9.8.4 Selfacting SERUPRO
Selfacting SERUPRO
The channel-specific function "Self-acting SERUPRO" allows a SERUPRO sequence without having to
previously define a search target in a program of the associated SERUPRO channels.
In addition, a special channel, the "serurpoMasterChan", can be defined for each "Self-acting SERUPRO". A
search target can be defined in this channel.
The "Selfacting SERUPRO" function supports the SERUPRO cross-channel block search.
Function
The "SelfActing SERUPRO" operation cannot be used to find a search target. If the search target is not reached,
no channel is stopped. In certain situations, however, the channel is nevertheless stopped temporarily. In this
case, the channel will wait for another channel. Examples are: Wait marks, couplings, or axis replacement.
Wait phase occurs:
During this wait phase, the NC checks whether the channel "seruproMasterChan" has reached a search target. If
no search target is reached, the Wait phase is left.
If the search target is reached,
the SERUPRO operation is also ended in the channel. The "seruproMasterChan" channel must have been
started in normal SERUPRO mode.
No wait phase occurs:
"Self-Acting SERUPRO" is ended by M30 of the part program.
The channel is now in Reset state again.
A SERUPRO approach does not not take place.
Starting a group of channels
If a group of channels is only started with "SelfActing SERUPRO", then all channels are ended with "RESET".
Exceptions:
A channel waits for a partner channel that has not been started at all.
A cross-channel block search can be carried out as follows:
• Via the HMI, the user selects the channels that must work together (channel group).
• The user chooses an especially important channel from the channel group for which he wants to select a
search target explicitly (target channel).
• The HMI will then start SERUPRO on the target channel and "SelfActing SERUPRO" in the remaining
channels of the channel group.
The operation is complete if each channel concerned has deleted "seruproActive".
"Selfacting SERUPRO" accepts no master channel on another NCU.
