Parameter description

Parameters are classified by data type as follows :

Data type	Valid data range	Remarks
Bit
Bit axis	0 or 1
Bit spindle
Integer	0 to ± 999999999	In some parameters, signs are
Integer axis
		ignored.
Integer spindle
Real	Standard parameter
Real axis
	See setting table.
Real spindle

NOTE

1For the bit type, bit axis type, and bit spindle type parameters, a single data number is assigned to 8 bits. Each bit has a different meaning.

2The axis type allows data to be set separately for each control axis.

3The spindle type allows data to be set separately for each spindle.

4The valid data range for each data type indicates a general range. The range varies according to the parameters. For the valid data range of a specific parameter, see the explanation of the parameter.

-Notation of bit type, bit axis type, and bit spindle type parameters

#7	#6	#5	#4	#3	#2	#1	#0
0000			EIA	NCR	ISP	CTV	TVC
Data No.		Data (#0 to #7 indicates bit position)

1.2 SETTING EACH AXIS

1.2.1 Axis Name

General

Those axes (including PMC-controlled axes) that are controlled by the CNC must be named.

Axis names can be selected from X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, and W (with parameter No. 1020).

When parallel axis control, synchronization control, or tandem control is used, the same axis name can be assigned to multiple axes. In this case, a suffix like Xm or Xs can be assigned so that each axis can be identified for current position display and alarm indication. Parameter No. 1021 is used to assign a suffix to an axis name.

- Axis name extension function

When the optional axis name extension function is used, axis names I, J, K, and E can also be used.

1.2.2 Increment System

General

The increment system depends on the combination of the least input increment (input increment) and least command increment (output increment). The least input increment is the least increment for the programmed amount of movement. The least command increment is the least increment for the amount of movement of the machine.

The unit of each least increment is mm, inch, or deg.

As indicated in Table 1.2.2(a), five increment systems are supported. For each axis, an increment system can be set using bit 0 (ISA), bit 1 (ISC), bit 2 (ISD), or bit 3 (ISE) of parameter No. 1012. To switch between metric input and inch input for the least input increment, a G code (G20/G21) or bit 0 (INI) of parameter No. 0010 can be used. Whether to use the metric system or inch system for the least command increment is determined for each machine; bit 1 (INM) of parameter No. 1002 is used to select either the metric system or inch system.

A combination of the metric system and inch system is not allowed. Some functions (such as circular interpolation and cutter compensation) cannot be used for axes for which different increment systems are used.

IS-D and IS-E are optional.

NOTE

The unit (mm, inch) in the table is a diameter value for diameter specification (with bit 3 (DIA) of parameter No. 1006 set to 1); for radius specification, the unit is a radius value.

1.2.3 Rotation Axis Specification

General

Whether an axis is to be set as a linear axis or rotation axis can be specified on an axis-by-axis basis with bit 0 (ROT) of parameter No. 1006. For an axis set as a rotation axis by ROT, the inch/metric conversion function is disabled.

Whether a machine coordinate system for stroke checking and automatic reference position return is to be of linear axis type or rotation axis type can be specified on an axis-by-axis basis with bit 1 (ROS) of parameter No. 1006. When rotation axis type is specified, the machine coordinate system is normalized within the angular displacement per rotation specified in parameter No. 1260.

With the rotation axis roll-over function, displayed absolute coordinate values can be rounded to the angular displacement per rotation specified in parameter No. 1260 to prevent the rotation axis coordinate values from overflowing. For details, see the description of the rotation axis roll-over function.

Displayed relative coordinate values can be rounded to the angular displacement per rotation only when the multi-rotary axis control function is used. For details, see the description of the multi-rotary axis control function.

[Valid data range]

See the description below.

For rotation-axis pitch error compensation (with bit 2 (ROP) of

parameter No. 1006 set to 1), set angular displacement per rotation

for each axis. The angular displacement per rotation need not

always be 360 degrees. The period in rotation-axis pitch error

compensation can be set.

The angular displacement per rotation, compensation interval, and

number of compensation points must satisfy the following equation:

Angular displacement per rotation = compensation interval x

number of compensation points

The sum of the compensation values per rotation must always be 0.

1.2.4 Controlled Axes Detach

General

These signals release the specified control axes from control.

When attachments are used (such as a detachable rotary table), these signals are selected according to whether the attachments are mounted. The signals can also be used for switching the C axis and spindle on lathes.

When multiple rotary tables are used in turn, the tables must use motors of the same model. Absolute pulse coders cannot be used.

Signal

Controlled axis detach signals

DTCH1<G64#7>, DTCH2<G68#7> , ...

[Classification]	Input signal
[Function]	These		signals detach the control axes from control.
	These signals are provided for each control axis; the affixed
	number of the signal name shows the control axis number.
DTCHx
	x :	1 ..... The 1st axis is detached.
		2 ..... The 2nd axis is detached.
		3 ..... The 3rd axis is detached.
		:	:
		:	:
[Operation]	When the signals are 1, the control unit operates as follows:
	(1)	Position control is not executed at all. Servo motor excitation is
		cut.
	(2)	Servo alarm on the axis is ignored.
	(3)	Axis interlock signal is assumed to be zero on the detached axis.
	(4)	A command for automatic or manual operation is effective for the
		axis,
		but do not execute the command. The command is accepted but
		the operation is restrained, because the axis interlock is 0. In an
		automatic operation, the execution may stop and hold at the block.
	(5)	Position display also displays the position of the detached axis.
