Notations
The following notations and abbreviations are used in this Documentation:
PLC interface signals -> IS Signal name (signal data)

Example:
IS Feed override (VB380x 0000)
The variable byte is in the range at axis, x stands for the axis:
0 axis 1
1 aixs 2
n axis n+1.
Machine data -> MD MD_NR: MD_NAME
Setting data -> SD SD_NR: SD_NAME
The headlines of the individual chapters/sections are added by a code designation in brakkets (e.g. Chapter 1: EMERGENCY STOP (N2)). This code designation is used in references to individual Chapters/Sections.
Explanation of the code designations

In the chapters/sections of each Description of Functions, the data and/or signals are explained which are important for the function discussed. Within these explanations provided in the
form of tables, some terms and abbreviations are used, which are explained here.
Default value:
This is the default value of the machine/setting data when loading the standard machine data.
Range of values (minimum/maximum values):
specifies the input limits. If no range of values is specified, the data type defines the input limits, and the field is marked with ***.

Preface
Activation of changes:
Changes in machine data, setting data or the like come not immediately into effect in the control system. The conditions for activation are therefore always specified. The possibilities used
are listed below by their priority:
POWER ON (po)

NEW_CONF (cf)
RESET (re)
immediately (im)
Turning off/turning on the power supply

or softkey StartUp/Normal on HMI
RESET key on the control unit
RESET key on the control unit
after input of a value
Protection level:
There are the protection levels 0 to 7 whereby the interlock for protection levels 1 to 3 can be
canceled by setting a password and the interlock for protection levels 4 to 7 via the IS Protection level (e.g.: keyswitch position). Protection level 0 cannot be accessed (see Chapter Various Interface Signals).
The operator has only access to information that corresponds to this particular protection level
and the lower protection levels. The machine data are assigned different protection levels by
default and are marked by a Write/Read value (e.g. 4/7).
Note: In this document, the machine and setting data of protection levels 2 to 7 are documented. Notes on machine data of protection level 1 are only provided in special cases (expert
mode).
Unit:
The unit refers to the default setting (see Section Velocities, Setpoint/Actual Value System,
Closed-Loop Control).
If the MD has no physical unit as the basis, the field is marked with -.
Data type:
The following data types are used in the control system:
vi
DOUBLE
Floating point value (64-bit value )
Input limits from +/-4.19*10 - 307 to +/-1.67*10308
DWORD
Integer values (32-bit value)
Input limits from -2 147 483 648 to +2 147 483 648 (decimal),
as a hexadecimal value: 0000 to FFFF
BYTE

EMERGENCY STOP (N2)
1.1
Brief description
Important
We would like to draw the machine manufacturers attention to his duty to observe the relevant international and national standards (see notes on standards further below in the text).
The SINUMERIK 802D supports the machine manufacturer in implementing the EMERGENCY STOP function according to the specifications in this Description of Functions. The
EMERGENCY STOP function (tripping, sequence and acknowledgement) is the sole and only
responsibility of the machine manufacturer.
Note
The following standards are relevant for the EMERGENCY STOP function:

EN 292 Part 1
EN 292 Part 2
EN 418
EN 60204 Part 1:1992 Section 10.7
The VDE 0113 Part 1 is only valid for a transition period and is replaced by EN 60204.
EMERGENCY STOP in the control system

The following arrangements are provided in the control system to support the machine manufacturer in implementing the EMERGENCY STOP function:
Initiation of the EMERGENCY STOP sequence in the NC via the PLC input.
The EMERGENCY STOP sequence in the NC will decelerate all axes and spindles in the
NC as fast as possible.
The EMERGENCY STOP status cannot be canceled by unlocking the EMERGENCY

STOP button. Resetting the control device will not result in a restart.
After the EMERGENCY STOP status has been canceled, it is not necessary to reference
axes or synchronize spindles (the positions are corrected).
EMERGENCY STOP button

A mushroom button (with one normally closed and normally open contact each), further referred to as EMERGENCY STOP button, is installed in the Siemens machine control panel
(MCP) for the 802D.

EMERGENCY STOP sequence
EMERGENCY STOP sequence
Prerequisite
The actuation of the EMERGENCY STOP button or a signal directly derived from it must be
carried to the control (PLC) as a PLC input. In the PLC user program, this PLC input must be
passed on to the NC to the IS EMERGENCY STOP (V2600 0000.1).
Resetting of the EMERGENCY STOP button or a signal directly derived from it must be carried to the control (PLC) as a PLC input. In the PLC user program, this PLC input must be
passed on the NC to the IS Acknowledge EMERGENCY STOP (V2600 0000.2).
Sequence in the NC
In the control system, the predetermined sequence (as per EN 418) of internal functions for
the EMERGENCY STOP status is as follows:
1. The part program execution is interrupted. All axes and spindles are stopped along defined
braking ramps according to MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME.
2. The IS 802-READY (V3100 0000.3) is reset.
3. The IS EMERGENCY STOP active (V2700 0000.1) is set.
4. Alarm 3000 is set.
5. The servo enable is disabled after an axis/spindle-specific time that can be set in MD
36620: SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME (servo enable cutout delay) has been elapsed.
In this context, make sure that 36620: SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME must be specified
at least as large as MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME.
Sequence on the machine

The EMERGENCY STOP sequence on the machine is exclusively defined by the machine
manufacturer. The following must be observed in conjunction with the sequence in the NC:
The sequence in the NC is started using the IS EMERGENCY STOP (V2600 0000.1).
After the axes and spindles have been stopped, the power supply must be interrupted acc.
to EN418.
The sequence in the NC has no influence on the PLC I/Os (digital outputs). If you wish
individual outputs to have a certain status in case of EMERGENCY STOP, the machine
manufacturer must implement the appropriate functions in the PLC program.
Important
To interrupt the power supply, is the sole and only responsibility of the machine manufacturer.
If you wish the sequence in the NC in case of EMERGENCY STOP not to be carried out as
defined, the IS EMERGENCY STOP (V2600 0000.1) may not be set until an EMERGENCY
STOP status defined by the machine manufacturer in the PLC user program is reached. Until
the IS EMERGENCY STOP is not yet set and no other alarm is pending, all IS are active in
the NC. Thus, any manufacturer-specific EMERGENCY STOP status is possible.

if the IS Servo enable is canceled from the PLC.
Once the actual speed reaches the zero speed range (MD 36060: STANDSTILL_VELO_ TOL),
Servo enable is disabled for the drive.
The time should be set as large as the axis / spindle needs to come to a standstill from maximum
traversing velocity or speed.
If the axis / spindle is already at a standstill, Servo enable is disabled for the drive immediately.
The speed control of the drive should be maintained for this time to make sure that the axis/spindle
can come to a standstill from maximum traversing velocity or speed. For this time, the cancellation
of Servo enable should be delayed for an axis/spindle moving.
CAUTION: If the servo enable cutout delay is set too small, the Servo enable is already canceled
even if the axis/spindle is still traversing. In this case, it is suddenly stopped with setpoint 0.
The time set in this MD should therefore be greater than the time of the braking ramp in case of
error statuses (MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME).

2.2.1
Contour monitoring
Function
The principle of functioning of the contour monitoring is based on the permanent comparison
of measured actual position value and the actual position value calculated from the NC position setpoint. To calculate the following error in advance, a model is used which simulates the
dynamic properties of the position control including feedforward control.
To make sure that the monitoring system does not respond already in the case of slight
speed variations (caused by load changes), a tolerance band is permitted for the maximum
contour deviation.
If the permissible actual value deviation entered in MD 36400: CONTOUR_TOL (contour monitoring tolerance band) is exceeded, an alarm is output, and the axes are stopped.
Activation
The contour monitoring is active for axes and a position - controlled spindle.
Effect
If the contour error is too large, the following will occur:
Alarm 25050 Contour monitoring is output.
The axis/spindle concerned is stopped with rapid stop (with open position feedback loop)
via a speed setpoint ramp.
The duration of the braking ramp is defined in the MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of braking ramp in case of error statuses).
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these are stopped by rapid stop
with reduction of the following error (position setpoint = constant).
Increase tolerance band of monitoring function in MD 36400.
The real servo gain factor must correspond to the desired servo gain factor set in
MD 32200: POSCTRL_GAIN (servo gain factor).
With an analog spindle, check
MD 32260: RATED_VELO (rated motor speed) and
MD 32250: RATED_OUTVAL (rated output voltage).
Check optimization of speed controller.
Check smooth running of axes.
Check machine data for traversing movements (feedoverride, acceleration, max. velocities, ... )

2.2.2
Function
To make sure that an axis is positioned within a specified time, the time configured in MD
36020: POSITIONING_TIME (exact stop fine time delay) is started after a motion block has
been ended (set point has reached the target), and after this time has elapsed, it is checked
whether the axis has reached its set position within the tolerance of MD 36010: STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine).

Interrelation between positioning, zero speed and clamping monitoring
Enabling
The positioning monitoring is always enabled after a setpoint - dependent completion of motion blocks (setpoint has reached the target).
The positioning monitoring is active for axes and a position - controlled spindle.
Disabling
The positioning monitoring is disabled after the specified Exact stop limit fine has been reached or after output of a new setpoint position (e.g. when positioning to Exact stop coarse
followed by a block change).

2.2
Effect
If the limit value for Exact stop fine has not yet been reached after the positioning monitoring time has elapsed, the following action is carried out:
Alarm 25080 Positioning monitoring is output.
The axis/spindle concverned is stopped with rapid stop (with open position control loop)
via a speed setpoint ramp.
The duration of the braking ramp is defined in MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of braking ramp in case of error statuses).
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will be stopped by rapid
stop with reduction of the following error (specification of partial position setpoint = 0).
Error cause/error elimination

Too small position controller gain - - > change machine data for position control gain

MD 36010: STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine),
MD 36020: POSITIONING_TIME (exact stop fine delay time),
MD 32200: POSCTRL_GAIN (servo gain factor)
General rule
Large positioning window - - > a relative short max. positioning monitoring time can be
selected
Small positioning window - - > a relatively long positioning monitoring time must be selected
Small position control gain - - > a relatively long max. positioning monitoring time must
be selected
High position control gain - - > a relatively short max. positioning monitoring time can be
selected
Note
The size of the positioning window will influence the block change time. The smaller these tolerances are chosen, the longer will last the positioning process and the longer it will last until the next
command can be executed.

2.2.3
Zero speed monitoring
Function
After a motion block has been completed (position setpoint has reached target), it is monitored whether the axis is no more away from its setpoint position than specified in MD 36060:
STANDSTILL_POS_TOL (standstill tolerance) after the delay time that can be parameterized
in MD 36040: STANDSTILL_DELAY_TIME (standstill monitoring delay time) has elapsed.
Otherwise, an alarm is generated.
See Fig. 2-1
Activation
The zero speed monitoring is always active after the Standstill monitoring delay time has
elapsed, provided that no new traversing command is active.
The standstill monitoring is active for axes and a position - controlled spindle.
Effect
The response of the monitoring function has the following effect:
Alarm 25040 Standstill monitoring is output.
The axis/spindle concerned is stopped with rapid stop (with open position control loop) via
a speed setpoint ramp. The duration of the braking ramp is defined in MD
36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of braking ramp in case of error statuses).
If the axis interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will be stopped by rapid stop with
reduction of the following error (specification of partial position setpoint = 0).

Clamping monitoring
Function
If you wish the axis to be clamped at the end of the positioning process, the clamping monitoring can be activated using the IS Clamping monitoring running (V380x 0002.3).

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
2-27

2.2
This can be necessary because it is possible that during the clamping process the axis has
been pushed off its setpoint position farther than permitted by the standstill tolerance. The
amount by which the setpoint position can be left is specified in MD 36050:
CLAMP_POS_TOL (clamping position tolerance at interface signal Clamping running).
See Fig. 2-1
Activation
The clamping position monitoring is activated by the interface signal Clamping process running. It replaces the standstill monitoring during the clamping process.
The clamping position monitoring is active for axes and a position - controlled spindle.
Effect
If during the clamping process the axis is pushed off its position farther than permitted by the
clamping position tolerance, the following will occur:
2.2.5
Alarm 26000 Clamping position monitoring is output.
a speed setpoint ramp. The duration of the braking ramp is defined in
MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of braking ramp in case of error
statuses).
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will also be stopped by rapid stop with reduction of the following error (specification of partial position setpoint = 0).
Function
The speed setpoint monitoring checks whether the setpoint specification does not exceed the
maximum permissible speed for the drives specified in MD 36210: CTRLOUT_LIMIT (maximum speed setpoint). If necessary, it is limited to this value, and the axis/spindle is stopped
and an alarm is output.
For the axes, the maximum speed setpoint (as a percentage) is above the speed at which the
velocity defined in MD 3200: MAX_AX_VELO is reached (100%). This also defines the control margin.
With an analog spindle, the maximum output speed cannot be greater than the speed reached at a maximum setpoint output voltage of 10V (100%).
The speed setpoint consists of the speed setpoint of the position controller and the feedforward control value (if feedforward control is active).

a speed setpoint ramp.
The duration of the braking ramp is defined in MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of braking ramp in case of error statuses).
If the axis interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will be stopped by rapid stop with
reduction of the following error (specification of partial position setpoint = 0).
Note: At the access level Expert mode (protection level 1), a delay time can be set in
MD 36220: CTRLOUT_LIMIT_TIME, after which the alarm is generated, stopping the axes.
This time is zero by default.
The beginning limitation of the speed setpoint makes this servo loop non - linear. Generally,
this results in path deviations when an axis dwells in a speed setpoint limitation. Therefore, a
control margin must be set (see Section 3.3.4 Speed setpoint output).
Error causes
A measuring error circuit or a drive error exists in the measuring circuit.
Too high setpoints specified (accelerations, velocities, reduction factors)
Obstacle in working area (e.g. coming into contact with the work table)
Tachogenerator adjustment with analog spindle has not been carried out correctly or a
measuring circuit or drive error exists.

Function
The actual velocity is monitored for exceeding of a permissible limit value entered in MD
36200: AX_VELO_LIMIT (threshold value for velocity monitoring).
Activation
The actual velocity monitoring is always active if the active measuring circuit that has been
activated via the iS Position measuring system 1 (V380x 0001.5) provides actual values, i.e.
is still below the imit frequency.
The actual velocity momnitoring is active for axes and for a spindle.
Effect
The following will occur if the Threshold value for velocity monitoring is exceeded:

2.3.1
Encoder limit frequency monitoring
Function
If the limit frequency of a measuring system, which is entered in MD 36300: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT(encoder limit frequency), is exceeded, the position synchronization (reference point) between machine and control system will be lost. A correct position control is no longer possible
in this cases. This status is signaled to the PLC.
Activation
The encoder limit frequency monitoring is always active if the encoder is turned on and is
active for axes and for a spindle.
Effect
The following will occur if the limit frequency of an encoder is exceeded:
The IS Encoder limit frequency exceeded 1 (V390x 0000.2) is set.
Spindle continues running withspeed control

If the spindle speed is reduced such that the encoder frequency falls below the value specified in MD 36302: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW (% value of MD 36300: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT), the spindle will automatically resynchronize with the reference system of the encoder.
If with an active measuring system of a position - controlled axis/spindle, the limit frequency is exceeded, alarm 21610 Frequency exceeded is output.
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will also be stopped by rapid stop with reduction of the following error (specification of partial setpoint = 0).
Error elimination
After the axes have come to a standstill, the position control will resume automatically.
Note
The axis concerned must be rereferenced.

2.3.2
Zero mark monitoring
Function
The zero mark monitoring checks whether pulses have been lost between two zero mark
passages of the position actual - value encoder. The number of detected zero mark errors at
which the monitoring function is to respond is entered in MD 36310: ENC_ZERO_MONITORING (zero mark monitoring).
Activation
The monitoring is activated using MD 36310: ENC_ZERO_MONITORING.
The counting of the zero mark errors starts from zero after the encoder has been turned on.
Effect
If the number of the zero mark errors entered in MD 36310: ENC_ZERO_MONITORING is
reached for a measuring system, alarm 25020 Zero mark monitoring is output.
The axis/spindle concerned is stopped with rapid stop (with open position control loop) via a
speed setpoint ramp.
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will also be stopped by rapid
stop with reduction of the following error (specification of partial setpoint = 0).
Error causes
MD 36300: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT (encoder limit frequency) set too high.
Encoder cable damaged.
Encoder or encoder electronics defective.
Note
In case of an error, the IS Referenced/synchronized 2 (V390x 0000.4) is canceled, i.e. the axis
must be rereferenced.

Overview of limit stops of a linear axis
Hardware limit switches

Function
For each axis, one hardware limit switch each is provided for each traversing direction to prevent the slide moving off the slide bed.
If the hardware limit switch is overtraveled, the PLC will signal it to the NC via the IS Hardware limit switch plus/minus (V380x 1000.1 or .0), and the movement of all axes is stopped.
The kind of braking can be defined via the MD 36600: BRAKE_MODE_CHOICE (braking behavior with hardware limit switch).
Activation
The hardware limit switch monitoring is active in all operating modes after the control system
has powered up.
Effect
When a hardware limit switch is overtraveled, depending on the direction, alarm 21614
Hardware limit switch + or - is output.
Depending on MD 36600: BRAKE_MODE_CHOICE (braking behavior with hardware limit

switch), the axis is stopped.
If the axis/spindle interpolates with other axes/spindles, these will also be stopped, depending on MD 36600: BRAKE_MODE_CHOICE (braking behavior with hardware limit
switch).
The direction keys in the direction of approach are disabled.

Software limit switches

Function
The software limit switches serve as limitations of the maximum traversing range of each individual axis.
2 software limit switch pairs are provided per axis, which are defined via the following machine data in the machine axis system:
MD 36100: POS_LIMIT_MINUS (1st software limit switch minus)
MD 36110: POS_LIMIT_PLUS (1st software limit switch plus)
MD 36120: POS_LIMIT_MINUS2 (2nd software limit switch minus)
MD 36130: POS_LIMIT_PLUS2 (2nd software limit switch plus)
Activation
The software limit switch monitoring is active in all operating modes after reference point
approach.
The position of the software limit switches can be approached.
The 2nd software limit switch can be activated from the PLC via the interface signal 2nd
software limit switch plus/minus (V380x 1000.3 or .2). The change will come into effect
immediately. The 1st software limit switch plus/minus is thus inactive.
The SW limit switch monitoring is not active with endlessly rotating rotary axes, i.e. if
MD 30310: ROT_IS_MODULO = 1. (modulo conversion for rotary axis and spindle)
Effect/reactions
Depending on the operating mode, there are different reactions if it was tried to overtravel a
software limit switch:
AUTO, MDA:
-
The block that would violate the software limit switches will not start. The previous
block is completed correctly.
The program execution is canceled.
Alarm 10720 Software limit switch + or - is output.

Switching over the software limit switch:

If the current position after switching over lies after the new software limit switch, the
axis is decelerated at the maximum permissible acceleration. If the axis interpolates
with other axes, these will also be decelerated. A contour violation may result.
Remedy

Retract in the opposite direction (in JOG mode).
Correct the program.
Working area limitation
Function
Working area limitations describe the range in which a machining can be carried out. In addition to the limit switches, the working area limitation is another means for the user to limit the
traversing range of the axes.
References:
Operation and Programming.
It is monitored whether the tool tip P is within the protected working area. The value entered
in the working area limitation is the last permissible position for the axis.
Using MD 21020: WORKAREA_WITH_TOOL_RADIUS (taking into account the tool radius in
the case of working area limitation), it can be determined whether the tool radius is taken into
account in the monitoring.
One pair of values (minus/plus) can be specified per axis to describe the protected working
area.
Specifying the working area limitation

The working area limitation can be specified and modified in two different ways:
via the operator panel in the Parameters operating area using the following setting data:
SD 43430: WORKAREA_LIMIT_MINUS (working area limitation minus)
SD 43420: WORKAREA_LIMIT_PLUS (working area limitation plus)
Any changes in Automatic mode are only possible in the Reset status and will then come
into effect immediately.
In Jog mode, changes are always possible, but come only into effect when a new movement starts.
in the program with G25/G26. Any changes come into effect immediately.
A programmed limitation has first priority; it will overwrite the value entered in the setting
data and is kept after RESET and program end.

Activation
Using SD 43410: WORKAREA_MINUS_ENABLE, SD 43400: WORKAREA_PLUS_ENABLE (working area limitation in the negative or positive direction active),
it is possible to activate the working area limitation; it comes into effect after reference
point approach.
During the program execution, the working area limitation can be activated using the modal G codes WALIMON and deactivated using WALIMOF.
The working area limitation is not active with endlessly rotating rotary axes, i.e. if MD
30310: ROT_IS_MODULO = 1 (modulo conversion for rotary axis and spindle).
Effect/reaction
Depending on the operating mode, there are different reactions if it has been tried to overtreavel the work area limitation:
AUTO, MDA:
-
The block that violates the working area limitation is not started. The previous block is
still completed correctly.
The program execution is aborted.
Alarm 10730 Working area limitation + or - is set.
JOG:

For spindle: With spindles without active position control, the speed - controlled spindle may go
on rotating if the encoder frequency monitoring responds (i.e. without valid actual value information); rapid stop is not carried out. If the encoder is turned on, the speed setpoint monitoring is
active, but the actual - velocity monitoring (MD 36200) is active. The limiting of the spindle speed
has only a limiting effect (no alarm), the setpoint is limited to the max. chuck speed (MD 35100)
and displayed in the IS Programmed speed too high.
The current speed is no longer displayed, since no valid actual value exists at this moment.
With interpolating axes, it is not guaranteed that the contour is not violated during the brake
phase.
CAUTION: If you have set the time of the brake ramp in errored states too much, servo enable
will be canceled even if the axis/spindle is still traversing/rotating. It will then suddenly be stopped with speed setpoint 0. Thats why the time in MD 36610:

3.1.1
Velocities, traversing ranges, accuracies

Velocities
The maximum path, axis velocity and spindle speed depend on the machine design, the dimensioning of the drive dynamics and the limit frequency of the actual-value acquisition (encoder limit frequency).
The maximum axis velocity is defined in MD 32000: MAX_AX_VELO (maximum axis velocity).
The maximum permissible spindle speed is preset using MD 35100: SPIND_VELO_LIMIT
(maximum spindle speed).
References:
Chapter Spindle
In addition to the limitation by MD 32000: MAX_AX_VELO, the control system limits the maximum path velocity acc. to the formula below, depending on the particular situation:
Vmax
progr. path length in a part programblock [mm or degrees]

* 0.9
IPOcycle [s]
In case the feed is higher (resulting from a feed programmed higher or due to feed override), it
is limited to Vmax.
With programs generated using CAD programs that contain extremely short blocks, this may
result in speed/velocity reduction over several blocks.

Example:
IPO cycle = 12 ms
N10 G0 X0 Y0; [mm]
N20 G0 X100 Y100; [mm]
programmed path length in the block = 141.42 mm
% Vmax = (141.42 mm / 12 ms) * 0.9 = 10606.6 mm/s = 636.39 m/min
The minimum path or axis velocitiy is subject to the following limitation:

Vmin
10 3
Computational resolution[mm orIncr.
] * IPOcycle [s]
degrees
The computational resolution is defined in MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM (computational

resolution for linear positions) or MD 10210: INT_INCR_PER_DEG (computational resolution
for angle positions). It is described on the following pages in detail.
If Vmin is undershot, no traversing movement is carried out.
Example:
MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM = 1000 [Incr. / mm] ;

IPO clock = 12 ms;
Vmin = 10 - 3 / (1000 Incr/mm x 12 ms) = 0.005 mm / min;
The range of feed values is dependent on the computational resolution selected. If the default
setting has been chosen for MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM (computational resolution for
linear positions) (1,000 incr./mm) or MD 10210: INT_INCR_PER_DEG (computational resolution for angle positions) (1,000 incr./degree), the range of values can be programmed with the
resolution specified:
Range of values for feedrate F:
Metric system:
0.001 F 999,999.999 [mm/min, mm/rev., degrees/min, degrees/rev.]
Range of values for spindle speed S:
0.001 S 999,999.999 [rpm]
If the computational resolution is increased/reduced by factor 10, the ranges of values will
change accordingly.
3.1.2
Traversing ranges
The ranges of values of the traversing ranges is dependent on the computational resolution
selected.
If the default setting has been selected for MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM (computational
resolution for linear positions) (1,000 incr./mm) and/or MD 10210: INT_INCR_PER_DEG
(computational resolution for angle positions) (1,000 incr./degree), the range of values can be
programmed with the resolution specified:
3-50

3.1.3
Input/display resolution, computational resolution

The resolutions of linear and angle positions, velocities, accelerations and jerk differ by:
the input resolution, i.e. the input of data from the operator panel or via the part programs.
the display resolution, i.e. the display of data on the operator panel.
the computational resolution, i.e. the internal of the data input via the operator panel or the
part program.
The input and display resolution is determined by the operator panel used (display of machine
data), whereas the display resolution for position values/spindle speed can be modified using
MD 203: DISPLAY_RESOLUTION (display resolution, metric linear position, angle position
general) and/or MD 205: DISPLAY_RESOLUTION_SPINDLE (display resolution for spindle
speed).
MD 204: DISPLAY_RESOLUTION_INCH can be used to configure the display resolution for
linear position values with inch setting.
For programming in part programs, the input resolutions indicated in the Programming Instructions will apply.
The desired computational resolution is defined using the MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM
(computational resolution for linear positions) and MD 10210: INT_INCR_PER_ DEG (computational resolution for angle positions). It is independent of the input/display resolution, but
should have at least the same resolution.
The computational resolution defines the maximum number of the active places after the decimal point for position values, speed values etc. in the part program, as well as the number of
places after the decimal point for tool compensations, zero offsets etc. (and with it the maximum accuracy that can be obtained).

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
3-51

3.1
The input accuracy of angle and linear positions is limited to the computational resolution by
rounding the product of the programmed value with the computational resolution to an integer
number.
In order to ensure that the executed rounding can easily be traced, it is recommended to use
numbers raised to the power of 10 for the computational resolution.
Example of rounding:
Computational resolution : 1,000 increments / mm
Programmed path : 97.3786 mm
active value = 97.379 mm

Metric/inch scaling system

The control system can use either the inch or the metric scaling system. The default setting is
determined using MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC (default scaling system: metric). Depending on this setting, all geometric values are interpreted either as metric or inch
dimensions. All manual settings, zero offset settings, tool compensation values, etc. with the
related displays also refer to this initial setting (e.g. handwheel, INC, conventional feed).
The setting MD 10260: CONVERT_SCALING_SYSTEM=1 makes the switching of the scaling
system considerably easier:
3.2.1
Availability of an MMC softkey for scaling system switchover.
Automatic conversion of NC active data in the case of scaling system switchover;
Data back-up with identification of the scaling system currently used;
MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC is activated by Reset.
Conversion of the scaling system using the part program

For certain workpiece-related data, it is possible to switchover between the scaling systems
using G70/G71 and G700/G710. The data that can be influenced by G70/G71/G700/G710 are
described in the Programming Instructions.
When the scaling system is switched over using the appropriate MMC softkey, these reset
positions are defaulted with G700 or G710, depending on the new scaling system.
Application:
This function can be used, e.g. with a metric scaling system to machine an inch thread in a
metric part program. Tool offsets, zero offsets and feeds remain metric.
Machine data are output on the screen in the scaling system selected using the MD 10240:
SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC (metric scaling system).
Any displays in the machine coordinate system, as well as displays of the tool data and zero
offsets are carried out in the default setting, displays in the workpiece coordinate system with
the current setting.
Note:
If programs, incl. data records (ZO, tool offset) are read in from an external source, which
have been programmed in a scaling system other from the inital system, first the inital setting
must be changed using MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC.
For interface signals that contain dimension-dependent information, such as feed for path and
positioning axes, the data exchange with the PLC is always carried out using the selected
default system.
G700/G710 is to be considered an extension of G70/G71 by the following functionality:
1. The feed is interpreted in the programmed scaling system:
G700: Length information [inch]; feeds [inch/min]
G710: Length information [mm]; feeds [mm/min]

The programmed feedrate acts modally, i.e. remains active beyond any following
G70/G71/G700/G710. If you wish the feedrate to become active in the new
G70/G71/G700/G710 context, it must be reprogrammed.

2. Reading and writing of length-related system variables and machine data in the part program is carried out in the scaling system programmed.
These properties can be used to realize part programs that are independent of the current
basic setting of the scaling system.

