Chapter 8 Motion Control Function
4. Latch(Touch Probe)
(1) It is a function to record the position of the axis when specific situation (Trigger event) occurs in the axis.
(2) Touch probe 1 and 2 can be selected to use according to trigger input (TriggerInput) settings.
- Trigger input (TriggerInput)=0 : Latch function is performed when touch probe 1 signal is Off->On .
- Trigger input (TriggerInput)=1 : Latch function is performed when touch probe 2 signal is Off->On .
(3) The area in which latch (touch probe) function is operated can be specified.
- When permitted area is specified, operation can be made only within the specified area.
- In case of the infinite running repetition operation (rotary axis), the relationship of latch (touch probe) operating area
according to the beginning and end of the permitted area is as follows.
(4) For the use of latch (touch probe) function, the following objects should be included in PDO setting of slave parameter.
0x60B8:0 Touch probe function
0x60B9:0 Touch probe status
0x60BA:0 Forward direction positon value
of touch probe1
0x60B8:0 Touch probe function
0x60B9:0 Touch probe status
0x60BC:0 Forward direction positon value
of touch probe1
In case there are not above objects, an error (error code: 0x10E0) occurs when latch (touch probe) command is used.
