EXTRACT Command
| Format: | EXTRACT (no parameters) |
| Description: | Extract the robot from an X or Y limit switch. The robot checks if the robot is in a limit switch and if necessary overrides the limit switch to restore power to the motors and drive the robot out of the limit switch before removing the power. The robot must then be powered up and initialised in the normal manner. This command is most likely to be used if the WAKE command fails due to the motor power failing to turn on when the robot is left in a limit switch. |
| Example: | Engineering command > extract |
For further information refer to the `AF2 Control System Software Manual'.