3.2.2
Switching over the scaling system manually
General
The scaling system switchover for the whole machine is carried out using an MMC softkey
Switch to mm > inch and Switch to inch > mm in the POSITION area.
Access to this softkey is only granted in JOG or MDA mode. The switchover will only be accepted if:
The channel is in the Reset status.
The axes are not traversed.
For the duration of the switchover operation, actions, such as part program start or mode
change, are disabled.
If no switchover can be carried out, an appropriate message will appear on the user interface.
This definition ensures that the program currently executed always finds a consistent data set
with reference to the scaling system.
The actual process of switching over to the scaling system is internally carried out by writing
of all required machine data and then activating them by RESET.
MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC and the corresponding settings
G70/G71/G700/G710 in MD 20150: GCODE_RESET_VALUES are switched over for all
channels configured automatically. Note: MD 20150 can only be read/written in expert mode
(protection level 1).
During this process, the value specified in MD 20150: GCODE_RESET_VALUES[12]
changes between G700 and G710, i.e. the default position of the G commands changes between G700 and G710.
This process is carried out independently of the protection level currently set.
System data
When switching over the scaling system, from the view of the operator, all length-related data
are automatically converted to the new scaling system. These data include:
Positions
Feedrates
Accelerations
Jerk
Tool offsets
Compensation values
Machine data
Jog and handwheel weightings
After switchover, all a/m data will be available in the physical quantities according to Section
3.1.4.
Data for which no unambiguous physical quantities are defined, such as:
R parameters
will not be included in the automatic conversion. This is the users task to take into account
the scaling system currently active (MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC).

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
3-55

3.2
The scaling system setting currently active can be read from the PLC interface using the signal Inch scaling system V27000001.7.
Reference point
The reference point remains stored. Re-referencing is not necessary.
Input and computational resolution

The input/computational resolution is set in the control system using
MD 10200: INT_INCR_PER_MM. The default setting for a metric system is 1,000 (0.001 mm).
For an inch system, the setting must be 0.0001.
Example:
1 inch = 25.4 mm % 0.0001 inch = 0.00254 mm = 2.54 mm
To be able to program and display the last 40 nm, a value of 100,000 must be entered in MD
10200.
Only this setting, which must be the same for both scaling systems, scaling system switchover
actions can be carried out without substantial losses in accuracy. If you have done this setting
once, the MD 10200 need not to be changed with each scaling system switchover.
Jog and incremental weighting

The MD 31090: JOG_INCR_WEIGHT consists of two values containing the axis-specific increment weightings for each of the two unit systems. The control system automatically selects
the matching value, depending on the current setting in MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC.
Note: The MD 31090: JOG_INCR_WEIGHT can only be read/writtten in the Expert mode
access level (protection level 1).
Metric: MD 31090: JOG_INCR_WEIGHT[0;AX1]=0.001 mm
Inch: MD 31090: JOG_INCR_WEIGHT[1;AX1]=0.00254 mm 0.0001 inch
Data back-up
Data records that can be read from the control system separately and that have scaling system relevant data, are assigned an inch and/or metric ID on reading, which corresponds to
MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC. This will save from which scaling system the
data have origininally been read.
This information is used to avoid that data records with a scaling system setting other than
currently set are re-read into the control system. In such a case, an appropriate alarm is provided (15030) and the writing process is aborted.
Since the language statement is also evaluated in part programs, these can also be protected against maloperation in the above mentioned manner. Thus it can be prevented that part
programs that, e.g. contain only metric data, can be run in an inch scaling system.

Simulation axes
For testing purposes, it is possible to simulate the speed control loop of an axis. In this case,
the axis will traverse with a following error, similar to a real axis.
A simulation axis is defined by setting the two MD 30130: CTRLOUT_TYPE[n] (setpoint output type) and MD 30240: ENC_TYPE[n] (actual-value output type) to 0.
After loading the standard machine data, the axes are set to simulation.
With reference point approach, setpoint and actual value can be set to the reference point
value.
MD 30350: SIMU_AX_VDI_OUTPUT (output of axis signals with simulation axes) can be
used to define whether the axis-specific IS are output to the PLC during the simulation.

Drives connected to Profibus DP
General
The I/O devices connected to Profibus DP (e.g. SIMODRIVE 611-UE drives, I/O modules) are
accessible through DP slave. A DP slave is a profibus node that has a PROFIBUS address
(PB address) and is loaded with values which is supplied by a master (in this case the SINUMERIK 802D).

Drive configuration for SINUMERIK 802D with Profibus DP

A ready-to-use system data block is provided for the SINUMERIK 802D. This data block allows to select a certain configuration of the SIMODRIVE 611UE drives and I/O modules using
MD 11240: PROFIBUS_SDB_NUMBER.
For the entire range of options, please refer to the detailed machine data description in the
Section Data Description.
The following numbers are assigned to the drives in accordance with the PB addresses and
the axis power section type (single- or double axis type) :
PB addr.10
->drive number 5
PB addr.12 (drive A)
->drive number 1
PB addr.12 (drive B)
->drive number 2
PB addr.13 (drive A)
->drive number 3
PB addr.13 (drive B)
->drive number 4
This drive number allows the assignment of the machine axis to the corresponding drive (refer
to the next Section Speed Setpoint and Actual-Value Assignment
Note
With double -axis power sections, both drives (A and B) must always be assigned to one axis.
Otherwise, during power -up, an error message will occur, and the entire power section will not be
ready. If you wish to connect only one axis, the drive must be reparameterized.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

3.3
MD 13060: DRIVE_TELEGRAM_TYPE[n] is used to set the default message type for the
communication with any drive. When using the SIMODRIVE 611UE drive as a digital axis
drive, the required value = 102 is already set (default value).
For a drive operating as a spindle control, other settings may be required:
MD value = 0:
for an additional analog spindle control on the drive
MD value = 104: for a digital spindle with direct position encoder
For a digital sindle with motor measuring system, MD value = 102 will apply.
Example of a digital drive (axis or spindle):
Drive number 1 ->
MD 13060: DRIVE_TELEGRAM_TYPE[0] = 102
Drive number 2 ->
Drive number 3 ->
etc.
The drive parameterization is carried out as follows:
-
on the display and control unit at the SIMODRIVE 611-UE
using the parameterization and start-up tool SimoCom U
To do so, you will need the following documentation:

Prerequisites for the assignment

All NC machine data must be defined unambiguously in
MD 10000: AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB[n] (machine axis name). This name must be

Note
If you wish to use an analog spindle (instead of a digital one) in conjunction with the SIMODRIVE 611UE drive, some additional notes must be observed. Please refer to the Chapter

Maximum speed setpoint

The maximum speed setpoint is defined using MD 36210: CTRLOUT_LIMIT. The value as a
percentage refers to the speed (100 %) at which the axis velocity of MD 32000:
MAX_AX_VELO is reached. A value greater than 100 % contains the required control margin
for the position control of axes.

If values above the limit are specified, the value is limited to the value defined in MD 36210,
the axes are stopped, and an alarm is output. For detailed information, see Section Axis monitoring functions.
In the case of an analog spindle, the maximum output speed is limited by the maximum setpoint output voltage of 10 V. The value of MD 36210: CTRLOUT_LIMIT should not be above the
speed setpoint reached at this voltage (100 %).

Servo gain factor

To ensure that there are only small contour deviations in continuous-path mode, a high servo
gain factor MD 32200: POSCTRL_GAIN[n] (position controller-loop gain) is required.
The index[n] of the machine data is coded as follows:
[control parameter set No.]: 0 - 5
If the loop gain factor is too high, however, overshot and (in some cases) inadmissible high
loads on the machine may be the consequence.

For example, if a load gear is active for an axis, then this transmission ratio (numerator, denominator) must also be entered in all of the remaining sets of parameters used for threads, in
addition to the parameter set with the index =0.

Data description (MD, SD)

General machine data
10200 **
INT_INCR_PER_MM
MD number
Computational resolution for linear positions
Default: 1000
Unit: Data type: DOUBLE
Meaning:
This MD is used to define the number of internal increments per millimiter.
The input accuracy of linear positions is limited to the computational resolution by rounding the
product of the programmed value with the computational resolution to an integer number.
To be able to trace the rounding easily, numbers raised to the power of 10 should be used for the
computational resolution.
In the case of high demands on the accuracy of linear axes, the computational resolution can be
increased to values greater than 1,000 incr./mm.
** This machine data is not available with the 802D base line.
10210 **
INT_INCR_PER_DEG
MD number
Computational resolution for angular positions
Default: 1000
Meaning:
This MD is used to define the number of internal increments per degree.
The input accuracy of angular positions is limited to the computational resolution by rounding the
product of the programmed value with the computational resolution to an integer number.
To be able to trace the rounding easily, numbers raised to the power of 10 should be used for the
computational resolution.
For a high-resolution rotary axis, the computational resolution can be changed to < 1,000 incr./degrees.
10240
SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC
MD number
Metric scaling system
Default: 1
Min. input limit: 0
Max. input limit: 1
Unit: Data type: BOOLEAN
Meaning:
The MD defines the scaling system used by the control system for the scaling of length-dependent
physical quantities for data I/O.
Internally, all data are stored in the basic units 1 mm, 1 degree and 1 sec.
When accessing from the part program, the operator panel or via external communication, the
following units are used for scaling:
SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC = 1: scaled in:
mm, mm/min, m/s2, m/s3, mm/rev.
SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC = 0: scaled in:
inch, inch/min, inch/s2, inch/s3, inch/rev.
The selection of the scaling system also defines the interpretation of the F value programmed for
linear axes:
metric
inch
G94
mm/min
inch/min
G95
mm/rev.
inch/rev.
After the machine data have been modified, the control system must be rebooted; otherwise, the
machine data with physical units will not be scaled correctly.
Observe the following procedure:
MD change by manual input
Reboot the control system and then enter the appropriate machine data with their
physical units
MD change is carried out using a machine data file
Reboot the control system and then reload the machine data file so that the physical
units come into effect.

POSCTRL_GAIN[n]
MD number
Servo gain factor
Default: 1.0
Unit: (m/min)/mm
Data type: DOUBLE
Meaning:
Position controller gain, so-called servo gain factor.
The input/output unit for the user is [ (m/min)/mm].
i.e. POSCTRL_GAIN[n] = 1 corresponds to 1 mm following error at V = 1 m/min.
If 0 is entered, the position controller is disconnected.
When entering the servo gain factor, take into account that the gain factor of the entire position
control loop is also dependent on other parameters of the controlled system. A distinction must
therefore be made between a desired servo gain factor (MD: POSCTRL_GAIN) and a real servo
gain factor (resulting on the machine). Only if all parameters of the control loop are matched another to one correctly, these servo gain factors are identical.
Note:
The axes which interpolate another to one and have to carry out a machining process, must have
the same gain (i.e. the same following error at the same velocity).

CTRLOUT_LIMIT[n]
MD number
Max. speed setpoint
Default: 110.0
Unit: %
Data type: DOUBLE
Meaning:
This MD is used to define the maximum speed setpoint value in per cent.
This specification refers to the speed (100 %) at which the velocity defined in MD 32000:
MAX_AX_VELO is reached. A value greater than 100 % contains the required control margin with
digital drives.
If values above the limit are specified, the value is limited to the MD value, the axes are stopped
and an alarm is generated.
Further references
With an analog spindle, the maximum output speed is limited by the maximum setpoint output
voltage of 10 V. The value in this MD should not be above the speed setpoint reached at this voltage (100 %).
Index[n] of the machine data is coded as follows: [setpoint branch]: 0

Data type: DOUBLE
Meaning:
Data for setting the actual-value acceptance time (Ti) of the encoder at Profibus (Ti).
Note:
The real Ti value is read either directly from the Profibus configuration or from the drive (if possible). In this case, the value of the machine data is set to the read value and only serves for displaying.

Acceleration (B2)
4.1
Acceleration profiles
Sudden acceleration
In case of the v/t linear velocity control of an axis, which is usually used, the motion is controlled such that the acceleration changes suddenly over the time. With this discontinuous, sudden acceleration, jerk-free starting and deceleration of the axes is not possible, but a timeoptimized velocity/time profile can be realized.
Jerk-limited acceleration
The jerk is the change of the acceleration over the time. With jerk-limited acceleration, the
maximum acceleration is specified not suddenly, but along a ramp. Due to the smoother acceleration characteristic, the traversing time increases towards a sudden acceleration whereas
the path, velocity and acceleration remain the same. In some cases, this loss in time can be
compensated by setting a higher settable axis acceleration.
This, however, has the following advantages:
Saving of the machine mechanics
Reduction of the excitation of high-frequency vibrations of the machine, which can badly
be controlled.

Selection and deselection of jerk-limited acceleration

MD 32431: MAX_AX_JERK (maximum axial jerk on path traversing) can be used to limit the
acceleration change for each machine axis separately. It is active for the axes that are interpolated by the path provided that SOFT is active. The jerk-limited acceleration is exclusively
carried out on the interpolator level.
The jerk-limited acceleration is enabled by:
programming SOFT in the part program. SOFT is modally active and deselects the sudden
acceleration profile (BRISK). If SOFT is programmed with path axes in one and the same
block, the previous block is completed with exact stop.
The jerk-limited acceleration (SOFT) is disabled by:
programming BRISK in the part program. BRISK is modally active. If path axes are programmed with BRISK in one and the same block, the previous block is completed with
exact stop. The sudden acceleration profile of the v/t linear velocity control is enabled
using BRISK.
Active range
The path-related jerk limitation is available for the interpolating path axes in the operating modes AUTO and MDA. The acceleration profiles SOFT and BRISK can be used together with
the traversing mode Exact stop G09, G60, continuous-path mode G64 and LookAhead. The
profiles are also active with the function Dry Run Feed. Alarms that trigger off a rapid stop
will disable both acceleration profiles.
For more detailed information on the behavior of velocity, acceleration, jerk when traversing in
the continuous-path mode and, in particular, at block transitions, please refer to:

Section Continuous Path Mode, Exact Stop and Look Ahead
Note: It is recommended to set the MD 32431: MAX_AX_JERK and

Percentage acceleration correction, ACC
Function
Some program sections may require to programmably modify the axis or spindle acceleration
defined in machine data. This programmable acceleration is a percentage acceleration correction.
The program command: ACC[channel axis name] = percentage value
can be used to program a percentage value > 0% and 200% for each axis (e.g.: X) or
spindle (S1). In this case, the axis interpolation is carried out on the basis of this proportional
acceleration. The acceleration stored in the axis-specific MD 32300: MAX_AX_ACCEL constitutes the reference for an axis (100%). For the spindle, this reference (100%) depends on
the active spindle mode and the gear stage (n = 1 ... 5)

MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_POSCTRL_ACCEL[n] in positioning mode.

References:
; 80% of the acceleration for the X axis
Activation
The limitation is active in all interpolation modes of AUTOMATIC and MDA modes. The limitation is not active in JOG mode and during reference point approach.
The value assignment ACC[...] = 100 disables the correction (100% of the MD values); the
same applies to RESET and end of program.
The programmed value is also active during dry run feed.
Error states
The limitation of the acceleration is inactive in error states that lead to a rapid stop with open
position control loop (since the axis is stopped along a braking ramp of the speed setpoint
value).
Note: A value programmed greater than 100% can only be executed if the drives have the
appropriate reserves - otherwise, alarm messages are output.

Brief description
Spindle application
Depending on the machine type, the following functions are possible for an NC-controlled
spindle:
Definition of a direction of rotation of the spindle (M3, M4)
Definition of a spindle speed (S)
Spindle stop, without orientation (M5)
Spindle positioning (SPOS=)

(position-controlled spindle required)
Gear step switchover (M40 to M45)
Thread cutting/tapping (G33, G331, G332, G63)
Revolutional feed (G95)
Constant cutting speed (G96)
Programmable spindle speed limitations (G25, G26, LIMS=)
Position encoder mounted on the spindle or on the spindle motor
Spindle monitoring for min. and max. speed
Dwell time in spindle revolutions (G4 S)
Instead of the controlled spindle, a switched spindle can be used. In this case, the spindle
speed (S) is not specified from the program, but, e.g. by manual operation (gearbox) on the
machine. It is thus also not possible to program any speed limitations. The following is possible via the program:
Definition of a direction of rotation of the spindle (M3, M4)
Spindle stop, without orientation (M5)
Tapping (G63)
If the spindle is equipped with a position encoder, in addition to the above mentioned functions, the functions listed below are possible:
Thread cutting/tapping (G33)
Revolutional feed (G95)
For a switched spindle, the setpoint output for the spindle via MD 30130: CTRLOUT_TYPE =0
must be suppressed.

Defining the spindle

A machine axis is declared a spindle by setting the following machine data:
MD 30300: IS_ROT_AX, MD 30310: ROT_IS_MODULO, MD 30320: DISPLAY_IS_MODULO
and MD 35000: SPIND_ASSIGN_TO_MACHAX. The spindle mode is signaled by the IS
Spindle/no axis (V390x 0000.0).

Changing between the spindle modes
Control mode - - -> oscillation mode

The spindle changes to oscillation mode if a new gear stage has been specified using the
automatic gear stage selection (M40) in conjunction with a new S value or by M41 to M45.
The spindle will only change to oscillation mode if the new gear stage is other than the current actual gear stage.

5.2.1
Spindle modes
Oscillation mode - - -> control mode

If the new gear stage has been selected, the IS Oscillation mode (V390x2002.6) is reset,
and the IS Gear switched over (V380x2000.3) will cause the spindle to change to control
mode. The spindle speed last programmed (S value) is active again.
Control mode - - -> positioning mode

If the spindle is to be stopped from rotation (M3 or M4) with orientation or if the spindle is
to be re-oriented from the standstill (M5), switchover to positioning mode is carried out
using SPOS.
Positioning mode - - -> control mode

To end the orientation of the spindle, M3, M4 or M5 are used to switch over to control
mode. The spindle speed last programmed (S value) is active again.
Positioning mode - - -> oscillation mode

To end the orientation of the spindle, M41 to M45 can be used to switch over to oscillation
mode. If the gear stage change is completed, the spindle speed last programmed (S value)
and M5 (control mode) are active again.
Positioning mode - - -> tapping without compensating chuck (rigid tapping)

Tapping without compensating chuck (helix interpolation) is activated using G331/G332.
First the spindle must be switched to position-controlled mode using SPOS.
Spindle mode: Control mode
When control mode?

The spindle is in control mode if the following functions are active:
Constant spindle speed S, M3/M4/M5 and G94, G95, G97, G33, G63
Constant cutting rate G96 S, M3/M4/M5
Prerequisites
A spindle actual position encoder is absolutely necessary for M3/M4/M5 in conjunction with
revolutional feed (G95, F in mm/rev. or inch/rev.), constant cutting rate (G96, G97) and thread
cutting (G33).
Separate spindle reset

MD 35040: SPIND_ACTIVE_AFTER_RESET is used to set the reaction of the spindle after
reset or program end (M2, M30):
In the case of MD value=0, the spindle is immediately braked down to a standstill at the
valid acceleration. The spindle speed last programmed and the direction of rotation of the
spindle will be deleted.
In the case of MD value=1 (separate spindle reset), the last programmed spindle speed (S
function) and the last programmed sense of rotation of the spindle (M3, M4, M5) will be
maintained.
If prior to reset or end of program the constant cutting rate (G96) is active, the current
spindle speed (referred to 100% spindle override) is internally accepted as the spindle
speed last programmed.

Note
The spindle can always be decelerated using the IS Delete distance to go/spindle reset.
CAUTION: If G94 is provided, the program will go on running. With G95, the axes will come
to a standstill due to the missing feed and thus also the program run if G1, G2, ... is active.
5.2.2
Spindle mode: Oscillation mode
Starting the oscillation mode

This oscillating movement facilitates meshing of a new gear stage. Generally, the new gear
stage may also be switched on without oscillation.
The spindle is in oscillation mode if a new gear stage has been set by the automatic gear
stage selection (M40) or by M41 to M45 (IS Switch over gear (V390x2000.3) has been set).
The IS Switch over gear is only set if the new gear stage specified is other than the current
actual gear stage. Oscillation of the spindle is started using the IS Oscillation speed
(V380x202.5).
If only the IS Oscillation speed is set without specifying a new gear stage, the spindle will not
change to oscillation mode.
The oscillation is started using the IS Oscillation speed. For the functional sequence, a distinction is made between the following cases, depending on the IS Oscillation by the PLC
(V380x2002.4):
Oscillation by the NCK
Oscillation by the PLC
Oscillation time
For each direction of rotation, the oscillation time can be defined in a machine data:
Oscillation time in M3 direction (in the following referred to as t1) in

MD 35440: SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CW
Oscillation time in M4 direction (in the following referred to as t2) in

MD 35450: SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CCW
Oscillation by the NCK

Phase 1: The IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) enables the spindle motor to accelerate
to the speed set in MD 35400: SPIND_OSCILL_DES_VELO (oscillation speed) (with oscillation acceleration). The start direction is determined by MD 35430:
SPIND_OSCILL_START_DIR (start direction on oscillation).
Phase 2: If time t1 (t2) has elapsed, the spindle motor accelerates in the opposite direction
to the speed set in the MD 35400: SPIND_OSCILL_DES_VELO (oscillation speed) in the opposite direction. Time t2 (t1) is started.
Phase 3: If time t2 (t1) has elapsed, the spindle motor accelerates in the opposite direction
(the same direction as in phase 1), etc.

Spindle modes

The IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) accelerates the spindle motor to the speed set in
MD 35400: SPIND_OSCILL_DES_VELO (oscillation speed) (with oscillation acceleration).
The direction of rotation is set by the IS Set direction CCW or IS Set direction CW
(V380x2002.7 or .6). The oscillation (oscillation movement) and the two times t1 and t2 (time
for direction of rotation CW and CCW) must be simulated in the PLC.
End of oscillation mode

The IS Gear has been switched over (V380x2000.3) tells the NCK that the new gear stage
(IS Actual gear stage (V380x2000.0 to .2)) is valid, and that the oscillation mode is ended.
The actual gear stage should correspond to the set gear stage. The oscillation mode is also
ended if the IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) is still set. The spindle speed last programmed (S function) and the direction of rotation of the spindle (M3, M4 or M5) are active again.
After the oscillation mode has been ended, the spindle is in control mode again.
All gear-specific limit values (min./max. speed of the gear stage, etc.) corresponding to the
specified values of the actual gear stage are switched off at spindle standstill.
Block change
If the spindle has been switched over to oscillation mode (IS Switchover gear
(V390x2000.3) is set), the part program execution is stopped. No new block will be started. If
the oscillation mode is ended by the IS Gear has been switched over (V380x2000.3), the
part program execution is resumed. A new block will be executed.

The acceleration is defined in MD 35410: SPIND_OSCILL_ACCEL (acceleration on oscillation).
If the IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) is reset, the oscillation stops. The spindle mode
Oscillation, however, is not quitted.
The gear stage change should always be ended by the IS Gear is switched over.
The IS Reset (V30000000.7) will not cancel the oscillation mode.
If an indirect measuring system is used, the synchronization gets lost. Upon next zero
mark overtravel, a synchronization is carried out again.

Reset during gear stage change

A spindle stop is not possible through the IS Reset (V30000000.7) or the IS NC stop
(V32000007.3), if the spindle is in oscillation mode for gear stage change and if the IS Gear
is switched over (V380x2000.3) is not yet present.
In these cases if reset is selected the alarm 10640 Stop not possible during gear stage
change is displayed.
After the gear steps have been changed, the reset request is carried out and the alarm cleared if this is still provided at the interface.

Possibility to abort: Set IS Delete distance-to-go/spindle reset (V380x0002.2)
5.2.3
Spindle mode: Positioning mode
When positioning mode?

In positioning mode, the spindle is stopped at the specified position. The position control is
enabled and remains active until it is deselected. During the program function SPOS =....., the
spindle is in positioning mode (also refer to Chapter 5.5 Programming).
Block change
Programming with SPOS:
The block change is carried out as soon as all functions programmed in the block have reached their block end criterion (e.g. axes terminated, all auxiliary functions acknowledged
from the PLC) and as soon as the spindle has reached its position (IS Exact stop fine for
the spindle (V390x0000.7)).
Prerequisites
Spindle actual position encoder is absolutely necessary.

MD 35300: SPIND_POSCTRL_VELO + is reached:
the position control is connected,
the distance to go (to the target position) is calculated , (it is more likely to be possible from
phase 1a)
the acceleration to MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_POSCTRL_ACCEL (acceleration in position

control mode) is switched over (is always active below the position controller threshold
speed)
Phase 4: The spindle brakes from the calculated braking point at

MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_POSCTRL_ACCEL until the target position is reached.
Phase 5: The position control remains active and keeps the spindle in the programmed position. The IS Position reached at exact stop fine (V390x0000.7) and ... coarse
(V390x0000.6) are set, if the distance between the actual spindle position and the programmed position (spindle setpoint position) is less than the exact stop fine and coarse (determined in MD 36010: STOP_LIMIT_FINE and MD 36000 :STOP_LIMIT_COARSE).

Phase 1: If SPOS is programmed, the spindle will accelerate at the acceleration defined in
MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_ POSCTRL_ACCEL (acceleration in position control mode) until
the speed entered in MD 35300: SPIND_POSCTRL_VELO (position controller switch-on
speed) is reached.
The direction of rotation is determined by MD 35350: SPIND_POSITIONING_ DIR (direction
of rotation when positioning from the standstill), unless there is no preset value from the
SPOS programming ( ACN, ACP, IC). The spindle is synchronized with the next zero mark of
the position actual-value encoder.
Phase 2: After the spindle has been synchronized, the position control is enabled. The
spindle will rotate not faster than specified in MD 35300: SPIND_POSCTRL_VELO until the
brake starting point calculation recognizes when the spindle may exactly approach the programmed spindle position with the acceleration defined.
Phase 3: The spindle brakes at the brake threshold point at the acceleration defined in
MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_ POSCTRL_ACCEL (acceleration in position control mode).
Phase 4: The spindle has reached the position and is at a standstill. The position control is
active and keeps the spindle in the programmed position. The IS Position reached with exact
stop fine (V390x0000.7) and ... coarse (V390x0000.6) are set if the distance between the
spindle actual position and the programmed position (spindle setpoint position) is less than

Sequence
The spindle is traversed time-optimized until the programmed time is reached. Depending on
the related boundary conditions, the spindle will pass the phases 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 or 1 - 3a - 4a.
Phase 1: SPOS will switch the spindle to position control mode. The acceleration from the
MD 35210: GEAR_STEP_POSCTRL_ACCEL (acceleration in position control mode) becomes active. The direction of rotation is determined by the present distance to go (type of path
specification with SPOS). The limit frequency set in MD 35300: SPIND_POSCTRL_VELO
(position control threshold speed) will not be exceeded.
The calculation of the distance to be traversed to the target position will be carried out. If the
target point can be reached from this phase immediately, it is continued with phases 3a and
4a, instead of phase 2.
Phase 2: The system has been accelerated up to the speed entered in
MD 35300: SPIND_POSCTRL_VELO (position controller threshold speed). The brake threshold point calculation will recognize at which time the programmed spindle position
(SPOS=...) can be approached at the acceleration stored in MD 35210:
GEAR_STEP_POSCTRL_ACCEL .
Phase 3 and phase 4: Braking and Position reached have the same sequence as with a
non-synchronized spindle.
Spindle reset
The positioning process can be canceld using the IS Delete distance to go/spindle reset
(V380x0002.2). However, the spindle will remain in positioning mode.
Notes
The spindle override switch continues to apply in Positioning mode.
The positioning (SPOS) can be canceled either with Reset or NC STOP.

Spindle modes
Spindle mode: Axis mode
When axis mode?

For certain machining tasks on turning machines, such as end face machining via TRANSMIT
or peripheral surface machining via TRACYL, the spindle must be run as a rotary axis.
If TRANSMIT or TRACYL is not activated, standard rotary axis functions can be executed. In
this case, the programming is carried out under the rotary axis address, e.g. C.
Prerequisites
The spindle can be switched from the spindle mode to the axis mode (rotary axis) if a common
motor is used both for the spindle and for the axis modes.
The axis mode requires a position actual-value encoder.
Activation/deactivation
Set the spindle to the position-controlled mode (positining mode):
N10 SPOS=0
If the spindle is synchronized, switching to the position-controlled mode is also possible via
M70 or SPCON.
Now, the axis can be traversed in the program as a rotary axis:
N20 G94 G1 C124.4 F4000
; Feedrate F: 4,000 degrees/min
Switching back to the speed-controlled spindle mode is performed by programming
N100 M3
; or M4, M5, M41 ... M45 or SPCOF
Special features
The feedrate override factor is effective.
By default, RESET will not quit the axis mode.
The IS Spindle/no axis (V390x 0000.0) is set to zero.
The axis mode can be enabled in any gear stage.
If the axis mode is active, the gear stage cannot be changed.
In the axis mode, the MD of the parameter set with index zero apply in order to be able to
make adaptations in this mode.

