NC manual mode

Overview

The online menu is the main menu for online axis operation. Here, after setting the releases, the corresponding axis can be moved manually. In addition, the most important axis states are displayed by means of checkmarks when the configuration is active.

 NC manual mode 1:

The menu is divided into displays, input fields and function keys.


Displays

- Actual position and setpoint position,
- lag error with minimum and maximum value since last reset,
- actual velocity and target velocity,
- override in %, total and controller output in %, error code,
- axis status:
- ready for operation, referenced. In standstill (logical),
- Has order, Moves larger, Moves smaller, Coupled, In target position (i.e. in the set target window for a preset time), In position range (i.e. in the preset position range).
- Enables for controller, feed+, feed-.

 

Input fields

Partly with download by mouse click on the rectangular button. After pressing this arrow symbol, the value of the input field is transferred to the NC server.

Enable

Data type

Value

Unit

Description

 Kv-factor  

FLOAT    

>=0

[mm/s]/mm

P controller Kv-factor.

Reference velocity  

FLOAT    

>0

mm/s

Reference velocity at maximum output size (e.g. at 10 V).

Target position

FLOAT    

mm

Target position where the download calls the "New target position" function.

Travel velocity 

FLOAT    

>0 

mm/s

Global set velocity. 

If the distance is too short to reach this velocity, a smaller suitable target velocity is automatically calculated and activated.

Function keys 

Key

Function

F1  

Reverse at velocity Hand Max

F2 

Reverse at velocity Hand Min

F3

Move forward at velocity Hand Min

F4 

Move forward at velocity Hand Max 

F5 

Start with the values set in the input fields and the values set in the "Dynamics" menu

F6 

Stop

F8

Reset

F9 

Calibrate with the values set in the "Global" menu.  
Notice The signal of a referencing cam must be mapped into the axis data structure (Axis.PlcToNc.ControlDword.5) by the PLC so that the sequence initiated with F9 can react to the cam.

 


"Set" window

This window allows - without PLC - to set certain enables and values. If a PLC is active, the set values are generally overwritten periodically and do not take effect.

Description

  Controller 

BOOL

Without controller enable, the controller is not active and 0 V are output.

Feed+

BOOL

The axis cannot be started in the positive direction without an enable Feed+. If the axis moves in positive direction and the enable Feed+ is removed, then the axis is stopped (the axis does not start again if later the enable is set again).

Feed- 

BOOL

The axis cannot be started in the negative direction without an enable Feed-. If the axis moves in negative direction and the enable Feed- is removed, then the axis is stopped (the axis does not start again if later the enable is set again).

Override

FLOAT    

>0 

%

Velocity override in % in the range [0.0,100.0] related to the target velocity.
