purge <command> <duration>

Parameters

  • command - Either plate or full

  • duration - Amount of time to vibrate plate and hopper for in ms. It must be between 0 and 30000 ms. If the duration is set to 0 or omitted, the advanced purge is triggered.

Returns

Description

Perform a purge sequence, of either the plate only (purge plate) or both the plate and the hopper (purge full). That sequence consists in opening the purge flap, running a platform vibration in the corresponding direction (as well as triggering the hopper in case of a full purge) for the specified duration and finally closing the purge flap.

If the advanced purge is triggered, the duration of the purge will depend on the number of parts on the platform and the intensity of the defined purge vibration. The purge will stop only once all the parts have been evacuated. If the platform is not purged after 30 seconds, a specific error will be triggered.

The system must be in purge mode to use this command, see start purge.

Usage example

purge full 15000
