15. PMC CONTROL FUNCTION
B–63523EN–1/03
1834
If the simultaneous start mode is set on, the commands for multiple paths
can be simultaneously started. By using this function together with
sec/block described in Item (1), ”Cutting feed,” linear interpolation by
PMC axis control can be implemented.

EC0g to EC6g

Simultaneous start mode off 40H
Simultaneous start mode on 41H
Simultaneous start
path specification
EIF0g to EIF3g
Specify the paths to be started simultaneously.
Set 1 in the bits corresponding to the command groups of the paths to be
started simultaneously.
EIF0g = GroupA
EIF1g = GroupB
EIF2g = GroupC
EIF3g = GroupD
After the block of setting on the simultaneous start mode is executed, the
command blocks of the paths to be started simultaneously are not
executed until all the command blocks are set in the input buffer. This
mode is valid until a command to set off the simultaneous start mode is
specified.
Starting groups A and C simultaneously
Step 1: Set on the simultaneously start mode from Group C.
EC0C to EC6C = 01000001(41H)
EIF0C to EIF3C = 00000101(05H)
Step 2: Specify a cutting feed sec/block for Groups A and C.
EC0A to EC6A = 00100001(21H)
EC0C to EC6C = 00100001(21H)
EIF0A to EIF7A = 00110010(32H)
EIF0C to EIF7C = 00110010(32H)
EIF8A to EIF15A = 00000000(00H)
EIF8C to EIF15C = 00000000(00H)
EID0A to EID7A = 01000000(40H)
EID0C to EID7C = 01010000(50H)
EID8A to EID15A = 00001101(0DH)
EID8C to EID15C = 11000011(C3H)
EID16A to EID23A = 00000011(03H)
EID16C to EID23C = 00000000(00H)
EID24A to EID31A = 00000000(00H)
EID24C to EID31C = 00000000(00H)
