12.SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA (15INCH) OPERATION B-63944EN/02
- 46 -
Explanation
- Machining time
The machining time is counted from the initial start after a reset in the
memory operation mode to the next reset. If a reset is not performed
during operation, the machining time is counted from the start to M02
(or M30). The time during which operation is held is not counted, but
the time used to wait for the completion of the M, S, T, and/or B
functions is counted, however.
- Stamping the machining time
You can insert (stamp) the displayed machining time in a program
stored in memory as a comment. The machining time is inserted as a
comment after the program number.
- Program directory
You can display the machining time inserted after a program number
on the program directory screen. This operation lets you know the
machining time of each program to use the time as useful reference
data when planning processes on site.
Limitation
- Alarm
The execution of a program may be held by an alarm during the
machining time count operation. In this case, the machining time is
counted until the alarm is released by a reset.
- M02
It may be specified that M02 does not reset the CNC, but returns
completion signal FIN to the CNC to restart the program from the
beginning successively (bit 5 (M02) of parameter No. 3404 is set to 0).
In this case, when M02 returns completion signal FIN, the machining
time count operation stops.
- Stamping the machining time
When an attempt is made to stamp the machining time of a program in
the program, the machining time of the program may not be displayed
on the machining time display screen. In this case, the machining time
cannot be inserted in the program even if horizontal soft key [INSERT
TIME] is pressed.
- Correcting the machining time
If an incorrect machining time is calculated (such as when a reset is
made during the execution of a program), re-execute the program to
calculate the correct machining time. The same program number may
be displayed in two or more lines on the machining time display screen.
In this case, the latest calculated machining time is inserted in the
program.
