Detailed Description

Forward command controller for a set of joints and interfaces.

This class forwards the command signal down to a set of joints or interfaces.

Subscribes to:

commands (std_msgs::msg::Float64MultiArray) : The commands to apply.

Member Function Documentation

◆ command_interface_configuration()

controller_interface::InterfaceConfiguration forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::command_interface_configuration ( ) const

overridevirtual

Get configuration for controller's required command interfaces.

Method used by the controller_manager to get the set of command interfaces used by the controller. Each controller can use individual method to determine interface names that in simples case have the following format: <joint>/<interface>. The method is called only in inactive or active state, i.e., on_configure has to be called first. The configuration is used to check if controller can be activated and to claim interfaces from hardware. The claimed interfaces are populated in the command_interfaces_ member.

Returns: configuration of command interfaces.

Implements controller_interface::ControllerInterfaceBase.

◆ declare_parameters()

virtual void forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::declare_parameters ( )

protectedpure virtual

Derived controllers have to declare parameters in this method. Error handling does not have to be done. It is done in on_init-method of this class.

Implemented in forward_command_controller::ForwardCommandController, and forward_command_controller::MultiInterfaceForwardCommandController.

◆ on_init()

controller_interface::CallbackReturn forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::on_init ( )

overridevirtual

Extending interface with initialization method which is individual for each controller.

Implements controller_interface::ControllerInterfaceBase.

Reimplemented in effort_controllers::JointGroupEffortController, position_controllers::JointGroupPositionController, and velocity_controllers::JointGroupVelocityController.

◆ read_parameters()

virtual controller_interface::CallbackReturn forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::read_parameters ( )

protectedpure virtual

Derived controllers have to read parameters in this method and set command_interface_types_ variable. The variable is then used to propagate the command interface configuration to controller manager. The method is called from on_configure-method of this class.

It is expected that error handling of exceptions is done.

Returns: controller_interface::CallbackReturn::SUCCESS if parameters are successfully read and their values are allowed, controller_interface::CallbackReturn::ERROR otherwise.

Implemented in forward_command_controller::ForwardCommandController, and forward_command_controller::MultiInterfaceForwardCommandController.

◆ state_interface_configuration()

controller_interface::InterfaceConfiguration forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::state_interface_configuration ( ) const

overridevirtual

Get configuration for controller's required state interfaces.

Method used by the controller_manager to get the set of state interface used by the controller. Each controller can use individual method to determine interface names that in simples case have the following format: <joint>/<interface>. The method is called only in inactive or active state, i.e., on_configure has to be called first. The configuration is used to check if controller can be activated and to claim interfaces from hardware. The claimed interfaces are populated in the state_interfaces_ member.

Returns: configuration of state interfaces.

Implements controller_interface::ControllerInterfaceBase.

◆ update()

controller_interface::return_type forward_command_controller::ForwardControllersBase::update	(	const rclcpp::Time &	time,
		const rclcpp::Duration &	period
	)

overridevirtual

Control step update. Command interfaces are updated based on on reference inputs and current states. The method called in the (real-time) control loop.

Parameters

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

Returns: return_type::OK if update is successfully, otherwise return_type::ERROR.

Implements controller_interface::ControllerInterfaceBase.
