11.3 THE AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
When a numeric value is specified after address B, the code signal and
strobe signal are output. This code is held until the next B code is
output. A B code is used, for example, for rotation axis indexing on the
machine. One block can contain only one B code. By setting parameter
No. 1030, A, C, U, V, or W can be used instead of address B. However,
duplication with a controlled axis address is not allowed. For details,
refer to the manual provided by the machine tool builder.
Explanations
- Command range
The maximum number of digits that can be used for a second auxiliary
function is specified using parameter No. 2033; a number from 1 to 10
can be specified. If you specify 8, for example, you can subsequently
specify a value from 0 to 99999999.
- Decimal point input
The number of decimal places for a second auxiliary function is
specified using parameter No. 2428. When you specify 0, you can not
enter any data in the fraction part.
Limitations
An address (B or an address specified by parameter No. 1030) used for
a second auxiliary function cannot be used as a controlled axis name
(parameter No. 1020).
