Detailed descriptions of interface signals
4.8 Axis / spindle-specific signals
Signal state 1 or edge
change 0 → 1
The selected axis can be traversed in both directions in JOG mode using
the plus and minus traversing keys.
Incremental travel
With signal state 1 the axis starts to traverse the set increment. If the signal
changes to the 0 state before the increment is traversed, the traversing
movement is interrupted. With a new signal state 1, the traversing motion is
continued.
Until the increment has been completely traversed, the axis traversing
motion can be stopped and continued a multiple number of times as
described above.
Continuous traversing
If an INC dimension has not been selected, but "continuous", then the axis
traverses as long as the traversing key is kept pressed.
If both traversing signals (plus and minus) are set at the same time there is
no movement or a current movement is aborted.
The effect of the traversing keys can be disabled for a specific axis using the
PLC interface signal "Traversing key disable".
Signal state 0 or edge
change 1 → 0
No traversing
Signal irrelevant for ... AUTOMATIC and MDI modes
Application The machine axis cannot be traversed in JOG mode if it is already being
traversed via the channel-specific PLC interface (as a geometry axis). Alarm
20062 is signaled.
