11.5.13 Parameter sets of axis/spindle
Per machine axis, 6 parameter sets are available. They are used as follows
S on an axis:
for accommodation of the own dynamic response to another machine axis,
e.g. when tapping or thread cutting.
S on a spindle:
quick accommodation of the position controller to modified properties of the
machine during operation, e.g. when switching the gearbox.
The following applies to axes:
S For a machine axis that is not involved in tapping or thread cutting, the 1st
set of parameters (index=0) is active in all cases.
All other parameter sets do not need to be taken into account.
S Machine axes involved in tapping or thread cutting: the parameter set is acti-
vated in accordance with the current gear stage.
All parameter sets must be assigned parameters according to the gear
stages of the spindle.
The following applies to spindles:
S With spindles, each gear stage is assigned a parameter set of its own. The
parameter set is selected from the PLC using the interface signal DB31, ...
DBX16.0 – 16.2 (actual gear stage).
All parameters sets must be assigned parameters according to the gear
stages of the spindle.
For example, in HMI Advanced, the active parameter set of a machine axis is
displayed in the control area ”DIAGNOSIS” in the screen form ”Service Axis”.
