CNC Setup Utility Manual

P/N 70000490C - Setup Utility Concepts

Section 1 - Setup Utility Concepts

Introduction

The Setup Utility is used to configure the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and optimize the system. The machine builder performs most of the initial machine setup at the time of the installation. This manual documents all parameters and the procedure to change them. All changes are made using the Setup Utility. The parameter settings are saved in a configuration file in the CNC’s memory. The name of the configuration file is P6MCFG.CFG.

Effectivity Notation

Some sections of this manual apply only to specific ANILAM CNC product(s). In these sections, icons in the left margin identify the product(s) to which the information applies. Table 1-1 lists the icons for each CNC product and the number of axes supported by each product.

Icon Product Axes Supported

6000M-3X

6300M

6000M-4X

6400M

NOTE: All systems also support one spindle axis.

The main difference between the products is the number of axes supported. Generally, this manual describes the 6000M-3X systems. The 6000M-4X operates exactly as the 6000M-3X system except for features that include the additional axes.

There are many parameters that are defined per axis. In these cases, this manual will document the primary axes (that is, XYZ). The parameters for the auxiliary axis (that is, U) are entered in the same way as those for the primary axes. Some parameters can also be specified for the Spindle axis (that is, S).

Software Version Information

To facilitate verification of software version information, a text file is added to all CNC machine and offline software disks. The file lists the version and the CNC type. The software version contained on the disk is coded into the filename using the following format software version 4.14A is formatted as containing software version

Table 1-1, CNC Effectivity Icon Description

6000M-3X Systems 3

6000M-4X Systems 4

: 0xxxx.txt. For example,

0414A.txt. Therefore, a disk

4.14A contains a file named 0414A.txt.

Navigating Through the Setup Utility

The Setup Utility provides access to parameter settings through menus and submenus. Each menu contains a list and a highlight. Highlight one of the choices listed. Press Each menu provides access to parameter settings or another menu.

ENTER to activate the highlighted choice.

Press required. Press the software. Press Exit (F10) to close a menu and return to the previous menu.

Refer to “Section 6 - Setup Utility Maps “Sections 1 – 4.” Use these maps to locate parameter settings. The maps also serve as a quick reference guide.

NOTE: All dimensions, numbers, assigned values, and defaults

Default Settings

The Setup Utility has default settings pre-loaded in the configuration file. These settings remain active unless you change them. In this manual, default settings are specified as: [Default: Setting].

Keypad Keys

In this manual, the names ARROWS, CLEAR, SHIFT, and SPACE are used for the corresponding keypad keys. See Table 1-2 for their identifying key faces.

Password Restricted Parameters

Some machine parameters are protected by passwords. The CNC provides four access levels of passwords. Operators are assigned limited access, which allows them to set parameters used in normal machine operations. Service and factory technicians require a higher level of access. The Programmable I/O Interface requires a separate password. See Table 1-4 for default machine passwords.

Changing Protected Parameters

To change protected parameters, enter a password when the CNC displays the password prompt.

NOTE: You are only required to type a password once during Setup.

However, when you exit the Setup Utility and re-enter, you will again be prompted for a password.

Saving Changes to Setup Parameters

When you exit the Setup Utility menu after you have changed any parameters, the CNC displays the prompt “Save Changes?”.

Select one of the following:

 Yes (F1) to save the changes.

 No (F2) to cancel the changes.

 Cancel (F9) to return to the Setup Utility Menu.

NOTE: When No (F2) is pressed, all parameters revert to the settings

prior to changes.

All configuration parameters are saved in a configuration file, (P6MCFG.CFG). Every time a parameter is changed, the configuration file is saved; the CNC automatically creates a backup file, (P6MCFG.BAK). The CNC provides utilities to manage the configuration file. Refer to “Section 4 - Configuration Utilities

Setting Parameters in Setup Utility

To set parameters in the Setup Utility, do the following:

1. Highlight the menu in which the parameter appears and press

Change the parameter by following one of the steps mentioned below:

 In some cases a parameter can only have two selections. Pressing

ENTER changes from one value to the other.

 In some cases, a parameter may have more than two selections and

pressing Highlight the desired selection and press

 In other cases, the CNC will highlight an entry field and you will be

allowed to type the value for the parameter. Type the desired value, or setting, and press

ENTER will display a pop-up menu with the list of selections.

” for detailed information.

ENTER.

Using Valid Parameter Ranges

All parameters entered in an entry field must be within the valid range for the parameter. If the value entered is not within the valid range, an error message is displayed. The error message shows the valid range for the parameter. Pressing F10 or the error message is cleared, you can enter another value. The previous value can be restored by pressing

Accessing Setup Utility

To access the Setup Utility menus, do the following:

1. Turn on the CNC.

When the CNC is turned on, the CNC software starts automatically. The CNC displays messages to indicate the status of the startup. When the CNC software has successfully started, the CNC displays ANILAM Company information and the software version number.

2. Press (F10) to continue.

CLEAR can clear the error message. Once

UP ARROW and then ENTER.

3. Use the ARROW keys to highlight Setup

If already in Manual mode, access the Software Options screen by pressing SHIFT + F10. The servos must be off or the CNC will not allow you to exit Manual mode.

In either case, the CNC displays the Setup

Map 1

Units of Measurement

The Units of Measurement parameter specifies the units used to enter dimensional data. If you are using mixed data, input data in one format (inch or mm) first. Change the format (inch or mm) and enter the rest of the data. You can change the units as many times as you need to. By using the proper units you do not need to convert values, but can enter data precisely (that is, no rounding during conversion). See MC_1002: Default units. [Default: Inch]

All dimensional data will be displayed according to the units specified in this parameter.

6400M

6000M-4X

The only exception to this rule is the dimensional parameter corresponding to rotary axes. If the auxiliary axis (that is, U) is configured as a rotary axis, then the unit is always in degrees or degrees per minute (that is, deg/min).

The X-axis current gain control usually has to be increased for revolutions above Nnom. The gain of MC_2021 is

Typical value: 150 (0.1 msec).

X-axis damping compensation at standard speeds. Used for heavy machines.

X-axis torque lowpass filter time constant is used when there is insufficient dumping of the axis.

Standard value is zero.

Realistic input values 3–20 (0.1msec)

Vibrations can occur on critical axes and at the spindle in a frequency range, which cannot be compensated either

X-axis damping values of the torque band-stop filter.

Range (0.00–10000.00)

0.00 (0.1dB) [Default] Damping should not be set unnecessarily high which would restrict the operation of the control loop. Realistic input values are 30–90 (0.1dB).

Y-axis Setup Parameters

The connection to which the motor encoder for the Y-axis is connected.
