Indirect Axis Address Command

Overview

When the custom macro function is enabled, indirect specification by an axis number can be performed
by using AX[(axis-number)] instead of directly specifying an axis name during specification for an axis
address.
In addition, the axis number corresponding to the axis name can be obtained by using
AXNUM[(axis-name)].

Explanation

Indirect axis address

Indirect axis address AX[] can be used to perform a command for an axis with an axis number (AX[]
must be followed by “=”).

AX[(axis-number)]=(value);

(axis-number) :1 to number-of-control-axis (Number of each path for a multipath system)
(value)

:Value for the axis specified by its axis number

When the specified (axis-number) is invalid, the alarm PS0331, "ILLEGAL AXIS NUMBER IN AX[]"
occurs. If there is a value in the decimal place digits, the number rounded off is treated as (axis number).
A variable such as a local variable, common variable, or system variable can also be used as
(axis-number). When calculation using a variable name is performed for (axis-number), however, the
variable name must be enclosed with [].

1. AX[1]=100.0;

A value of 100.000 is specified for the first axis.

2. AX[#500]=200.0;

A value of 200.000 is specified for the axis having the value stored in #500 as its
axis number.

3. AX[#500+1]=300.0;

A value of 300.000 is specified for the axis having the value stored in #500 plus
1 as its axis number.

4. SETVN 500 [ABC];

AX[#ABC]=400.0;

A value of 400.000 is specified for the axis having the value stored in
#ABC(#500) as its axis number.

5. SETVN 500 [ABC];

AX[[#ABC]+1]=500.0;

A value of 500.000 is specified for the axis having the value stored in
#ABC(#500) plus 1 as its axis number.

6. SETVN 500 [ABC];

AX[#ABC+1]=500.0;

The alarm PS0114”ILLEGAL EXPRESSION FORMAT” occurs.

AXNUM function

AXNUM[] can be used to obtain an axis number.

AXNUM[(axis-name)];

If the specified (axis-name) is invalid, the alarm PS0332, "ILLEGAL AXIS ADDRESS IN AXNUM[]"
occurs.

When the number of control axes is three and the first axis name is "X", the second
axis name is "Y", and the third axis name is "Z"
1. #500=AXNUM[X];

A value of 1 is stored in #500.

2. #501=AXNUM[Y];

A value of 2 is stored in #501.

3. #502=AXNUM[Z];

A value of 3is stored in #502.

4. #503=AXNUM[A];

The alarm PS0332 occurs.

Example

Example where the first axis name is "X", the second axis name is "Y", and the third axis name is "Z1"

N10 SETVN 500[AXIS1,AXIS2,AXIS3] ;
N20 [#AXIS1]=AXNUM[X] ;
N30 [#AXIS2]=AXNUM[Y] ;
N40 [#AXIS3]=AXNUM[Z1] ;
N50 G92 AX[#AXIS1]=0 AX[#AXIS2]=0 AX[#AXIS3]=0 ;
N60 G01F1000. ;
N70 AX[#AXIS1]=100.0 AX[#AXIS2]=100.0 AX[#AXIS3]=100.0 ;
N80 G02 AX[#AXIS1]=200. 0 AX[#AXIS1]=200.0 R50.0 ;
N90 M02;

Limitation

When the custom macro function is enabled, "AX" and "AXN" cannot be used as extended axis names
and are assumed as AX[] and AXNUM[], respectively.

Interruption Type Custom Macro

Overview

When a program is being executed, another program can be called by inputting an interrupt signal UINT
<Gn053.3> from the machine. This function is referred to as an interruption type custom macro function.

Explanation

Program an interrupt command in the following format:

M96 Pxxxx;

Enables custom macro interrupt

M97 ;

Disables custom macro interrupt

Use of the interruption type custom macro function allows the user to call a program during execution of
an arbitrary block of another program. This allows programs to be operated to match situations which
vary from time to time.
(1) When a tool abnormality is detected, processing to handle the abnormality is started by an external

signal.

12. PROGRAM COMMAND

B-64693EN-1/01

(2) A sequence of machining operations is interrupted by another machining operation without the

cancellation of the current operation.

(3) At regular intervals, information on current machining is read.
:
Listed above are examples like adaptive control applications of the interruption type custom macro
function.

Fig. 12.6.3 Interruption type custom macro function

When M96Pxxxx is specified in a program, subsequent program operation can be interrupted by an
interrupt signal UINT input to execute the program specified by Pxxxx. When the interrupt signal UINT
(marked with an asterisk (*) in Fig. 12.6.3) is input during execution of the interrupt program or after
M97, it is ignored.

Interrupt signal for custom macro UINT<Gn053.3>

[Classification] Input signal

[Function] This signal calls and executes a program in memory.

During execution, a program in automatic operation is suspended.
To enable this signal to be accepted, a particular miscellaneous function must be specified
in a command program for automatic operation. In addition, automatic operation must
already be started to accept this signal. The particular miscellaneous function code is set
by parameter Nos. 6003, 6033 and 6034.

