B-65395EN/01 HANDLING 3.PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT CONTROL
- 117 -
CAUTION
This improvement is intended for ATC/turret control,
and is not applied to point positioning with function
code 3. Response data is also output if point
positioning is performed, but it does not contain the
point number but the turret/magazine number based
on the current position. Also, the MINP, +MOR, and
-MOR signals are not those corresponding to the
point number but corresponding to the
turret/magazine number. Also note that the response
data output if another function code is issued contains
the turret/magazine number and the MINP, +MOR,
and -MOR signals based on the current position.
NOTE
1 Information is not updated real-time and, therefore,
the function cannot be used for such purposes as the
position switch, which must monitor the position
constantly. (Response data based on the position at
the time when the logic of ABSWT (X
x+1
#0) is inverted
is retained, and is not updated the next time the logic
of ABSWT is inverted.)
2 When reading response data using ABSWT (X
X+1
#0)
and ABSRD (Y
y+1
#4), note that there are variations of
up to 40 ms in the transfer between the host and the
servo amplifier module. If, therefore, response data
is read during axis movement, the response data may
not match the current turret/magazine number and
the MINP, +MOR, and -MOR signals because of the
variations. The variation maximum may be greater
depending on how the ladder program is created.
3 Even if, after the power is turned on, response data is
read using ABSWT (X
X+1
#0) an ABSRD (Y
y+1
#4)
before performing ATC/turret control, the
turret/magazine number and the MINP, +MOR, -MOR
signals based on the current position are output.
4 If the current position is near a magazine number
boundary, the turret/magazine number may fluctuate
if the motor fluctuates.
5 For compatibility with conventional types, bit 5
(ATCR2) of parameter No. 007 must be set to "1" to
use this improved type.
6 No response data is output until the reference
position is established. If bit 2 (NZRPO) of parameter
No. 007 is set to "1", however, response data is
output even if the reference position is not
established.
