Gear speed selection/parameter set changeover

The parameter P-CHAN-00052 (main_spindle_gear _change) in the channel parameter list activates the M functions M40-M45 to select the gear stages of the main spindle. The M functions M40-M45 can be freely used if gear changes are disabled.

Notice

When gear changes P-CHAN-00052 (main_spindle_gear_change) are activated, the M functions M40-M45 must be assigned the synchronisation method MVS_SVS by the parameter P-CHAN-00041 (m_synch[..]).

Output is always in the spindle-specific range. The PLC_INFO bit is not used here.

Possible:

• Output to other axes by axis-specific programming (e.g. X[M40]). The gear change function is then not active.

Not possible:

• Output to a spindle by axis-specific programming
• A default output to axes or spindles (channel parameters).
• The M functions M40-M45 are defined by specifying the prescribed synchronisation method.

Programing Example

Initialisation in the channel parameter list:

m_synch[40]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

m_synch[41]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

m_synch[42]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

m_synch[43]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

m_synch[44]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

m_synch[45]               0x00000002     MVS_SVS

Activating gear changing:
