Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ActuatorInterface()

hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::ActuatorInterface ( const ActuatorInterface & other )

delete

ActuatorInterface 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_example_6::RRBotModularJoint, and ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.

◆ 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_example_6::RRBotModularJoint, and ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.

◆ 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_info structure 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_example_6::RRBotModularJoint, and ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.

◆ 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_interfaces	vector of string identifiers for the command interfaces starting.
[in]	stop_interfaces	vector of string identifiers for the command interfaces 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_interfaces	vector of string identifiers for the command interfaces starting.
[in]	stop_interfaces	vector of string identifiers for the command interfaces 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	(	const rclcpp::Time &	time,
		const rclcpp::Duration &	period
	)

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.

Parameters

[in]	time	The time at the start of this control loop iteration
[in]	period	The measured time taken by the last control loop iteration

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

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_example_6::RRBotModularJoint, and ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.

◆ 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	(	const rclcpp::Time &	time,
		const rclcpp::Duration &	period
	)

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.

Parameters

[in]	time	The time at the start of this control loop iteration
[in]	period	The measured time taken by the last control loop iteration

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

Implemented in ros2_control_demo_example_6::RRBotModularJoint, and ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.
