8.4 Safe cams at the modulo limit
A problem frequently encountered with machine tools and production machines
is the reliable detection of the position of a drive. Safe cams (SN) are used for
this purpose, however it should be noted that the signal level of a safe cam
changes at the modulo limit of a rotary axis. The following spindle application
illustrates the problem:
For the rotary axis, the 90° position is to be safely detected. A cam signal is to
be generated for this purpose, that has a high signal level between 89.5° and
90.5° (pulse).
These positions are entered into the machine data
36936 SAFE_CAM_POS_PLUS[0] : 90.5 degrees
36937 SAFE_CAM_POS_M INUS[0] : 89 .5 degrees
36905 SAFE_MODULO _RANGE : 360 degr ees
and are subsequently transferred into the FD/MSD machine data. The levels of
the safe cam signals change as follows:
SN1+
SN1-
89.5° 90° 90.5°
Position detection
to be implemented
Fig. 8-7 Safe cam signal characteristics
Safe cams SN1+ to SN4- are individual position signals with a signal change
from "low" to "high" at the saved position. The required cam signal is generated
by negating signal SN1+ and rounding it with signal SN1-.