Synchronizing
Synchronizing
Why synchronizing?
To ensure that the control system exactly finds the 0 degree position after the control system
has been turned on, the control system must be synchronized with the position encoder of the
spindle. Only a synchronized spindle can perform thread cutting or positioning.
As far as axes are concerned, this process is called referencing (see Chapter Reference
Point Approach).
Mounting locations of the position measuring systems

directly on the motor plus BERO switch on the spindle (zero marker encoder)
directly on the spindle
on the spindle above the resolver gearbox plus BERO switch on the spindle
Synchronization options
After the control system has been turned on, the spindle can be synchronized as follows:
The spindle is started at a spindle speed (S function) and with a spindle rotation direction
(M3 or M4) and synchronizes itself with the next zero mark of the position measuring system or BERO signal. The 0-degree position is offset by MD 34080: REFP_MOVE_DIST
+ MD 34090: REFP_MOVE_DIST - MD 34100: REFP_SET_POS.
Note: To offset the 0-degree position, only use MD 34080: REF_MOVE_DIST. The monitoring using MD 34060: REFP_MAX_MARKER_DIST should be set to two spindle revolutions (720 degrees).
by programming SPOS=... from different states (see Section 5.2.3 Spindle mode: Positioning mode)
In JOG mode, the spindle is started in speed control mode using the direction keys and
synchronizes itself with the next zero mark of the position measuring system or the BERO
SIGNAL.
Value acceptance
When synchronizing the spindle, the corresponding reference point value and a resulting offset of the reference point (if any) is accepted from MD 34100: REFP_SET_POS[0] (default
value =0). These offsets (machine data) act independently of the connected measuring system and are described in the Section Reference point approach.
Max. encoder frequency exceeded

If in spindle mode Control mode the spindle reaches a speed (large S value programmed)
that is greater than the max. encoder frequency (the max. speed of the encoder may not be
exceeded), the synchronization gets lost. The spindle goes on rotating, but with reduced functionality.
If thereafter a speed is reached which is below the maximum encoder limit frequency (smaller
S value programmed, spindle override switch changed, etc.), the spindle synchronizes itself
automatically from the next zero mark signal.

Resynchronizing
In the following case, however, the position measuring system of the spindle must be resynchronized:
The position measuring system is mounted on the motor, a BERO (clearance sensor for synchronization signal) is mounted on the spindle, and the gear stage is changed. The synchronization is internally initiated when the spindle rotates at the new gear stage.

automatically by the programmed spindle speed (M40)

Gear stage change
M41 to M45
The gear stage can be firmly defined in the part program using M41 to M45. If a gear stage is
specified using M41 to M45, which is not equal to the current (actual) gear stage, the IS
Switch over gear (V390x2000.3) and the IS Set gear stage A to C (V390x2000.0 bis .2) are
set. The programmed spindle speed (S function) refers to the gear stage defined as a fixed
gear stage. If a spindle speed is programmed which is above the max. speed of the firmly determined gear stage, a limitation of the max. speed of the gear stage is carried out, and the IS
Setpoint speed limited (V390x2001.1) is set.
M40
M40 in the part program serves to define the gear stage by the control system automatically. A
check is carried out to see whether the programmed spindle speed (S function) is possible. If
a gear stage is found which is not equal to the current (actual) gear stage, the IS Switch over
gear (V390x2000.3) and the IS Set gear stage A to C (V390x2000.0 bis .2) are set.

Gear stage change
Changing the gear stage when the spindle is at a standstill

It is possible to switch over to a new gear stage while the spindle is at a standstill.
After the new gear stage has been preselected by M40 and the spindle speed by M41 to M45,
the IS Set gear steps A to C (V390x2000.0 bis .2) and IS Switch over gear (V390x2000.4)
are set. Depending on to which time the IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) is set, the
spindle brakes down to a standstill at the acceleration defined for oscillation or at the acceleration defined for speed control mode/position control mode.
The next block in the part program after a gear stage switchover using M40 and S value or
M41 to M45 will not be executed (same effect as if the IS Read disable (V32000006.1) would
be set.).
When the spindle is at a standstill (IS Axis/spindle stop (V390x0001.4) ), the oscillation can
be switched on by the IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5). After the new gear stage has
been switched on, the PLC user sets the IS Actual gear stage (V380x2000.0 bis .2) and IS
Gear is switched over (V380x2000.3). The gear stage change is considered completed
(spindle mode Oscillation mode is deselected) and the spindle is switched to the parameter
set of the new actual gear stage. The spindle accelerates to the last programmed spindle
speed in the new gear stage (provided that M3 or M4 is active). The IS Switch over gear
(V390x2000.3) is reset by the NCK, whereupon the PLC user has to reset the IS Gear is switched over (V380x2000.3). The next block in the part program can be executed.

For the spindle monitoring Max. spindle speed, a max. speed is defined which may not be

spindle speed
nevertheless exceeds the max. spindle speed taking into account the spindle speed tolerance
(MD 35150: SPIND_DES_VELO_TOL (spindle speed tolerance)), there is a drive error, and
the

The spindle speed can be limited to a defined value by the PLC: This value is contained in

Warning
The max. encoder limit frequency of the spindle actual position encoder is monitored by the
control system (exceeding possible). The machine tool manufacturer must ensure by appropriate dimensioning of the components spindle motor, gearbox, resolver gearbox and encoder
in conjunction with the corresponding machine data that the max. speed (mechanical limit
speed) of the spindle actual position encoder cannot be exceeded.
Max. encoder limit frequency exceeded

If in spindle mode Control mode the spindle reaches a speed (large S value programmed)
that is above the max. encoder limit frequency (the max. mechanical limit speed of the encoder must not be exceeded), the synchronization gets lost. However, the spindle will go on rotating.
If one of the functions thread cutting (G33), revolutional feedrate (G95) or constant cutting rate
(G96, G97) is programmed, the spindle speed is automatically lowered until the active measuring system operates safely again.
The max. encoder limit frequency is exceeded in spindle mode Positioning mode and for

Target position monitoring
Function
On positioning (spindle is in spindle mode Positioning mode), the distance how far the actual
position of the spindle is away from the programmed spindle set position (target point) is monitored.
Set position
To this aim, two limit values can be set in MD 36000: STOP_LIMIT_COARSE (exact stop coarse) and MD 36010: STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine) as an incremental path (starting
from the setpoint position). Irrespective of the two limit values, the accuracy of the spindle positioning is always as good as specified by the connected spindle transducer, the backlash,
the gear transmission ratio, etc.

(V390x0000.7) are output to the PLC.
Block change at SPOS

When positioning the spindle using SPOS, the block change is carried out in accordance with
the target point monitoring using the IS Position reached with exact stop fine. During this
process, all the other functions programmed in the block must also have reached their block
end criterion (e.g. axes ready, all auxiliary functions acknowledged by the PLC).

2nd spindle / master spindle

With SINUMERIK 802D, a 2nd spindle is provided with SW 2.0 and higher.
Function
With SW 2.0 and higher, the kinematic transformation functions TRANSMIT and TRACYL are possible to carry out milling on turning machines. These functions require a 2nd spindle for the driven
milling toll. When using these functions, the main spindle is run as a rotary axis.
Master spindle
The master spindle is connected to various functions which are only possible with this spindle:
G95
; Revolutional feedrate
G96, G97
; Constant cutting rate
LIMS
; Upper limit speed with G96, G97
G33, G34, G35, G331, G332
M3, M4, M5, S...
; Thread cutting, thread interpolation
; Simple specifications for the direction of rotation, stop and speed
The master spindle is defined via configuration (machine data). This is usually the main
spindle (spindle 1). In the program, it is also possible to define a different spindle as the master spindle:
SETMS(n)
; Spindle n (= 1 or 2) is master spindle as of now
Switching back is also possible as follows:

SETMS
; The configured master spindle is master spindle as of now again or
SETMS(1)
; Spindle 1 is master spindle as of now again.
The definition of the master spindle changed in the program only applies up to the end of the
program / program abortion. Then, the configured master spindle is active again.
Programming via the spindle number

Some spindle functions can also be selected via the spindle number:
5-106
S1=..., S2=...
M1=3, M1=4, M1=5 ; Specifications for the direction of rotation, stop for spindle 1
M2=3, M2=4, M2=5 ; Specifications for the direction of rotation, stop for spindle 2
M1=40, ..., M1=45
; Gear stages for spindle 1 (if any)
M2=40, ..., M2=45
; Gear stages for spindle 2 (if any)
SPOS[ n ]
; Position spindle n
SPI (n)
; converts spindle number n into axis identifier, e.g. SP1 or CC

; n must be a valid spindle number (1 or 2)
; The functions of the spindle identifiers SPI(n) and Sn are the same.
P_S[ n ]
; Speed of spindle n, which was last programmed
$AA_S[ n ]
; Actual speed of spindle n
; Spindle speed for spindle 1 or 2

With constant cutting rate (G96 and G97), in addition to the limitations permanently active, an additional limitation acts, which is entered in SPIND_MAX_VELO_LIMS. Furthermore, it is possible to
describe SPIND_MAX_VELO_LIMS in the part program using LIMS=.... .
all spindle modes except for G96 and G97 (constant cutting rate)
On parting and in the case of very small machining diameters, the spindle with the workpiece (turning machine) accelerates higher and higher at constant cutting rate (G96), theoretically reaching
an infinitely high set speed in the position of the traverse axis X=0. In these cases, the spindle
accelerates to its max. spindle speed of the current gear stage (if applicable, limited by G26). If
you wish to limit the spindle to a lower speed (especially, with G96), this can be dopne using
LIMS=.... SPIND_MAX_VELO_LIMS.
The value in SD 43210: SPIND_MIN_VELO_LIMS can be modified by:
LIMS S.... in the part program
Operation from HMI
The value in SD: SPIND_MIN_VELO_LIMS remains stored even after RESET and mains off.

Oscillation speed
To carry out a gear stage change (IS Switch over gear (V390x2000.3) is set), the spindle mode
changes to oscillation mode.
Depending on at which moment the IS Oscillation speed (V380x2002.5) is set, the spindle will
brake to a standstill at different accelerations:
1. The IS Oscillation speed is set before the IS Switch over gear is set by the NCK. The
spindle is decelerated to a standstill at the acceleration of oscillation
(MD: SPIND_OSCILL_ACCEL). If the spindle has stopped, the oscillation is started
immediately.
2. The IS Oscillation speed is set after the IS Switch over gear has been set by the NCK and
after the spindle has come to a standstill. The position control is switched off. The spindle will
be decelerated at the acceleration of the speed control mode. After the IS Oscillation speed
has been set, the spindle starts to oscillate at the oscillation acceleration
(MD: SPIND_OSCILL_ACCEL).
If the IS Oscillation from PLC (V380x2002.4) is not set, the IS Oscillation speed is used to
carry out automatic oscillation in the NCK. The two times for the directions of rotation are entered
in SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CW (oscillation time for M3 direction) and SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CCW
(oscillation time for M4 direction).
If the IS Oscillation by the PLC is set, a speed is output with the IS Oscillation speed only in
conjunction with the IS Set direction of rotation CW and CCW. The oscillation, i.e. the continuous
change of the direction of rotation, is carried out by the PLC user using the IS Set direction of
rotation CW and CCW (oscillation from PLC).
The spindle will not oscillate.
all spindle modes except for oscillation mode
The oscillation speed is used to facilitate meshing of a new gear stage.
IS Set direction of rotation CCW (V380x2002.7)
IS Set direction of rotation CW (V380x2002.6)

If the IS Oscillation by the PLC is set, a speed is output with the IS Oscillation speed only in
conjunction with the IS Set direction of rotation CW and CCW. The oscillation, i.e. the continuous
change of the direction of rotation, is carried out by the PLC user using the IS Set direction of
rotation CW and CCW (oscillation from PLC).
If the IS Oscillation by the PLC is not set, the IS Oscillation speed is used to carry out automatic oscillation in the NCK. The two time values for the directions of rotation are entered in the
MD 35440: SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CW (oscillation time for the M3 direction) and MD 35450:
SPIND_OSCILL_TIME_CCW (oscillation time for the M4 direction).
If the new gear stage cannot be engaged despite several attempts during oscillation by the NCK, it
is possible to switch over to oscillation by the PLC. In this case, the two time values for the directions of rotation can be modified by the PLC user as he wants. This will guarantee that a safe
switch-over of the gear stage is possible even if the gears are in unfavorable position.

When the spindle is in the acceleration phase (programmed set speed not yet reached), normally,
the feedrate must be disabled.
This can be done in the following manner:
The IS Spindle in set range is evaluated and the IS Feed disable (V32000006.0) set.
The MD 35500: SPIND_ON_SPEED_AT_IPO_START (feed enable for spindle in set
range) is set and the NCK internally evaluates whether the spindle is in the set range. The
feedrate will only be enabled if the spindle is in set range again. Positioning axes will never be
stopped by this function.
Set speed increased (programmed speed too low)

If a spindle speed (1/min) or a constant cutting rate (m/min and/or ft/min) is programmed, one of
the following limit values has been undershot:
min. speed of the specified gear stage
min. spindle speed
speed limitation by the PLC
programmed spindle speed limitation G25
programmed spindle speed limitation with G96
The spindle speed is limited to the min. limit value.
If a spindle speed (1/min) or constant cutting speed (m/min or ft/min) has been programmed, no
limit values have been undershot.
It can be recognised from the IS Set speed increased that the programmed speed cannot be
reached. The PLC user can recognise this state as inadmissible and disable the feedrate, or he
can disable the feedrate or the entire channel. If the IS Spindle in set range is set, the machining
is carried out.
Set speed limited (programmed speed too high)

If a spindle speed (1/min) or a constant cutting rate (m/min and/or ft/min) is programmed, one of
the following limit values has been exceeded:
max. speed of the specified gear stage
max. spindle speed
speed limitation by interface signal from PLC
progr. spindle speed limitation G26
progr. spindle speed limitation with G96
The spindle speed will be limited to the max. limit value.
If a spindle speed (1/min) or a constant cutting rate (m/min or ft/min) has been programmed, no
limit values have been exceeded.
It can be recognized from the IS Set speed limited that the programmed speed cannot be reached. The PLC user can recognise this state as inadmissible and disable the feedrate, or he can

Rotary Axes (R2)
6.1
General
Features of a rotary axis

Rotary axes are generally programmed in degrees. In general, they are characterized by the
fact that they are back to the same position exactly after one rotation (modulo 360 degrees).
Depending on the application type, the traversing range of the rotary axis can be limited to
values less than 360 degrees (e.g., with swivel axes for tool holders) or endlessly (e. g., with
rotary movements of the tool or workpiece).
Definition of the rotary axis

An axis is declared a rotary axis using MD 30300: IS_ROT_AX = 1.
Note
The geometry axes ( X, Y, Z) cannot be used as rotary axes or as a spindle. These geometry axes
are defined by MD 20050: AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB (assignment of geometry axes to
channel axis).

For axes/rotary axes, an extended addressing (e.g.: C2=) or a free axis address (name) can
be defined by configuration using MD 1000: AXCO=NF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB or
MD 20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB.

1)
These units will be interpreted by the control system with axis-specific machine data if the axis concerned is
declared a rotary axis.
References: Section Velocities, Setpoint/Actual-Value Systems, Closed-Loop Control
Feed
With rotary axes alone in a block, the programmed feedrate F corresponds to a certain angular speed [degrees/min].
If rotary axes and linear axes traverse along a certain path with G94 or G95, the feed must be
interpreted in the unit of the linear axes [e.g. mm/min, inch/min].
The tangential velocity of the rotary axes refers to the diameter DE (unit diameter DE = 360/p
whereby p = circular constant). If the diameter is equal to the unit diameter (D=DE), the numerical values of the programmed angular speed in degrees/min. and of the tangential speed in
mm/min (or inch/min) are the same.
The following general rule applies to the tangential speed:
F = FW * D / DE
F = tangential speed [mm/min]

FW = angular speed [degrees/min]
D = diameter at which F is active [mm]
with DE = 360 / p
DE = unit diameter [mm]

p = circular constant Pi = 3.14...
JOG speed for rotary axes

SD 41130: JOG_ROT_AX_SET_VELO (JOG speed for rotary axes) can be used to define a
JOG speed that will apply to all rotary axes.
If value = 0 is entered in the setting data, the axis-specific MD 32020: JOG_VELO (conventional axis velocity) will be active for the JOG velocity of the rotary axis.

6.2
Modulo 360 degrees

The software limit switches and work area limitings are active and are required for swiveling
axes with a limited work area. However, for endlessly turning rotary axes, (with MD 30310:
ROT_IS_MODULO=1) the software limit switches and work area limitings are switched axisspecifically to the inactive condition.
References:
6.2
Section Axis monitoring
Modulo 360 degrees
The term modulo 360 degrees

The term modulo in conjuncion with a rotary axis means a control-internal imaging of the
rotary axis position in the range from 0 to 359,999 degrees. For path specifications > 360 degrees (e.g. for incremental programming G91), the position is imaged to the range of values
from 0 to <360 degrees using a control system-internal conversion. The imaging is carried out
both in JOG mode and in AUTOMATIC mode. Exception: Service display.
Machine data settings

The programming and positioning (MD 30310: ROT_IS_MODULO), as well as the position
display (MD 30320: DISPLAY_IS_MODULO) in modulo 360 can be defined for each rotary
axis separately in modulo 360 by means of machine data according to the machine requirements.
Axis is modulo
MD 30310 : ROT_IS_MODULO = 1:
With activation of the machine data, the specific rotary axes features become obvious. These
features also determine the positioning behavior of the rotary axis on programming (G90, AC,
ACP, ACN or DC). After taking into account the current zero offsets internally by the control
system, a modulo 360 imaging is carried out. The target position determined in this way is
then approached within one revolution.
The software limit switches and the work area limitings are not active and the work area is
thus endless.
For a modulo axis, the position display Modulo 360 should always be selected (MD 30320:
DISPLAY_IS_MODULO = 1).
Modulo position display

MD 30320: DISPLAY_IS_MODULO = 1:
The position display for rotary axes is often needed in modulo 360 (1 revolution), i.e. in the
positive direction of rotation, the control system internally resets the display to 0.000 periodically after 359.9995; in the negative direction of rotation, the positions are also displayed in
the range 0...359,999.

6.3
Programming rotary axes
MD 30320 : DISPLAY_IS_MODULO = 0:
In contrast to the display Modulo 360, +360 is displayed after one revolution, and +720 after
two revolutions etc. in absolute position display mode, e.g. for a positive direction of rotation.
In this case, the display range is limited by the controller according to the linear axes.
6.3

Note
For general information on programming, refer to:
References:
6.3.1
Rotary axis with active modulo conversion
Absolute programming (AC, ACP, ACN, G90)

Example with ACP: C=ACP(5.33), generally: axis name=ACP(value)
The value describes the target position of the rotary axis in a range from 0 ... 359.999. In
case of values with a negative sign or 360, alarm 16830 Wrong modulo position pro
grammed is output.
ACP (positive) and ACN (negative) define the traversing direction of the rotary axis (irrespective of the actual position) unambiguously.
If AC or G90 is programmed, the traversing direction is dependent on the actual position of

the rotary axis. If the target position is greater than the actual position, the axis will traverse
in the positive direction of rotation, otherwise, in the negative direction of rotation.
Use of ACP and ACN: For unsymmetrical workpieces, it must be possible to define the
traversing direction to rule out collisions during the rotary movement.
Absolute programming on the shortest path (DC)

Example with DC: C=DC(25.3), generally: axis name=DC(value)
The value defines the target position of the rotary axis in a range of 0 ... 359.999. In case
of values with a negative sign or 360, the alarm 16830 Wrong modulo position programmed is output.
With DC (Direct Control), the rotary axis approaches the programmed position on the
shortest path within one revolution (traversing movement max. +180).
Depending on the current actual position, the control system determines the direction of
rotation and the distance to be traversed. If the distance to be traversed is the same (180)
in both directions, the positive direction of rotation is given preference.
Application example of DC: The rotary table is to approach the change position within the
shortest possible time (and thus on the shortest path).
Note: If DC is programmed for a linear axis, the alarm message 16800 Unable to execute
traversing instruction DC is displayed.
6-134

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
Rotary Axes (R2)

6.3
Incremental programming (IC, G91)

The value defines the distance to be traversed by the rotary axis. The value can be either
negative or 360.
The sign of the value specifies the traversing direction of the rotary axis definitely.
Example:
C=IC(720) ;C axis incrementally traverses in the positive direction by 720 (2 revolutions)
C=IC(-180) ;C axis incrementally traverses in negative direction by 180
Endless traversing range

Once the modulo function is active, the traversing range will not be limited (software limit switches not active). Through appropriate programming, the rotary axis can be traversed in an
endless range.
Example:
N10 LOOP: C=IC(7200)
N20 GOTOB LOOP
6.3.2
Rotary axis without modulo conversion
Absolute programming (AC, G90)

Example of AC: C=AC(-410), generally: axis name=AC (+/-value)
The value and its sign define the target position of the rotary axis unambiguously. The value can be greater than +/-360 degrees. The position value is limited by the software limit
switches.
The traversing direction is determined by the control system, depending on the signed actual position of the rotary axis.
If ACP or ACN are programmed, the alarms 16810 Unable to execute traversing instruction ACP or 16820 Unable to execute traversing instruction ACN are output.
Absolute programming on the shortest path (DC)

Example of DC: C=DC(60.3), generally: axis name=DC(value)
Even if the rotary axis is not defined as a modulo axis, the axis can be positioned using DC
(Direct Control). In this case, the behavior is as a modulo axis.
Incremental programming (IC, G91)

Example of IC: C=IC(-532.4), generally: axis name=IC(+/-value)
With incremental programming, the rotary axis traverses the same path as with the modulo
axis. The traversing range, however, is limited here by SW limit switches.
Traversing range limited

The traversing range is limited as with the linear axes. The range limits are defined by the
software limit switches plus and minus.

Defining a transverse axis
Geometry axis as a transverse axis

The geometry axis X is defined as a transverse axis. A transverse axis is important for turning machine functions..
7.2
Diameter programming
Enabling and disabling

Transverse axes can be programmed either in radius or diameter dimensions.
The program commands DIAMON or DIAMOF can be used to enable/disable the diameter
programming of a transverse axis.
DIAMON and DIAMOF are G commands of group 29 and are modally active.
JOG mode
If DIAMON is active, the increments of the related transverse axis, which have been entered
for the machine functions INC (incremental dimension) and hand-wheel traversing in JOG
mode, will be interpreted in and traversed by diameter values (traversing in the WCS with this
axis).
Setpoint/actual value display

If the function DIAMON is active for a transverse axis, position, distance to go and REPOS
offset are displayed in diameter dimensions provided the workpiece coordinate system is selected.
In the machine coordinate system (MCS), the display is always carried out in radius dimensions.
Offsets
All offsets (e. g. tool offsets, programmable and settable zero offsets) are always entered, programmed and displayed as radius dimensions (even if they are active for the transverse axis
and if DIAMON is active).
Working area limitations, software limit switches, feed values

These data are always entered, programmed and displayed as radius values.

7.3
Constant cutting rate: G96
Conversion of diameter values to internal radius values

In case of active diameter programming, a conversion to internal radius values is carried out
for the transverse axis (i.e. halving of the programmed values):
programmed end positions
absolute interpolation parameters (e. g. I, J, K) for G2/G3 programming

Absolute interpolation parameters will be referred to the coordinate zero of WCS.
Any interpolation parameters programmed in relative dimensions will not be converted.
References:
Conversion of internal radius values to diameter values

In case of active diameter programming, when measuring in the WCS using the functions
MEAS and MEASW, the results of measurement are converted to diameter values for the
transverse axis (i.e. doubling of the internal radius values) and stored.
When measuring or reading in the MCS, the values determined are stored as radius values.
7.3
Constant cutting rate: G96
Functionality
Prerequisite: A controlled spindle must be provided.
With the G96 function enabled, the spindle speed is matched with the diameter of the workpiece currently machined (position of the transverse axis=geometry axis X) such that a programmed cutting rate S at the tool edge remains constant (spindle speed by diameter = constant).
From the block that contains G96, the S word is interpreted as the cutting rate. G96 is modally
active until it is canceled by another G function of the group (G94, G95, G97).

Fundamentals
Why referencing?
To ensure that the control system detects the machine zero point exactly after the control system has been turned on, it must be synchronized with the position measuring system of
each machine axis. This process is called referencing.
The procedure for the spindle (synchronization) is to a large degree described in the Chapter
Spindle.
Positions measuring systems

The following position measuring systems can be installed on the motor/machine for an axis:
incremental rotatory measuring system
absolute rotatory measuring system
The referencing can be set for the installed position measuring systems using
MD 34200: ENC_REFP_MODE (referencing mode).
Cams
A cam for the reference point approach may be required for linear axes and performs the following tasks using its signal :
Selection of the traversing direction when approaching the zero mark (synchronous pulse)
Selection of the zero mark as necessary
BERO
A BERO (inductive proximity switch) can be used as an encoder for the synchronous pulse
(instead of the position encoder zero mark) (preferrably for rotary axes, spindle).
In this case, the connection is made on the drive SIMODRIVE 611U. This drive must be parameterized accordingly (using SimoComU).

IS Active machine function REF (V3100 0001.2)

Fundamentals
Axis - specific referencing

The axis - specific referencing is started for each machine axis separately using the IS Traversing keys plus/minus (V380x0004.7 /.6). All axes can be referenced simultaneously. To
reference the machine axes in a certain order, the following is necessary:
The operator must observe the starting order.
The PLC user program must either check the starting order or define it automatically.
The order is defined in MD 34110: REFP_CYCLE_NR (see channel - specific referencing).
Channel - specific referencing

The channel - specific referencing is started using the IS Enable referencing (V3200
0001.0). The control system acknowledges the successful start with the IS Referencing active (V3300 0001.0). Using the channel - specific referencing, it is possible to reference each
machine axis assigned to the channel. (To this aim, the control system internally simulates
the traversing keys plus/minus.) The axis - specific MD 34110: REFP_CYCLE_NR (axis order
on channel - specific referencing) can be used to define in which order the machine axes are
referenced. If all axes specified in REFP_CYCLE_NR have reached their reference points,
the IS All axes to be referenced are referenced (V33000004.2) is set.
Special features
The IS Reset (V3000 0000.7) is used to cancel referencing. All axes that have not yet
reached their reference points until this moment are considered not referenced.
The IS Referencing active is reset, and alarm 20005 is output.
Working area limitations and software limit switches are not active for machine axes not
referenced.
When referencing, the specified axis - specific accelerations are observed at all times (except in case of alarms).
To start reference - point approach, only the direction key defined for the corresponding
direction in MD 34010: REFP_CAM_DIR_IS_MINUS will be active.
Referencing in the part program

One or several axes can be referenced at the same time, which have lost their reference during operation. The sequence of the individual phases completely corresponds to the axis specific referencing, while the start is not carried out using the traversing keys plus/minus,
but using the G74 command and the machine axis identifiers.
References:
Note: MD 20700: REFP_NC_START_LOCK = 1 will disable the start of a part program (alarm
output), unless all the specified axes are referenced.

What is the required minimum length of the reference cam?
Example for the case: Synchronuous pulse before the cam, reference coordinate before synchronuous pulse = synchronuous pulse search with falling cam edge).
The reference cam must have such a length that the braking procedure is terminated on the
cam when approaching the cam at reference point approach velocity (standstill on the cam),
and that the cam is left again when starting in the opposite direction at reference point shutdown velocity (leaving at a constant velocity).
To calculate the minimum length of the cam, insert the larger of the following speeds in the
formula below:
Minimum length =
( reference point approach velocity or shutdown speed)2

2 x axis acceleration (MD 32300: MAX_AX_ACCEL)
If the machine axis does not come to a standstill at the reference cam (IS Reference point
approach delay (V380x1000.7) has been reset), alarm 20001 is output. Alarm 20001 may
occur if the reference - cam is too short and the machine axis overruns the reference cam
when decelerating in phase 1.
If the reference cam extends up to the traversing end of the axis, an inadmissible starting
point for the referencing (after the cam) is excluded.
Reference cam adjustment

The reference cam must be adjusted exactly. The following factors influence the time response for recognition of the reference cam (IS Reference point approach delay):
Switching accuracy of the reference cam switch
Time delay of reference cam switch (normally closed contact)
Time delay at the PLC input
PLC cycle time
Internal processing time
Practice has shown that it is best to adjust the edge of the reference cam required for the
synchronization in the middle between two synchronuous pulses (zero marks). This can be
achieved as follows:
Set MD 34080: REFP_MOVE_DIST = MD 34090: REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR = MD

34100: REFP_SET_POS = 0.
Reference axis.
In JOG mode, traverse the axis by half the length of the distance to be traversed between
two zero marks. This distance is dependent on the leadscrew pitch S and the gear ratio n
(e.g.: S=10 mm/rev. , n=1:1 results in a distance to be traversed of 5 mm).
Adjust the cam switches such that the switching action is carried out exactly at this position (IS Reference point approach delay (V380x 1000.7).
Alternative, instead of shifting the cam switch, the value of MD 34092:

REFP_CAM_SHIFT can be changed.

