(as shown in the above right figure)
3.6.8.2 Set "P parameter"
P parameter is a parameter relating to machining and system operation.
All PLC subprogram switches and PLC determinations of system are set
by P parameter, and P parameter can be set under the "User setup"
interface. Whereas this parameter has a great effect on safety of machine
tool, please be sure to modify it under the guidance of related authorized
person.
P parameter corresponds to the parameters after machine tool user
parameter 010300 and correspond to the same memory address with these
user parameters. 『P parameter』 soft key is a shortcut key.
Press 『P parameter』 soft key under the "User setup" sub-interface to
enter the "P parameter" sub-interface (as shown below).
84
It should be noted that when a function is enabled through setting P
parameter, not only should PLC switch be set, but also other relevant
parameters and functions should be set. e.g.: When rotation function of
mill spindle is enabled, not only should parameters of spindle rotation
ON/OFF be set, but also spindle rotation parameters should be set;
otherwise, the spindle cannot rotate.
3.6.8.3 Set "M code"
M code table is mainly used to set the determinations such as M code
validation, validation sequence when M codes and G00 are in the same line and
whether M codes are identified in any line scanning.
Press 『M code』 soft key under the "User set" sub-interface to enter the "M
code" submenu (as shown below).
85
Under the "M code" sub-interface, M codes have four setups: type (pre or
post), whether any line is scanned, G00 synchronization, and spindle
control. Where, setup of M00, M01, M02, M05, M30, M92 and M93 codes
is cured of the system, of which the Pre/Post attribute cannot be changed.
M00: Program suspension
While executing M00 command, the execution of current program is
suspended, and the system is at feed hold state, so that the operator can
conducts the operations including size measurement of tool and workpiece,
workpiece turn-around and manual speed change. Press [Cycle start] to
continue to run the program;
M01: Optional stop
If this function key on the system panel lights up, the system suspends the
execution of current program while executing M01 command, and at time
tim the system is at feed hold state; so that the operator can conducts the
operations including size measurement of tool and workpiece, workpiece
turn-around and manual speed change. Press [Cycle start] to continue to
run the program;
If the “Optional stop” key on the system panel does not light up, the system
does not suspend the execution of current program while executing M01
command.
M92: Program suspension (wait for user's manual intervention)
While executing M92 command, the system suspends the execution of
current program and waits for user's manual intervention before cycle start.
The difference from M00 is that the user can manually intervene with axes,
and move axes under "Jog" mode. Then, press "Cycle start" under "Auto "
mode to continue running the current program.
Note: When M92 is used, The channel parameter 040059【Automatic
breakpoint block number return】 must be set as 0, that is, the function of
returning to the breakpoint position automatically after manual intervention
is turned off. Otherwise, manual intervention is invalid.
M93: Program suspension (manual intervention is not allowed)
M93 command is equal to M00 command. Differnet from M92, user's
manual intervention is not allowed when M93 suspends the program.
M02: Program end
M02 is often edited in the last block of the main program. When the system
executes M02 code, spindle, feed and cooling of the machine tool stop, and
the machining is completed.
After a program using M02 ends, to re-execute the program, users should
recall and load the program and press [Cycle start].
86
M30: Program termination
M30 is often edited in the last block of the main program. When the system
executes M30 code, spindle, feed and cooling of the machine tool stop and
the machining is terminated, and then the system returns to program header
automatically.
After a program using M30 ends, to re-execute the program, recall and load
the program and press [Cycle start].
a) Pre or post
Pre: M code takes effect first when M code and G code are in the same
line;
Post: G code takes effect first when M code and G code are in the same
line;
Synchronization: M code and G code are executed simultaneously when
they are in the same line.
The synchronous execution of M code and G00 rapid traverse positioning
command is not included in the above three situations.
b) Scanning of any line
Yes: After the scanning mode of the channel parameter 040113 【Any line
mode selection】 is turned on, the system scans the M code while using any
line function.
No: While using any line function, the system does not scan the M code
whether any line function is turned on or not.
c) G00 synchronization
Yes: M code and G00 code are executed simultaneously;
No: M code and G00 code cannot be executed synchronously.
In HCNC system, the synchronous execution of M code and G00 is used as
a configurable attribute. If the system do not conduct cutting while
executing G00 command, some designated M codes can be executed
synchronously to improve efficiency, such as M03 spindle CW rotation,
M04 spindle CCW rotation, and M08 cooling ON, etc. After M code is
executed, the response conditions of M codes in PLC must trigger
G2562.13 signal and notify the system of executing the next block of
movement.
0
d) Spindle control
When M code is used to control CW rotation, CCW rotation and stop of
spindle, it can be marked and prompted using this configuration, and it has
87
no effect on the actual attribute and action of M code. It is often used for
marking M code of multiple channels and multiple spindles.
3.6.8.4 Set "PLC switch"
PLC switch setup function is to decompose the designated user P parameter
to
32 bits and every bit is a configurable PLC switch. PLC switch is
configured by PLCSW.STR configuration file under parm directory. The
