Parameter 248 SMTC RLY ON/OFF DLY
On mills with a serpentine type 1 tool changer it specifies the time needed (in milliseconds) between
deactivating the DIRECTION relay and the MOTOR ENABLE relay.
On mills with a Disk type 1 tool changer it specifies the time needed ( in milliseconds) between turning
off one relay and turning on the other one when reversing direction of the carousel.
For Vertical Mills without a serpentine type 1 or disk type 1 side- mount tool changer, this parameter
should be set to 0.
Parameter 306 POCKET UP/DOWN DELAY
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 and the Disk type 1 tool changers. It specifies
the time allowed (in milliseconds) for the tool pocket to be raised or lowered. If the pocket does not
move to its commanded position within the time allowed by this parameter and parameter 62, alarm
626 TOOL POCKET SLIDE ERROR is generated. For vertical mills without a serpentine type 1
or Disk type 1 side- mount tool changer, this parameter should be set to 0.
Parameter 307 POCK UN/LOCK DELAY
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 tool changer. It specifies the time needed (in
milliseconds) to lock or unlock a tool pocket. For vertical mills without a serpentine type 1 side-
mount tool changer, this parameter should be set to 0.
Parameter 308 ARM ROTATE TIME
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 and the Disk type 1 tool changers. It specifies
the time allowed (in milliseconds) for the tool arm to rotate to the next position. The positions are:
Clamp, Unclamp and Origin. If the arm does not move to the commanded position within the allowed
time, alarm 622 TOOL ARM FAULT is generated. For vertical mills without a serpentine type 1
side- mount tool changer, this parameter should be set to 0.
Parameter 309 MOTOR COAST TIME
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 and the Disk type 1 tool changers. It specifies the time
allowed (in milliseconds) for the tool arm motor to start moving after being commanded to do so, and to
stop moving after being commanded to do so. In either case, if the arm has not responded after the allowed
time, alarm 627 ATC ARM POSITION TIMEOUT is generated. For vertical mills with out a serpentine type 1
or Disk type 1 side- mount tool changer, this parameter should be set to 0.
Parameter 310 CAM LOCK DELAY
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 tool changers. It specifies the time allowed (in milliseconds)
to lock the cam by pushing the shot in, or to unlock the cam by pulling the shot pin out. If the shot pin has
not moved to its commanded position within the allowed time, alarm 625 INVALID TC START CONDITION
is generated.
Parameter 311 ARM BUMP TIME
This parameter supports the serpentine type 1 and the Disk type 1 tool changers. During tool change
recovery, the arm may be moved a small amount by pressing the ATC FWD or ATC REV key. Each press
of the key will cause the arm motors to run for the amount of time (in milliseconds) specified by this
parameter. For vertical mills without a serpentine type 1 or Disk type 1 side- mount tool changer, this
parameter should be set to 0.
