General machine parameters. Execution channels.
Configuration of "plane" type axes. Arc programming.
Programming the arc center I K depends on the active work plane.
• With function G18, in circular interpolations, the arc center I is associated with the first
axis of the channel (usually X) and K with the second axis of the channel (usually Z).
• With function G20, in circular interpolations, the arc center I is associated with the
abscissa axis (usually Z) and K with the ordinate axis of the channel (usually X).
Configuration of "plane" type axes. The longitudinal axis.
In this configuration, the second axis of the channel is considered as longitudinal axis. If the
X (first axis of the channel) and Z (second axis of the channel) axes have been defined, the
work plane will be the ZX and Z will be the longitudinal axis. Tool length compensation is
applied on this longitudinal axis when using milling tools. With lathe tools, tool length
compensation is applied on all the axes where a tool offset has been defined.
When using milling tools on a lathe, the longitudinal compensation axis may be changed by
means of the #TOOLAX instruction or the G20 function.
Configuration of "plane" type axes. Axis swapping.
The axes may be swapped, but it must be borne in mind that the previous behavior stays
the same for the first and second axes of the channel resulting from the swap.
CONFIGURING THE SPINDLES OF THE CHANNEL.
CHNSPDL
Number of spindles of the channel.
Possible values: From 0 to 4.
Default value: 1.
Associated variable: (V.)[ch].MPG.CHNSPDL
This parameter sets the number of spindles of the channel, whether they are servo-controlled
or not.
A channel may have initially one, several or no spindles associated with it. In any case, the
number of spindles assigned to the channel cannot be higher than the number of spindles
of the system, defined by parameter NSPDL. The sum of the spindles assigned to the
channels cannot exceed the number of spindles of the system either.
It is possible to change the configuration of the spindles of a channel via part-program,
(defining a new configuration, adding or remove spindles) using the instructions #SET SP,
#FREE SP and #CALL SP.
CHSPDLNAME
List of the spindles of the channel.
This parameter shows the table to define the names of the spindles. Parameter CHNSPDL
sets the number of spindles of the channel.
CHSPDLNAME n
Name of the spindles.
Possible values: Any spindle defined in SPDLNAME.
Default value: Starting from CHSPDLNAME1; S, S1...
Associated variable: (V.)[ch].MPG.SPDLNAMEn
Parameter included in the CHSPDLNAME table.
Any spindle defined by parameter SPDLNAME may belong to the channel.
On CNC power-up and after a reset, the channel assumes as master spindle the first spindle
defined by the machine parameters of the channel (original master). If this spindle is parked
or "handed out" to another channel, the channel assumes as master spindle the next spindle
defined by the machine parameters and so on.
CHSPDLNAME
CHSPDLNAME n Name of the spindles.
