Function Description
To read robot-related information, such as robot motion status, from a robot controller and save it to a robot variable (Structured type data: eRC_AxisGroup).
In actual operation, robot controller information is stored in the "Status" variable which is in the robot variable (structured type data: eRC_AxisGroup).
For InAddress, specify an input tag that has been generated in the field network communication setting.
The method of field network communication configuration differs depending on PLCs. Please refer to the user's manual of your PLC.
