3.8 Adjustment of Dog-type Reference Position Return for Relative Position Detection

There are two types for the position detection system, the relative position detection and the absolute position detection. The methods of returning to the reference position include the dog-type reference position return and the dogless-type reference position return. This section describes the method to adjust the dog-type reference position return for the relative position detection. Refer to the section "3.9 Absolute Position Detection System" for the method of adjusting the absolute position detection.

3.8.1 Dog-type Reference Position Return Operation

(1) Executes dog-type reference position

return.

(2) Detects near-point dog while travelling. -> Decelerates to a stop, then resumes moving in G28 (3) Reaches the first grid point leaving

near-point dog.

This grid point where the axis stops with (3) is called the electrical zero point. Normally, this electrical

zero point position is regarded as the reference position.

The first reference position return after turning the power ON is carried out with the dog-type reference

position return. The second and following returns are carried out wi th either the dog-type reference

position return or the high-speed reference position return, depending on the parameter.

High-speed reference position return is a function that directly positions to the reference position saved

in the memory without decelerating at the near-point dog. (Note) If reference position return has not been executed even once afte r turning the power ON, the program

error (P430) will occur when movement commands other than G28 are executed.

3.8 Adjustment of Dog-type Reference Position Return for Relative Position Detection

3.8.2 Dog-type Reference Position Return Adjustment Procedures

Adjust the dog-type reference position return with the following steps.

Refer to the next page and followings for details of parameters an d the calculation method for grid mask

amount.

Procedures

(1) Set the following parameter to "0".

･Reference position shift amount (#2027 G28sft). ･Grid mask amount (#2028 grmask).

(2) Turn the power OFF and ON, and then execute reference position return.

(3) Confirm the grid space and grid amount values on DRIVE MONITOR screen.

(4) Calculate the grid mask amount with the calculation method for grid mask amount.

(5) Set the grid mask amount.

(6) Turn the power OFF and ON, and then execute reference position return.

(7) Confirm the grid space and grid amount values on DRIVE MONITOR screen.

If the grid amount value is approx. half of the grid space, the grid mask amount has been set correctly.

If the value is not approx. half, repeat the procedure from step (1). (8) Set the reference position shift amount (#2027 G28sft). (9) Turn the power OFF and ON, and then execute reference position return. (10) Set the machine coordinate system offset amount (#2037 G53ofs).

The reference position is positioned when the dog-type reference position return is executed. Note that the other method is available for the absolute position detection. The reference position is positioned with the manual reference position return or G28 command in the machining program. Using parameters, the reference position can be shifted from the electrical zero point position.

The position detector has a Z-phase that generates one pulse per rotation. The 0-point position of this Z-phase is the grid point. Thus, there is a grid point per rot ation of the po sition d etector, and the machine has many grid points at a regular pitch. The grid point can be set at intervals of grid space by setting the grid space (#2029 grspc). Thus, multiple grid points can be set per detector rot ation.

The grid amount is the distance from where the near-point detection limit switch leaves the near-point dog to the grid point (electrical zero point) while the dog-type reference position return. The grid amount can be confirmed on DRIVE MONITOR screen. After setting the grid mask, the grid amount shows the dist ance fro m the grid ma sk OFF to the grid point.

G28 rapid traverse rate (#2025 G28rap)

Set the feedrate for dog-type reference position return in manual operation and automatic operation. The rapid traverse rate (#2001 rapid) is applied for the feedrate during high-speed reference positio n return.

G28 approach speed (#2026 G28crp)

Set the approach speed (creep speed) to the reference position after decelerating to a stop by the near-dog detection. Since the creep speed is accelerated and decelerated in steps (no-acceleration/deceleration), the mechanical shock, etc., could occur if the speed is too large. The creep speed should be set between 100 and 300 mm/min., or within 500 mm/min. at the fastest.

Reference position shift amount (#2027 G28sft)

Set the shift amount to shift the reference position from the electrical zero point. The shift direction can be set only in the reference position return direction. If the reference position shift amount is "0", the grid point (electrical zero point) will be the reference position.

Grid mask amount (#2028 grmask)

The first grid point after the dog OFF is regarded as the electrical zero point. If the grid point is at the position where the near-point dog is kicked OFF, the position of electrical zero point may differ because of the delay of the limit switch operation, at the grid point where the dog is kicked OFF or the next grid point. This causes a deviation of reference position by the amou nt of the grid space. The position that the dog is kicked OFF should be at the approximate center of the grid space.

Electrical zero point shits depending on the speed o limit switch delay.

