Axis parameter

Overview

The specific parameters for spindle axes and linear axes are described here. Refer to the documentation [AXIS] for details of further parameters available for setting axes.

Operation mode settings (P-AXIS-00015) for spindle axes

0x4: A modulo calculation always takes place after the destination position has been reached. Regardless of the operation mode selected for rotary axes, a modulo calculation is always executed in the position controller. In this way, modulo circle compensation can be executed if required.
0x100: For a spindle an automatic homing before positioning the spindle can be pre-vented. This is, of course, relevant only if the axis is not referenced. The function is drive-dependent.
0x200: Axis for kinematic "C axis" transformation

Operation mode settings (P-AXIS-00015) for path axes

0x1: Linear axis
0x40: Face turning axis
0x80: Longitudinal turning axis

P-AXIS-00015	Axis mode
Description	Axes can be traversed in different operating modes.
Parameter	kenngr.achs_mode
Data type	UNS32
Data range	0x00000001 - 0x10000000
Axis types	T, R, S
Dimension	T: ----	R,S: ----
Default value	0x00000001
Drive types	----
Remarks

P-AXIS-00016	Logical axis number
Description	The logical axis number is a system-wide unique identifier for each axis. The entire management of axis data in the NC kernel takes place using the logical axis number.
Parameter	kopf.achs_nr
Data type	UNS16
Data range	0 < achs_nr < MAX(UNS16)
Axis types	T, R, S
Dimension	T: ----	R,S: ----
Default value	1
drive types.	----
Remarks	It is not allowed to use the same logical axis number more than once. The logical axis number "0" is not allowed. The assignment of an axis designation in the NC program to a logical axis (axis number) takes place in the channel parameters [CHAN]. This entry is not adopted when the axis parameter list is updated. Updates only become effective when the controller is rebooted.

P-AXIS-00018	Axis type (linear axis, rotary axes, spindle)
Description	This parameter specifies the axis type of an axis.
Parameter	kenngr.achs_typ
Data type	STRING
Data range	Linear axis (ACHSTYP_TRANSLATOR) : 0x0001 Rotary axis (ACHSTYP_ROTATOR) : 0x0002 Spindle (ACHSTYP_SPINDEL): : 0x0004
Axis types	T, R, S
Dimension	T: ----	R,S: ----
Default value	ACHSTYP_TRANSLATOR
Drive types	----
Remarks	Depending on the axis type that is set, special functionalities are addressed in the NC kernel. Examples: - modulo calculation for rotary axes, - speed monitoring for spindles

P-AXIS-00220	Limiting velocity for the measurement system
Description	Especially with spindles, the limit at which the measuring system supplies erroneous signals at higher rotation speeds can be exceeded. The parameter describes the velocity value at which the position controller has to switch over to open-loop controlled operation mode.
Parameter	getriebe[i].vb_regelgrenze
Data type	UNS32
Data range	0 ≤ vb_regelgrenze ≤ MAX(UNS32)
Axis types	S
Dimension		S: 0.001°/s
Default value	200000
drive types.	Simulation, Conventional, Terminal, Lightbus, Profidrive
Remarks

P-AXIS-00216	Limit for spindle speed 'zero'
Description	Especially in the case of spindles, the barrier should be given below which rotational speed monitoring in the position controller shows the state 'speed zero'.
Parameter	getriebe[i].vb_min_null
Data type	UNS32
Data range	0 ≤ vb_min_null ≤ MAX(UNS32)
Axis types	S
Dimension		S: 0.001°/s
Default value	100
drive types.	----
Remarks

P-AXIS-00058	Diameter programming absolute
Description	If diameter programming is to occur with active absolute programming (G90), the parameter must be set to TRUE.
Parameter	kenngr.durchm_prog_abs
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0/1
Axis types	T
Dimension	T: ----
Default value	0
drive types.	----
Remarks

P-AXIS-00059	Diameter programming relative
Description	If diameter programming is to occur with active incremental programming (G91), the parameter must be set to TRUE.
Parameter	kenngr.durchm_prog_rel
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0/1
Axis types	T
Dimension	T: ----
Default value	0
drive types.	----
