udiMaxOverlapCheckIterations	UDINT	The method attempts i_udiMaxOverlapCheckIterations times to generate i_udiNumberOfTargets targets without overlaps. After this number of iterations is exceeded, an error message is generated.
i_etPlane	ET_WorkingPlane	Used to select a working plane (for example, XY, XZ, YZ). The value of this input cannot be ROB.ET_WorkingPlane.None. While a specific working plane is selected, any generated pose describes a position contained in the plane (the position along the third 3D axis is set to 0) and a rotation about a vector normal to the plane.
i_stMinPosition	PDL.ST_Vector3D	Minimum position value that a generated target can take. It can be considered as the minimum Cartesian coordinate contained in a volume defined by you.
i_stMaxPosition	PDL.ST_Vector3D	Maximum position value that a generated target can take. It can be considered as the maximum Cartesian coordinate contained in a volume defined by you.
i_lrMinRotation	LREAL	Minimum rotation angle about an axis normal to the selected plane that is used to generate the pose of a target.
i_lrMaxRotation	LREAL	Maximum rotation angle about an axis normal to the selected plane that is used to generate the pose of a target.
i_etOrientationConvention	ROB.ET_OrientationConvention	Convention for the rotation angles of the orientation.
i_alrTargetTypeProbabilityList	ARRAY [1...Gc_uiMaxNumberOfTargetTypes] OF LREAL	Every index of this array is linked to a specific target type and every element contains a value that affects the probability that a target with a certain target type is randomly generated. The probability of each target type is evaluated as the ratio between the value assigned to each element of the array and the total sum of the listed values. Example: A value in the field [1] of the array is linked to the generation of targets of type 1, field [2] is linked to type 2, and so on.

Output	Data type	Description
q_etDiag	GD.ET_Diag	General library-independent statement on the diagnostic. A value unequal to GD.ET_Diag.Ok corresponds to a diagnostic message.
q_etDiagExt	ET_DiagExt	POU-specific output on the diagnostic. q_etDiag = ET_Diag.Ok -> Status message q_etDiag <> ET_Diag.Ok -> Diagnostic message
q_sMsg	STRING[80]	Event-triggered message that gives more detailed information on the diagnostic state.