Adjustments can be made by changing the near-point dog or by setting the grid mask amount. Setting the grid mask has the same effect as lengthening the near-point dog. If the grid amount is approximate the grid space or 0, the grid point may be at the position of near-point dog OFF, so set a grid mask. Set the grid mask amount so that the grid amount is one-half of the grid space. The grid mask amount can be set only in the reference position return direction. The grid amount and grid space can be confirmed on the DRIVE MONITOR screen. Refer to "calculation method for the grid mask amount" on the next page for the grid mask amount values.

3.9 Absolute Position Detection System

The absolute position detection function detects the machine movement amount while the power is OFF. This allows automatic operation to be started without carrying out reference position return after the power is turned ON. This function is extremely reliable as it carries out a mutual check of the feedback amount from the detector, and checks the absolute position unique to the machine, etc. To carry out the absolute position detection, the machine zero point must be determined, and the absolute position must be established. Following two methods are available depending on how the ab solute position is established.

(1) Dogless-type absolute position detection

The absolute position is established by setting an arbitrary coordinate at an arbitrary position without using the dog. The absolute position basic point can be determined with the following three methods.

･Machine end stopper method ･Marked point alignment method ･Marked point alignment method II

For the machine end stopper method, the manual initialization and automatic initialization methods ca n be used.

(2) Dog-type absolute position detection

The absolute position is established by executing dog-type reference position ret urn.

The validity and method of the absolute position detection system can be selected with parameters for each axis. Note that the servo drive unit and detector must have the specifications compatible for the absolute position detection.

3.9.1 Dog-type Reference Position Return Operation

Using the mechanical basic position (machine end or marked point) or the electri cal ba sic position (grid point immediately before the machine end or marked point) as the absolute position basic point, the basic machine coordinate system zero point will be set at the position "ZERO" value far from the absolute position basic point in the direction of reversed “ZERO” sign. The reference position is set at the position "G53ofs" value far from the basic machine coordin ate system's zero point.

The zero point initialization should be carried out before the absolute position detection system is st arted up. The coordinate system is established and operation is enabled by zero point initialization. In this section, only the outline is introduced. (Refer to the Instruction Manual for details.) Refer to the chapter "III Parameters" for the parameter details.

Operation when absolute position is not established

If the zero point has not been initialized even once or if the absolute position is lost, the following alarm and non-initialized axis will be output. The coordinate system is unstable in this point, so the limitations given in following table will be applied to each mode. Initialize the zero point and establish the coo rdinate system. Refer to the Instruction Manual for details.

Dogless-type zero point initialization

The zero point is initialized using the ABS POSITION SET screen and JOG or handle. The operation methods differ according to the zero point initialization method. Re fer to the Instructio n Manual for details.

(1) Machine end stopper method

The machine end stopper method includes the manual initialization and automatic initialization methods.

(a) Manual initialization

Dog-type zero point initialization

With this method, the axis is pushed against the machine end stopper using handle or JOG. (b) Automatic initialization

With this method, the axis is pushed against the machine end stopper, and can be used when the

"INIT-SET" mode is selected. This method has the following features compared to the manual

initialization method.

･The axis is pushed with the same conditions (feedrate, distance) each time, so inconsistencies in

the zero point position can be reduced.

･Part of the operations is automated to simplify the zero point initialization.

(2) Marked point alignment method

With this method, the axis is aligned to the machine's basic point (marked point) using handle or

JOG. The first grid point where the axis reaches upon retraction in the opposite direction after

alignment to the marked point is regarded as the basic point.

(3) Marked point alignment method II

With this method, the axis is aligned to the machine's basic point (marked point) using handle or

JOG. The machine’s basic position (marked point) is regarded a s th e basi c poi nt.

By executing dog-type reference position return with the manual reference position return mode or automatic reference position return command (G28), the zero point will be initialized.

0019 Sensor signal illegal ON

The sensor signal was already ON when the tool measurement mode (TLM) signal was validated. The sensor signal turned ON when there was no axis movement after the tool measurement mode (TLM) signal was validated. The sensor signal turned ON at a position within 100μm from the final entry start position.

0020 Ref point retract invalid

Return to the reference position was performed before the coordinates had not been established.

0021 Tool ofs invld after R-pnt

Reference position return was performed during tool retract return, and therefore the tool compensation amount became invalid after reference position return was completed.

0024 R-pnt ret invld at abs pos alm

A zero point return signal was input during an absolute position detection alarm.

0025 R-pnt ret invld at zero pt ini

A zero point return signal was input during zero point initialization of the absolute position detection system.