Referencing using absolute encoders
Warning
8.3
If the reference cam is not adjusted exactly, it may happen that a false sychronuous pulse (zero mark) is evaluated. As a result, the control system is assigned an incorrect machine zero point and it will traverse the axes to
wrong positions. The software limit switches will be active at false positions and will therefore not be able to
protect the machine.
8.3.1
General
Prerequisites
Referencing of an axis using absolute encoders is carried out automatically when turning on
the control system and if the appropriate axis is recognized adjusted. This acceptance of the
absolute value is carried out without axis movement, e.g. at POWER ON. Two conditions
must be met for automatic referencing:
The axis has an absolute encoder for the position control.
The absolute encoder is adjusted (MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE=2)
Adjustment
In case of axes provided with absolute encoders, the measuring system is not synchronized
by approaching a reference cam. Instead of this, an adjustment is carried out. The actual value of the absolute encoder is set during the start - up once and accepted by the control system.
8.3.2
Operator - sssisted adjustment
General procedure
Move the axis to be adjusted to a defined position and then set the appropriate actual value.
Chronological sequence
1. Set MD 34200: ENC_REFP_MODE and MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE to 0 and enable

it by POWER ON. (MD: ENC_REFP_MODE = 0 means that the actual value of the axis is
set once.)
2. In JOG mode, traverse the axis manually to a known position. The direction in which the
position is approached must correspond to the direction defined in MD 34010:
REFP_CAM_DIR_IS_MINUS (0 = positive direction, 1 = negative direction).
8-146

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

8.3
Note
This known position must be approached at a slow velocity and always from a defined direction to make sure that this position is not invalidated by the backlash in the drive system.
3. Enter the actual value that corresponds to the position approached in MD 34100:
REFP_SET_POS. This value may be a specific design - related value (e. g. fixed stop), or
it can now be determined using a measuring system.
4. Set MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE to 1. This will enable the Adjustment function.
5. Press RESET to enable the changed machine data.
6. Change to JOG - REF mode.
7. Pressing the traversing key already used in step 2 will enter the current offset into
MD 34090:REF_MOVE_DIST_CORR, and MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE will change to
2, i.e. the axis is considered adjusted. (Pressing the traversing keys will also update the
display.)
Note
The axis will not move if the appropriate traversing key is pressed. The value entered in MD
34100: REFP_SET_POS will be displayed in the actual - value display of the axis position.
8. Quit JOG - REF mode; the axis is thus adjusted.

Adjusting the absolute encoder
Adjusting time
The adjustment determines the offset between the machine zero point and the encoder zero
point and stores it in a non - volatile memory. Normally, this adjustment must be made only
once during the commissioning. The control system will then know this value and can calculate the absolute machine position from the encoder absolute value at any time. This status is
characterized by
MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE=2.
The offset is stored in MD 34090: REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR (SRAM).
This adjustment must be repeated:
after removing/installing or replacing the encoder or the motor with motor - integrated encoder;
after switching over a gearbox (if any) between motor (with absolute encoder) and load;
generally, whenever the mechanical connection between encoder and load has been disconnected and has not been mounted exactly in the way it was.
CAUTION: The control system cannot detect all cases that require a re - adjustment! If the
control system detects it, it will note this by setting machine data MD 34210:
ENC_REFP_STATE to the value 0 or 1.
The following is detected: Switching over to a gear stage with a different transmission ratio
between encoder and load.
In any other cases the user himself must overwrite the machine data
MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE.
Data back - up
Saving the machine data will also save the state of MD 34210: ENC_REFP_STATE.
By loading such a data record, the axis is therefore automatically declared adjusted.
8-148
Warning
If the data record arises from another machine (e. g. in case of series machine start - up), an adjustment must be carried out after loading and enabling the data.

Incremental encoder with zero mark(s):
After detecting the zero reference mark, the axis is positioned away from the zero mark by the
distance MD 34080: REFP_MOVE_DIST + REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR. If this axis has been
traversed, the axis has reached its reference point. MD 34100: REFP_SET_POS is accepted as

During the traversing movement as defined in REFP_MOVE_DIST+REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR,
override switches are active

Absolute value encoder:
REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR acts as an absolute offset. It describes the offset between machine
zero point and the zero point of the absolute measuring system.
Note: The control system will change this machine data in conjunction with absolute encoders if
adjusting processes and modulo corrections are required.

REFP_CAM_SHIFT
Electronic reference cam offset for incremental measuring systems with equidistant zero marks
Unit: mm
When the reference cam signal occurs, the search for the zero mark is started not immediately, but with a delay after the distance defined in REFP_CAM_SHIFT has been traversed. This ensures the repeatability of the zero mark search even in case of a temperature- dependent extension of the reference cam by defined selection of a zero mark.
Since the reference cam offset is calculated by the control system in the interpolation
clock, the real cam offset is at least REFP_CAM_SHIFT and max.
REFP_CAM_SHIFT+(MD 34040: REFP_VELO_SEARCH_MARKER*interpolation clock)
The reference cam offset acts in the search direction of the zero mark.

The encoder limit frequency uses a hysteresis.
MD 36300: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT defines the encoder limit frequency at which the encoder is switched off, and ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW the frequency at which the encoder is switched on again.
ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW is a fraction of ENC_FREQ_LIMIT as a percentage.
Normally, the preselection of ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW is sufficient. When using absolute encoders with an En - Dat interface, however, the limit frequency of the absolute track is considerably
lower than the limit frequency of the incremental track. With a smaller value in
MD: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW, it can be achieved that the encoder is only switched on below the
limit frequency of the absolute track and therefore only referenced if this is permitted by the absolute track. For spindles, this referencing is carried out automatically.
Example EQN 1325:
Encoder limit frequency of the incremental track: 430 kHz
===>MD 36300: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT = 430,000 Hz
Limit frequency of absolute track approx. 2,000 encoder rpm at 2,048 increments, i.e. at a limit
frequency of (2000/60) * 2048 Hz = 68 kHz
===>MD 36302: ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW = 68/430 = 15 %

Manual Traversing and Handwheel Traversing

(H1)
9.1
General features when traversing in JOG mode
JOG mode
In JOG mode, the axes/spindle can be traversed by manual operation. The active operating
mode is signaled to the PLC via the IS Active mode: JOG (V3100 000.2) and is displayed
on the screen.
References:
Chapter Operating Modes, Program Mode
Traversing options
The axes can be traversed either using the traversing keys of a connected machine control
panel (manual traversing) or via connected handwheels (handwheel traversing).
It is possible either to use the keys to traverse all machine axes simultaneously (provided an
appropriate design of a user - specific machine control panel) or to traverse the axes using the
handwheel according to the number of handwheels connected.
In the case of this simultaneous movement of several machine axes, no interpolation is carried out between the axes.
Coordinate systems
The operator can traverse the axes in the following coordinate systems:
Machine coordinate system (MCS); each axis can be traversed manually.
Workpiece coordinate system (WCS); the geometry axes can be traversed manually.
Machine functions
There are the following variants of manual traversing (the so - called machine functions):
Continuous traversing
Incremental traversing (INC, specification of a certain number of traversing increments)

With metric scaling setting of the system, an increment is evaluated with 0.001 mm.
A machine function present at the machine control panel interface of the user must be converted by the PLC user program to the appropriate PLC/NCK interface. To this aim, the axis specific NCK/PLC interface must be used in the case of a machine axis/spindle, in the case
of a geometry axis, the channel - specific NCK/PLC interface, and for all axes/spindle and the
geometry axes the signals in the mode area (see also next Section).

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
9-161

9.1
Handwheel traversing
Traversing of the axes using the handwheel is also possible in the MCS or WCS. To evaluate
the handwheel pulses, set an incremental traversing method (INC...) (see Section 9.4).
Traversing the geometry axes

If workpieces are machined the workpiece coordinate system of which is not parallel to the
machine coordinate system (clamping at an angle, programmed rotation in the contour active), it is possible to traverse along the axes of the workpiece coordinate system using the
traversing keys or the handwheel. In this case, you will change from AUTO to JOG when the
axes are stopped and will traverse a geometry axis instead of a machine axis. In this case, 1
... 3 machine axes will move, depending on the active rotation of the workpiece coordinate
system.
While a machine axis traverses, it cannot additionally be traversed using the traversing keys
of a geometry axis; first, the traversing movement of the machine axis must be completed.
Otherwise, alarm 20062 Axis already active is output.
The handwheels 1 to 3 can be used to traverse 3 geometry axes simultaneously.
Note: Geometry axes are loaded with values via a separate, channel - specific PLC interface.
Transverse axis in conjunction with turning

A geometry axis is defined as a transverse axis. If radius programming (DIAMOF) is selected
here instead of diameter programming (DIAMON), the following must be observed when traversing in JOG mode:
Continuous traversing:
There are no differences when a transverse axis is transversed continuously.
Incremental traversing:
Only the half of the distance of the selected increment size is traversed.
Traversing using the handwheel:

As with incremental traversing, in this case, too, only the half of the distance is traversed
per handwheel pulse when using the handwheel.
References:
Section Transverse axis
Manual traversing of the spindle

In the JOG mode, it is also possible to traverse the spindle manually. This is subject mainly to
the same conditions as manual traversing of the axes. The spindles can be traversed continuously in JOG mode using the traversing keys/the IS continuous and/or INC.... The selection and enabling is carried out via the axis/spindle - specific PLC interface analogously to
the axes.
manual traversing of the spindle is possible noth in the positioning mode (spindle in position
control) and in control mode.
The parameter record (machine data) of the current gear stage will apply.

9-162
Chapter Spindle

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

9.1
Velocity
The velocity/speed of the axes/spindle on manual traversing in JOG mode is defined by the
following value specifications:
in the case of linear axes using the general SD 41110: JOG_SET_VELO (JOG velocity
with G94) and in the case of rotary axes using SD 41130: JOG_ROT_AX_SET_VELO
(JOG velocity with rotary axes) er SD 41200: JOG_SPIND_SET_VELO (JOG speed for
the spindle).
If the appropriate SD is zero, the appropriate axis - specific MD 32020: JOG_VELO (conventional axis velocity) will apply.
With geometry axes, the value of the assigned machine axis is used in this case: X - >X1,
Y - >Y1, Z - >Z1 (with default setting).
Rapid traverse override

If with machine axes the rapid traverse override key is pressed in addition to the traversing
keys, the movement is carried out at the rapid traverse rate defined in the axis - specific MD
32010: JOG_VELO_RAPID (axis velocity in JOG mode with rapid traverse override).
In the case of geometry axes, the value of the assigned machine axis is used: X - >X1,
Y - >Y1, Z - >Z1 (with default setting). To the control, the separate PLC interface range of the
geometry axes must be used.
Speed override
The speed in JOG mode can additionally be controlled using the axis - specific feed override
switch provided the axial IS Override active (V380X0001.7) is set.
In switch position 0%, the axis will not be traversed even if the IS Override active is not set.
In the case of geometry axes, the channel - specific feed override switch or, in the case of rapid traverse override, the rapid traverse override switch will be active.
If a spindle is used, the enabled spindle override switch will be active.
References:
Section Feed
Acceleration
The maximum axis acceleration is defined using the axis - specific MD 32300: MAX_AX_ACCEL. When traversing in JOG mode, it is also possible to set the acceleration according to a
specified characteristic. For possible settings, please refer to:
References:
Section Acceleration
PLC interface
For geometry axes (axes in the WCS), a separate PLC interface is provided (VB 3200 1000,
ff or VB 3300 1000, ff), which contains the same signals as the axis - specific PLC interface.

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
9-163

9.1
When traversing the spindle manually, the PLC interface signals between NCK and PLC act
analogously as with the machine axes. The IS Position reached with exact stop fine or coarse will only be set if the spindle is in position control mode.
For the purely spindle - specific interface signals, the following must be observed when traversing the spindle in JOG mode:
The following PLC interface signals provided to the spindle will not be active:
-
IS Invert M3/M4 (V380x2001.6)
IS Set direction of rotation CCW or Set direction of rotation CW (V380x2002.7 or .6)
The following PLC interface signals provided from the spindle will not be set:
-
IS Actual rotation CW (V390x2001.7)
Note
Pressing Reset will cancel the manual traversing movement (axis/spindle) and generate a
braking ramp.
Limitations
On manual traversing, the following limitations are active:
Working area limitation (axis must be referenced)
Software limit switches 1 or 2 (axis must be referenced)
Hardware limit switches
The control system internally ensures that the traversing movement is aborted once the first
valid limitation is reached. The velocity control ensures that the braking process is initiated in
due time so that the axis comes to a stop exactly at the limit position (e.g. software limit
switch). The axis will only be decelerated with Rapid stop if the hardware limit switch responds.
If the corresponding limitation is reached, an alarm message is output. A continuation of the
movement in this direction is internally prevented by the control system. The traversing keys
and the handwheel remain inactive for this direction.
Important
To ensure that the software limit switches and working area limitations are enabled, first the
axis must be referenced.
Machine manufacturer
The retraction of an axis that has approached the limit position depends on the machine manufacturer. Please refer to the Documentation of the machine manufacturer.
For further information on working area limitations, as well as hardware and software limit
switches, refer to:

Selection
Selecting JOG mode will automatically set the active machine function IS continuous:
with geometry axes: V3300 1001.6, V3300 1005.6, V3300 1009.6)
with machine axes/spindle: V390x0005.6.
In JOG mode, it is also possible to activate continuous traversing via the PLC interface (IS
Machine function: continuous).
The PLC determines in which signal area the INC/continuous signals are provided to the
NCK via the IS INC inputs in mode group area active (V26000001.0):
V26000001.0 = 1 - >
in the mode group area: VB30000002,

applicable to all axes
V26000001.0 = 0 - >
in the geometry/axis area:

VB32001001, VB32001005,
VB32001009, VB380x0005
Traversing keys +/ The traversing keys plus and minus will traverse the corresponding axis in the desired direction. PLC traversing key signals to NCK IS:
with geometry axes (traversing in the WCS):
V3200 1000.7 /.6, V3200 1004.7
/.6,
V3200 1008.7 /.6
with machine axes/spindle (traversing in MCS): V380x 004.7 /.6V32001000.7/.6.
Pressing both traversing keys of an axis at the same time will not result in a traversing movement or will stop an axis being traversed.
Traversing commands +/ Once a traversing request is provided for an axis (e.g. when the traversing key is pressed),
the IS Traversing command + or Traversing command - is output to the PLC, depending
on the direction of movement.
with geometry axes:
V3300 1000.7 /.6, V3300 1004.7 /.6, V3300 1008.7 /.6
with machine axes/spindle: V390x 004.7 /.6
Continuous traversing in non - maintained command mode

The axis will traverse as long as the traversing key is pressed unless no axis limitation is reached beforehand. When the traversing key is released, the axis is decelerated to the standstill, and the movement is considered completed.

9.3
9.3
Incremental traversing (INC)
Incremental traversing (INC)
Setting increments
The distance to be traversed by the axis is defined by so - called increments (also called incremental dimension). Before the machine operator traverses the axis, he must set the desired increment.
The setting is carried out, e.g. on the machine control panel. The IS Machine function: INC1
to INCvar corresponding to the desired increment must be set in the PLC user program after
an appropriate logic operation.
The PLC defines in which signal area the INC signals are provided to the NCK via the IS INC
inputs in mode group area active (V26000001.0):
V26000001.0 = 1 - >
in the mode group area: VB30000002,

applicable to all axes
V26000001.0 = 0 - >
in the geometry/axis area:

VB32001001, VB32001005,
VB32001009, VB380x0005
The active machine function: IS INC... is signaled from the NCK to the PLC:
with geometry axes: V3300 1001.0 , V3300 1005.0, V3300 1009.0 to .5
with machine axes/spindle: V390x 0005.0 to .5
Settable increments
The operator can set different increment sizes. These divide into:
fixed increments whose increment sizes are common for all axes: INC1, INC10, INC100,
INC1000 (only via IC: INC10000 ).
and a variable increment (INCvar). Specifying an increment for a variable increment is

also possible together for all axes using the general SD: JOG_VAR_INCR_SIZE (size of
the variable increment with INC/handwheel).
Incremental traversing in the non - maintained command mode

Pressing the traversing key for the desired direction (e.g. +), the axis starts to traverse the set
increment. If the traversing key is released before the increment has been traversed completely, the movement is interrupted and the axis stops. If the same traversing key is pressed
again, the axis will traverse the remaining distance to go. The movement can also be interrupted by releasing the traversing key.
Pressing the traversing key in the opposite direction will have no effect unless the increment
has not been traversed completely or the movement has been canceled.
Traversing keys and traversing command

as with continuous traversing (see Section 9.2)
Aborting the traversing movement

If you wish not to traverse the increment completely, use RESET or the axis - specific IS Delete axis distance to go (V380x0002.2) to abort the movement.

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

9.4
9.4
Handwheel traversing in JOG mode
Selection
JOG mode must be active. In addition, the operator must set the increment INC1, INC10, ...
active when traversing using the handwheel.
A maximum of 3 handwheels can be connected. It is thus possible to move simultaneously
and independently up to 3 axes using handwheels.
The geometry or machine axes (WCS or MCS) is assigned a handwheel via interface signals.
Which axis is traversed by turning the handwheel 1 ... 3, can be set:
via the PLC user interface with the IS Enable handwheel 1 to 3

with a machine axis (traversing in the MCS):
V380x 0004.0 to .2
with a geometry axis (traversing in the WCS): V3200 0000.0 to .2, V3200 0004.0 to .2,
V3200 0008.0 to .2
The linking to the PLC interface is carried out by the PLC user program. It is possible to
assign a handwheel several machine axes at a time
or via menu - assisted operation (HMI)

When the softkey Handwheel is pressed in the main menu of JOG mode, the window
Hand - wheel will be displayed. In this window, each handwheel can be assigned an axis
(WCS or MCS).
To activate the handwheel from the operator panel (HMI), a separate user interface is provided between HMI and PLC. This interface provided by the PLC basic program for handwheels 1 to 3 contains the following information:
the axis numbers assigned to the corresponding handwheel

IS Axis number of handwheel n (VB19001003, ff)
the additional information machine or geometry axis

IS Machine axis (VB19001003.7, ff)
The PLC user program must set the appropriate IS Enable handwheel either to 0 (Disable)
or to 1 (Enable) for the given axis.
Specification as a path or as a velocity

Turning the electronic handwheel will traverse the assigned axis either in the positive direction or in the negative direction, depending on the direction of rotation.
The specification type of the handwheel can be set and thus adapted to the particular application using the general MD 11346: HANDWH_TRUE_DISTANCE (handwheel path or velocity specification).
MD value=0 (default):
The handwheel specifications are velocity specifications. The braking process when the
handwheel stops is carried out on the shortest path.
MD value=1 :
The handwheel specifications are path specifications. No pulse are lost. Due to a limitation to
the maximum admissible velocity, the axes may follow up. This should be taken into account
in particular in the case of a high handwheel pulse weighting.
Further variants of path or velocity specification are possible using value =2 or 3.

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
9-167

9.4
Weighting
The resulting distance to be traversed (=path)/velocity when turning the handwheel depends
on the following factors:
Number of handwheel pulses received at the interface
Active increment (machine function INC1, INC10, INC100, ... )

With metric system scaling setting, one increment is weighted with 0.001 mm.
Pulse weighting of handwheel using the general MD: HANDWH_IMP_PER_LATCH

(handwheel pulses per lathc position)
Traversing commands +/ During the axis movement, the IS Traversing command + or Traversing command - is provided to the PLC, depending on the direction of movement.
with geometry axes: V3300 1000.7/.6, V3300 1004.7/6, V3300 1008.7/.6
with machine axes/spindle: V390x 004.7/.6.
If the axis is already traversed using the traversing keys, additional handwheel traversing is
not possible. The alarm 20051 Handwheel traversing not possible is output.
Velocity
The velocity results from the pulses generated using the handwheel and the pulse weighting:
Distance to be traversed per time unit.
This velocity is limited by the value in the axis - specific
MD 32000: MAX_AX_VELO.
Aborting/interrupting the traversing movement

RESET or the axis - specific IS Delete distance to go (V380x0002.2) will abort the traversing
movement. The current set/actual difference are deleted.
The NC STOP command will only interrupt the traversing movement. Pressing NC START
will re - enable the handwheel movement.
Traversing in the opposite direction

Depending on MD 11310: HANDWH_REVERSE, the behavior when reversing the traversing
direction is as follows:
9-168
MD value =0:
If the handwheel is rotated in the opposite direction, the resulting distance to be traversed
is calculated and the end point calculated in this way is approached as fast as possible: If
this end point is before the point to which the traversing axis can brake with the traversing
direction currently selected, the axis will decelerate, and the end point will be approached
by traversing in the opposite direction. Otherwise, the newly calculated end point will be
approached immediately.
MD value >0:
If the handwheel is rotated by at least the number of pulses specified in the machine data,
the axis will be decelerated as fast as possible, and all pulses ariving until the end of the
interpolation will be ignored, ie. the axis will be traversed again only after the standstill (as
far as the setpoint is concerned).

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

9.4
Behavior at software limit switch/working area limitation

When traversing in JOG mode, the axes are traversed only to the first active limitation and
the appropriate alarm is output. Depending on the machine data MD 11310: HANDWH_REVERSE, the behavior is as follows (provided the axis has not yet reached its setpoint end
position):
MD value =0:
The distance to go resulting from the handwheel pulses constitutes a fictive end point
which will be used for the calculations to follow. If this fictive end point is, e.g. 10 mm behind the limitation, these 10 mm must only be traversed in the opposite direction before
the axis will be able to traverse. If you wish to traverse from the limitation immediately in
the opposite direction again, the fictive distance to go can be deleted either by deleting
the distance to go or deselecting the handwheel assignment.
MD value >0:
All handwheel pulses resulting in any end point behind the limitation will be ignored. Moving the handwheel in the opposite direction will immediately result in traversing in the
opposite direction, i.e. from the limitation away.

With this matching, each handwheel latch position has the same effect as a traversing key would
have been pressed on incremental traversing.
A negative value will result in a direction reversal of the handwheel rotation.

for geometry axis 1

for geometry axis 2

In JOG mode, the traversing keys plus and minus can be used to traverse the selected axis in
both directions.
Incremental traversing
With signal state 1, the axis starts to traverse the set increment. If the signal changes
to 0 status before the increment has been traversed, the traversing movement will be
aborted. If the signal state is 1 again, the traversing movement will be continued.
Until the increment is traversed completely, the traversing movement of the axis can
be stopped and continued several times as described.
If no INC dimension is selected, the axis will traverse as long as the traversing axis
remains pressed.
If both traversing signals (plus and minus) are set at the same time, no traversing movement is
carried out or the traversing movement is aborted.
The effect of the traversing keys can be disabled for each axis separately using the PLC interface signal Traversing key lock.
CAUTION: In contrast to machine axes, with geometry axes it is possible to traverse only
one geometry each simultaneously. If you try to traverse more than one
geometry axis using the traversing keys, alarm 20062 will be output.

Handwheel active (1 to 3)
These PLC interface signals are used whether the machine axis is assigned handwheel 1, 2, 3
or no handwheel.
If several interface signals Activate handwheel are set, the priority is Handwheel 1 before
If the assignment is active, the machine axis can be traversed in JOG mode using the handwheel.
This machine axis is not assigned handwheel 1, 2 or 3.

IS Handwheel selected from HMI (V19000003, ff)
Traversing commands plus and minus

A traversing movement is to be carried out in the axis direction concerned. The traversing command is initiated in different ways, depending on the operating mode.
- JOG mode: using the traversing key plus or minus
- REF submode: using the traversing key leading to the reference point
- AUTO/MDA modes: A program block that contains a coordinate value for the axis
concerned is carried out.
No traversing request is currently pending for the axis direction concerned or a traversing movement carried out has been completed.
JOG mode:
- The traversing key is cancaled.
- When quitting traversing using the handwheel
- REF submode: when the reference point is reached
AUT/MDA modes:
- The program block has been executed (and the next following program block does not
contain a coordinate value for the axis concerned)
- Abortion by RESET, etc.
- IS Axis lock is provided
Release of the clamping of the axes (in case of axes with clamping) (e.g. with rotary tables).
Note: If the clamping is released only with the traversing command, no continuous - path
mode is possible for these axes.

A signal is fed back to the PLC interface which machine function is active for the geometry axes
in JOG mode.
The appropriate machine function is not active.

Brief description
Program mode
Program mode is provided if part programs or part program blocks are processed in either of
the modes AUTOMATIC or MDA. During the program execution, the program sequence can
be manipulated by PLC interface signals and commands.
Channel
A channel is a unit in which a part program can be processed.
The system assigns the channel an interpolator with related program execution. A certain
operating mode will apply.
The SINUMERIK 802D control system possesses one channel.

Operating modes
10.2
Operating modes
Enabling
The desired operating mode is enabled via the interface signals in VB3000 0000. There is no
priority if several operating modes are selected at the same time:
JOG (high priority): Traversing of the axes by manual operation of the hand wheel or traversing keys. Channel - specific signals and interlocks are not taken into account.
MDA: Program blocks can be executed.
AUTOMATIC (low priority): Automatic execution of part programs
Check - back signal

The active mode is indicated via the interface signals in VB 3100 0000.
Possible machine functions

The following machine functions can be selected in JOG mode:
REF (reference point approach)
The desired machine function is activated by the IS REF (V300 00001.2). The display can
be seen in the IS Active machine function REF (V3100 0001.2).
Stop
The IS NC Stop (V3200 0007.3), IS NC Stop for axes and spindles (V3200 0007.4) or NC
Stop at block border (V3200 0007.2) can be used to provide a stop signal. Depending on the
stop signal selected either only the axes or, in addition, also the spindle or the axes are stopped at block end.
RESET
The IS Reset (V3000 0000.7) will abort the active part program.
The following actions are carried out after the IS Reset:
The part program preparation is stopped immediately.
Axes and spindles are stopped.
Any auxiliary functions of the current block not yet output at this moment are no longer
output.
The block pointer is reset to the beginning of the corresponding part program.
All reset alarms are deleted from the display.
The reset is completed if the IS Channel status: Reset (V3300 0003.7) is set.
Ready to operate
Readiness for operation is displayed by the IS 802 - Ready (V 3100 0000.3).

Operating modes
Mode change
General
A mode change is requested and activated via the interface.
Note
The mode will only be changed internally in the control system if Channel status active
(IS V3300 0003.5) is no longer provided.
In the channel status Reset (IS V3300 0003.7), e.g. after pressing the RESET key, it is possible to switch over from one mode to another.
In the channel status Interrupted (IS V3300 0003.6), switching over is bound to certain
conditions (see Table 10 - 1).
If you quit AUTO to switch over to JOG, you must return to AUTO or press RESET. A change
AUTO - JOG - MDA is thus impossible. The same applies to MDA from which you can neither
directly nor indirectly change to AUTO unless the RESET status is not provided.
For the operating mode changes possible according to the current operating mode and the
channel status (Channel in reset or Channel interrupted), please refer to the following Table.

Errors on mode change

If a mode change request has been denied by the system, an appropriate error message is
output. This error message can be cleared without changing the channel.
Mode change lock

The IS Mode change lock (V3000 0000.4) can be used to disable the mode change. The
signal acts such that the mode change request is already suppressed.

10.3.1
Execution of a part program

Program mode and part program selection
Definition
Program mode means that a part program is carried out in the AUTOMATIC mode and/or
program blocks are carried out in MDA mode.
Program manipulation
During program mode, it is possible to manipulate the program mode from the PLC via interface signals. The manipulation is carried out using mode - specific or channel - specific interface signals.
The channel advises the PLC of its current program mode status.
Selection
The selection of a part program can only be carried out if the channel concerned is in the RESET
status.
The part program can be selected as follows:
10.3.2
via the operation (Machine operating area) / Program manager
via the PLC
by selecting a program via the program number in Program list (see Manual Operating and Programming..., Chapter 7)
by reselecting an active program via the PLC - HMI interface (see Section 19.5)
Starting the part program or part program block
START command, channel status

The channel - specific IS NC Start (V3200 0007.1), which is normally controled by an MCP
key NC Start, will start the program execution.
The START command will only be executed in the modes AUTOMATIC and MDA. To this
aim, the channel must be in the status Channel status: RESET (V3300 0003.7) or Channel
status: Interrupted (V3300 0003.6).

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
10-191

10.3
Required signal statuss

The selected part program can only be enabled for execution with the START command.
The following enable signals will apply:
IS 802 - Ready must be set (V3100 0000.3)
IS Activate program test may not be set (V3200 0001.7)
IS NC START inhibited may not be reset (V3200 0007.0)
IS NC STOP at block border may not be set (V3200 0007.2)
IS NC Stop may not be set (V32000007.3)
IS NC Stop axes and spindle may not be set (V3200 0007.4)
IS EMERGENCY STOP may not be set (V2700 0000.1)
Axis or NCK alarm may not be present
Execution of the command

The part program or the part program block is executed automatically and the IS Channel
status active (V3300 0003.5) and the IS Program status: running (V3300 0003.0) are set.
The program is processed as long as the program end is reached and/or the channel is interrupted and/or aborted by a STOP or RESET command.
Alarms
The START command will not come into effect if this prerequisite is not fulfilled. In this case
one of the following alarms will occur: 10200, 10202, 10203
10.3.3
Part program interruption
Channel status
The STOP command can only be executed if the channel concerned is in the status Channel
active (V3300 0003.5).
STOP commands
There are various commands to stop the program execution and to set the channel status to
Interrupted. These are:
10-192
IS NC STOP at block border (V3200 0007.2)
IS NC STOP (V3200 0007.3)
IS NC STOP axes and spindle (V3200 0007.4)
IS Single block (V3200 0000.4)
Programming command M0 and/or M1 and the appropriate enabling

6FC5 697 - 2AA10- 0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

10.3
Execution of the command

If the STOP command has been executed, the IS Program status: Stopped (V3300 0003.2)
and the IS Program status: Interrupted (V3300 0003.3) are set. If another START command
is provided, the interrupted part program can be continued from the interruption position.
Generally, the following actions can be executed after the STOP command has been provided:
10.3.4
Stopping the part program execution at the next block border (with NC Stop at the block
border, M0/M1 or single block); any other STOP commands will stop it immediately.
Any auxiliary functions of the current block which are not yet output at this moment will no
longer be output.
The axes are stopped and the part program execution is also stopped.
The block pointer remains stopped at the interruption position.
RESET command
Function
The RESET command (IS Reset (V3000 0000.7)) can be executed in each channel status.
This command cannot be interrupted by any other command.
A RESET command allows to abort an active part program and/or part program blocks. After
execution of the RESET command, the IS Channel status: Reset (V3300 0003.7) and the IS
Program status: Aborted (V3300 0003.4) are set.
It is now no longer possible to continue the part program from the interruption position. All
axes in the channel are at exact stop.
After the RESET command, the following actions are carried out:
The part program preparation is stopped immediately.
Axes and (if any) the spindle are decelerated.
Any auxiliary functions of the current block, which are not yet output at this moment, will
not be output any more.
The block pointer is reset to the beginning of the corresponding part program.
All alarms will be deleted from the display if they are not POWER ON alarms.

