Mode groupspecific interface signals
The exchange of mode groupspecific signals to/from the mode group is transferred to DB11
in the user interface. In this way, the mode group can be monitored and controlled from the
PLC or NCK.
The following table lists all mode groupspecific interface signals:
Modegroup signals (PLC => NCK) Modegroup signals (NCK → PLC)
Mode group Reset Mode strobe: JOG, MDA, AUTOMATIC
Mode group Stop axes plus spindles Machine function strobe: REF, REPOS, TEACH IN
Mode group Stop All channels (1 to 10, max.) in Reset state
Mode change Mode group Ready
Operating mode: JOG, MDA, AUTOM. Active mode: JOG, MDA, AUTOMATIC
Single block: Type A, Type B Digitizing
Machine function:
REF, REPOS, TEACH IN,
Active machine function: REF, REPOS, TEACH IN

Change in mode group
A change in the configuration of a mode group with respect to its assigned channels requires
a subsequent POWER ON.
The change is made using machine data:
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP.
Mode group numbers must be assigned contiguously starting with 1.
Machine data
There are no mode groupspecific machine data.
Channel gaps
Channels to which a mode group is assigned with machine data:
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP
are regarded as activated.
Instead of a mode group number, the number "0" can be assigned to channels.
This has the following results:
• The nonactivated channel does not take up memory space in the control.
• Series machines with similar designs can be kept uniform during configuration. Only the
channels that can actually be used by the machine tool are activated (channels with
mode group number greater than 0).
Special case:
Channel 1 must always be available. If:
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP [0] = 0
is specified, the control automatically sets
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP [0] = 1 (mode group 1).
