Detailed Description

Virtual Class to implement when integrating a 1 DoF actuator into ros2_control.

The typical examples are conveyors or motors.

Methods return values have type rclcpp_lifecycle::node_interfaces::LifecycleNodeInterface::CallbackReturn with the following meaning:

Returns
CallbackReturn::SUCCESS method execution was successful.
CallbackReturn::FAILURE method execution has failed and and can be called again.
CallbackReturn::ERROR critical error has happened that should be managed in "on_error" method.

The hardware ends after each method in a state with the following meaning:

UNCONFIGURED (on_init, on_cleanup): Hardware is initialized but communication is not started and therefore no interface is available.

INACTIVE (on_configure, on_deactivate): Communication with the hardware is started and it is configured. States can be read and non-movement hardware interfaces commanded. Hardware interfaces for movement will NOT be available. Those interfaces are: HW_IF_POSITION, HW_IF_VELOCITY, HW_IF_ACCELERATION, and HW_IF_EFFORT.

FINALIZED (on_shutdown): Hardware interface is ready for unloading/destruction. Allocated memory is cleaned up.

ACTIVE (on_activate): Power circuits of hardware are active and hardware can be moved, e.g., brakes are disabled. Command interfaces for movement are available and have to be accepted. Those interfaces are: HW_IF_POSITION, HW_IF_VELOCITY, HW_IF_ACCELERATION, and HW_IF_EFFORT.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ActuatorInterface()

hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::ActuatorInterface ( const ActuatorInterface other)
delete

SensorInterface copy constructor is actively deleted.

Hardware interfaces are having a unique ownership and thus can't be copied in order to avoid failed or simultaneous access to hardware.

Member Function Documentation

◆ export_command_interfaces()

virtual std::vector<CommandInterface> hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::export_command_interfaces ( )
pure virtual

Exports all command interfaces for this hardware interface.

The command interfaces have to be created and transferred according to the hardware info passed in for the configuration.

Note the ownership over the state interfaces is transferred to the caller.

Returns
vector of command interfaces

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_hardware::RRBotModularJoint.

◆ export_state_interfaces()

virtual std::vector<StateInterface> hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::export_state_interfaces ( )
pure virtual

Exports all state interfaces for this hardware interface.

The state interfaces have to be created and transferred according to the hardware info passed in for the configuration.

Note the ownership over the state interfaces is transferred to the caller.

Returns
vector of state interfaces

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_hardware::RRBotModularJoint.

◆ get_name()

virtual std::string hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::get_name ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Get name of the actuator hardware.

Returns
name.

◆ get_state()

const rclcpp_lifecycle::State& hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::get_state ( ) const
inline

Get life-cycle state of the actuator hardware.

Returns
state.

◆ on_init()

virtual CallbackReturn hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::on_init ( const HardwareInfo hardware_info)
inlinevirtual

Initialization of the hardware interface from data parsed from the robot's URDF.

Parameters
[in]hardware_infostructure with data from URDF.
Returns
CallbackReturn::SUCCESS if required data are provided and can be parsed.
CallbackReturn::ERROR if any error happens or data are missing.

Reimplemented in ros2_control_demo_hardware::RRBotModularJoint.

◆ perform_command_mode_switch()

virtual return_type hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::perform_command_mode_switch ( const std::vector< std::string > &  ,
const std::vector< std::string > &   
)
inlinevirtual

Perform the mode-switching for the new command interface combination.

Note
This is part of the realtime update loop, and should be fast.
All starting and stopping interface keys are passed to all components, so the function should return return_type::OK by default when given interface keys not relevant for this component.
Parameters
[in]start_interfacesvector of string identifiers for the command interfaces starting.
[in]stop_interfacesvector of string identifiers for the command interfacs stopping.
Returns
return_type::OK if the new command interface combination can be switched to, or if the interface key is not relevant to this system. Returns return_type::ERROR otherwise.

◆ prepare_command_mode_switch()

virtual return_type hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::prepare_command_mode_switch ( const std::vector< std::string > &  ,
const std::vector< std::string > &   
)
inlinevirtual

Prepare for a new command interface switch.

Prepare for any mode-switching required by the new command interface combination.

Note
This is a non-realtime evaluation of whether a set of command interface claims are possible, and call to start preparing data structures for the upcoming switch that will occur.
All starting and stopping interface keys are passed to all components, so the function should return return_type::OK by default when given interface keys not relevant for this component.
Parameters
[in]start_interfacesvector of string identifiers for the command interfaces starting.
[in]stop_interfacesvector of string identifiers for the command interfacs stopping.
Returns
return_type::OK if the new command interface combination can be prepared, or if the interface key is not relevant to this system. Returns return_type::ERROR otherwise.

◆ read()

virtual return_type hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::read ( )
pure virtual

Read the current state values from the actuator.

The data readings from the physical hardware has to be updated and reflected accordingly in the exported state interfaces. That is, the data pointed by the interfaces shall be updated.

Returns
return_type::OK if the read was successful, return_type::ERROR otherwise.

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_hardware::RRBotModularJoint.

◆ set_state()

void hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::set_state ( const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &  new_state)
inline

Set life-cycle state of the actuator hardware.

Returns
state.

◆ write()

virtual return_type hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::write ( )
pure virtual

Write the current command values to the actuator.

The physical hardware shall be updated with the latest value from the exported command interfaces.

Returns
return_type::OK if the read was successful, return_type::ERROR otherwise.

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_hardware::RRBotModularJoint.