Program control
Selection/activation
The user can control the execution of the part program from the operator interface. In the
Program control menu (AUTOMATIC mode, operating area Position), certain functions can
be selected, whereas some functions have an influcence on PLC interface signals. These
interface signals are merely to be understood as selection signals from the user interface.
They will not yet activate the selected function.
In order to render the selected functions active, these signal states must be transferred to a
different area. For a manipulation on the part of the PLC, these signals must be set directly.

For testing a new part program, various control functions are provided. These functions considerably reduce any hazards to the machine during the test phase and also reduce the required time. It is possible to enable several program test functions at the same time.
The following test possibilities will be described in the following:
10.4.2
Program execution without axis movements
Program execution in single block mode
Program execution with dry run feed
Execution of certain program sections
Skipping of certain program parts
Graphic simulation
Program execution without axis movements (PRT)
Functionality
With the Program Test function active, the part program can be started and executed using
the IS NC Start (V32000007.1), i.e. including auxiliary function output, dwell times, etc. Merely the axes/spindle are simulated. The safety function of the software limit switches remains
active.
The position control is not interrupted so that the axes need not be referenced after switching - off of the function.
The user can thus check the programmed axis positions and the auxiliary function outputs of
a part program.
NOTE: The program execution without axis movements can also be enabled together with
the function Dry run feed.
Selection/enabling
This function is selected using the user interface in the menu Program control. With the selection, the IS Program test selected (V1700 0001.7) is set.
The function must be enabled by the PLC user program using the IS Enable program test
(V3200 0001.7).

Program test
Display
As a check - back message that the program test function is active, PRT is displayed in the
status line of the operator interface and the IS Program test active (V3300 0001.7) is set in
the PLC.
10.4.3
Program execution in single block mode
Functionality
The user can use this function to execute a part program step by step and check the individual machining steps. If he has found the executed part program block to be correct, he can
request the next block. Progression to the next part program block is carried out via the IS
NC Start
(V3200 0007.1).
With the single block function activated, however, the execution of the part program will stop
after each program block. The program status will change to Program status: Stopped. The
channel status remains set active.
Single block type

The following single block types are distinguished:
Single block coarse

With this single block type, all blocks that initiate actions (traversing movements, auxiliary
function outputs, etc.) are executed separately. If the tool radius compensation is enabled
(G41,G42), the program execution will stop after each intermediate block inserted by the
control system. In case of computational blocks, however, the program execution will not
be stopped, since they do not initiate any actions.
Single block fine

With this single block type, all blocks of the part program (also the pure computational
blocks without traversing movements) are executed one after the other by NC Start.
Single block coarse is the default setting when the control system is turned on.
Caution
For a series of G33 blocks, single block is only active if DRY RUN FEED is selected.
Selection/enabling
As a rule, the selection signal comes from a user machine control panel.
This function must be enabled from the PLC user program via the IS Enable single block
(V3200 0000.4).
The selection Single block coarse or Single block fine is made on the user interface in the
Program control menu.

Program test
Display
As a check - back message of active single block mode, SBL is displayed in the appropriate
field of the user interface.
Once the part program execution has completed a part program block in single block mode,
the IS Channel status: Interrupted (V3300 0003.6) and the IS Program status: Stopped
(V3300 0003.2) are set and the IS Channel status: Active (V3300 0003.5) and the IS Program status: Running (V3300 0003.0) are reset.
10.4.4
Program execution with Dry Run Feed (DRY)
Functionality
The part program can be started via the IS NC Start (V3200 0007.1). With the function enabled, the traversing rates that have been programmed in conjunction with G1, G2, G3, CIP,
CT, are replaced by the feed value stored in SD 42100: DRY_RUN_FEED. The dry run feed
will also be used instead of the programmed revolutional feed in program blocks with G95. If,
however, the programmed feed is greater than the dry run feed, the larger value will be used.
Caution
If the function Dry run feed is enabled, no workpiece machining must be carried out, since the
cutting rates of the tools may be exceeded and/or the workpiece or the machine tool may be destroyed due to the changed feed values.
Selection/enabling
The operation with dry run feed is selected in the operating area Position - > softkey Program control (AUTOMATIC mode). This selection will set the IS Dry run feed selected
(V17000000.7). In addition, the desired value of the dry run feed must be entered in the setting data menu. This will, however, not yet enable the function.
The function is enabled using the IS Enable dry run feed (V3200 0000.4) and is evaluated
with NC Start.
The dry run feed must have been entered in SD 42100: DRY_RUN_FEED before program
start.
Display
As a check - back message of active dry run feed, DRY is displayed in the status line of the
user interface.

10.4.5
Program test
Block search: Execution of certain program sections
Functionality
To position the control system on a certain block (target block) of a part program, the Block
search function can be used.. When doing so, it can be selected whether or not during the
block search to the target block the same calculations are to be carried out as in normal program mode.
After the target block has been reached, the program can be started via the IS NC Start (to
be provided 2x) (V3200 0007.1). If necessary an automatic compensation movement of the
axes to the starting or end position of the target block is carried out. Then the program is continued.
Note: Make absolutely sure that a collision - free starting position and the appropriate technological values are provided and that the appropriate tools are enabled. If necessary first a
collision - free starting position must be approached using JOG mode. Select the target block
with due consideration of the selected block search type.
Selection/enabling
The block search function is selected from the operator interface in AUTOMATIC mode.
The block search function can be enabled for the following functions using the appropriate
softkey:
Block search with calculation at the contour

Is used to be able to approach the contour in any situation. NC Start is used to approach
the starting position of the target block or the end position of the block prior to the target block. This will be traversed up to the end position. The execution of this block is carried out true to the contour.
Block search with calculation at the block end point

is used to be able to approach the target position (e. g. tool change position) in any situation. The end point of the target block or the next programmed position is approached
using the interpolation type valid in the target block. This will not be carried out true to the
contour. Only the axes programmed in the target block will be approached.
Block search without calculation

is used for quick search in the main program.
No calculation is carried out. The control - internal values are in the states as prior to the
block search. Whether or not a processing can be carried out, depends on the program
and must be decided by the operator.
This block search type is especially suited to carry out fast syntax checks for new programs.

are set according to the time sequence shown in Fig. 10 - 2.
Note
The IS Approach block active will only be set in case of Block search with calculation at the contour, since in case of Block search with calculation at the block end point no separate approach
block is generated (approach block is identical to target block).

Time sequence of interface signals
After the IS Block search with calculation at the block end point and from the moment Last
action block active until the part program execution is continued by NC Start, no automatic
repositioning is executed. The start point of the current axis position is NC Start, and the end
point results from the execution of the part program.
Action blocks
Action blocks contain the actions accumulated during Block search with calculation, such as
auxiliary function outputs, tool (T, D), spindle (S), feed programming.
During Block search with calculation (contour or block end point), actions, such as the output of M functions, are accumulated in so - called action blocks. These blocks are output with
NC Start after Searched block found.
Note
With the action blocks, the accumulated spindle programming (S value, M3/M4/M5, SPOS) will also
become active. It must be guaranteed by the PLC user program that the tool can be operated and
the spindle programming is reset via the IS Spindle reset(V380x0002.2).

10.4
Program test
PLC actions after block search

To enable PLC actions to be activated after block search, the IS Last action block active is
provided. It is intended to make sure that all action blocks are executed and actions on side
of the PLC or the operator (e.g. mode change) are now possible. For example, the PLC can
carry out tool change before the movement is started.
By default, at this moment the alarm 10208 is output. This will tell the operator that NC Start
is required to continue the program.
Supplementary condition
The approach movement Block search with calculation at the block end point is carried out
using the interpolation type valid for the target block. Reasonably, it should be G0 or G1. With
other interpolation types, the approach movement can be aborted with alarm (e. g. circle end
point error with G2/G3).
Note
For further information on the function Block search, please refer to:

Program test
Selection/enabling
The skip function is selected on the user interface from the menu Program control. The selection will set the IS Skip block (V1700 0002.0). In addition, a slash / must be put in front
of the block to be skipped (see Fig. 10 - 3). This will, however, not yet enable the function.
The activation of the function is carried out via the IS Enable block skip (V3200 0002.0).
Display
As a check - back message of the activated function Skip block, SKP is displayed in the
status line of the user interface.
10.4.7
Graphical simulation
Function
A selected and opened program can be simulated graphically on the screen of the control
system in the AUTOMATIC mode. The motions of the programmed axes are recorded as broken - line graphics after actuating NC Start.
Selection/deselection
The graphical simulation is accessible for the program selected via the operating area Program, Load program and using the Simulation softkey. At the same time, the IS Simulation active (V1900 0000.6) is set and is reset again when quitting the operating area Program or changing over to Edit.
Display
Various operating options are provided to show an entire workpiece or simply a magnified
section of the workpiece on the screen.
References:
PLC user program

The PLC user program must manipulate the desired behavior of the control system during
simulation by itself, for example:
Stopping the axes/spindle by changing to program test: Set IS Enable program test
(V3200 0001.7)
Abortion of the running program if Simulation is quitted by setting the IS Reset

(V300 00000.7), etc.
Display machine data

Various display machine data are provided for user - specific design of graphic simulation
(MD 283 to MD 292).

10.5
Timer for program runtime
Function
The function Program runtime provides timers that can be used for the monitoring of technological processes in the program or simply on the display.
These timers are read - only timers. There are timers that are always active; other timers are
activated via machine data.
Timers - always active

Time since the last booting of the CNC with default values ( in minutes ):
$AN_SETUP_TIME
With Power - up of control system with default values, the timer is automatically set to
zero.
Time since the last power - up of the control system ( in minutes ):

$AN_POWERON_TIME
In this case, the control system is automatically set to zero with each power up of the control.
Timers that can be disabled

These timers can be enabled using machine data (default setting).
The start is timer - specific. Each active runtime measurement is automatically interrupted
whe the program is stopped or if feed override=zero.
The behavior of the enabled time measurements when dry run feed and program test are
active can be defined by means of machine data.
Overall runtime of NC programs in automatic mode ( in seconds ):

$AC_OPERATING_TIME
The runtimes of all programs between NC start and program end / reset are summed up
in Automatic mode. The timer is set to zero with each power - up of the control system.
Runtime of the selected NC program ( in seconds ):

$AC_CYCLE_TIME
The runtime between NC start and program end/reset is measured in the selected NC
program. The timer is deleted when a new NC program is started.
Tool cutting time ( in seconds ):

$AC_CUTTING_TIME
The runtime of the path axes without active rapid traverse is measured in all NC programs
between NC start and program end / reset when the tool is active.
The measurement is additionally interrupted when the dwell time is active.
The timer is automatically set to zero with each power - up of the control system.
Power - up with default values will set the timer to zero automatically.

Workpiece counter
Function
The function Workpiece counter provides counters which can be used to count workpieces.
These counters exist as channel - specific system variables with read/write access from the
program or operator panel (observe the protection level for writing).
The range of values is: 0 to 999 999 999.
Channel - specific machine data MD 27880: PART_COUNTER and
MD 27882: PART_COUNTER_MCODE can be used to control the counter activation, the
time of resetting to zero and the counting algorithm.
Counters
10-206
Number of the required workpieces ( workpiece setpoint number ):

$AC_REQUIRED_PARTS
This counter can be used to define the number of workpieces at which the number of current workpieces $AC_ACTUAL_PARTS is set to zero.
MD 27880: PART_COUNTER (bit 1) can be used to activate the generation of the display
alarm 21800 Workpiece setpoint number reached and the output of the IS Workpiece
setpoint number reached (V330040002.1).
Total number of workpieces manufactured ( total actual number ):

$AC_TOTAL_PARTS
The counter indicates the number of all workpieces manufactured from the start time.
Number of current workpieces ( current actual number ):

$AC_ACTUAL_PARTS
This counter registers the number of all workpieces manufactured from the start time.
When the workpiece setpoint number is reached ( $AC_REQUIRED_PARTS ), the timer
is automatically set to zero ( provided that $AC_REQUIRED_PARTS is unequal to 0.).
Number of workpieces specified by the user:

$AC_SPECIAL_PARTS
This counter allows the user to carry out workpiece counting according to his own definition. An alarm output can be defined in case of identity with
$AC_REQUIRED_PARTS ( workpiece setpoint number ). The user must reset the counter
to zero by himself.

Meaning:
This machine data describes the admissible absolute circle difference.

With circle programming, the radius from the programmed center point to the start point or to
the end point are usually not equal (the circle is overdetermined). The max. permissible
difference of these two radii accepted without an alarm is determined by the greater value in
the following data:
- MD: CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST
- Start radius multiplied with 0.001
This means that the tolerance for small circles is a fixed value (MD: CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST) and for large circles, it is proportional to the start radius.
Application example
MD 21000: CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST = 0.01 mm

With this MD value and a radius of 10 mm, the constant will apply, and with > 10 mm, the
proportional factor will apply.

DRY_RUN_FEED
SD number
Dry run feed
Default: 5000
Min. input limit: 0
Data type: DOUBLE
Unit: mm/min
Meaning:
To test a part program with reference to the distance to be traversed (without a workpiece to
be machined), the operator can enable the function Dry run feed from the operator interface
(softkey Program control). The value of this setting data will then be accepeted instead of the
programmed feed value. Feed override values will not be modified.
The dry run feed value can be entered in the Setting Data menu.
The function is only active in the modes AUTOMATIC and MDA.
dry run feed function not enabled
Check of distances to be traversed with new part programs
Special cases, errors, ...
The function may not be enabled if a workpiece is to be machined. Due to the fact that dry run
feed is enabled, the max. cutting speed of the tool could be exceeded. This may destroy the
workpiece and the tool.

802- READY
This signal is set after Mains Power On and all voltages have been established. The operating
mode group is now ready for operation, and part programs can be executed in the channel
and/or axes can be traversed.
The operating mode group / channel is not ready for service. Possible causes are:
- a serious axis or spindle alarm is present
- hardware fault
- mode group configured not correctly (machine date)
If Mode group ready changes to signal status 0,
- the axis and spindle drives are decelerated to a standstill at the maximum braking current;
- the signals from the PLC to the NCK are set to the active status (clear position).
An alarm that cancels the IS 802 - READY ensures that the channel is no longer in the RESET

Feed (V1)
11.1
Feedrate F
Functionality
The feedrate F is the tool path velocity of the tool along the programmed workpiece contour. The individual axis velocities result from the portion of the axis path in the total distance
to be traversed along the contour.
The feed F is active for the interpolation types G1, G2, G3, CIP,CT and remains stored in a
program until a new F word is programmed.
References:
Measuring unit for F: G94, G95

The unit of the F word is determined by G functions:
G94
F as the feed in mm/min or inch/min
|G95
F as the feed in mm/spindle rotation

or inch/rev. (is only useful if the spindle is running)
The inch unit system applies to G700 or to the system setting inch with
MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC =0.
Unit for F with G96, G97

For turning machines, the group that contains G94, G95, is extended by the functions G96,
G97 for the constant cutting rate (ON/OFF). These functions have an additional influence
on the S word.
With the function G96 enabled, the spindle speed is matched with the diameter of the workpiece (transverse axis) currently machined such that a programmed cutting rate S remains
constant at the tool edge (spindle speed by diameter = constant).
From block G96, the S word will be evaluated as the cutting rate. G96 is modally active until it
is canceled by another G function of the group (G94, G95, G97).
The feed F is always rated in the measuring unit mm/revolution or inch/revolution (as with
G95).
Maximum tool path velocity

The maximum tool path velocity results from the maximum velocities of the axes involved
(MD 32000: MAX_AX_VELO) and their portion in the total distance to be traversed. The maximum axis velocity defined in the MD may not be exceeded.

Feedrate F
Feed override with circles CFC

When machining circle contours using milling tools and with the tool radius compensation
(G41/G42) enabled, the feedrate must be corrected at the cutter tool center to ensure that the
programmed F value acts at the circle contour. With the feed override CFC enabled, internal
and external machining are detected automatically.
CFTCP can be used to switch off the feed override.
References:
Interface signals
With revolutional feed active, the IS Revolutional feed active (V33000001.2) is set.
If the G96 function is enabled, the IS Constant cutting rate active (V390x 2002.0) is set for
the spindle.
Alarms
If no F word is programmed with G1, G2, G3, ... , alarm 10860 is output. No axis movement can be carried out. However, note SD 42110: DEFAULT_FEED.
If F0 is programmed, alarm 14800 is output.
If the spindle has stopped with G95 active, no axis movement can be carried out. No
alarm is output.
With the Dry run feed function enabled and the program started, the feedrates programmed in conjunction with G1, G2, G3, CIP and CT are replaced by the feedrate value defined in
SD 42100: DRY_RUN_FEED.
References: Section 10.4.4 Program execution with dry run feed
The velocity of the traversing movement of an axis in JOG mode is defined by machine
data/setting data. For a detailed description of the velocities including possible rapid traverse override, please refer to:
References: Chapter 9 Manual Traversing and Handwheel Traversing
Notes
11.1.1
Feed with G33 (thread cutting)
Velocity of the axes

For G33 threads, the velocity of the axes for the thread length results from the set spindle
speed and the programmed thread pitch. The limit frequency defined in MD 32000:
MAX_AX_VELO , however, cannot be exceeded.
The feed F will not apply in this case. It remains, however, stored.
The axis velocity, e.g. for a cylinder thread, results from the preset spindle speed (S ) and the
programmed thread pitch (e.g. K):
Fz [mm/min] = speed S [rpm] * thread lead K[mm/rev.]

NC STOP and Single Block are active only at the end of a velocity chain.
Information
11.1.2
The spindle override switch should remain unchanged when machining a thread.
The feed override switch has no meaning in a block that contains G33.
Feed with G63 (tapping with compensating chuck)
Feed F
With G63, a feedrate F must be programmed. It must match with the selected spindle speed
S (programmed or set) and with the thread lead of the tap:
Feed F[mm/min] = speed S [rpm] x thread lead [mm/rev.]
The compensating chuck compensates any path differences of the tap axis to a certain degree.

11.1.3
Feed with G331, G332 (rigid tapping = tapping without compensating

chuck)
References:
Axis velocity
For G331/G332 - tapping - , the axis velocity for the thread length results from the active
spindle speed S and the programmed thread lead. The limit frequency defined in
MD 32000: MAX_AX_VELO, however, cannot be exceeded.
The feed F will not apply here. It remains, however, stored.
References:
Interface signal
With the G331/G332 function active, the IS Rigid tapping active (V390x 2002.3) is set for
the spindle.
Note
It is only possible to work without a compensating chuck if spindle and axis involved have
been matched another to one exactly. With G331/G332, parameter record n (0...5) of the axis
will automatically come into effect which is also active for the current gear stage of the
spindle (M40, M41 to M45 - see also Chapter 5 Spindle). As a rule, the axis of the more
inert spindle will also be matched accordingly.

Rapid traverse G0
Rapid traverse G0
Application
The rapid traverse movement G0 is used for quick positioning of the tool, not for direct workpiece machining.
All axes can be traversed simultaneously. This results in a straight contour.
The maximum velocity (rapid traverse) is defined in the machine data
(MD 32000:MAX_AX_VELO ). If only one axis traverses, it will traverse at its rapid traverse.
If, for example, two path axes are traversed at the same time, the tool path velocity (resulting
velocity) is selected such that the largest tool path velocity results taking into account both
axes.
For example, if two axes have maximum velocity and have also to be traversed the same
distance, the tool path velocity will be 1.41 * max. axis velocity (geometrical total of the two
axis components).
The feedrate F will not apply with G0. It remains, however, stored.

The operating range Position -> softkey Program control can be enabled in AUTOMATIC
mode so that the override switch for the feed is also active for rapid traverse. If the function is
active, ROV is displayed in the status line. The IS Feed override selected for rapid traverse (V1700 0001.3) is provided from the HMI to the PLC. This signal must be provided by
the PLC user program to the IS Rapid traverse override active (V3200 0006.6).

Possibilites of feed programming and feed control
Feed disable and feed/spindle stop
General
Feed disable and Feed/spindle stop will stop the axes. The path contour will be observed
(exception: G33 block).
Feed disable
The channel - specific interface signal Feed disable (V3200 0006.0) will stop all axes (geometry and additional axes) in all operating modes.
This feed disable is not active with active G33, but it will be active for G63, G331, G332.

Feed Stop for axes in the WCS

The interface signals Feed Stop (V3200 1000.3, V3200 1004.3 and V3200 1008.3) will stop
the geometry axes (axes in WCS) when traversing in the workpiece coordinate system in
JOG mode.
Axis - specific feed stop

The axis - specific interface signal Feed Stop (V380x0004.3) will stop the corresponding machine axis. For AUTOMATIC mode, the following applies:
If Feed Stop is provided for a path axis, all axes moved in the current block and involved in
the path group will be stopped.
In JOG mode, only the corresponding axis is stopped.
The axis - specific Feed Stop is active if G33 is enabled (but: In this case, contour deviations
result = thread errors!).
Spindle Stop
The interface signal Spindle Stop (V380x0004.3) is used to stop the spindle.
Spindle Stop is active with G33, G63 (but: In this case, contour deviations result = thread
errors!).
11.3.3
Feed override from the machine control panel
General
The operator can use the feed override switch to reduce or increase the traversed feedrate
relatively to the programmed feedrate as a percentage directly on site. The feedrates will be
multiplied with the override values.
The override possible for the feedrate is between 0 and 120%.
The rapid traverse override switch is used to run traversing programs more slowly when testing part programs.
The rapid traverse possible for the feedrate is between 0 and 100%.
The spindle override can be used to modify the spindle speed and the cutting rate (with G96).
The override possible is between 50 and 120%.
A modification is carried out with compliance of the machine - specific acceleration and velocity limits and without contour error.
The overrides will apply to the programmed values before the limitations (e. g. G26) come
into effect.
Channel - specific override and rapid traverse override

For feed and override, one enable signal and a bit each are provided for the override switch
in per cent.

IS Feed override switch active (V3200 0006.7)
IS Rapid traverse override (VB3200 0005)
IS Rapid traverse override active (V3200 0006.6)
The interface for the override (value) is provided from a machine control panel via the PLC to
the NC in the Gray code.
An active feed override will applies to all path axes. An active rapid traverse override will apply to all axes tha traverse at rapid traverse.
If no separate rapid traverse switch is provided, the feed override switch can be used whereby feed overrides exceeding 100% will be limited to 100% rapid traverse override.
Which override will be active, can be selected either via PLC or from the operator panel.
When selection is made through the control panel (display:ROV), the IS Feed override for
rapid traverse selected (V1700 0001.3) is set, transferred to the IS Rapid traverse override
active (V3200 0006.6), and the value is to be transferred from a machine control panel to the
IS Rapid traverse override (VB3200 0005) from the PLC user program.
The channel - specific feed and rapid traverse override is disabled if G33, G63 G331 and
G332 are active.
Axis - specific feed override

For each axis, one enable signal and a byte each are provided for the feed override factor in
per cent.
IS Feed override (VB380x 0000)
IS Override active (V380x 0000.7)
The axis - specific feed override is inactive if G33, G331, G331, G63 are enabled (internally
fixed to 100%).
Spindle override
For each spindle, one enable signal and one byte each are provided for the PLC interface
spindle override factor in per cent.
IS Spindle override (VB380x 0000)
IS Feed override active (V380x 0000.7)
Another IS Feed override valid for spindle (V380x 2001.0) is provided for the PLC user program to specify that the value of the IS Feed override (VB380x 0000) will apply.
The spindle override is active with G33, but should not be actuated for reasons of accuracy;
is also active with G331, G332. With G63, the spindle override is fixed to 100 %.
Override enabled
The set override values are active in all modes and for all machine functions, provided that
the IS Rapid traverse override active, Feed override active or Override active are set.
An override value of 0% will have the same effect as feed disable.

Override disabled
If the override is disabled (above interface signals are set to 0), override factor 1 will be
used internally in the NC, i.e. the override will be 100%.
Note:
A special characteristic for this value is the 1st switch position of the Gray - coded interfaces.
Even if the IS Rapid traverse override active, Feed override active and Override active,
the override factor of the 1st switch position will be used and 0 % will thus be output as the
override value for the axes (has the same effect as Feed disable). Override value 50 % will
apply to the spindle if the IS Override active is not set.

Continuous - Path Mode, Exact Stop

12.1

Brief description
In the continuous-path mode, the CNC executes a part program block by block. Only if the
functions of the block currently executed have been completed, the next block is started. Various demands placed on machining and positoning require various block change criteria. Two
behaviors are to be found at the block borders for the path axes.
The first type, Exact stop, means that all path axes must have reached the given target position depending on an exact stop criterion before the next block change is initiated. To be able
to fulfill this criterion, the path axes must reduce their tool path velocity what, however, will
result in a delay of the block change. The second type, Continous-path mode, is used to try
to avoid decelerating of the tool path rate at the block border to be able to change to the next
block at the same tool path velocity (if possible).
LookAhead is a method, which is used in continuous-path mode to determine a velocity
control looking ahead for several NC program blocks.

Continuous-Path Mode, Exact Stop and LookAhead (B1)

12.2
12.2
General
General
Interpolating machine axes must have the same dynamic behavior, i.e. the same following
error must occur at a the same velocity.
Path axes are all machining axes that are controlled by an interpolator that determines the
path points so that
all involved axes will start at the same time;
each involved axis will traverse at the correct velocity ratio;
all axes will reach the programmed target position at the same time.
The accelerations of the individual axes may be different depending on the path to be traversed,
such as a circle.
Path axes may be geometry axes or supplementary axes (e.g. workpiece rotary axes involved in the
workpiece machining).
Velocity at zero-cycle blocks

Zero-cycle blocks are blocks whose path length is shorter than the path that can be covered
using the programmed set feedrate and the interpolation cycle (time). For accuracy reasons,
the velocity is reduced such that traversing along the path takes at least one interpolator cycle. The velocity is thus equal to or less than the quotient of the path length of the block divided by the IPO cycle.
Stopping for synchronization

Irrespective of whether exact stop or continuous-path mode is selected, the block change
may be delayed by synchronization processes and can thus cause a stop of the path axis. In
exact stop mode, the path axes are stopped at the end point of the current block. In continuous path mode, the path axes are stopped in this situation at the next block end point, where
they can be braked keeping their acceleration limits. A stop is carried out for synchronization
on PLC acknowledgement.
If the acknowledgement by the PLC is required for an auxiliary function output before or
after the end of a motion, the stop is carried out at block end.
if there are no more following blocks.

If following blocks cannot or not quickly enough be prepared (e.g. Execution from external
source), the stop is carried out at the last approachable block limit.
when emptying the buffer.

If it is required in the NC part program to synchronize the initial part of the program with the
main run (empty buffer, e.g. STOPRE), a block-related velocity reduction and/or an exact
stop is implicitly connected with it.
No contour errors occur when stopping for synchronization. However, the stop is not desired
especially in contiuous path mode, since a relief cut can occur.

12.3
Exact Stop
Exact Stop
The Exact Stop function (G60, G9) is used to wait for the path axes running in to the programmed
block end point. If all path axes have reached the exact stop criterion, the block change is carried
out. The velocity at the block transition is nearly zero.
This means:
that the path axes at the block end point come nearly to a standstill without overshooting.
the machining time is exceeded due to the waiting time to achieve the exact stop criterion.
relief cutting may occur due to the waiting time to achieve the exact stop criterion.
The exact stop function is suited for exact traversing along contours.
Exact stop is not recommended if
the exact curve within the framework of a criterion (e.g. exact stop fine) may deviate from the
programmed criterion to make the machining faster.
absolute velocity tolerance is required.
Enabling Excact Stop

The Exact Stop function can be selected in the NC part program using the command G60 or
G9. G60 is modally active, G9 non-modal. G09 is used to interrupt continuous path mode.
The two exact stop functions are only active with the selected exact stop criterion (G601,
G602). The exact stop function is deselected using the continuous path mode function G64.
Exact stop criteria

Exact stop fine: G601

This criterion is used to monitor whether the distance of axis actual position from the set
position is within a certain range. The size of this distance is defined in MD 36010:
STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine).
Exact stop coarse: G602

The same functionality as exact stop fine, but the monitoring window is defined in MD
36000: STOP_LIMIT_COARSE (exact stop coarse). To achieve a faster block change
compared with the criterion exact stop fine, the exact stop coarse window must be parameterized larger than the exact stop fine window.

