Manual operation and handwheel traversal (H1)
8.1
General characteristics of traversing in JOG
"JOG" mode
Axes/spindles can be traversed manually in "JOG" mode. The active mode is transmitted to the PLC via the IS "Active mode:
JOG" (DB3100.DBX0000.2) and is visible in the display, see also Chapter "Operating modes, program operation (K1)
(Page 77)".
Traversing the axes can be done via the traverse keys of a connected machine control panel (manual travel) or via
connected handwheels (handwheel jogging).
All machine axes can be traversed simultaneously using keys (with an appropriate version of a user-specific machine control
panel) or via handwheel, depending on the number of handwheels connected. If several machine axes are moved
simultaneously, there is no interpolatory relation.
The user has the option of traversing axes in the coordinate systems:
● Machine coordinate system (MCS); machine axes manually traversable
● Workpiece coordinate system (WCS); geometry axes manually traversable
Variants exist for
(the so-called machine functions):
● Continuous traversal
● Incremental traversing (INC, preset number of traversing increments). An increment is evaluated with 0.001 mm if the
basic system setting is metric.
The PLC user program transfers a user-specific machine function queued at the machine control interface to the relevant
PLC/NCK interface. Here the axis-specific NCK/PLC interface should be used for a machine axis/spindle, and the channel-
specific NCK/PLC interface should be used for a geometry axis or valid for all axes/spindles and geometry axes: Signals in
the operating mode range (see also following section).
The axes can also be traversed via the handwheel in MCS or WCS. Incremental traversing (INC...) must be set to evaluate
the handwheel pulses (see Section "Handwheel traversal in JOG (Page 64)").
