3.4 Handwheel travel in JOG
3.4.1 Function
The electronic handwheels (accessories) can be used to simultaneously traverse selected
axes manually. The weighting of the handwheel graduations is dependent on the increment-
size weighting. Where coordinate offset or rotation is selected, manual travel can even be
performed in the transformed workpiece coordinate system.
Select
JOG mode must be active. The user must also set the increment INC1, INC10, etc., which
applies to handwheel travel. As with incremental travel, the required machine function must
be set at the PLC interface accordingly.
Traversing
When the electronic handwheel is turned, the associated axis is traversed either in the
positive or negative direction depending on the direction of rotation.
Note
If the axis is already being moved using the traversing keys, the handwheel cannot be used.
Traversing distance
The traversing distance produced by rotating the handwheel is dependent on the following
factors:
● Number of handwheel pulses received at the interface
● Active increment (machine function INC1, INC10, INC100, ... INCvar)
● Pulse evaluation of the handwheel:
MD11320 $MN_HANDWH_IMP_PER_LATCH (handwheel pulses per detent position)
See Section "Parameter assignment (Page 161)".
● Dis
tance of an increment:
MD31090 $MA_JOG_INCR_WEIGHT (evaluation of an increment for INC/handwheel)
See Section "Parameter assignment (Page 161)".
Handwheel connection
Up to six handwheels can be connected simultaneously. This means that up to six axes can
be traversed by handwheel simultaneously.
