Jog
7.2.2 Path-jog mode
This mode may be used to act upon the jog keys of an axis to move both axes of the plane at the
same time for chamfering (straight sections) and rounding (curved sections). The "path jog" mode
acts when the switch is in the continuous or incremental jog positions.
The CNC assumes as "Path jog" the keys associated with the X axis.
Feature setting
This feature must be managed from the PLC.
To activate or cancle the "Path jog" work mode, act upon the logic CNC input "MASTRHND" M5054.
M5054 = 0 "Path JOG" function off.
M5054 = 1 "Path JOG" function on.
To indicate the type of movement, use CNC logic input "HNLINARC" M5053.
M5053 = 0 Linear path.
M5053 = 1 Arc path.
For a linear path, indicate the path angle in the MASLAN variable (value in degrees between the
linear path and the first axis of the plane). For an arc, indicate the arc center coordinates in the
MASCFI, MASCSE variables (for the first and second axes of the main plane).
Variables MASLAN, MASCFI and MASCSE may be read and written from the CNC, DNC and PLC.
Operation of the "path jog" feature
The "path jog" mode is only available with the X axis keys. When pressing one of the keys associated
with the X axis, the CNC behaves as follows:
The rest of the jog keys always work in the same way, whether "path jog" is on or off. The rest of
the keys move only the axis and in the indicated direction.
Switch position Path jog Type of movement
Continuous jog Deactivated Only the axis and in the indicated direction
Activated Both axes in the indicated direction and along the indicated
path
Incremental jog Deactivated Only the axis, the selected distance and in the indicated
direction
Activated Both axes, the selected distance and in the indicated
direction, but along the indicated path
Handwheel It ignores the keys.