12.4
Continuous path mode
Interpolator end
The interpolator end is reached when the interpolator has calculated the setpoint velocity of
the axes to the amount of zero for one interpolation clock pulse. However, the actual positions
of the path axes have not reached the target (following error).
The auxiliary functions contained in the block are transferred to the PLC with interpolator end,
irrespective of the continuous path mode and/or the active exact stop criterion of the exact
stop function, provided that these auxiliary functions are output after end of motion.
12.4
12.4.1

General
In the continuous path mode, the path velocity is not decelerated for block change at the end
of block to a velocity which allows to reach the exact stop criterion. The objective is to avoid a
major braking of the path axes at the block change point in order to switch over to the next
block at the same tool path velocity if possible. In order to achieve this objective, the LookAhead function is activated in addition to the selection of the continuous path mode (G64) (refer
to Section 12.5).
The continuous path mode causes :
a rounding of the contour.
shorter processing times due to missing braking and acceleration procedures, which are
required for reaching the exact stop criterion.
better cutting conditions due to the more uniform velocity characteristic.
Continuous path mode is useful if a contour is to be traversed rapidly.

Continuous path mode is not useful if:
a contour is to be traversed exactly.
an absolute constant velocity is required.
Implied exact stop

In some cases, an exact stop must be generated in continuous path mode to be able to carry
out the following actions. In such situations, the path velocity is braked down to zero.
12-252
If auxiliary functions are output prior to the traversing motion, the previous block is only
completed when the selected exact stop criterion is reached.
If auxiliary functions are output after the traversing motion, these are output after interpolator end of the block.
If an executable block does not contain any traversing information for the path axes, the
previous block is completed when the selected exact stop criterion is reached.
A block is completed at interpolator end, if the switch-over of the acceleration profile

BRISK/SOFT is carried out in the following block.
If the function Empty buffer (STOPRE) is programmed in the part program, the previous
block is completed when the selected exact stop criterion is reached.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

12.4
Velocity = 0 in the continuous path mode

Irrespective of the implied exact stop, the path motion is braked down to zero at the block end,
if:
the time for the positioning of a spindle is longer using SPOS than the traversing time of
the path axes. The block change is carried out when the exact stop fine of the spindle to
be positioned is reached.
a synchronization is required (see Section 12.2).
Auxiliary function output during traversing

If the traversing time is not sufficient due to the programmed path length and the velocity of
the block with auxiliary function output, the tool path velocity for the block is pre-emptively
reduced in such a way that the acknowledgement of the auxiliary function can be provided
within a PLC cycle time. If the acknowledgement is not carried out within a PLC cycle time,
the following prepared block cannot be executed, and the axes are stopped immediately with
setpoint specification = 0 (without taking into account the acceleration limits). If also in long
blocks the velocity acknowledgement is not provided by the end of the block, in which it was
not necessary to reduce the velocity due to the PLC acknowledgement time, the velocity is
retained by the end of the block and is reduced as described above. If the acknowledgement
is provided during the braking process, no acceleration to the desired speed is carried out.
12.4.2
Velocity reduction according to the overload factor
Function
This function reduces the traversing rate in continuous path mode such that the non-tangential block transition can be overrun in one interpolator clock pulse, keeping the acceleration
limit and taking into account the overload factor. The velocity reduction causes sudden axisspecific velocity changes if the contour characteristic at the block end is not tangential. The
synchronous axes involved in traversing will also be involved in these sudden velocity changes. The sudden velocity change avoids a reduction of the traversing rate to zero. The sudden
velocity change is carried out if the axial velocity with the axis acceleration has been reduced
to a velocity from which the new setpoint value can be reached by the sudden velocity
change. The amount of the sudden change of the setpoint can be limited using the overload
factor criterion. Since the amount of the sudden change is axis-related, the smallest amount
of the sudden change is taken into account at the block transition of the path axes active during block change. In case of an almost tangential block transition, the path velocity is not reduced, if the admissible axes accelerations are not exceeded. This allows to overrun very
small bends in the contour.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
12-253

12.4
Overload factor
The overload factor limits the sudden velocity change (further referred to as velocity jump) of
the machine axis at the block transition. To make sure that the velocity jump does not exceed
the axis load, the jump is deduced from the acceleration of the axis. The overload factor specifies by what amount the acceleration of the machine axis can be exceeded for an IPO clock
pulse, which is stored in MD 32300: MAX_AX_ACCEL (axis acceleration). The velocity stroke
is the product of the axis acceleration * (overload factor -1) * interpolator clock pulse. The
overload factor is 1.2.
Factor 1.0 means that only tangential transitions can be overrun at an endless velocity. In the
case of any other transitions, the velocity will be reduced to zero due to the setpoint settings.
Selection and deselection of the velocity reduction

The modal selection of continuous path mode with velocity reduction can be carried out according to the overload factor in each NC part program block using program code G64 (BRISK
active, not SOFT).
The continuous path mode G64 can be
12.4.3
interrupted by selecting the exact stop G9 block by block;
deselected by selecting exact stop G60.
Velocity reduction for jerk limitation on the path
Note
Introduction
The jerk limitation on the path is another method for controling the continuous path mode.
Whereas Velocity reduction according to overload factor (see Section 12.4.2) limits the
change in the velocity, the Jerk limitation on the path as described here limits acceleration
jumps (jerks).
In contour elements consisting of partial pieces (e.g. circle - straight line transitions), acceleration jumps occur at the block transition in continuous path mode.
References:
Section Acceleration.
Jerk reduction
Jerks can be reduced by reducing the tool path velocity at block transitions with path elements
having various bends of different kind. A smoother transition is achieved between the contour
elements.
12-254

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

12.4
Jerk limit
The user defines the maximum jerk using MD 32432: PATH_TRANS_JERK_LIM (maximum
axis-specific jerk of a path axis at the block transition), which is allowed to occur in a path
axis at block transition.
Enabling
The jerk limitation at block transitions becomes active if continuous path mode with G64 and
acceleration behavior SOFT are programmed. MD 32432: PATH_TRANS_JERK_LIM must
have a positive value.
12.4.4
Machine axis- specific jerk limitation
Note
Function
The axis-specific machine data MD 32431: MAX_AX_JERK[..] can be used to set the acceleration change for each machine axis separately, as it is already done for the acceleration limitation using machine data MD 32300: MAX_AX_ACCEL[..]. MD 32431: MAX_AX_JERK[..] is
active for the axes interpolated by the path and for which SOFT (jerk-free acceleration curve)
is active within the block.
Generally, a distinction is made between the axis acceleration curve within a block and at the
transition between two blocks.
Advantages
To use axis-specific machine data for the path has the following advantages:
The dynamic properties of the axes are directly taken into account by interpolation and can
be utilized completely for each indiividual axis.
The limitation of the jerk per axis is kept not only in linear blocks, but also in curved contours.

12.5
LookAhead
12.5
LookAhead
Function
LookAhead is a procedure in continuous path mode (G64), which can pre-emptively determine the velocity control beyond the current block for several NC part program blocks.
Without LookAhead: If the programmed blocks contained only very small distances to be traversed, a velocity was reached per block which allowed braking of the axes at the block end
point, observing the acceleration limits. This meant that the programmed velocity was not reached at all,
although a sufficient number of prepared blocks with almost tangential path
transitions was present.
With LookAhead function: It is possible to carry out the acceleration and deceleration phases
over several blocks with almost tangential block transitions and thus to obtain a higher feedrate for small distances. In this way, there is a pre-emptive braking with regard to the velocity
limitations, so that a violation of the acceleration and velocity limits is avoided.

LookAhead
For safety reasons, the velocity at the block end of each block prepared is first deemed to be
zero, since the following block or an exact stop block could be very small and the axes are to
have reached standstill at the block end point. In a sequence of blocks with a high setpoint
velocity and very short path distances, the velocity in the individual blocks can be increased
depending on the current predicted velocity value, in order to reach the required setpoint velocity, and can then be reduced again, to allow the velocity at the block end point of the last predicted following block to become zero. In this way, you will get a saw-tooth velocity profile,
which can be avoided by reducing the setpoint velocity in the predicted block number (firmly
preset).

Apart from the firmly foreseeable velocity limitations, LookAhead can also include the programmed velocity. This allows to pre-emptively attain the smaller velocity beyond the current
block.
Following block velocity

A possible velocity profile includes the detection of the following block velocity. On the basis of
the information from the current and the following NC blocks, a velocity profile is calculated,
from which the required velocity reductions for the current override are deducted. The maximum value of the velocity profile found is limited by the maximum path velocity. This function
allows to start a velocity reduction in the current block taking into account the override, so that
the smaller velocity of the following block can be reached at the beginning of the following
block. If the reduction of the velocity takes longer than the traversing time of the current block,
the speed is further reduced in the following block. The velocity control is always only taken
into account only for the following block.
Selection and deselection of LookAhead

LookAhead is selected by selecting continuous path mode G64 and canceled by G60/G9.

Output of Auxiliary Functions to the PLC (H2)

Brief description
Auxiliary functions
In addition to axis positions and interpolation types, technological functions (feed, spindle
speed, gear step) and functions to control any additional facilities on the machine tool (sleeve
forward, open gripper, clamp chuck) can be specified for the machining of workpieces in the
part program. To this aim, auxiliary functions are provided.
Auxiliary functions are divided into:
Miscellaneous function M
Spindle function S
Auxiliary function H
Tool number T
Tool offset D
Feed F (With SINUMERIK 802D, F is not output to the PLC.)
Output of auxiliary functions to the PLC

The auxiliary function output is used to tell the PLC in due time when the part program wants
to perform, e.g. certain switching actions on the machine tool to be carried out by the PLC.
This is carried out by transferring the appropriate auxiliary functions, including their parameters, to the PLC. The processing of the values and signals transferred must be carried out by
the PLC user program. The individual forms of auxiliary function configuration, programming
and modes of functioning will be described in the following Section.
Auxiliary function groups

Auxiliary functions can be summarized in groups.

General structure of an auxiliary function

Identifier[address extension]=value
The identifiers permitted for auxiliary functions are: M, S, H, T, D, F.
An address extension is only provided for the H function. The address extension must be integer. With direct specification of the address extension using a numerical value, the brackets
may be omitted.
The value for the individual auxiliary functions is defined differently (INT = integer or REAL =
fractional decimal number (floating point)).

13.3
Transfer of values and signals to the PLC interface
Block change
The NCK can carry out a new auxiliary function output to the PLC only after the PLC has acknowledged all auxiliary functions transferred.
A block is only considered completed if the programmed movement has been completed and
the auxiliary function has been acknowledged. To this aim, the NCK stops the execution of the
part program (if necessary) to ensure that no auxiliary functions get lost from the view of the
PLC user program.
13.3
Transfer of values and signals to the PLC interface
Transfer time
Auxiliary functions output at the end of the block (e.g. M2) are only output if all axes and
SPS movements of the spindle are completed.
If several auxiliary functions with different output types (prior to, during, at the end of the movement) are programmed in a block that contains movements, the individual auxiliary functions are output depending on their particular output type.
In a block without traversing movements, the auxiliary functions are output immediately as a
block.
Continuous -path mode

A path movement only remains continuously if the auxiliary function is output during the movement and has been acknowledged from the PLC prior to the end of the path.

Division of auxiliary functions into groups
Division of auxiliary functions into groups
Functionality
The auxiliary functions of the M, H, D, T and S types, which are to be output, can be divided
into auxiliary function groups using machine data.
One auxiliary function may be assigned only one group.
Only one auxiliary function may be programmed per group. Otherwise, alarm 14760 is output.
Configuration
A max. of 64 auxiliary function groups can be defined.
These 64 auxiliary functions groups can be assigned max. 64 auxiliary functions. The auxiliary
functions that are assigned default values (groups 1 to 3) will not be taken into account.
The actual number of auxiliary functions, which have been distributed over the groups, are
entered in the NCK-specific MD 11100: AUXFU_MAXNUM_GROUP_ASSIGN (number of
auxiliary functions distributed over the AUXFUNC groups). To this aim, level 2 password must
be set. Then the control system must be turned off and turned on again (POWER ON). Only
now the following machine data with index n greater than zero are available, and further values can be entered.
An auxiliary function assigned is defined in the following machine data:
MD 22000: AUXFU_ASSIGN_GROUP[n]
MD 22010: AUXFU_ASSIGN_TYPE[n]
Auxiliary function type
MD 22020: AUXFU_ASSIGN_EXTENSION[n]
MD 22030: AUXFU_ASSIGN_VALUE[n]
Auxiliary function value
Defaulted auxiliary function groups

Group 1:
The auxiliary functions M0, M1 and M2 (M17, M30) are assigned to group 1 by default. The
output is always carried out at the block end.
Group 2:
The M functions M3, M4 and M5 (M70) are assigned to group 2 by default. The output is always carried out before the motion.
Group 3:
The S function is assigned to group 3 by default. This group and all further groups are output
in parallel with the movement.
User-defined groups
All further groups (user-defined) are output with the movement.
The output settings can only be modified with Expert mode access (protection level 1).
Non -grouped auxiliary functions

The output of auxiliary functions that are not contained in groups is carried out with the movement.

Behavior on block search
Configuration sample
Distribute 8 auxiliary functions over 7 groups:
Group 1: M0, M1, M2 (M17, M30) - by default, should be kept
Group 2: M3, M4, M5 (M70) - by default, should be kept
Group 3: S functions - by default, should be kept
Group 4: M78, M79
Group 5: M80, M81
Group 6: H1=10, H1=11 H1=12
Group 7: all T functions
The password for protection level 2 is set. Make the appropriate entry in MD 11100:
AUXFU_MAXNUM_GROUP_ASSIGN = 8. Then turn off the control system and turn it on
again or use the appropriate softkey to power up the control and program the remaining machine data; then reboot the control system.

Behavior on block search
Block search with calculation

With block search with calculation, all auxiliary functions assigned to a group are collected
and output at the end of the block search prior to the restart block (except for group 1: M0,
M1,...).
In any case the last auxiliary function of a group is output.
All auxiliary functions collected are output as normal auxiliary functions in a separate block
prior to the movement.
Important: To collect all auxiliary functions during a block search, they must be assigned to
an auxiliary function group!

Selecting a tool
The T function is used to select a tool in the program. Whether the new tool is loaded immediately using the T function or using M6, depends on the setting in MD 22550:
TOOL_CHANGE_MODE (new tool compensation with M function).
Range of values for T

The T function may have integer values from T0 (no tool) to T32000 (tool with number 32000).
A maximum of 32 tools can be stored in the CNC at a time.

Tool compensation
Tool compensation using the D function

A tool may have up to 9 cutting edges. The 9 cutting edges are assigned to the D functions
D1 to D9.
A maximum of 64 tool compensation data blocks can be stored, which divide over the individual tools.
The cutting edge is programmed using D1 (edge 1) to D9 (edge 9). The tool cutting edge always refers to the tool currently active. An active tool cutting edge (D1 to D9) without active
tool (T0) will not be active. A cutting edge D0 will cancel all tool compensations of the tool currently active.
Edge selection during tool change

After programming a new tool (new T number) and changing this tool, the cutting edge can be
selected using the following options:
1. Programm the cutting edge number.
2. Do not program the cutting edge number. D1 is active automatically.
Enabling the tool compensation

D1 to D9 are used to enable the tool compensation for the tool edge of the tool currently active. The tool length compensation and the tool radius compensation, however, come into effect at different times:
The tool length compensation (TLC) will be realized with the first traversing movement of
the axis for which the TLC is to be active. This traversing movement must be a linear interpolation (G0, G1).
The tool radius compensation (TRC) will be active by programming G41/G42 in the active
plane (G17, G18 or G19). The TRC with G41/G42 may only be carried out in a program
block that contains G0 (rapid traverse) or G1 (linear interpolation).

Overview: Tool monitoring
General
The tool monitoring is activated via the following machine data - provided that the required
option exists:
MD 18080: MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK - bit 1 =1
MD 20310: TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK - bit 1 =1
The Tool monitoring function does not require an active tool management; with SINUMERIK
802D, it offers the following monitoring methods of the active cutting edge of the active tool:
Monitoring of the tool life
Monitoring of the workpiece count
All of the above mentioned monitoring functions can be activated for a tool simultaneously.
Monitoring counter
Monitoring counters have been implemented for each monitoring method. The monitoring counters run from a set value > 0 towards zero. If a monitoring counter reaches the value <= 0,
the limit value is deemed to be reached; an appropriate alarm message is issued and an interface signal is output.
First, another interface signal is output when a cutting edge of a tool has reached the prewarning limit specified for this tool.
System variable for monitoring type and status
14-278
$TC_TP8[t] - status of the tool with number t:

Bit 0 =1: tool is active
=0: replacement tool
Bit 1 =1: tool is enabled
=0: not enabled
Bit 2 =1: tool is disabled
=0: not disabled
Bit 3 : reserved
Bit 4 =1: Prewarning limit reached

Tool monitoring
These system variables can be read / written in the NC program and be addressed via the
operation (HMI). Since the Tool management function package is not available with the
SINUMERIK 802D, it is the operators/programmers own responsibility to manage these system parameters.

Tool monitoring
Tool life monitoring

The tool life is monitored for the tool cutting edge currently in use (active cutting edge D of the
tool T currently active).
Once the path axes traverse (G1, G2. G3, ... but not with G0), the remaining tool life
($TC_MOP2[t,d] ) of this too cutting edge is updated. If during machining the remaining tool
life of a cutting tool is managed under the value of Tool life prewarning limit"
($TC_MOP1[t,d] ), the IS Tool prewarning limit reached (V5300 0000.0) and the IS T number for tool prewarning limit are set (VD5300 1000).
If the remaining tool life <= 0 , an alarm is output, as well as the IS Tool limit value reached
(V5300 000.1) and T number for tool limit value (VD5300 1004) are set. Following, the tool
will change to the Disabled status and can now no longer be reprogrammed until the Disabled status is not canceled. Now, the operator must intervene and either replace the tool or
make sure that a tool is available for machining again.
$A_MONIFACT system variable

Using the $A_MONIFACT system variable (REAL data type), it is possible to let the monitoring clock slower or faster. This factor can be set before using the tool, e.g. to take into account the different wear according to the workpiece material used.
After power-up of the control system, Reset/end of program, the factor $A_MONIFACT
has the value 1.0; real time is active.
Examples showing how the system variable is taken into account:
$A_MONIFACT=1 1 minute of real time = 1 minute of tool life which is decremented
$A_MONIFACT=0.1 1 minute of real time = 0.1 minute of tool life which is decremented
$A_MONIFACT=5 1 minute of real time = 5 minutes of tool life which are decremented
Updating the setpoint using RESETMON( )

The function
RESETMON(state, t, d, mon)
will set the actual value to the setpoint:
- either for all cuttting edges of a certain tool or only for one certain edge
- either for all or only for a certain monitoreing type
transfer parameters:
INT state
Status of the command execution:
= 0
Successful execution
= -1
The cutting edge with the specified D number does not exist.
= -2
The tool with the specified T number t does not exist.

The specified tool t does not provide a defined monitoring function.

The monitoring function is not enabled, i.e. the command will not be carried
out.

Notes:
14.4.3
RESETMON( ) is ineffective with the interface signal Program test active set.
The variable for the status checkback message state must be defined at the beginning
of the program using a DEF statement:
DEF INT state
It is also possible to define a different name for the variable (instead of state, but at
least 15 characters, starting with 2 letters). The variable is only available in the program
where it was defined.
This also applies to mon. If a specification is required here at all, this can also be transferred directly as a number (1 or 2).
Workpiece count monitoring

The active cutting edge of the tool currently active is monitored for the workpiece count.
The monitoring of the workpiece count includes all tool cutting edges used to manufacture a
workpiece. If the count changes as a result of a specification by the operator, the monitoring
data of all tool cutting edges which have become active since the last workpiece counting will
be adapted accordingly.
Updating the count via operation or SETPIECE( )

The workpiece count can be updated either via operation (HMI) or using the SETPIECE( )
language command in the NC program.
Using the SETPIECE function, the user can update the count monitoring data of the tools involved in the machining process. All tools which have been enabled since the last activation
of SETPIECE are acquired with their D numbers. If a tool is active at the moment when
SETPIECE is called, this is also taken into account.
Once a block containing path axis motions is executed after SETPIECE( ), this tool will also
be taken into account for the next SETPIECE call.
SETPIECE(x ) ;
x : = 1... 32000
x:=0
Number of the workpieces produced since the last execution of the

SETPIECE function. The count for the remaining count ($TC_MOP4[t,d] )
will be reduced by this value.
Cancels all counters for the remaining count ($TC_MOP4[t,d] ) for the tools/
D number involved in the machining since then.
Alternatively, it is recommended to reset the counters via the operation
(HMI).

Notes:
-
The command SETPIECE( ) does not act in block search.

would require to program a subsequent block containing the STOPRE command.
Updating the setpoints

Updating the setpoints, i.e. setting of the remaining quantity counters ($TC_MOP4[t,d]) to the
desired count ($TC_MOP13[t,d]), is usually carried out via operation (HMI). This, however,
can also be carried out, as already described for the tool life monitoring, via the RESETMON
function ( state, t, d, mon).
Example:
DEF INT state
; Definition of a variable for the status checkback message at the beginning

of the program

Special cases of tool compensations

With SINUMERIK 802D, SW 2.0 and higher, the following special cases are offered for the
tool compensation.
Influence of setting data

Using certain setting data, the operator / programmer may influence how the length compensation value of the tool used will be taken into account:
SD 42940: TOOL_LENGTH_CONST
(assignment of the tool length compensations to the geometry axes)
SD 42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE
(assignment of the tool length compensations irrespective of the tool type)
Note: The changed setting data will come into effect with the next cutting edge selection.
Tool length and plane change (SD 42940: TOOL_LENGTH_CONST)

Value of the setting data equal to 0:
The behavior is according to the standard definition: The lengths 1 to 3, both in the geometry
and for the wear, are assigned as fixed values to the abscissa, ordinate or applicate according
to the G17 to G19 currently active and according to the relevant tool type. If the active G17 to
G19 changes, the axis assignment will also change to the lengths 1 to 3, since abscissa, ordinate and applicate will thus be assigned to other geometry axes.
Detailed explanations:
References:
Value of the setting data unequal to 0:

The assignment of the tool lengths 1 to 3 both for the geometry and for the wear to the geometry axes is carried out according to the SD value and will not be changed when changing
the machining plane (G17 to G19).
The assignment of the tool lengths 1 to 3 to the geometry axes for turning tools (tool types
500 to 599) results from the value of the setting data SD 42940 according to the table below:

In the case of values with a negative sign, the assignment with regard to length 1 is always
the same; the lengths 2 and 3 are changed, compared with the assignment with the relevant
positive values.
Note:
The representation in the tables is based on the assumption that the geometry axes 1 to 3 are
designated X, Y, Z. The assignment of a compensation to an axis depends not on the axis
identifier, but on the axis sequence order (1st, 2nd, 3rd geometry axis).
Length compensation for tool type (SD 42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE)

Value of the setting data equal to 0:
The behavior is according to the standard definition: The lengths 1 to 3 both for the geometry
and for the wear are assigned to the real tool type (milling tool / drill or turning tool).
Detailed explanation:
References:
Value of the setting data unequal to 0:

The assignment of the tool lengths is carried out irrespective of the real tool type.
Value 1:
Length assignment always as with milling tools
Value 2:
Length assignment always as with turning tools
Notes
The influence of these two setting data only refers to tool lengths; the tool radius is not
concerned.
If SD 42940: TOOL_LENGTH_CONST is set to a value not euqal to 0 and the value in

SD 42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE is equal to 1 or 2, the value specified in the table for
SD 42940 will apply to the tool type now assigned (milling or turning tool).
Example
SD 42940: TOOL_LENGTH_CONST =18
SD 42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE =2

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
14-285

14.5
Explanation:
The behavior of the active tool with regard to the length compensation is as a turning tool
(-> SD 42950 =2).
In all planes G17 to G19, the length assignment is carried out as with G18 (-> SD 42940=18):
Length 1 -> X axis
Length 2 -> Z axis
if a Y axis exists:
Length 3 -> Y axis
The tool radius acts according to the real tool type and according to the plane currently active.

function is used to remove the old tool from the spindle and to load the new tool into the
spindle. According to DIN 66025, this tool change is programmed using the M function M6.

Brief description
Channel -specific measuring

In a part program block, a measuring cycle (with or without deleting the distance to go) is programmed. In addition, a trigger event (edge of sensor) is programmed, initiating the measuring
process. The statements apply to all axes programmed in this block. The program that contains the measuring process are executed in AUTOMATIC mode and can be used either for
workpiece or tool measurement.
Tool measurement in JOG

In particular, for measuring tools on turning and milling machines, a prompting system has
been implemented in the SINUMERIK 802D, which is active in JOG mode and assists the
operator in performing the measuring sequence. This sequence includes the channel-specific
measurement. The required functionality must be integrated in the PLC user program. The
measured correction values of the tool will be available in the tool offset memory at the end of
the measuring process.
Which operator actions are to be carried out exactly is contained in:

Probes that can be used
General
To acquire tool and workpiece dimensions, a switching sensing probe is required, which provides a constant signal (no pulse) in case of a deflection.
The probe must switch nearly free from bouncing. This is generally possible by a mechanical
adjustment of the probe.
Various manufacturers offer different designs of probes on the market. The probes are therefore divided into three groups, depending on the number of directions in which a probe can be
deflected (see Fig. 15-1).

Bi -directional probes
For the workpiece measurement in milling and machining centers, this type is treated as a
mono-probe. For turning machines, this type can be used for workpiece measurement.
Mono -directional probes

On milling and machining centers, this type can be used for workpiece measurement with
slight restrictions.
To measure in different axis directions/axes, it must be possible to position the spindle using
the NC fnction SPOS. The sensing probe must be aligned according to the measuring task to
be performed.
Switching behavior
The MD 13200:MEAS_PROBE_LOW_ACTIVE[0] is used to announce the signal level of the
connected sensor (extended / withdrawn ) to the control system.
15.2.2
Connecting the probe
Connection to the 802D/drive 611UE

With the SINUMERIK 802D, the probe is connected to the drive 611UE on the terminals
X453 (input I0.A) for drive A and/or on X454 (input I0.B) for drive B in case of two-axis modules. For single-axis modules, only drive A is available.
All measuring inputs of the axis drive modules must be linked electrically with each other and
connected to the probe.
Parameterize the input of each axis drive using the function Probe (parameter P660=80)
when starting up the drive using the SimoCom U tool.
For the sensor, use an external voltage (24V), not that of the drive.
The connection including the reference potential, is explained and described in detail in:

Measuring mode
Measuring commands MEAS and MEAW

The measuring process is enabled from the part program. A trigger event and a measuring
mode are programmed. Two measuring modes are provided:
MEAS: Measuring with deleting the distance to go

Example: N10 G1 F300 X300 Z200 MEAS=-1
Trigger event is the falling edge (-) of probe (1): from the status when extended to the status when withdrawn
MEAW: Measuring without deleting the distance to go

Example: N20 G1 F300 X300 Y100 MEAW=1
Trigger event is the rising edge (+) of probe (1): from the status when extended to the status when withdrawn
The measuring block is completed when the sensing probe signal is arrived or the position is
reached. The measuring job can be canceled using RESET.
References:
Note
If a geometry axis (axis in WCS) is programmed in a measuring block, the measured values for all
geometry axes will be stored.
15.3.2
Measurement results
Reading measurement results in the program

The results of the measurement command can be read in the part program using system variables.
System variable $AC_MEA[1]

Polling the status signal of the measuring job.
The variable is deleted at the beginning of a measurement. Once the probe reaches the
trigger criterion (rising or falling edge), the variable is set. Thus the realization of the measuring job can be checked in the part program.
System variable $AA_MM[<axis>]

Access to the result of measurement in the machine coordinate system.
Reading in the part program and in the synchronous actions. <axis> stands for the name
of the measuring axis (X, Y, ...).
System variable $AA_MW[axis]

Access to the measurement result in the workpiece coordinate system. Reading in the part
program and in the synchronous actions. <axis> stands for the name of the measuring axis
(X, Y, ...).

Measuring accuracy and testing
PLC service display

The measuring signal can be checked using the diagnostics menu PLC status:
IS Probe 1 actuated (V2700 0001.0).
The IS Measurement active (V390x 0002.3) can be used to display the current measuring
status of the axis (measuring block with this axis running).

