Fig. 16.1.1 (m) Timing chart of buffering related signals
Buffering is disabled, regardless of the buffering disable signal EMBUFg, for the following commands:
(1) Skip-feed per minute (EC0g to EC6g : 03h)
(2) Reference position return (EC0g to EC6g : 05h)
(3) 1st reference position return (EC0g to EC6g : 07h)
(4) 2nd reference position return (EC0g to EC6g : 08h)
(5) 3rd reference position return (EC0g to EC6g : 09h)
(6) 4th reference position return (EC0g to EC6g : 0Ah)
(7) Machine coordinate system selection (EC0g to EC6g : 20h)
(18) Controlled axis selection status signal *EAXSL <F129.7>
[Classification] Output signal, path-by-path signal
[Function] Indicates whether PMC axis control is being exercised.
[Operation] When this signal is set to “0”, controlled axis selection signals EAX1 to EAX8 can be
changed.
This signal is set to “1” in the following cases:
(1) When the tool is moving along a PMC-controlled axis
(2) When a block is being read into a buffer
(3) When the servo-off signal ESOFg is set to “1”
When this signal is set to “1”, controlled axis selection signals EAX1 to EAX8 cannot be
changed. Any attempt to change these signals results in the output of an alarm PS0139,
“CANNOT CHANGE PMC CONTROL AXIS”.
If an attempt to change signals EAX1 to EAX8 is made when servo-off signal ESOFg is
“1”, an alarm PS0139 occurs and cannot be released simply by setting reset signal
ECLRg to “1”. In such a case, restore signals EAX1 to EAX8 or set servo-off signal
ESOFg to “0” before setting reset signal ECLRg to “1”. When a command is issued for
any of the four groups with PMC axis control, signal *EAXSL is set to “1” to disable axis
selection. Thus, changing signals EAX1 to EAX8 results in the output of an alarm
PS0139. For groups for which commands are not issued, however, axis selection is
enabled if bit 5 (DSL) of parameter No. 8004 is set accordingly.
