5.3.3 Feed handwheel mode
Usually, when making a part for the first time, the machine feedrate is controlled by means of the
feedrate override switch.
From this version on, it is also possible to use the machine handwheels to control that feedrate. This
way, the machining feedrate will depend on how fast the handwheel is turned. To do this, proceed
as follows:
• Inhibit all the feedrate override switch positions from the PLC.
• Detect how far the handwheel is turned (reading of pulses received).
• Set the corresponding feedrate override from the PLC depending on the pulses received from
the handwheel.
The following CNC variables return the number of pulses the handwheel has turned.
HANPF shows the number of pulses of the 1st handwheel.
HANPS shows the number of pulses of the 2nd handwheel.
HANPT shows the number of pulses of the 3rd handwheel.
HANPFO shows the number of pulses of the 4th handwheel.