15.4.1
Measuring accuracy
Accuracy:
The runtime of the measuring signal is determined by the hardware used. The delay times are
in the s range, plus reaction time of the probe when using the SIMODRIVE 611UE.
The measuring uncertainty results from:
Measuring uncertainty = runtime of measuring signal x traversing velocity
Correct results can only be guaranteed for traversing velocities, at which not more than 1 trigger signal per position controller cycle arrives.
15.4.2
Sensing probe function test
Example of a function test

It is recommended to carry out the function test of the sensing probe using an NC program.

Tool gauging in JOG
Tool gauging in JOG
Note
Gauging principle
The operator will traverse the tool to the sensing probe in JOG mode using the traversing keys
or the handwheel. When the sensing probe switches, the movement is automatically stopped,
the control system will internally switch to AUTOMATIC mode, and a measuring program is
started. The measuring program controls the actual measuring process using a second sensing probe approach and another positioning process. At the end, the tool compensation values are entered and JOG mode is active again.
Advantage: The compensation values entered before measuring the tool can deviate from the
real values completely. The tools need not be premeasured.
Note: No wear measurement is carried out, but always a re-measurement of the tool.
In JOG mode, the operator can use softkeys and screen forms to make inputs. These assist
him in the tool measurement.
References:
Important
The PLC user program must be created with the appropriate sequences. Only then the required functionality will be available.
When approaching the sensing probe, be especially careful. The sensing probes have only a
limited extension travel. If this travel is exceeded, the probes can be damaged or even be
destroyed! Observe the instructions of the manufacturers!
In particular, reduce the approach velocity such that it is always possible to stop in time. Rapid traverse override must not be active.
The screen forms displayed and the sequence are dependent on the technology. Correspondingly, the following tool types can be measured:
Turning technology
Turning tool (geometry length 1 and geometry length 2)
Drill (geometry length 1)
Milling technology

Milling tool (geometry length 1 and geometry radius)
Drill (geometry length 1)

Measuring (M5)

Tool gauging in JOG
Tool offsets
The screen forms contain first the active tool T and the active offset number D for the target of
the measured result entry. Either a different tool can be specified from the PLC via the interface or the operator enters a different tool T and/or the offset number D.
Important
If a tool or an offset number other than the active values has been entered, this has to be announced to the NC when using this tool/tool offset after measuring; this can be done, e.g. by
programming and start in MDA mode. Only then the control system can take into account the
correct tool offsets.
A length compensation determined by measurement is automatically entered in the Geometry component of the active/specified tool compensation D of the active/specified tool, and the
associated components Wear and Adapter are deleted.
When measuring the cutter radius, it is assumed that no further offset is available in the axes
of the cutter radius plane (values in the axes of the Adapter component, as well as geometry
length 2 and 3 are equal to zero).
The result for the radius is entered in the Geometry component. The associated components
Adapter and Wear of both axes of the plane are deleted.
Sensing probes
The sensing probe for tool measurement is either a stationary sensing probe or it is swiveled
to the work area using a mechanical facility. In the case of a rectangular design of the sensing
probe plate, the edges must be aligned paraxially. The tool/calibration tool is traversed against
the sensing probe. Before a measurement is carried out, the sensing probe must be calibrated, i.e. the exact sensing probe switching points with reference to the machine zero must be
known to the control system.

Preparatory work, calibrating the sensing probe

Select JOG mode.
Use the Settings softkey to enter the following values in the window, which opens:
Retraction plane, safety clearance, JOG feed, variable incremental dimension and direction of rotation of the spindle fo general use in JOG and for tool measurement.
Press another softkey Sensor data to enter the following values in the window, which
opens:
-
Feedrate for automatic sensor approach in the measuring program
Sensor switching points (The appropriate values are set automatically when calibrating.
If exact values are known, these can be entered manually. No calibration is thus required.)
The softkeys Measure tool -> Adjust sensor and the window, which opens, are used to
prompt the operator when performing the sequence required to calibrate the sensor. In this
case, the tool used is the calibration tool with the dimensions exactly known and entered.
With the milling technology, the calibration tool is one of the type milling cutter; with the
turning technology, the tool is a turning tool with edge radius zero. The entered edge position is not taken into account here.
The internal sequence when calibrating is the same as when measuring. The measurement results, however, are written to the data for the sensor switching points - not to the
tool offsets.
Note: The internal NC programs for measuring or calibrating have been designed such that
the measurement is carried out when a rising edge of the sensor occurs.
Measuring sequence
15-300
JOG mode is selected. The measuring feedrate is entered. The sensor is calibrated and/or
the exact sensor switching points are entered.
The measuring sequence is performed using the softkeys Measure tool and further softkeys, depending on the tool type.
When the softkey Measure tool is pressed, the IS Measurement in JOG active
(V1700 0003.7) is transferred from HMI to the PLC. The PLC can preset another T number
than the active one via the IS T number for tool measurement in JOG (VD1900 5004)
and provide this to the HMI. If the sensor switches to the sensor when traversing the selected axis, the NCK will output the IS Sensor 1 active (V27000001.0). As a response, the
PLC will set the IS Feed disable (V3200 0006.0) and the NCK will stop the movement.
The feed disable is kept as long as a traversing key is pressed in JOG mode and the IS
Measurement active in JOG
(V1700 0003.7) is set. The PLC will the provide the IS Reset (V3000 000.7). The traversing movement in JOG is thus canceled.
HMI will detect that the sensor has switched and will provide the order to the PLC for switching over to AUTOMATIC mode (IS AUTOMATIC mode;V1800 0000.0) after the traversing key has been pressed (with handwheel travel - immediately). The PLC will transfer
this to the NCK (V3000 0000.0).
The NCK will enable the AUTOMATIC mode (IS Active mode: AUTOMATIC (V3100
0000.0)) what is displayed on the HMI screen. The PLC will cancel the IS Feed disable
(V3200 0006.0). In the following, the HMI provides the IS Mode change disable (V1800
0000.4) to the PLC. If the PLC has detected this signal (is present only over one PLC cycle), the PLC will provide the IS Mode change disable (V3000 0000.4) to the NCK.
HMI has loaded an NC measuring program into the NCK. This will be enabled now. This
measuring program will automatically calculate the direction of approaching the sensor and
the traversing distance including safety clearance.
HMI will give the PLC the order to start the measuring program via the IS Start measuring

Measuring (M5)

Supplementary conditions
in JOG (V1800 0000.6). The signals in the range V1800 are present only over one PLC
cycle. Ths IS Start measuring in JOG is therefore buffered in the PLC. The NC measuring program is started from the PLC via the output of the IS NC START (V3200 0007.1)
to the NCK.
The NC program will reposition the axis, reapproach the sensor, measure and then retract.
The HMI will then output the request for switching back to JOG mode (V1800 0000.2) to
the PLC. As a response, the PLC will reset the IS Mode change disable (V3000 0000.4).
The PLC will output the JOG mode (V3000 0000.2) to the NCK and the NCK will return the
IS Active mode JOG (V3100 0000.2).
Use the softkey Next step to select the next approach direction/axis for retraction to the
sensor. The further procedure is analogously - until all directions/axes are traversed.
At completion of measuring or calibration of the sensor, deselect the function using the
Back softkey. This will reset the IS Measuring in JOG active (V1700 0003.0). Analogously, it is reset when quitting the operating area.
The IS Reset (V3000 0000.7) can be used to cancel the Automatic program, and the
Back softkey can be used to quit measuring in JOG mode. This will also clear the IS
Feed disable (V3200 0006.0) and the IS Mode change disable (V3000 0000.4), which
are possibly still set and/or also clear any signals written to a buffer.
PLC user program

The required functionality according to the sequence in the PLC user program, as it has been
described above, must be provided by the user.
The toolbox for SINUMERIK 802D, which is supplied by SIEMENS, contains an appropriate
user example in PLC 802D Library, V01.05 and higher. This can be used. When doing so, it is
essential to call PLC_INI (SBR32) and MCP_NCK (SBR38) in OB1, since these transfer signals of the subroutine MEAS_JOG (SBR43) to NCK/HMI.

With axes/spindles provided with indirect measuring systems, the mechanical backlash results in a falsification of the distance to be traversed. For example, with direction reversal, an
axis travels will traverse too few or too much by the amount of the backlash (see Fig. 16-1).
Compensation
To compensate the backlash, the axis-specific actual value is corrected by the backlash
amount with each direction reversal of the axis/spindle.
During the start-up, this amount can be entered in
MD 32450: BACKLASH (backlash) for each axis/spindle.
Activation
After reference point approach, the backlash compensation is always active in all operating
modes.
Positive backlash
The encoder advances the machine part (e.g. table). To make sure that the actual position
acquired by the encoder advances the real position of the table, the table traverses too shortly
(see Fig. 16-1). In this case, a positive backlash compensation value must be entered (= normal case).

Positive backlash (normal case)
Negative backlash
The encoder lags behind the machine part (e.g. table); the table travels too far. A negative
compensation value must be entered.
Large backlash compensation values

In case of direction reversal of the axis concerned, the user may provide the backlash compensation value divided into several segments. This avoids that a sudden setpoint change on
the axes results in specific axis errors.

Compensation (K3)
16.3
The contents of the axis-specific MD 36500: ENC_CHANGE_TOL determine the increment,

by which the backlash compensation value (MD 32450: BACKLASH) is added.
Note that the backlash compensation will only be taken into account after n servo cycles ( n=
MD32450 / MD 36500). If the time is too long, zero speed monitoring alarms may result.
If MD 36500: ENC_CHANGE_TOL is greater than MD 32450: BACKLASH, the compensation
is carried out in one servo cycle.

General
Terms and definitions

Compensation value: Difference between the axis position measured by the position encoder and the desired programmed axis position (= axis position of the ideal machine). The compensation value is often also called offset value.
Intermediate point: A position of the axis and the related compensation value.
Compensation table: Table of intermediate points
Compensation table
Since measurement deviations of ball screw spindle and measuring system have a direct influence on the accuracy of the workpiece machining, they must be compensated by appropriate position-dependent compensation values. The compensation values are determined
according to the measured error curve and entered in the control system in the form of compensation tables during the start-up. For each compensation relation, a separate table must
be created.
The input of compensation values and additional table parameters are carried out using special system variables.
Input of the compensation table

The compensation tables can be loaded into the buffered NC user memory in two different
ways:
The compensation values are loaded by starting an NC program that contains the compensation tables.
The compensation data can also be loaded by transferring the compensation tables from a
PC via the serial interface of the HMI.
Note
The compensation tables can be output via the serial interface of the HMI from the operating area
System -> Data I/O -> Data selection / Data ... / Compensation: Leadscrew error and downloaded after editing.

Linear interpolation between intermediate points

The traversing distance to be compensated and defined by start and end positions will be divided into several segments of the same size (the number depends on the error curve form)
(see Fig. 16-2). In the following, the actual positions limiting these segments will be referred
to as intermediate points. During the start-up, the corresponding offset value must be entered for each intermediate point. The offset (or compensation) value acting between 2 intermediate points is generated from the corresponding compensation values of the adjacent intermediate points (i.e. adjacent points are linked by a straight line) by a linear interpolation.

Leadscrew error compensation (LEC)
Function
The leadscrew error compensation / measuring system error compensation (LEC) is an axisspecific compensation.
With the LEC, the axis-specific actual position value is modified by the corresponding compensation value at the interpolation cycle and directly traversed by the machine axis. A positive compensation value results in a movement of the corresponding machine axis in the negative direction.
The size of the compensation value is not limited and is not monitored. To avoid inadmissible
high velocities and accelerations of the machine axis due to the compensation, the compensation value should be selected correspondingly small. Otherwise, in case of large compensation values, other axis monitoring functions may result in alarm messages (e.g. contour monitoring, speed setpoint limitation).
16-310

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
Compensation (K3)
16.3
Activation
The compensation values are stored in the NC user memory and are active after Power
ON.
The function has been activated for the machine axis desired
(MD 32700: ENC_COMP_ENABLE [0] = 1).
The axis has been referenced (IS Referenced/synchronized 1 V390x0000.4 set).
If these conditions are fulfilled, the axis-specific actual position value will be modified by the
corresponding compensation value and traversed by the machine axis immediately.
If the reference is then lost, e.g. since the encoder frequency has been exceeded (IS Referenced/synchronized 1 = 0), the compensation processing will be switched off.
Compensation table
The position-related compensations for the corresponding axis are stored in the compensation table in the form of system variables. A maximum of 125 intermediate points (N = 0...124)
is possible.
To this aim, the following measuring-system specific parameters must be defined for the table
(see Fig.16-3):
Compensation value for intermediate point N of the compensation table:

$AA_ENC_COMP [0,N,AXi]= ...
with: AXi = machine axis name, e.g. X1, Y1, Z1 ; N = intermediate point index
The compensation value for each individual intermediate point (axis position) must be entered in the table. The size of the compensation value is not limited.
Note
The first and the last compensation values remain active over the entire traversing range, i.e.
these compensation values should be 0 if the compensation table does not extend over the
entire traversing range.
Intermediate point spacing: $AA_ENC_COMP_STEP[0,AXi]= ...

The intermediate point spacing defines the spacing between the compensation values of
the corresponding compensation table (AXi, see above).
Starting position: $AA_ENC_COMP_MIN[0,AXi]= ...

The starting position is the axis position at which the compensation table for the axis in
question starts (intermediate point 0).
The compensation value pertaining to the starting position is $AA_ENC_COMP[0,0,AXi]
For all positions less than the starting position, the compensation value of intermediate
point 0 is used (does not apply to tables with module).
End position: $AA_ENC_COMP_MAX[0,AXi]= ...

The end position is the axis position at which the compensation table for the corresponding
axis ends (intermediate point k < 125).
The compensation value pertaining to the end position is $AA_ENC_COMP[0,k,AXi)]
For all positions greater than the end position, the compensation value of intermediate
point k is used (exception: table with modulo function). Compensation values greater than
k are inactive.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
16-311
Compensation (K3)
16.3
Compensation with modulo function: $AA_ENC_COMP_IS_MODULO[0,AXi] = 1

If the compensation with modulo function is activated, the compensation table is repeated
cyclically, i.e. the compensation value at $AA_ENC_COMP_MAX ( intermediate point
$AA_ENC_COMP[0,k,AXi]) is directly followed by the compensation value at
$AA_ENC_COMP_MIN (intermediate point $AA_ENC_COMP[0,0,AXi]).
In case of rotary axes with modulo 360, it is recommended to use 0 degrees as the
starting position ($AA_ENC_COMP_MIN) and 360 degrees as the end position
($AA_ENC_COMP_MAX). These two compensation values must be entered with the
same amount.
Caution
When entering the compensation values, it should be made sure that all intermediate points is
assigned a compensation value within the defined range (i.e. that no gaps occur). Otherwise,
for these intermediate points the compensation value will be used, which has remained from
previous entries in these places.
Note
In MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC=0, table parameters that contain positional

information are interpreted in inches.
An automtic conversion of the position data can be achieved by manual switch -over (see Section 3.2.2 Switching over the scaling system manually).
The compensation table can only be loaded if MD 32700: ENC_COMP_ENABLE=0 is set. If this
value is set =1, the compensation will be enabled, thus enabling write protection (output of alarm
17070).

Following error compensation (feedforward control)

General
Axis-specific following errors

The feedforward control allows to reduce the following error nearly to zero. The feedforward
control is therefore also called following error compensation.
In particular, in case of acceleration processes at contour bends, e.g. circles and corners, this
following error results in an undesired velocity-dependent contour error.
The SINUMERIK 802D control system uses feedforward control type Speed feedforward control.
Enabling/disabling the feedforward control in the part program

The feedforward control can be enabled/disabled in the part program using the following highlevel language elements:
FFWON Feedforward control ON
FFWOF Feedforward control OFF (default position when turning on the control system)
MD 32630: FFW_ACTIVATION_MODE defines axis-specifically whether the feedforward control can be enabled by FFWON for this axis and/or whether it can be disabled by FFWOF.
FFWON and FFWOF are used to enable/disable the feedforward control for all axes/spindles
for which MD 32630: FFW_ACTIVATION_MODE = 1 is set.
For interpolating axes, MD 32630: FFW_ACTIVATION_MODE should therefore be set to the
same value.
To avoid jerks, the feedforward control should only be enabled/disabled when the axis/spindle
is at a standstill. This must be observed and guaranteed by the programmer.
Prerequisites
When using the feedforward control, make sure that the following is observed:
rigid machine behavior
exact knowledge of the machine dynamic properties required
no sudden position and speed setpoint changes
Optimizing the control loop

The feedforward control is set axis/spindle-specifically. First, current, speed and position control loop must be set for the corresponding axis/spindle to an optimum value.
References:
Start-Up Guide
Defining the parameters

Then the feedforward control parameters must be entered for the corresponding axis/spindle
and entered in the machine data (refer to the following Section).

Brief description
Range of application
Using the function Traversing to fixed stop (FXS = Fixed Stop), it is possible to build up defined forces required for the clamping of workpieces, such as they are required for quills and
grippers. Furthermore, this function can also be used to approach mechanical reference
points. With a sufficiently reduced torque, simple measuring processes are also possible without a probe connected.
Traversing to fixed stop can be carried out for several axes at the same time and parallel to
the motion of other axes.
The fixed stop can be approached on a path (straight line, circle).
Availability
The function Traversing to fixed stop is available if the appropriate option is installed, i.e. if
the MD 37000: FIXED_STOP_MODE (mode Traversing to fixed stop) is set to 1. Then, the
function can be started from the NC program using the command FXS[x]=1.

Functionality
Functionality
Programming
Traversing to fixed stop is selected using the command
FXS[machine axis identifier] = 1, and deselected via
FXS[machine axis identifier] = 0.
The clamping torque is set using the command
FXST[machine axis identifier] = <torque>.
The clamping torque is specified as a percentage of the static torque of the drive or as
a percentage of the motor torque if main spindle drives are used.
To set the width of the fixed stop monitoring window, the command
FXSW[machine axis identifier] = <window width>is used.
Unit: mm, inches or degrees - depending on the basic unit system, linear or rotary axis.
The commands are modal. The distance to be traversed and the activation of the function must be programmed in a separate block.
Note
With FXS..., it is permitted to program the machine axis identifier after MD 10000: AXCONF_NAME_TAB and should be used preferably.
The channel axis identifiers after MD 20070: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB are permissible with
FXS... if them is assigned exactly one machine axis and, e.g. no rotation is active in the coordinate
system.
Axis-specific setting / machine data

If no monitoring window is programmed, the value specified in SD 43520:
FIXED_STOP_WINDOW will act. If a value is programmed, it will be effective and be accepted into the SD. In the beginning, the SD with the value specified in MD 37020: FIXED_STOP_WINDOW_DEF is loaded.
If no clamping torque is programmed, the value specified in SD 43510:
FIXED_STOP_TORQUE will act. If a value is programmed, it will be effective and be accepted into the SD. In the beginning, the SD with the value specified in MD 37010: FIXED_STOP_TORQUE_DEF is loaded.
The function is selected/deselected in the program only via FXS[X1]=1 / =0. In this case, the
value will also be written to SD 43500: FIXED_STOP_SWITCH (traversing to fixed stop).

Note
Once the function Traversing to fixed stop has been activated for one axis/spindle (no analog spindle), no new position may be programmed for this axis.
Before selecting this function, the spindle must be switched to the position-controlled mode.
System variable $AA_FXS[X1] for the status

This system variable delivers the status of Traversing to fixed stop for the specified axis:
Value = 0: Axis is not at the stop
1. The stop was approached successfully
(axis is in fixed-stop monitoring window)
2: Fixed-stop approach was not successful (axis is not at the stop)
3: Traversing to fixed stop activated
4: Stop was recognized
5: Traversing to fixed stop will be deselected. The deselection is not yet completed.
The interrogation of the system variable in the part program triggers a preprocessing stop.
Thanks to the status interrogation in the part program, it is possible, e.g. to react to a faulty
execution of the function Traversing to fixed stop.
Note: With SINUMERIK 802D, only the static states may be acquired.

Selection
When preparing the blocks, the NC detects that the function Traversing to fixed stop has
been selected via the command FXS[x]=1 and signals the PLC using the IS Activate traversing to fixed stop that the function has been selected.
If the MD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_MASK (observe that traversing to fixed stop must be
acknowledged accordingly by the PLC) is set accordingly, it is waited until the acknowledgment is provided from the PLC via the IS Traversing to fixed stop.
Then, the programmed target position is approached from the start position at the programmed velocity. The fixed stop must be between the start and the target positions of the axis/
spindle. A programmed torque reduction is active from the beginning of the block, i.e. the approach of the stop is also carried out with a reduced torque. This is taken into account in the
NC by automatic acceleration reduction.
If no torque has been programmed in the block or no block has been programmed since the
program has been started, the value entered in the axis-specific MD 37010: FIXED_STOP_TORQUE_DEF (torque default setting) will apply.
Fixed stop is reached

Once the axis pressed onto the mechanical fixed stop (workpiece), the closed-loop control in
the drive will increase the torque to move the axis further. The torque will increase up to the
programmed limit value and will then remain constant.
Depending on the MD 37040:
FIXED_STOP_BY_SENSOR (fixed-stop detection via sensor), the status Fixed stop reached can be determined as follows:
17-322
FIXED_STOP_BY_SENSOR = 0
The status Fixed stop is reached is provided if the axis-specific contour deviation (= difference between the real and the expected following errors) has exceeded the value specified in MD 37030: FIXED_STOP_THRESHOLD (threshold for fixed-stop detection).

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

17.2
Functionality
External sensor transmits the status Fixed stop reached to the NC via the PLC using the
IS Fixed stop sensor.
The status Fixed stop reached is provided if either the contour monitoring function has
determined this status or when the external sensor this status via signal transition 0 1.
Internal sequences
After the status Fixed stop reached has been detected by the NC, the distance to go is deleted and the position setpoint value will follow; servo enable remains active.
Then the PLC is informed via the IS Fixed stop reached.
If the MD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_MASK is set accordingly, it is waited until the PLC
has provided the acknowledgment via the IS Acknowledge fixed stop reached.
The NC will then carry out a block change and/or will consider the positioning motion completed, but will leave, however, a setpoint at the drive actuator so that the clamping torque may
act.
After the fixed stop has been reached, the fixed-stop monitoring function is activated.
Monitoring window
If no fixed-stop monitoring window has been programmed in this block or has not been programmed since the program has been started, the value entered in the MD 37020: FIXED_STOP_WINDOW_DEF (default setting for the fixed-stop monitoring window) will apply.
If the axis leaves the position it has had when detecting the stop by more than the window
selected, alarm 20093 Fixed-stop monitoring has tripped is triggered, and the function Traversing to fixed stop is deselected.
It is the users responsibility to make sure that the alarm is only triggered if the stop is broken.
Enabling the fixed-stop alarms

The MD 37050: FIXED_STOP_ALARM_MASK can be used to suppress the output of the following alarms:
20091 Fixed stop not reached
20094 Fixed stop broken
Fixed stop is not reached

If the end position programmed is reached without the status Fixed stop reached detected,
the torque limitation in the drive is canceled and the IS Traversing to fixed stop is reset.
Depending on MD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_MASK, it is waited until the acknowledgment
is provided from the PLC by resetting the IS Traversing to fixed stop, and then the block
change is carried out.

cancellation of the PLC acknowledgments or RESET in the approach block, the display or
suppression of the alarm 20094 can be controlled via MD 37050: FIXED_STOP_ALARM_MASK.
Cancellation without alarm

It is possible to cancel traversing to fixed stop from the PLC in the approach block without triggering an alarm (e.g. when the operator hits a key) if the alarm 20094 is suppressed via the
MD 37050: FIXED_STOP_ALARM_MASK.
Both Fixed stop not reached and Fixed stop canceled will deselect the function Traversing
to fixed stop.
Alarms
If - when traversing to fixed stop - the target position is reached, the alarm 20091 Fixed
stop not reached is output, and a block change is carried out.
If a traversing request (e.g. from the part program or from the operator panel) is provided
for an axis after the fixed stop has been reached, alarm 20092 Traversing to fixed stop still
active is output and the axis is not moved.
If after reaching the fixed stop an axis is pushed out of its position by a value more than
specified in
SD 43520: FIXED_STOP_WINDOW (fixed-stop monitoring window), alarm 20093 Standstill monitoring has tripped at the stop is output, the function Traversing to fixed stop is
deselected for this axis, and the system variable $AA_FXS[x]=2 is set.
Sequence in case of fault or cancellation

The IS Traversing to fixed stop will be reset.
Depending on MD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_
MASK, it is waited until the acknowledgment is provided from the PLC by resetting the IS
Traversing to fixed stop, and then the block change is carried out.
Then, the torque limitation is canceled, and a block change is carried out.
Selection
The NC detects that the function has been deselected by programming the command
FXS[x]=0. Then, a preprocessing stop (STOPRE) is initiated internally, since it cannot be determined exactly in advance where the axis will stand after the deselection.
Both the torque limitation and the monitoring of the fixed-stop monitoring window will be canceled; the IS Activate traversing to fixed stop and Fixed stop reached will be reset.
Depending on MD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_MASK, it is waited until the acknowledgment
is provided from the PLC by resetting the IS Enable traversing to fixed stop and/or Acknowledge fixed stop reached.
The axis will then change to position control. The tracking of the position setpoint will be completed and be synchronized to the new actual position.

17.2
Functionality
Then, a new programmed traversing motion must be carried out. This must carry away from
the stop; otherwise, either the stop or even the machine could be damaged.
The block change is carried out after the target position has been reached.
Multiple selection
A selection may be carried out only once. If due to faulty programming the function is called
once more after (FXS[axis] = 1) has been activated, the alarm 20092 Traversing to fixed stop
still active is triggered.
Changing the clamping torque and the monitoring window

The commands FXST[x] and FXSW[x] can be used to change the clamping torque and the
fixed-stop monitoring window in the part program. The changes come into effect prior to traversing motions programmed in the same block.
If a new fixed-stop monitoring window is programmed, not only the window width will change,
but also the reference point for the window center if the axis has been moved beforehand. The
actual position of the machine axis when changing the window will be the new window center.
Ramp for the torque limit

MD 37012: FIXED_STOP_TORQUE_RAMP_TIME is used to specify a ramp for the change
of the torque. This ramp determines how long it will take until the new torque limit is reached.
Without ramp
A change in the torque limit will take place without taking into account the ramp in the following cases:
If FXS is activated via (FXS[]=1) to make sure that the reduction comes into effect immediately;
if the drive must be switched dead as fast as possible in case of error.
Behavior in case of pulse inhibition for the drive

MD 37002: FIXED_STOP_CONTROL can be used to control the behavior in case of pulse
inhibition at the stop. Deleting the pulses, e.g. as a result of the IS Pulse inhibition will not
cancel the function. As a result, the drive will press against the stop again when restarting the
pulses if no further operator action is carried out.
The rising time of the torque corresponds to the time required by the current controller of the
drive to reach the limiting again.
If the pulses are deleted during an active deselection (waiting for PLC acknowledgments), the
torque limit will be reduced to zero. In this phase, when restarting the pulses, no torque is
build up any more. Once the deselection has been completed, you can continue to traverse
normally.

Behavior in case of RESET and cancellation of the function
Behavior in case of RESET and cancellation of the function
Behavior in case of RESET

During the selection (fixed stop is not yet reached), the function FXS can be canceled with
RESET. The cancellation is carried out such that a fixed stop nearly reached (setpoint already
across the fixed stop, but not yet within the threshold required to detect the fixed stop) will not
result in a damage.
This is reached by synchronizing the position setpoint to the new actual position. Once the
fixed stop has been reached, the function will remain active even after RESET.
Cancellation of the function

In the case of EMERGENCY STOP, both the NC and the drive cannot react, i.e. the PLC must
react.
Caution
Make absolutely sure that after cancellation of the function Traversing to fixed stop through
EMERGENCY STOP no hazardous machine situation (MD 37002: FIXED_STOP_CONTROL
e.g. Cancel pulse inhibition) may result.
The fixed-stop monitoring function will trip in the following cases:

Ineffective interface signals

Until deselection, the following interface signals (IS) (PLC ! NCK) are ineffective for axes at
the fixed stop (incl. traversing motion):
IS Axis/spindle disable
IS Servo enable
Actual position at the fixed stop

The system variable $AA_IM[x] can be used to determine the actual position of the machine
axis, e.g. for measuring purposes, after the fixed stop has been approached successfully.
Combination with the measuring function

Measuring with deletion of the distance to go (command MEAS) and Traversing to fixed
stop cannot be programmed in the same block.
Contour monitoring
No axis-specific contour monitoring is carried out during Traversing to fixed stop.
Selection with G64

Bit 0 inMD 37060: FIXED_STOP_ACKN_MASK must be 0 (not waiting for the PLC input signal Traversing to fixed stop enabled), since the selection of FXS may not trigger a motion
stop. If this bit is nevertheless programmed, the alarm 20090 Traversing to fixed stop not possible - check programming and axis data is triggered.

