2. FUNCTION SPECIFICATIONS THAT DIFFER
FROM THE M series
B–63123EN/01
38
This manual mainly describes the differences from the retrace function
supported by the M series, as well as some precautions. The basic retrace
operation is the same as that for the retrace function supported by the M
series. Refer to the operator’s manual and connection manual.
1. Operation in G08 look–ahead control mode
Backward movement and re–forward movement can also be
performed in look–ahead control mode. The operation is as follows:
(1)When backward movement starts in look–ahead control mode,
look–ahead control mode is automatically canceled.
(2)Backward movement and re–forward movement are performed
with look–ahead control mode canceled.
(3)At the end of the block (N3) in which the backward movement
signal was turned on, single block stop is applied, then the
look–ahead control restart signal (RVSG08) is output.
(4)Subsequently starting machining continues machining from the
N4 block in look–ahead control mode.
(5)If backward movement was started after feed hold midway through
the execution of a block, look–ahead control mode is enabled from
the next block, not from the point at which forward feed is started
(point at which feed hold was applied).
