3.4 INPUT/OUTPUT FORMATS

This section explains the input/output formats for parameters and pitch error compensation data.

3.4.1 Input/Output Formats for Parameter s

Parameters are classified according to data types, as follows.

- Bit type

- Bit axis type

- Bit spindle type

- Integer type

- Integer axis type

- Integer spindle type

- Real type

- Real axis type

- Real spindle type

- Keywords

Bit/bit axis/bit spindle type parameters are represented by 8-digit binary numbers, with each digit occupying a single bit. The valid value ranges of the individual integer/integer axis/integer spindle/real/real axis/real spindle type parameters differ. For details, see the description of each parameter.

The following alphabetic characters are used as keywords. The numeric values following the keywords have the meanings

described below.

Keyword Description of the numeric value following the keyword

N A

S P

Parameter number Controlled axis number of an axis type paramet er (1 or above) Spindle number of a spindle type parameter (1 or above) Value of a parameter that does not depend on inch/metric switching Metric-input-time value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric switching Inch-input-time value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric switching

- 20 -

B-63330EN/03 3.INPUTTING AND OUTPUTTING PARAMETERS USING EXTERNAL INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES

- Inch/metric switching

The data specified for parameters dependent on inch/metric switching, such as length and feedrate parameters, is determined to be in either inch or metric mode depending on the mode assumed at input time for input from the MDI and depending on whether the keyword preceding the data is I or M for input from an external input/output device. These I and M keywords are added to data as appropriate when that data is output from an external input/output device. If the mode assumed at input time or the keyword does not match the mode assumed when the data is to be used, for example, the data input in inch mode is to be used in metric mode, the CNC automatically converts the data before use, eliminating the need to change the data according to the mode change. In addition, in the display of parameter data, data is converted according to the mode assumed at display time, before the data is displayed. When the data is to be output from the external input/output device, it is converted back to the original data according to the keyword or mode.

- Bit type format

N ***** P ******** ;

- Bit axis type format

The 8-digit binary number following P represents the values (0 or 1) of the bits of the parameter, with the first digit corresponding to bit 0 and the eighth digit to bit 7. Leading zeros cannot be omitted. ; is an end of block character (LF for ISO code and CR for EIA code).

Example

N00010P00000001; Parameter number 10 Parameter value Bit 0 is 1 and the others are 0.

N ***** A ** P ******** A ** P ******** . . . . ;

The numeric value following N represents the parameter number. The numeric value following A represents the controlled axis number (1 or above). The 8-digit binary number following P represents the values (0 or 1) of the bits of the parameter for that controlled axis, with the first digit corresponding to bit 0 and the eighth digit to bit 7. Leading zeros cannot be omitted. ; is an end of block character (LF for ISO code and CR for EIA code).

Example

N0005A1P10000001A2P10000001A3P10000001A4P00001001....;

Parameter number 1005 Parameter values

First axis: Bits 0 and 7 are 1 and the others are 0. Second axis: Bits 0 and 7 are 1 and the others are 0. Third axis: Bits 0 and 7 are 1 and the others are 0. Fourth axis: Bits 0 and 3 are 1 and the others are 0.

3.INPUTTING AND OUTPUTTING PARAMETERS USING EXTERNAL INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES B-63330EN/03

- Bit spindle type format

N ***** S * P ******** S * P ******** . . . . ;

The numeric value following N represents the parameter number. The numeric value following S represents the spindle number (1 or above). The 8-digit binary number following P represents the values (0 or 1) of the bits of the parameter for that spindle, with the first digit corresponding to bit 0 and the eighth digit to bit 7. Leading zeros cannot be omitted. ; is an end of block character (LF for ISO code and CR for EIA code).

Example

N05603S1P00001000S2P00001000S3P00000000S4P000000000;

Parameter number 5603 Parameter values

First spindle: Bit 3 is 1 and the others are 0. Second spindle: Bit 3 is 1 and the others are 0. Third spindle: All bits are 0. Fourth spindle: All bits are 0.
