(3) Composite Control
Move commands can be interchanged between an axis in path 1 or path 2 and an axis in the other
path. In other words, when a machining program is executed for one path, actual machining can
be performed with an axis in the other path. Coordinate systems can also be switched
automatically between independent control and composite control.
(a) Setting
Parameter No.8183 specifies the axes between which commands are to be interchanged.
(Example)
Between the X1-axis and the X3-axis:
Parameter No.8183x of path 3 = 11
Between the Y2-axis and the X1-axis:
Parameter No.8183x of path 1 = 24
Between the Z3-axis and the Y2-axis:
Parameter No.8183y of path 2 = 32
To set up coordinate systems automatically when composite control begins or ends, set
parameter MPMx and MPSx (bit4 and bit5 of parameter No.8162) to "1", and specify the
positional relationship between the coordinate systems in parameter No.8184.
(b) Programming
Use M codes for wait, beginning, and terminating composite control in a machining program
in the stated order. It is also possible to begin and terminate composite control without using
M codes.
(c) Signal operation
When composite control begins or ends (when an M code is issued), the composite control axis
selection signals (MIX1-MIX8) for the target axis to set the parameter as the composite control
axis (from the PMC to the CNC) are changed from "0" to "1" (to begin composite control) or
from "1" to "0" (to end composite control).
