12.1.7 Operating Monitor Display

The load meter for a servo axis can be displayed. Also, the load meter and speed meter for a serial spindle

can be displayed.

To enable this function, bit 5 (OPM) of parameter No. 3111 must be set to 1.

Procedure for displaying the operating monitor

Procedure

Press function key

Press continuous menu key

Press soft key [MONITOR].

Fig. 12.1.7 (a) Operating monitor (10.4-inch)

Explanation

Display of the servo axes

Servo axis load meters as many as the maximum number of controlled axes of the path can be displayed.

For the 10.4-inch display unit, up to five axes can be concurrently displayed on one screen. If soft key

[MONITOR] is pressed, the load meters of the sixth and subsequent axes are displayed.

For the 8.4-inch display unit, up to four axes can be concurrently displayed on one screen. If soft key

[MONITOR] is pressed, the load meters of the fifth and subsequent axes are displayed.

To display up to five axes concurrently on one screen of the 8.4-inch display unit as in the 10.4-inch

display unit, set bit 4 (9DE) of parameter No. 11350 to 1.

Display of the spindle axes

Both a load meter and spindle meter can be displayed for the first spindle when a serial spindle is used.

Unit of graph

The bar graph for the load meter shows load up to 200% (only a value is displayed for load exceeding

200%).

The bar graph for the speedometer shows the ratio of the current spindle speed to the maximum spindle

speed (100%).

- 549 -

12.SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA OPERATION

B-64304EN/02

Load meter

The reading on the load meter depends on servo parameter No. 2086 and spindle parameter No. 4127.

Speedometer

Although the speedometer normally indicates the speed of the spindle motor, it can also be used to indicate

the speed of the spindle by setting bit 6 (OPS) of parameter No. 3111 to 1.

The spindle speed to be displayed during operation monitoring is calculated from the speed of the spindle

motor (see the formula below).

The spindle speed can therefore be displayed, during operation monitoring, even when no position coder is

used.

To display the correct spindle speed, however, the maximum spindle speed for each gear (spindle speed at

each gear ratio when the spindle motor rotates at the maximum speed) must be set in parameters No. 3741

to No.3744.

Input of the clutch/gear signal for the first spindle of the serial spindle is used to determine the gear

currently selected, so input of signals CTH1A and CTH2A must be controlled according to the gear

selection with reference to the table below.

(Formula for calculating the spindle speed to be displayed)

The speed of the spindle motor and spindle can be displayed, during operation monitoring, only for the

first serial spindle and the spindle switching axis for the first serial spindle. It cannot be displayed for the

second spindle.

Color of graph

If the value of a load meter exceeds 100%, the bar graph turns yellow.

Speedometer

Speedometer displays the spindle motor speed, but it is possible to change to the display of spindle speed

by setting as bit 6 (OPS) of parameter No.3111 = 1.

Displayed spindle speed is calculated by using the spindle motor speed. (Refer to the expression below)

Therefore, the spindle speed can be displayed even if there is no position coder.

However, It is necessary to set parameter No.3741-3744 (the maximum spindle speed at each gear)

correctly to display correct spindle speed.

12.2.9 Background Editing

Editing of a program other than the main program is called background editing. In background editing,

a program can be edited during execution of another program and the same editing operations as normal

editing (foreground editing) can be performed. There are the editing mode and reference mode in

background editing. A program can be edited in the editing mode, but a program cannot be edited in the

reference mode. In the reference mode, a program being operated can be referenced.

Background editing can be performed in any mode.

Number of programs editable in the background

The number of programs editable in the background is only one for each path.

Background editing on a 2-path system

Each path has its own editing status, background or foreground. If the editing status of path 1 is

background and that of path 2 is foreground, therefore, switching from path 1 to path 2 causes the

program of path 2 being subjected to foreground editing to be displayed on the program editing screen

and, by contrast, switching from path 2 to path 1 causes the program of path 1 being subjected to

background editing to be displayed.

In addition, if simultaneous editing of programs of the both paths is enabled (bit 0 (DHD) of parameter

No. 3106 = 1 and bit 2 (DOP) of parameter No. 3193 = 0), starting background editing for one of the

paths causes background editing for the other path to be started; hence simultaneous background editing

of programs for both the paths.

A program for one path can be displayed along with one for the other path during background editing. It

is possible to switch between the edit target programs displayed side by side for copy and paste; hence

efficient program editing.

Screen display

When background editing starts, the normal editing screen is switched to the background editing screen.

The program name and "BG: EDIT", which indicates that background editing is in progress, appear in the

program status line above the program.

When background editing is performed in the reference mode, "BG: READ ONLY" appears in the

program status line. The characters are displayed in green when the program is displayed in the color

NOTE

1 A program in the place where the main program is present can be specified for

background editing (or a program in the CNC built-in memory if no main program

is present) can be specified for background editing. On the program list screen,

however, the program of the displayed device can be opened for background

editing. When editing a program not in the place where the main program is

present in the background, select the program on the program list screen.

2 When opening an O-number program for background editing, address O can be

omitted.

3 The mode selected at the start of background editing is kept until it is finished.

To switch between the editing mode and the reference mode, finish background

editing and then start background editing in the desired mode again.

containing the sequence number with which operation stops.

Enter in (SEQUENCE NO.) for SEQUENCE STOP (with five or less digits) the sequence number

with which operation is stopped.

When the set program is selected and automatic operation is started, the operation makes a single

block stop at the block with the set sequence number.

Explanation

Sequence number after the program is executed

After the specified sequence number is found during the execution of the program, the sequence number

setting for sequence number compensation and stop becomes “-1”.

Exceptional blocks

If the predetermined sequence number is found in a block in which all commands are those to be

processed within the CNC control unit, the execution does not stop at that block.
