7 AUXILIARY AND APPLIED FUNCTIONS

7. AUXILIARY AND APPLIED FUNCTIONS

This section describes the auxiliary and applied functions for positioning control in the

Multiple CPU system.

7.1 M-code Output Function

M-code is a code No. between 0 and 32767 which can be set for every positioning control. During positioning control, these M-codes are read using the Motion SFC program to check the servo program during operation and to command auxiliary operations, such as clamping, drill rotation and tool replacement.

(1) Setting of M-codes

M-code can be set using a peripheral device at the creation and correction of the servo program.

(2)Storage of M-code and read timing

(a)M-codes are stored in the M-code storage register of the axis specified with the positioning start completion and specified points (at the speed switching control or constant-speed control).

During interpolation control, the M-codes are stored in all axes which perform interpolation control.

(b)When the M-code is read at the positioning start completion, use the positioning start complete signal (M2400+20n) as the reading command.