Brief description
Range of application
The control system transforms programmed traversing instructions from a Cartesian coordinate system into a real coordinate system.
The TRANSMIT transformation is used for the end-face milling machining of turned parts on
turning machines (without Y machine axis).
The TRACYL transformation is used for the machining of peripheral surfaces of cylindrical
bodies. The main application is the milling of grooves. One TRACYL variant is intended for
turning machines. A second variant is intended for turning machines with an additional Y machine axis or for milling machines with a suitable rotary table.
Machine requirements
The turning machine must possess a main spindle which is able to be operated as a C axis. A
2nd spindle must be able to drive the milling tool.
When working with TRACYL, the milling machine must possess a rotary table which is able to
interpolate with the other axes.
Availability
The functions TRANSMIT and TRACYL are available if the relevant option is installed. They
are configured via separated machine data blocks and activated/deactivated via special statements in the program.
With SINUMERIK 802D, a maximum of two kinematic transformations (TRANSMIT, TRACYL)
can be configured; one of them can be activated via the program.

move such that the contour at the end face of the turned part is created by the milling tool.
The programmed Z axis (infeed) is continued to be traversed as a Z axis.
18.2.2
Configuring TRANSMIT
General
The transformation function TRANSMIT is configured via appropriate settings in the machine
data.
Note:
The Toolbox for SINUMERIK 802D offers a file with default machine data. By specifying appropriate values and loading this file into the control system, a quick start-up of TRANSMIT is
possible.

The names of the machine axes, channel axes and geometry axes used for the general machine data ($MN_AXCONF... and $MC_AXCONF... ) are also used for the transformation.
The geometry axis assignments made in $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB only apply
with the transformation disabled. For the transformation enabled, special assignments are
made.
Note
The machine axis names, channel axis names and geometry axis names specified for transformations must be different:
MD 10000: AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB,
MD 20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB,
MD 20060: AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB.
Exception with TRANSMIT:
The axis names of MD 20060 and MD 20080 (geometry and channel axes) can be the same for the
transformation TRANSMIT, e.g.: X, Y, Z. There is no Y axis if the transformation is not enabled.

$MC_TRANSMIT_POLE_SIDE_FIX_1 = 0
TRANSMIT
; Pole passed continuously
Passing the pole

The turning center in the point X=0, Y=0 of the TRANSMIT plane is called the pole (X machine axis intersects the turning center).
In the vicinity of the pole, even small changes in the position of the geometry axes X, Y
usually result in large changes in the position of the machine rotary axis (except: the path results only in a motion of the XM axis).
It is therefore not recommended to machine a workpiece in the vicinity of the pole, since in
some cases substantial feedrate reductions are required to avoid that the rotary axis is not
overloaded. Avoid to select TRANSMIT if the tool stands exactly in the pole. Avoid an intersection of the pole X0/Y0 with the path of the tool center point.

Extended machine kinematics

In addition to the required machine kinematics (see above), the linear axis YM is additionally
existing here. This is arranged vertically to XM and ZM and, together with them, constitutes a
right-handed Cartesian coordinate system.
These kinematics are typical for milling machines; they can be used to manufacture grooves
with which the groove wall and the groove bottom stand vertically to one another - if the milling diameter is less than the groove diameter (groove wall compensation). Otherwise, these
grooves can only be manufactured if the milling diameter matches exactly.

Activating / deactivating TRACYL

The TRACYL function is activated in the program via
TRACYL(d)
in a separate block and deactivated via
TRAFOOF
also programmed in a separate block.
d - machining diameter of the cylinder in mm
TRAFOOF will deactivate any active transformation function.

Explanation:
Depending on the programmed Y-Z path (straight line or path), the machine axes ZM and CM
move such that this contour is created by the milling tool on the peripheral surface of the cylindrical workpiece. The programmed X axis (infeed) is continued to be traversed as an X axis.

TRACYL
The cylinder rolled off at the outside diameter d results in the

peripheral surface with the programming plane Y -Z (G19).
Thus, e.g. the direction of rotation is also defined when

Configuring TRACYL
General
The transformation function TRACYL is configured via appropriate settings in the machine
data.
Note:
The Toolbox for SINUMERIK 802D offers a file with default machine data. By specifying appropriate values and loading this file into the control system, a quick start-up of TRACYL is
possible.

The names of the machine axes, channel axes and geometry axes used for the general machine data ($MN_AXCONF... and $MC_AXCONF... ) are also used for the transformation.
18-346

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

18.3
TRACYL
The geometry axis assignments made in $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB only apply

with the transformation disabled. For the transformation enabled, special assignments are
made.
Note
The machine axis names, channel axis names and geometry axis names specified for transformations must be different:
MD 10000: AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB,
MD 20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB,
MD 20060: AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB.
Exception with TRACYL:
The axis names of MD 20060 and MD 20080 (geometry and channel axes) can be the same
for the transformation TRACYL (e.g.: X, Y, Z) if there is no Y axis if the transformation is not
enabled. This is generally the case with turning machines.

$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_n
; Assignment of the channel axes for transformation n
n = 1 of 2 (number of the transformation)
Required assignment of the channel axes for the TRACYL transformation:
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_1[0]= Channel axis number of the axis radially to the rotary axis
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_1[1]= Channel axis number of the rotary axis
$MC_TRAFO_AXES_IN_1[2]= Channel axis number of the axis parallel to the rotary axis

This Description of Functions describes the functionalities of various interface signals that are
of general importance and are not described in other Descriptions of Functions.
Interfaces
The exchange of signals and data between the PLC user program and
NCK (Numerical Control Kernel)
HMI (display unit)
is carried out via various data areas. The PLC user program need not take care of the exchange. From the users view, this is carried out automatically.

Cyclic signal exchange

The control and status signals of the PLC/NCK interface are updated cyclically.
They can be divided into the following groups (see Fig. 17-1):

General signals
Mode signals
Channel signals
Axis/spindle signals
Access rights
The access to programs, data and functions is protected user-oriented by 8 hierarchical
protection levels. These protection levels are divided into:
4 password protection levels for Siemens, machine manufacturer (2x) and end user
4 protection levels for end users (interface signals V26000000.4 to .7)
This provides a safety concept to manage the access rights, which contains several levels.

19.2
Deleting the distance to go - channel-specific (V3200 0006.2)

The IS Delete distance to go (channel-specific) is only active for path axes.
The distance to go is deleted for all axes of the geometry group with the rising edge of the
interface signal, and it is immediately stopped by ramp stop. Then, the next program block is
started.
Axis/spindle lock (V380x 0001.3)

The IS Axis/spindle lock can be used for testing purposes.
Axis lock (for axis):
If the IS Axis lock is provided, no more partial position setpoints are output to the position
controller of this axis; the traversing movement of this axis is thus disabled. The position
control loop remains closed and the remaining following error will be compensated. If an axis
is traversed with axis lock, the actual value position display will show the set position, and the
velocity actual value display will show the setpoint velocity, whereby the machine axis does
not actually travel. The IS RESET (V3000 0000.7) is used to set the position actual value
display to the real actual value of the machine. The traversing commands for this axis are still
output to the PLC. If the interface signal is canceled, the corresponding axis can be traversed
normally again. If the interface signal Axis lock is provided for a traversing axis, the axis will
be stopped with ramp stop.
Spindle interlocking (for spindle):
If the IS Spindle lock is provided, no more speed setpoint values are output to the speed
controller for this spindle in control mode and no more position partial setpoint values are
output to the position controller in positioning mode. The spindle motion is thus locked. The
speed actual value display will display the speed setpoint. The spindle locking is canceled by
Reset or program end (M2) and restarting the program. If the interface signal Spindle lock
is provided for a rotating spindle, the spindle is stopped according to its acceleration
characteristic.
The cancellation of Axis/spindle lock (edge change 1 0) will only come into effect if the
axis/spindle is at a standstill (i.e. if the interpolation setpoint is no longer present). The new
movement starts with new setpoints. (e.g.: new program block with movement settings in AUTOMATIC mode).
Note: Different actual values between simulated and real axes!
Follow -up mode (V380x 0001.4)

If an axis/spindle is in follow-up mode, its setpoint position will follow the current actual
position. In follow-up mode, the position setpoint value is not provided from the interpolator,
but is derived from the current actual position. Since the position actual value of the axis is
continued to be acquired, re-referencing of the axis is not necessary after canceling the
follow-up mode.
Zero speed, clamping and positioning monitoring are not active in follow-up mode.
Effect:
The IS Follow-up mode is only applicable if the servo enable of the drive has been canceled
(e.g. by the IS Servo enable = 0 signal or inside the control system due to a fault), and/or
servo enable is provided again.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
19-361

19.2
IS Follow-up mode = 1:
If the IS Servo enable is canceled, the position setpoint value of the relevant axis is followed
up the actual value continuously. This state is signaled to the PLC using the IS Follow-up
active (V390x 0001.3). If the IS Servo enable is then set again, a repositioning to the last
programmed position is carried out internally in the control system if a part program is active
(REPOSA: Approach on a straight path with all axes).
Otherwise:
the axis motion will start at the new actual position possibly changed.
IS Follow-up mode = 0:
If the IS Servo enable is canceled, the old position setpoint value is maintained. If the axis is
pushed off its position, a following error between the position setpoint value and the position
actual value occurs, which is compensated by the control system when the IS Servo enable
is set. The axis motion starts at the setpoint position which existed before Servo enable was
canceled.
In Stop state, the IS Follow-up active (V390x 0001.3) is at 0.
Clamping or zero speed monitoring are active.
Position measuring system 1 (V380x 0001.5)

A position encoder can be connected to the spindle. In this case, the signal for the spindle
must be set.
This signal is in any case required for the axes. A position encoder must be provided.
Servo enable (V380x 0002.1)

If Servo Enable is provided for the drive, the position control loop of the axis/spindle will be
closed. The axis/spindle is thus in position control.
If Servo Enable is disabled, the position control loop will be opened, and the speed control
loop of the axis/spindle will be opened with delay.
IS Position controller active (V390x 0001.5) will be set to 0-signal (checkback signal).
Enabling:
Servo Enable for the drive can be set and disabled from the following points:
1. from the PLC user program using the interface signal Servo enable (normal case)
Application: Disabling of Servo Enable prior to clamping an axis/spindle.
2. Internally in the control system, servo enable is disabled in case of various faults on the
machine, the drive, the position encoder or the control system (fault).
Application: In case of a fault, all axes moving must be stopped by rapid stop.
3. internally in the control system in case of the following events: IS EMERGENCY STOP
(V2600 0000.1) is present
Disabling servo enable for a moving axis/spindle:
19-362
The spindle is decelerated to standstill using rapid stop, taking into account
MD 36610: AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration of brake ramp in case of errors).
Then alarm 21612 Servo enable reset during the movement is output.
The position control loop of the axis/spindle will be opened. Checkback message to the
PLC using IS Position controller active (V390x0001.5) = 0 signal. In addition, the timer for
the time delay of servo enable (MD 36620: SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME (servo disable delay time) is started.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

19.2
Once the actual velocity reaches the standstill range, Servo Enable will be canceled.
Checkback message to PLC with IS Speed controller active (V390x0001.6) = 0 signal.
The servo enable of the drive is canceled at the latest after expiration of the time defined in
MD 36620: SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME.
Caution: If you have set the servo enable shutdown delay too small, servo enable will be
disabled even if the axis/spindle is still traversing/rotating. It will then suddenly be stopped
with setpoint 0.
The actual position value of the axis/spindle will still be acquired by the control system.
This state of the axis/spindle can only be changed after RESET.

Interpolation axis group:
All axes involved in the interpolation will be stopped if Servo Enable is disabled for one of the
axes involved.
The axes are stopped as described above. All axes of the geometry group will be stopped
with rapid stop. In addition, alarm 21612 Servo enable reset during the movement is output.
An execution of the NC program is then no longer possible.
Signals for digital drives, to axis/spindle

Ramp function generator rapid stop (V380x 4000.1)
Rapid stop is requested by the PLC user program for the drive. The drive is then stopped
without a ramp function (with speed setpoint 0). Servo enable remains stored.
Speed setpoint smoothing (V380x 4000.3)

The PLC user program requests a filter for smoothing the speed setpoint for the axis/spindle.
The smoothing is enabled in the drive module only under certain conditions.
Drive parameter record selection A, B, C (V380x 4001.0 to .2)

With SIMODRIVE 611UE, the bit combination A, B, C can be used to select up to 8 different
drive parameter records from the PLC user program.
Integrator disabled for speed controller (V380x 4001.6)

The PLC user program disables the integrator of the speed controller for the drive. The speed
controller is thus switched over from a PI to a P controller.
Pulse enable (V380x 4001.7)

The PLC user program provides pulse enable for the axis/spindle. Pulse enable for the drive
module is only carried out if all enable signals are present.

A signal is provided from the NCK to the PLC that all existing drives are ready for operation.
The IS Drive Ready is provided from all axes/spindles (group signal).
NCK alarm is present (V2700 0003.0)

A signal is provided from the control system to the PLC that at least one NCK alarm is present. The channel-specific interface (V3300 0004.7) can be interrogated whether a standstill
of machining has been initiated.
Air temperature alarm (V2700 0003.6)

The ambient temperature or fan monitoring function has responded.
Channel -specific NCK alarm is present (V3300 0004.6)

A signal is provided from the control system to the PLC that at least one NCK alarm is present
for the channel. The IS NCK alarm with program standstill present (V33000004.7) can be
used to make a conclusion on the extent the current program execution has been interrupted
and/or aborted.
External language mode active (V3300 4001.0)

The control system signals to the PLC that the active program language for the part program
is not a SIEMENS language. A language switch-over has been carried out using G291.
NCK alarm with program stop present (V3300 0004.7)

The control system signals to the PLC that at least one NCK alarm is present for the channel
which has interrupted and/or aborted the current program execution (program standstill).
Follow -up active (V390x 0001.3)

Follow-up mode is active for this axis.
(Follow-up in detail: refer to the IS Follow-up mode (V380x0001.4))
Axis/spindle stopped (V390x 0001.4)

The current actual velocity of the axis and/or the actual speed of the spindle is within the
range defined as the standstill. This range is defined by MD 36060: STANDSTILL_VELO_TOL
(max. velocity/speed for the signal Axis/spindle stopped).
19-364

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)

19.3
Position controller active (V390x 0001.5)

The position controller for the axis/spindle is closed; the position control is active.
Speed controller active (V390x 0001.6)

The speed controller for the axis/spindle is closed; the speed control is active.
Current controller active (V390x 0001.7)

The current controller for the axis/spindle is closed; the current control is active.
Lubrication pulse (V390x 1002.0)

The IS Lubrication pulse is sent by NCK and changes its state, as soon as the axis/spindle
has traveled a distance longer than defined by MD 33050: LUBRICATION_DIST (distance to
be traversed for lubrication from PLC).
Signals for digital drives, from axis/spindle

Ramp function generator disabling active (V390x 4000.1)
The drive feeds back to the PLC that ramp function generator quick stop is active. This will
stop the drive without a ramp function (with speed setpoint 0).
Speed setpoint smoothing active (V390x 4000.3)

The PLC user program requests a filter for smoothing the speed setpoint for the axis/spindle.
The smoothing is activated in the drive module only under certain conditions.
Active drive parameter records A, B, C (V390x 4001.0 to .2)

The drive module feeds back to the PLC which drive parameter block is currently active. With
SIMODRIVE 611UE, the bit combinations A, B, C can be used to select 8 different drive
parameter records from the PLC.
DRIVE ready (V390x 4001.5)

Response that the drive is ready for operation. Thus, the preconditions of the drive for
traversing the axis/spindle are given.
This message is dependent on the SIMODRIVE 611UE parameter 1012.2:
Value=1 (default): is reported if
terminals 48 and 63 of the power supply module, as well as terminal 663 of the controller
module are enabled and no drive alarm is pending.
Value =0: is reported if no drive alarm is pending.

6FC5 697-2AA10-0BP2 (11.03) (DF)
19-365

19.3
Integrator of speed controller disabled (V390x 4001.6)

The intergrator of the speed controller is interlocked. The speed controller has thus been
switched over from a PI to a P controller.
Pulses enabled (V390x 4001.7)

Pulse enable for the drive module is provided. The axis/spindle can thus be traversed.
Motor temperature prewarning (V390x 4002.0)

The drive module signals to the PLC that the motor temperature has exceeded the warning
threshold. If the motor temperature remains too high, the drive is stopped after expiration of a
defined time (drive MD) and pulse enable is disabled.
Heat sink temperature prewarning (V390x 4002.1)

The drive module signals to the PLC that the heat sink temperature has exceeded the warning
threshold. After 20 seconds, pulse enable is canceled for the drive module concerned.
Acceleration process completed (V390x 4002.2)

The signal signals that the speed actual value has reached the new setpoint value taking into
account the tolerance band set on the drive. Thus, the acceleration process is completed.
Following speed variations due to load changes have no effect on the interface signal.
|Md| < Mdx (V390x 4002.3)

The signal signals that the current torque |Md| is less than the threshold torque set in the drive
Mdx.
|nact| < nmin (V390x 4002.4)

The signal signals that the speed actual value |nist| is less than the set minimum speed nmin.
nact| < nx (V390x 4002.5)

The signal signals that the speed actual value |nact| is less than the set threshold speed nx.
nact = nset (V390x 4002.6)

It is signaled to the PLC that the speed actual value nact has reached the new setpoint value,
taking into account the tolerance band set on the drive, and that this value continues to be
within the tolerance band.
Variable signaling function (V390x 4002.7)

Using the variable signaling function, the SIMODRIVE 611UE can monitor any parameter for
exceeding a defined threshold and feed it back to the PLC as an interface signal.
The quantity to be monitored is defined using 611UE machine data.

Signals from PLC to HMI
OP key lock (V1900 5000.2)

The IS OP key lock can be used to disable (1 signal) or enable (0 signal) the operator panel
keyboard for the operator.
Program number (VB1700 1000) (not available for 802D base line)
A defined program number is transferred from PLC to HMI if an NC program is to be selected from
the PLC. The currently selected NC program can be saved and also reselected via the command
interface (see VB 1700 1001).
With SINUMERIK 802D, programs are managed via their names (STRING). To assign a program
number to a program name, the file PLCPROG.LST has been implemented in the control. In this
assignment list, program numbers for a maximum of 255 programs can be defined and assigned.
The use of the numbers is divided according to the protective areas of the programs:
1 to 100:
User area (protection level of the end user)
101 to 200:
Machine manufacturer (protection level of the machine manufacturer)
201 to 255:
SIEMENS (SIEMENS protection level).
The file PLCPROG.LST can be edited under the lower end user protection level using the following
operation: System -> PLC -> Program list, or using the normal program editor
(Program Manager -> User cycles). For the editor, however, it is recommended to set at least the
machine manufacturer protection level. This file can also be created externally and be loaded into
the control system via PCIN Tool / V.24 interface. This must be done observing the following
structure rule, with the header entry first:
%_N_PLCPROG_LST
;$PATH=/_N_CUS_DIR
Each line contains two colums. These are separated either via TAB, by spaces or via the
| character. The first column contains the program number, and the second column the
program name.
Example:
%_N_PLCPROG_LST
;$PATH=/_N_CUS_DIR
1|BOHR2.MPF
2|PUMPT14.MPF
54|BOHR3.MPF
Program number (VB 1700 1000) is related to the IS Program has been selected (V1700 2000.0)
and to the IS Error selecting the program (V1700 2000.1).
The program selection is started from the PLC by writing a program number >0. As soon as the HMI
detects a program number >0, it starts the internal processing of this task and sets the program
number (VB 1700 1000) to 0. The PLC waits until the acknowledgement signal has arrived from
HMI: V1700 2000.0 or V1700 2000.1 and evaluates them immediately. The program number and
acknowledgement signals provide a PLC cycle after they have received an acknowledgement cycle
and are then deleted by the PLC system automatically.

Command (VB 1700 1001) is related to the IS Command performed (V1700 2001.0) and to the
IS Error performing command (V1700 2001.1). The PLC task is started with the writing of
Command >0. As soon as the HMI detects a Command >0, it starts the internal processing of this
task and sets the command (VB 1700 101) to 0.
The PLC waits until it receives the acknowledge signal from the HMI: V1700 2001.0 or
V1700 2001.1 and evaluates this signal immediately. The acknowledge signals are available for one
PLC cycle after receiving of the acknowledge signal and are then deleted automatically by the PLC
operating system.

Error selecting the program (V1700 2000.1) (not available for 802D base line)
HMI signals to the PLC that the selection of the requested NC program has failed. This signal
provides a PLC cycle. It is related to VB1700 1000.
Command performed (V1700 2001.0) (not available for 802D base line)
HMI signals to the PLC that the command has been performed successfully. This signal provides a
PLC cycle. It is related to the VB1700 1001.
Error performing command (V1700 2001.1) (not available for 802D base line)

Other settings are possible with MD 22510: see Section 21.3.
At the end of the NC program or when aborting the NC program, the last status of the groups is
kept. The meaning of the G commands is explained in
Reference: Programming and Operation, Chapter Overview of Statements
Please note: It is not guaranteed that an PLC user program provides a block -synchronous interrelation between active NC block and existing G code. The interrelation is not provided, e.g. when
working with short blocks (as the time regards) in the continuous -path mode (G64).

MD number
FIRST_LANGUAGE
First language
Default: 1
Min. input limit: 1
Max. input limit: 2
Date type: BYTE
Unit: -
Meaning:
This machine data can be used to set the language (1 or 2) automatically displayed after each
system power up.
With the SINUMERIK 802D, 2 languages can be used at a time. Other languages implemented
in the control system in the delivery status can be loaded during start-up.
It is also possible to switch over the language temporarily using the appropriate softkey in the
System operating area. After Power On, the language set using this MD will be active again.

DISPLAY_RESOLUTION
Display resolution
Default: 3
Min. input limit: 0
Max. input limit: 5
Date type: BYTE
Unit: -
Meaning:
This machine data is used to define the number of decimal places for the position display of
linear axes if a metric system is used and, generally, for rotary axes.
Spindle positions are treated as rotary axes positions.
The position is displayed with a maximum of 10 characters including sign and decimal point.
A positive sign is not displayed.
By default, 3 places after the decimal point are displayed
MD value=3: Display unit = 10 - 3 [mm] or [degrees]

Min. input limit: 0
Max. input limit: 5
Date type: BYTE
Unit: -
Meaning:
This machine data is used to define the number of decimal places for linear axes if an inch scaling system is used.
The position is displayed with a maximum of 10 characters including sign and decimal point. A
positive sign is not displayed.
By default, 4 places after the decimal point are displayed
MD value=4: Display unit = 10 - 4 [inch]
For rotary axes and spindle positions, the display remains as defined acc. to MD 203.

DISPLAY_RESOLUTION_SPINDLE
Display unit for spindle values
Default: 1
Min. input limit: 0
Date type: BYTE

Meaning:
21.2
Max. input limit: 5

Unit: -

This machine data defines the number of decimal places for the display of the spindle speed.
The display is carried out with a max. of 10 characters including sign and decimal point. A positive sign is not displayed.
By default 1 place after the decimal point is displayed
MD value=1: display resolution = 10 - 1

MD number
AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB[0]...[4]
Machine axis name
Default:
Turning: (X1, Z1, SP, A1, B1)
Milling: (X1, Y1, Z1, SP, A1)
Min. input limit: a letter
Date type: STRING

Meaning:
Max. input limit: 15 characters

starting with a letter,
16th character reserved (end of string)
Unit: -

The name of the machine axis is entered in this machine data.
An axis identifier consists of a valid address letter (A, B, C, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z) followed by
an optional numerical extension; (1-99) should be used preferably.
The selected machine axis identifier must differ from the designation of geometry axes (X, Y,
Z) and further channel axes (MD 20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB - if a transformation
is intended (e.g.: TRANSMITT).
Note: Transformations are not implemented in SW release P1 of the SINUMERIK 802D.
A free machine axis identifier that has been entered (axis name) may not be a name,
address, vocabulary word or predefined identifier already used by the control system or
which is reserved for a different functionality (e.g.: SPOS, DIAMON, ...).
Note: Not the entire functionality of the SINUMERIK 802D control system is documented; a free
axis name may therefore only be used conditionally.
For machine axes, the following is recommended:

X1, Y1, Z1, U1, V1, W1, Q1
for linear axes,
A1, B1, C1
for rotary axes

MD number
PLC_IPO_TIME_RATIO
Factor of PLC task for power up (IPO)
Default: 2
Change valid after: Power On
Date type: DWORD
Meaning:
Min. input limit: 1
Unit: -

Division ratio between IPO and PLC task.
For example, a value of 2 means that the PLC task is only processed in every second IPO cycle. The PLC cycle time thus amounts to 2 IPO times. Thus, more runtime is provided for the
other tasks.
The PLC runtime may not exceed this PLC cycle time; otherwise, an alarm is generated with
PLC STOP.

10136
MD number
DISPLAY_MODE_POSITION
Display mode for actual position in the WCS
Default: 0
Min. input limit: 0
Max. input limit: 1
Data type: DWORD

Meaning:
Unit: -

specifies how to display both the position and the distance-to-go in the WCS.
0: Display as with up to and including P5
1: At the end of the block, the actual value display is basically equal to the programmed end
point, irrespective of the real machine position (e.g. as a result of the tool radius compensation).
The distance-to-go is equal to the distance-to-go to be traversed in fact. Logically, the actual
position displayed must be equal to the end position displayed, minus the distance-to-go, irrespective of the real machine position.
If the end-of-block points are modified compared to the NC program by chamfers, radii, contour
definitions, splines or SAR, these modifications are reflected on the display such as if they

AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB[0]...[2]
Assignment Geometry axis / channel axis
Min. input limit: 0
(0 means that the geometry axis is assigned to none channel axis)
Max. input limit: 5
Date type: BYTE
Unit: -
Meaning:
This MD is used to assigne a geometry axis a channel axis.

The assignment must be made for all 3 geometry axes (X, Y, Z). If no assignment is made for a
geometry axis, value 0 must be entered. Thus, the geometry axis does not exist and cannot be
programmed. For example, with the Turning technology, the 2nd geometry axis Y need not be
programmed -> entry: value 0 (see default for turning).
It is recommended to assign the first channel axes to the geometry axes.

20070
MD number
AXCONF_MACHAX_USED[0]...[4]
Machine axis number valid in the channel
Meaning:
This MD is used to assign a channel axis a machine axis.

SINUMERIK 802D has 5 channel axes.
For the axes enabled in the channel, channel identifiers must be specified in
MD 20080: AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB. These axes can be programmed.
A machine axis that has been assigned to none channel axis is not active, i.e. no axis control, no
display on the screen.
Each geometry axis that is to be programmed must be assigned a channel axis und thus indirectly
a machine axis. The remaining axes in the channel (apart from the geometry axes) are the additional axes; these can also be programmed.
Example of assignments of the machine axes (MA) to channel axes:

AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [0] = 3
;3rd MA is the 1st axis in the channel
;1st MA is the 2nd axis in the channel
;5th MA is the 3rd axis in the channel
; no assignment
Note: Do not leave gaps!, error example:
;1st MA is the 1st axis in the channel
;2nd MA is the 2nd axis in the channel
;gap in the list ...
;... of channel axes

20080
MD number
AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB[0]...[4]
Channel axis name
Default:
Turning: (X, Z, SP, , )
Milling: (X, Y, Z, SP, A)
Min. input limit:

a letter or space
Max. input limit: 15 characters,

starting with a letter,
16th character reserved (end of string)
Date type: STRING
Unit: -
Meaning:
The name of the channel axis is entered in this MD.

A channel axis is displayed in the WCS (workpiece coordinate system) using this name. This
name is also used in the program.
As a rule, the first two or three channel axes are used as geometry axes (see also MD 20050:
AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB). The remaining channel axes are designated as additional
axes.
The SINUMERIK 802D has 5 channel axes.
The following is recommended for channel axis names:

X, Y, Z, U, V, W, Q
for linear axes,
A, B, C
for rotary axes
In case of any deviations from the recommendations above, observe the rules for generating the
axis identifiers (see MD 10000: AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB).

MD number
GCODE_GROUPS_TO_PLC
G functions to PLC
Meaning:
specifies the G code group output to the interface NCK->PLC

The first interface is updated with each block change and after RESET. The initial settings of the G
groups will appear after the program start.
With SINUMERIK 802D, by default, only G group 2 is output withG4, G63, G74, G75, ... A maximum of 8 G groups can be output. The special protection level 1/1 to change the MD settings,
however, must always be observed.
CAUTION:It is not guaranteed that a PLC user program always provides a block-synchronous
interrelation between active NC block and existing G code. This is the case, e.g. in the
continous-path control mode (G64) when working with short blocks (in time regards)

LUBRICATION_DIST
Distance to be traversed for the PLC signal lubrication pulse
Default: 100 000 000
Change valid after: Power On
Date type: DOUBLE
Unit: mm, degrees
Meaning:
Distance to be traversed to trigger the lubrication pulse

After the distance traversed for the appropriate axis, the status of the axis-specific IS: Lubrication pulse (V390x 1002.0) is changed. It is thus possible to control a lubrication unit for an axis
from the PLC program depending on the traversed distance.
From Power On, the traversed distance is summed up.
