Status data: Access via HLI
The PLC can access the data listed below via the HLI.
Block search active | |
Description | The interpolator works in block search mode. No axis motion occurs. As long the block search process in the interpolator remains in the HLI_BS_ACTIVE or HLI_BS_WAIT_FOR_PLC_OFF state, this value indicates TRUE. |
Signal flow | CNC → PLC |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.block_search_active_r |
Data type | BOOL |
Value range | [TRUE = active - Interpolator works in block search mode., FALSE] |
Access | PLC is reading |
Block search, state | ||
Description | Indicates the current state of the block search mode in the interpolator. | |
Signal flow | CNC → PLC | |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.block_search_state_r | |
Data type | INT | |
Value range | Constant | Value |
HLI_BS_INACTIVE | 0 | |
HLI_BS_WAIT_FOR_PLC_ON | 1 | |
HLI_BS_ACTIVE | 2 | |
HLI_BS_WAIT_FOR_PLC_OFF | 3 | |

Covered block motion path | |
Description | Part of the path motion traversed in the current block in relation to the total path. This status datum contains the current block position referred to the path distance in space in the motion block in per mil sd(t).
|
Signal flow | CNC → PLC |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.covered_distance_r |
Data type | DINT |
Unit | 0.1 % |
Access | PLC is reading |
Special features | If a main axis participates in the motion, the covered path motion is in relation to the block path of the first three axes. If no main axis participates in the motion, the covered path motion is the position lag with the longest motion time in relation to the block path. |
Currently covered path in the NC program (PCS) | |
Description | Reads the current distance covered in the NC program since program start or since the last # DISTANCE PROG START CLEAR NC command. The calculation is based on the current position in the current NC block. |
Signal flow | CNC → PLC |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.dist_prog_start |
Data type | UDINT (* LREAL) |
Unit | 0.1 µm |
Access | PLC is reading |
Special features | * As of CNC Build V3.1.3104.01 the data element is provided in LREAL forma. |
Line counter, NC program | |
Description | The datum indicates the NC program line which is the source of the command just processed by the interpolator. The value is derived from the number of NC program lines which the decoder has read since the NC program started. All the lines read the decoder are counted, i.e. repeatedly read lines, empty and comment lines. All commands to the interpolator resulting from decoding a NC program line are assigned to the associated line counter. |
Signal flow | CNC → PLC |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.block_count_r |
Data type | UDINT |
Access | PLC is reading |
Block search, distance from continuation position | |
Description | If a NC program is started in block search modus, the NC program is processed in simulative mode (without axis motion) until the continuation position is reached. Block search is then in the HLI_BS_WAIT_FOR_PLC_OFF state and calculates the distance between the actual positions of the axis and the continuation position. If block search is in the HLI_BS_RETURNING_TO_CONTOUR state, this value is refreshed cyclically. |

ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.block_search_path_deviation_r |
Data type | UDINT |
Unit | 0.1 µm |
Value range | [0, MAX_SGN32] |

Stop condition | |
Description | Displays the condition why the current motion was stopped. |
Signal flow | CNC → PLC |
ST path | gpCh[channel_idx]^.bahn_state.stop_conditions_r |
Data type | DINT |
Value range | See Value range of stop conditions with explanations. |
