Axis parameters

P-AXIS-00516

Measurement methods

Description

The parameter defines the source of the probing signal during a measuring travel, e.g. the probing position can be latched in the drive or the probing signal can be provided by the PLC. This setting can also be changed in the NC program by the #MEAS command (see [PROG//Extended programming].

 

This parameter replaces the following old configuration parameters:

Remarks

If the parameter P-AXIS-00516 is not defined, the measurement method resulting from previous parameters is used for backward compatibility reasons.

P-AXIS-00517

Number of probing input

Description

The parameter defines the measuring channel which is used during a measurement travel. When the DRIVE measurement method is set (see P-AXIS-00516), it must also be parameterised in the drive (see [FCT-C4]).

The parameter replaces the setting antr.probing_input_nbr (P-AXIS-00430).

P-AXIS-00518

Probing signal edge

Description

The axis parameter defines the edge of the probing signal which is used to latch the position value.

The parameter replaces the setting kenngr.mess_neg_flanke (P-AXIS-00113).

P-AXIS-00086

Probe stroke for measurement types 2 and 4

Description

Some types of mechanical measuring probes have a limited stroke. After activating the probe, the axis continues to travel by the braking distance which is dependent on the axis speed and the allowed axis deceleration. In order to avoid damage to the probe, the maximum permitted stroke can be parametrised. This parameter is only effective for measurement types 2 and 4 (see P-CHAN-00057). When using these types, the measurement speed is limited in such a way that the braking distance is less than the probe stroke. If measurement speed correction is executed, a warning is output.

Parameter

kenngr.hub_messtaster

UNS32

Data range

0 ≤ hub_messtaster ≤ MAX(UNS32)

Axis types

Dimension

T: 0.1 µm

R: 0.0001°

Default value

Drive types

----

Remarks

A buffer exists between the interpolator and the position controller to calculate the parameters for feedforward control of axes. This results in a dead time between calculating a command value by the interpolator and its execution in the position controller. In the worst case, an error may occur during measurement travel because the interpolator, which monitors the stroke of the measuring probe, ignores the distance components in the buffer. This can be prevented by enlarging the actual measurement probe stroke.

P-AXIS-00467

Measurement travel offset for all measurement types

Description

The measurement travel offset defines how much further the axis is allowed to move past the programmed target position if the probe was not yet actuated and the target point is already reached. The parameter is not effective in measurement type 3 (see P-CHAN-00057with optional continue to the target point!

Parameter

----

Remarks

As of CNC Build V2.11.2010.09 P-AXIS-00467 replaces the parameter P-AXIS-00114. For compatibility reasons, the parameter continues to be available, but it should not be used in new applications because it only has an influence on measurement travels with measurement type 2 (see P-CHAN-00057).

The function of P-AXIS-00467 is more extensive; it can be used for all measurement types P-CHAN-00057 with the exception of measurement type 3 (optional continue motion up to the target point).

Remarks

It is recommended to set P-AXIS-00060 to either 1 or 2. The value 0 is only for backward compatibility with older version and requires additional settings (P-AXIS-00106).

If P-AXIS-00060 is assigned 1 or 2, the entry in P-AXIS-00106 is not used.

P-AXIS-00774

Position lag limit for fixed stop detection when measuring travel on fixed stop

Description

This parameter defines the position lag that must be exceeded to detect a fixed stop when measuring on a fixed stop.

When set to the value 0, the system check of the position lag to detect a fixed stop is deactivated.

If this parameter has the value < 0 (default assignment), a check is made whether P-AXIS-00769 has the value > 0 and this is used if necessary.

If P-AXIS-00769 is also < 0, the value of P-AXIS-00331 is used to detect the fixed stop.

P-AXIS-00775

Minimum time for fixed stop detection when measuring travel to fixed stop

Description

This parameter defines the length of time that the test conditions for detection of the fixed stop must be fulfilled when measuring to fixed stop so that the fixed stop is considered to be detected.

If this parameter has the value zero (default), the system checks whether P-AXIS-00770 has a value > 0 and, if so, this is used.

If P-AXIS-00770 is also 0, the value of P-AXIS-00332 is used as the time limit for fixed stop detection.

P-AXIS-00776

Minimum path to activate fixed stop detection when measuring travel to fixed stop

Description

This parameter defines how far to travel in the measuring block before fixed stop detection is activated. The value specified is a distance within the measuring block.

If the value is less than 0, the system checks whether the parameter P-AXIS-00771 has a value greater than or equal to zero and, if necessary, this is used; otherwise, the value zero is used for this parameter.

A value of zero activates fixed stop detection immediately at the start of the block.

If P-AXIS-00777 is parameterised at the same time, the smaller block motion path defined by the two parameters is used as the minimum path.

When measuring with several axes, the smallest block motion path of all axes involved in the measurement is used as the minimum path.

P-AXIS-00777

Minimum path to activate fixed stop detection when measuring travel to fixed stop, specified in per mill of block length

Description

This parameter defines the distance per mill of the measuring block that must be travelled before fixed stop detection is activated.

If the value is less than 0, the system checks whether P-AXIS-00772 has a value greater than or equal to zero and, if necessary, this is used; otherwise, fixed stop detection is activated at the start of the block.

A value of zero activates fixed stop detection immediately at the start of the block.

If P-AXIS-00776 is parameterised at the same time, the smaller block motion path defined by the two parameters is used as the minimum path.

When measuring with several axes, the smallest block motion path of all axes involved in the measurement is used as the minimum path.

The permitted maximum value is 1000. If this value is exceeded at controller start, the warning ID 110757 is output but the value is not automatically corrected.

If the parameter is still greater than 1000 at the start of a measuring travel, the error message ID 51026 is output and the program is aborted.

Remarks

If the error message ID 51026 is output at the start of a measuring travel and this parameter has a value less than 0, the value of the parameter P-AXIS-00772 must be checked.

P-AXIS-00778

Maximum permitted position change during fixed stop detection when measuring travel to fixed stop

Description

This parameter defines the maximum path which may be travelled in the time defined by P-AXIS-00775 to detect the fixed stop. Together with P-AXIS-00775 , an average velocity is defined but this may not be exceeded to detect the fixed stop.

If the value is less than 0, the system checks whether P-AXIS-00773 has a value greater than or equal to zero and, if necessary, this is used; otherwise, velocity monitoring for fixed stop detection is deactivated.
