6.5 Spindle-specific MD (spindle data)
The parameters for defining MD 455* and 456* can be taken from the table below.
Parameters for defining MD 455* and 456*
Parameter Symbol Meaning
Position control resolution b Reference unit for traversing path
Pulses per resolution p Number of encoder pulses per
resolution
Pulse multiplication f Pulse multiplication for HMS
measuring circuit module; MD 458*
Measuring gear r1
/
r2 Gear transmission ratio between
spindle and encoder
MD 455* = 4
p
f
r2 Number of measuring system pulses per encoder revolution
including hardware multiplication; multiplied by r2
MD 456* = 360
r1
b
Number of internally computed increments per encoder revolution;
multiplied by r1
If the values thus calculated are greater than the input limits, common factors must be
reduced.
Recommendation: Always reduce when possible, at least for values 100 000
Notes
The position control resolution has been set to 0.5 x 10-3 degrees for the spindle.
If the spindle is allocated to a C axis (MD 461*), the C axis resolution is used for the
calculations (MD 1800*, 364*, 368*).
The default values apply to the use of an SPC servo loop module and an encoder with
1024 pulses per revolution (see Example).
Examples
Encoder mounted directly on the spindle; square pulse encoder and SPC servo loop
module
b = 0.5
10-3 degrees
p = 1024 pulses per revolution
f = 1 no pulse multiplication
r1 = 1 no measuring gear
r2 = 1
If the spindle performs one full revolution, the encoder generates 4 x 1024=4096 pulses.
If these factors are introduced into the formula:
MD 4550 = 4 096
MD 4560 = 720 000
Reduction by the common factor 128 yields:
MD 4550 = 32
MD 4560 = 5625
