Is read-only from the CNC, DNC and PLC. DATEDI Number of the screen element created using the WGDRAW New variables application that is being consulted. Is read-only from the CNC, DNC and PLC. Page 8 of 48 A new range of OEM subroutines has now been defined. Available subroutine ranges: General subroutines OEM subroutines SUB 0001 - SUB 9999 SUB 10000 - SUB 20000 Although OEM subroutines are treated like the general ones, the have the following restrictions: · They can only be defined in OEM programs, having the [O] attribute. Otherwise, it shows error 63 "Program subroutine number between 1 and 9999.". If the subroutine to be executed using CALL, PCALL or MCALL is an OEM subroutine and it is located in a program that does not the [O] attribute, it will issue Error 1255 "Subroutine restricted to OEM program". · 14 RPT instruction with program number definition From this version on, the RPT instruction can execute a portion of the same program or of the indicated program. (RPT N(expression), N(expression), P(expression)) The new parameter "P" indicates the number of the program located in RAM memory containing the two blocks defined by the N labels. · · If parameter "P" is not defined, the CNC interprets that the portion to be repeated is located in the same program. If the defined program number does not exist, it issues Error 69 "Program does not exist". Warning: i Since the RPT instruction does not interrupt block preparation or tool compensation, it may be used when using the EXEC instruction and while needing to maintain tool compensation active. 15 Improved non-random tool magazine management When the tool changer is configured as non-random, the tools must be placed in the tool magazine table in the pre-established order (P1 T1, P2 T2, P3 T3, P4 T4, etc.). With this improvement, it is possible to assign several tools to each tool position. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) TOOLMATY (P164) This g.m.p. is taken into account when using a non-random tool magazine. It indicates how many tools may be assigned to each turret position. 0 One tool per position 1 Several tools per position. By default 0 New range of OEM subroutines. Page 9 of 48 8040 CNC 13 New range of OEM subroutines. 8040 CNC 16 Improved drive parameter management From this version on, it also possible to save and load into a peripheral device or PC the drive parameter tables via Sercos serial line. For that, select the parameter page of the desired drive at the CNC and press the relevant softkey. A file saved from the CNC via WINDNC may be loaded into the drive via DDSSETUP and vice versa. 17 User and OEM arithmetic parameters There are now two new ranges of global arithmetic parameters. User parameters OEM parameters Range: P1000 - P1255. Range: P2000 - P2255 For compatibility with previous versions, global arithmetic parameters P100-P299 are maintained and may be used by the user, by the OEM and by the CNC cycles. There are now 2 new tables of global arithmetic parameters. Arithmetic parameter tables available: GUP Global parameters USP User parameters OEP OEM parameters P100-P299 P1000-P1255 P2000 - P2255 Changing an OEM parameter requires an OEM password. OEM parameters and subroutines having OEM parameters may only be written in OEM programs having the [O] attribute. On the MC and MCO models, when using OEM parameters in the configuration programs, these programs must have the [O] attribute. If they don't, an error will be issued when editing a user cycle that refers to OEM parameters in write mode. General machine parameters "ROPARMIN" and "ROPARMAX" may be used to protect any global parameter (user and OEM included) against being written. There is no restriction to read these parameters. 18 Exponential type of leadscrew backlash peak The additional command pulse used to make up for the possible leadscrew backlash in movement reversals may be rectangular or exponential. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) Improved drive parameter management If the duration of the rectangular pulse is adjusted for low speed, it could be excessive for high speed or insufficient for low speed when adjusted for high speed. In this cases, it is recommended to use the exponential type that applies a strong pulse at the beginning and decreases in time. Page 10 of 48 0 rectangular leadscrew backlash peak 1 exponential type of leadscrew backlash peak By default 0 A finer tuning of the leadscrew backlash consists in testing the circle geometry and watch for internal peaks when changing quadrants (left figure). In these cases, it is recommended to set bit 15 of g.m.p. "ACTBAKAN (P144)" to "1" to eliminate the internal peaks. Under these conditions, the CNC eliminates the leadscrew backlash peak as soon as it detects a movement reversal. If the internal peaks are not eliminated, adjust the leadscrew backlash compensation better. ACTBAKAN (P144) It has 16 bits counted from left to right. bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Function bit 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 It minimizes internal peaks detected with the circle geometry test Exponential leadscrew backlash peak Function Additional pulse with G2 / G3 By default, all bits are set to "0". 19 Functions associated to machine safety 19.1 Limit the feedrate of the axes and the spindle speed It is possible to limit the feedrate of the axes and the spindle turning speed. FLIMIT (P75) The a.m.p. "FLIMIT" sets the maximum feedrate for each axis and SLIMIT (P66) the s.m.p. "SLIMIT" sets the maximum turning speed for each spindle. