1. Outline
This function enables the following three operations in pushing the switch installed in the
machine only by the change in a minimum LADDER program.
(1) Changes to MEM mode.
(2) Execution of macro program registered in memory.
(3) Return to the mode before macro program is executed.
And the program which had been selected before macro program is executed is
automatically selected.
This function is effective only in the reset state. That is, this function cannot be used in
cycle start state, feed hold state, and automatic operation stop state.
This function is an optional function.
2. Specification
2.1 Sequence between PMC and CNC
The signal must be processed between PMC and CNC according to the following
procedures.
• Start
(1) The macro call start signal (MCSTx) is input from PMC to CNC based on the signal
from the macro call switch installed in the machine.
• Mode change
(2) CNC outputs the mode notification signal and the mode change request signal
(MCRQ) when the macro call start signal (MCSTx) is detected. At this time, MEM
mode is notified as the mode notification signal. The macro call executing signal
(MCEXE) is output at the same time.
(3) PMC must change the mode based on the signal output in the step of above (2).
(4) Please set “1” in the mode change completion signal (MCFIN) by PMC when the mode
change is completed. If the mode when MCFIN signal is set to “1” is different from
the mode specified from CNC in the step of (2), the alarm of P/S5306 is generated.
• Execution of macro program
(5) When MCFIN signal is set to “1”, CNC executes the macro program.
