Overview

Task

This functionality permits the synchronisation of a linear conveyor system and working on workpieces moving on it.

This function is available as of CNC Build V4.20.0.

This function is an additional option requiring a license.

Effectiveness

Machining can take place with Cartesian and kinematic transformations and tool radius compensation.

Parameterisation

The necessary parameters are assigned both in the axis parameters (conv_sync.*) and in the channel parameters (conveyor_sync.*).

The parameter P-CHAN-00650 must be assigned the value “FCT_DLM” in order to use the functionality.

Programming

There are special programming commands such as #SYNC IN and #SYNC OUT for synchronisation and desynchronisation with a linear conveyor.

Mandatory note on references to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
