Fig. 12.50 Operation timings of system exam ple
The cutter shaft starts from the moment the feed shaft has completed feeding the
stock "1", and the feed shaft starts from the moment the c utter shaft has
returned to the standby position " 2". Actually, however , there is a delay of start
time Ts (6 to 7ms) from when the QD75 receives a s tart request until it outputs
pulses. The system's tact time can be reduced by the shortening of this delay
with the Pre-reading start function.
In Fig. 12.50, the feed shaft stands by during th e stop time Tw.
Hence, pre-reading of the next data starts durin g the stop time Tw. If Tw is a
certain period of time, the analysis of the next data is completed during that
period, and the system is placed in an exec ution prohibition flag OFF waiting
status. Therefore, replacing the positioning s tart timing at 2 with the execution
prohibition flag OFF allows the time from when th e axis operation request turns
ON until pulse output starts to be reduced to with in 3ms in the sequence
program. (Refer to Fig. 12.48)
