1. AXIS CONTROL
19
When position control is disabled for the controlled axes (when the servo
is off, during emergency stop, or during a servo alarm), if the machine is
moved, a positional error occurs. Follow–up is a function for changing
the current position of the CNC and reset the error counter to zero,
assuming a command corresponding to the error has been specified.
You can select whether to perform follow–up for axes for which the servo
is turned off.
Follow–up is always performed during emergency stop or a servo alarm.
When signal *FLWU is 1, follow–up is not performed. The error is added
to the error counter as a servo error. In this case, the machine moves to
compensate for the error when the servo off signal changes to 0.
In general, follow–up is not used if the machine is mechanically clamped
when position control is disabled for the controlled axes.
When *FLWU is “0”, the follow-up function is engaged. The present
position of the CNC is changed to reset the error counter to zero. The
machine tool remains in a deviated position, but since the present position
of the CNC changes correspondingly, the machine moves to the correct
position when the absolute command is next applied.
In general, follow–up should be used when motors are driven by
mechanical handles.