12.6.4

Embedded Macro

Overview

This function protects a program created by a machine tool builder, by storing the program in a folder
dedicated to embedded macros (hereinafter referred to as an MTB1 folder) and assigning an attribute to
the folder.
At the same time, the following functions are available:

(1) A dedicated program memory capacity of 100K bytes (corresponding to about 260 m) is provided in

addition the ordinary program memory capacity.
The number of registerable programs remains unchanged from the ordinary number of registerable
programs.

(2) To the MTB1 folder, an attribute such as edit prohibition and edit/display prohibition can be

assigned. Moreover, by using a dedicated password and keyword, a set value can be locked.

(3) A program stored in the MTB1 folder can be used by calling based on a code such as M/T codes,

macro calling based on a G code, macro calling based on G65/G66, and subprogram calling based
on an M code such as M98.

(4) Custom macro common variables (#200 to #499) are added.

Detailed explanation

(1) Program memory capacity

A dedicated program memory capacity of 100K bytes (corresponding to about 260 m) is provided in
addition the ordinary program memory capacity.

The dedicated program memory capacity is managed separately from the ordinary program memory
capacity. Program memory capacity information (used pages and free pages) is displayed as
described below.
-

- 2080 -

(3) Program protection function

One of two attributes can be assigned to the MTB1 folder.
1)

Edit prohibition
Editing of the programs in the folder is prohibited.
-

The contents of programs cannot be edited.

No program name and program attribute can be modified.

No program can be deleted.

No new program can be created in the folder.

Edit/display prohibition
The contents of programs in the folder cannot be edited.
No new program can be created in the folder.
The programs in the folder become invisible.
No program in the folder can be output to an external device.

By setting the edit prohibition attribute or edit/display prohibition attribute, the programs in the
folder can be protected from modification and deletion due to an operation error.

NOTE

Subfolders cannot be created in the MTB1 folder.

(4) Password and keyword

By setting a password in parameter No. 11311 and setting a keyword in parameter No. 11312, the
attribute setting of the MTB1 folder can be locked.
In the locked state, the attribute of the MTB1 folder cannot be changed. Thus, the protection of the
programs in the MTB1 folder cannot be canceled without setting the correct keyword.
-

Locked state
The locked state means the state where the value of the password parameter No. 11311 and the
value of the keyword parameter No. 11312 differ from each other.

The values set in these parameters are not displayed.

Unlocked state
The unlocked state means the state where the value of the password parameter No. 11311 and
the value of the keyword parameter No. 11312 match each other.

The values set in these parameters are not displayed.

State where no key is set

When 0 is displayed in the password parameter No. 11311, no password is set yet.

NOTE

The attribute of the MTB1 folder can be changed only in the unlocked state.

(5) Calling

A program stored in the MTB1 folder can be used by calling based on a code such as M/T codes,
macro calling based on a G code, macro calling based on G65/G66, and subprogram calling based
on an M code such as M98.
For macro calling based on a G code, G codes used for calling are additionally set as indicated below.
Parameters are used to set the relationship between a G code used for macro calling and the number
of a called program. Up to ten sets can be set.

Example)

Suppose that the following (Table 12.6.4 (a)) are set by the parameters:

Table 12.6.4 (a)

First group

Second group

Third group

G code

No.12020=100

No.12023=150

No.12026=900

Program number

No.12021=8000

No.12024=7500

No.12027=8300

Number of G codes/programs

No.12022=10

No.12025=5

No.12028=30

B-64693EN-1/01

Then the G codes call the programs in the Table 12.6.4 (b):

Table 12.6.4 (b)

G code

Called program

G100 to G109

O8000 to O8009

G150 to G154

O7500 to O7504

G900 to G929

O8300 to O8329

NOTE

When this function is enabled, the MTB1 folder is added to the top of the search
order as a program search folder for macro call and subprogram call.

(1) If a program to be called is registered in the MTB1 folder, the program in the

MTB1 folder is called.

(2) If a program to be called is not registered in the MTB1 folder, the program is

searched for according to parameter No. 3457.

(6) Macro variable

Common variables #200 to #499 are added.

These variables are independent variables on a path-by-path basis as with variables #100 to #199.

When the power is turned off, the variables are initialized and the data becomes null.

When bit 3 (PV5) of parameter No. 6001 is set to 1, the custom macro outputs common
variables #100 to #199, #200 to #499, and #500 to #599.

When bit 6 (CCV) of parameter No. 6001 is set to 0, common variables #100 to #199 and #200
to #499 are cleared to null by a reset. When CCV is set to 1, these common variables are not
cleared by a reset.

NOTE

By specifying parameter No. 6036, variables can be made common to all paths.
If the option for the embedded macro function is specified but the addition of
custom macro common variables is disabled (bit 6 (NCV) of parameter No.8135
is 1), #150 to #199 are unusable. However, in this parameter, set a number
including #150 to #199.

Example of setting)

When 200 is set in parameter No. 6036:

#100 to #299: Common to all paths

#300 to #449: Used independently on a path-by-path basis

#150 to #199 can be used when the adding custom macro common variables
is enabled (bit 6(NCV) of parameter No.8135 is 0).

Operation explanation
