acSmaxVelo (N, SSP)

Maximum spindle speed

Maximum spindle speed

This variable returns the maximum spindle speed for spindle mode.

This is formed from the smallest active speed limitation, and cannot be exceeded by speed programming or

override > 100%.

A speed limitation is indicated by the VDI interface signal DB31..,DBX83.1 'Setpoint speed limited'

and by $AC_SPIND_STATE, bit 10 (setpoint speed limited).

The cause of the speed limitation (machine, setting data, G code, VDI interface signal etc.) can also

be determined with the system variable $AC_SMAXVELO_INFO.

If the spindle is in axis mode, then the speed is not limited by $AC_SMAXVELO but instead the machine data

(MAX_AX_VELO, ...) typical for axis mode are active.

Minimum spindle speed

Minimum spindle speed

This variable returns the minimum spindle speed for speed control mode.

This is formed from the highest active speed increase, and cannot be undershot by speed programming

or override < 100%.

A speed increase is indicated by the VDI interface signal DB31..,DBX83.2 'Setpoint speed increased'

and by $AC_SPIND_STATE, bit 11 (setpoint speed increased).

The cause of the speed increase (machine, setting data, G code, VDI interface signal etc.)

can also be determined with the system variable $AC_SMINVELO_INFO.

If the spindle is in axis or positioning mode, then the speed is not increased by $AC_SMINVELO.

acSmaxAcc (N, SSP2)

Active acceleration of the spindle

Active acceleration of the spindle

This variable returns the active acceleration of the spindle for spindle mode.

Bit 14 of $AC_SPIND_STATE (spindle accelerating) is set

for the duration of the acceleration to the defined setpoint speed.

Bit 15 of $AC_SPIND_STATE (spindle braking) is set

for the duration of the braking to the defined setpoint speed.

Apart from that, the acceleration-determining machine and setting data

can be determined with the system variable $AC_SMAXACC_INFO.

If the spindle is in axis mode, then $AC_SMAXACC does not return the current acceleration,

instead the machine data (MAX_AX_VELO, MAX_AX_ACCEL, ...) typical for axis mode are active.

YFAFL: NCK instruction group list (Fanuc)

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Nck/FunctionGroupingFanuc/...

All G functions currently configured for the channels are made available for reading by the NCK. They are configu-

red via machine data. Since the G functions are organized in groups, only one of which can be active at a time, this

module is organized as a table.

There are two columns for each G group. The 1st column lists the number of G functions in a group ($$/N/YFAFL/

Gruppe_NUM), this corresponds to the number of rows in each subsequent column. This second column contains

all the G functions belonging to a group ($$/N/YFAFL/Gruppe).

As a result, the data for a certain G group are calculated via a column offset.

The column offset of each variable is:

2 * (G group number - 1)

The number of G groups is given in the variable "$$numGCodeGroupsFanuc" in area N / module Y. The resultant

maximum column offset of the variables is thus 2 * $$numGCodeGroupsFanuc.

The G functions currently active are listed in area C / module SNCF.

AD: Adapter data (not for new developments)

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Adapter/...

Adapter data are used to define the dimensions of an adapter (L1, L2, L3) for each magazine location and the

direction (transformation) of any loaded tools.

The transformation is applied when cutting edge data are processed in the OPI modules TOT, TOST and TOET if the

tool is loaded in a magazine location to which adapter data are assigned.

Adapter data exist independently of magazine location data. The magazine location data contain a reference (see

TP module, placeData) to the adapter data.

(Not for new developments.)

adaptData (T, AD)

Adapter data

The variable contains the adapter data specified by system variable $TC_ADPT:

o Line 1: Adapter geometry length 1 ($TC_ADPT1)
