4.15 SIMULTANEOUS AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL OPERATION
In the simultaneous automatic and manual mode, for example, cutting
along an axis can be interrupted to change the depth of cut on that axis, or
the next workpiece can be set up during automatic operation.
Explanation
- Manual operation during simultaneous automatic and manual operation
There are two types of simultaneous automatic and manual operation.
(i) Interrupt type
An interrupt can be made for an axis for which the parking switch on
the machine operator’s panel is set to off. For the parking switch,
refer to the manual provided by the machine tool builder.
The interrupt type is enabled or disabled by the setting of the EMI bit
(bit 6) of parameter No. 1000.
(ii) Setup type
For an axis whose park signal is on, movement by manual continuous
feed or incremental feed can be performed during automatic
operation An interrupt can be made regardless of the automatic
operation status.
For an axis whose park signal is on, automatic operation cannot be
performed. If automatic operation is attempted for such an axis, an
alarm occurs.
- Switching between interrupt type and setup type
1 When the simultaneous automatic and manual operation mode is
selected
The type of simultaneous automatic and manual operation is
determined depending on the parking switch status when
simultaneous automatic and manual operation mode is selected.
2 When the parking switch setting is changed
In automatic operation, the time at which the type of simultaneous
automatic and manual operation is switched differs between single-
block operation and continuous operation.
[In single-block operation]
The type of simultaneous automatic and manual operation is
switched at the block subsequent to the block currently being
executed.
[In continuous operation]
The block at which the type of simultaneous automatic and manual
operation is switched varies depending on the execution status of
automatic operation. During continuous operation, do not change the
parking switch setting.
[At reset]
The type of simultaneous automatic and manual operation is
switched depending on the parking switch status at the time of reset.
- Manual operation
Automatic operation during simultaneous automatic and manual operation
is the same as ordinary automatic operation. Therefore, the following
