3781 P code for selecting the spindle in multi-spindle control
[Input type] Parameter input
[Data type] Word spindle
[Valid data range] 0 to 32767
If bit 3 (MPP) of parameter No. 3703 is set to 1, set the P code to
select each spindle under multi-spindle control. Specify the P code
in a block containing the S command.
Example)
If the P code value for selecting the second spindle is set to 3,
S1000 P3;
causes the second spindle to rotate at S1000.
NOTE
1 This parameter is valid if bit 3 (MPP) of parameter
No. 3703 is set to 1.
2 If this parameter is set to 0, the corresponding
spindle cannot be selected by a P code.
3 Under multipath control, the P code specified here
is valid for each path.
For instance, if the P code to select the first spindle
of path 2 is set to 21, specifying S1000 P21; in
path 1 causes the first spindle of path 2 to be
rotated at S1000.
4 Identical P code values cannot be used for
different spindles. (Identical P code values cannot
be used even if the paths are different.)
5 When this parameter is used (when bit 3 (MPP) of
parameter No. 3703 is set to 1), the spindle
command selection signal is invalid.
6 To use this parameter, the multi-spindle control
function is needed.
Alarm and message
Number Message Description
PS5305 ILLEGAL SPINDLE NUMBER In a spindle select function by address P for a multiple spindle
control,
1) Address P is not specified.
2) Parameter No.3781 is not specified to the spindle to be
selected.
3) An illegal G code which cannot be commanded with an
S_P_; command is specified.
4) A multi spindle cannot be used because the parameter EMS
(No. 3702#1) is 1.
