Signal
Signals for the rigid tapping function
Rigid tapping in-progress signal RTAP<F040#4>
[Classification] Output signal
[Function] This signal notifies the PMC that rigid tapping mode is set.
RTAP 1 : Rigid tapping mode is currently set.
0 : Rigid tapping mode is not currently set.
Spindle rotation direction signals RSPP,RSPM<F155#0,#1>
[Classification] Output signal
[Function] During rigid tapping, these signals notify the PMC of whether the
spindle is rotating in the forward or reverse direction.
During rigid tapping, the spindle is:
RSPP 1 : Rotating in the forward direction (CW).
0 : Not rotating in the forward direction.
RSPM 1 : Rotating in the reverse direction (CCW).
0 : Not rotating in the reverse direction.
[Output condition] These signals are output when the spindle is rotating in rigid tapping
mode. This means that, even in rigid tapping mode, these signals are
not output, for example, when the spindle is being positioned to a hole
position, or a dwell operation is in progress at the bottom of a hole or at
an R point.
When the spindle is placed in the interlock stop state, feed hold state, or
single block stop state, these signals are output.
Constant spindle speed signal RSPC<F155#2>
[Classification] Output signal
[Function] Reports that the spindle speed during tapping has become constant in
rigid tapping mode.
RSPC 1 : The spindle speed has become constant.
0 : The spindle speed is not constant.
[Output condition] This signal is output once the spindle speed has become constant
during tapping. This signal continues to be output while the spindle
speed is constant.
