Commanding the upload
The Diagnosis upload function can be commanded by the following interfaces
- PLC via Control unit
- HMI via Object access
- NC command in the NC program
- a: Before processing, i.e. while the NC program is decoded
- b: Simultaneously with processing (during interpolation)
The upload process can be commanded in parallel via an interface. The individual commands are not sorted in a queue and processed one after the other. In other words, when a parallel task (multi-channel functionality, CNC objects, PLC) requests an upload, only the last upload request is considered. If necessary, each sequential upload must be synchronised at the application level with tasks running in parallel.
A distinction is made between parameterising the upload (filename, volume, etc.) and the upload start (command). The parameters previously set are adopted at every upload start.