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) FLIMITAC (M5058) When the PLC sets this signal high, it limits the feedrate of all the axes. It does not let any feedrate to exceed the value set by the corresponding a.m.p. "FLIMIT (P75)" . SLIMITAC (M5059) When the PLC sets this signal high, it limits the speed of all the spindles. It does not let any feedrate to exceed the value set by the corresponding s.m.p. "SLIMIT (P66)" . The limitation is applied in all work modes, including the PLC channel. When the mark is high, the CNC applies the limitation and when going low, it restores the programmed F or S. Functions associated to machine safety Page 11 of 48 8040 CNC Bit 16 of g.m.p. "ACTBAKAN (P144)" indicates the backlash peak being used. 8040 CNC When the spindle moves with PLCCNTL, the spindle limitation is ignored. 19.2 Cycle Start disabled by hardware errors If when pressing the Cycle-Start key, a hardware error is detected (Sercos board error, CAN board error, etc.), the CNC issues the corresponding error message and does not allow executing or simulating the program. 19.3 Maximum spindle machining speed. To limit the spindle speed, use the MDISL variable associated with speed limits. It is read-write from the PLC and read-only from DNC and CNC. This variable is also updated with the programmed S value, in the following cases: · When programming "G92 S" in MDI mode · When programming "G92 S" in ISO code in MC mode. · In MC mode, when a new speed limit is defined in the "SMAX" field. The speed limits entered via CNC, PLC (PLCSL) and DNC (DNCSL) keep the same functionality and priority unaffected by the new MDISL variable; in other words, the CNC keeps limiting the spindle speed like until now. In order to comply with the safety regulation, it is recommended to manage from the PLC the variables associated with speed limits as shown in the following example: · A new part-program cannot be executed without previously entering the speed limit. Otherwise, a message will be displayed. If the program is executed again, the limit does not have to be entered again, it is only required when executing the program for the first time. · · · · While executing a program if a new limit is entered in MDI, the new one will replace the previous one. In independent MC cycles it is not required to enter the SMAX because it is already defined in each cycle. If the program being executed already has a G92S, it will be validated only if it is smaller than the one programmed in MDI. When having two main spindles, the speed limit entered will be valid for both. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) Functions associated to machine safety PRG REA ()=CNCRD(OPMODA,R100,M1000) B0R100 AND INCYCLE = M100 ; DFU M100 = CNCRD(PRGN,R101,M1000) = CNCRD(MDISL,R102,M1000) ; M100 = CNCRD(PRGSL,R103,M1000) ; M100 AND CPS R101 NE R201 = M101 ; M100 AND CPS R101 EQ R201 ; Reading of OPMODA ; Indicator of program in execution ; At the beginning of the execution ; reads the program in execution ; and the S limitation from MDI ; During the execution ; and the S limitation from CNC ; If new program in execution ; activates mark M101 ; If same program in execution Page 12 of 48 = M102 ; M101 AND CPS R102 EQ 0 = ERR10 ; M101 AND CPS R102 NE 0 = MOV R101 R201 = MOV R102 R202 ; M102 AND CPS R102 NE 0 = MOV R102 R202 ; M100 AND CPS R202 LT R103 = CNCWR(R202,PLCSL,M1000) ; M100 AND CPS R202 GT R103 = CNCWR(R210,PLCSL,M1000) ; DFD M100 = CNCWR(R210,PLCSL,M1000) = CNCWR(R210,MDISL,M1000) ; END ; activates mark M102 ; If new program in execution ; and the "S" has not been limited from MDI ; Error 10: "The S has not been limited from MDI" ; If new program in execution ; and the "S" has been limited from MDI ; it copies the number of the program in execution ; and the S limitation from MDI ; If same program in execution ; and the "S" is limited again from MDI ; it copies the S limitation from MDI ; If program in execution ; and "S" limitation from MDI < "S" limitation from CNC ; Applies "S" limitation from the PLC with the value set in MDI ; If program in execution ; and "S" limitation from MDI > "S" limitation from CNC ; It does not limit "S" from PLC (R210=0) ; At the end of execution ; it cancels "S" limitation from the PLC ; and it resets the MDISL variable 20 Axes (2) controlled by a drive Until this version, when having 2 axes controlled by a single drive, the polarity of the analog output (command sign) always corresponded to that of the main axis. From this version on, since sometimes the turning direction of the two axes may be different, the sign of the command for each axis will taken into account [the one set by a.m.p "LOOPCHG (P26)"]. Warning This new version is not compatible with previous versions. On machines having axes controlled by a single drive the secondary axis might run away. Before installing the new software, make sure that the a.m.p. "LOOPCHG (P26)" of the associated axis has the same value as that of the main axis. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) 21 Mandatory home search The CNC forces a home search on an axis by setting the relevant REFPOIN* mark low in the following cases: · On CNC power-up · After executing SHIFT RESET · When the feedback is direct through the axes board and a feedback alarm occurs. Axes (2) controlled by a drive Page 13 of 48 8040 CNC 8040 CNC · · When losing feedback count via Sercos due to broken communication. Difference greater than 10 microns (0.00039") or 0.01º When changing machine parameters that affect the memory distribution, for example: number of axes. In all these cases, a home search must be carried out so the signal is set back high. 22 Change of active tool from the PLC If the tool change process is interrupted, the values of the tool magazine table and active tool may not reflect the machine's reality. To update the tool table, variables TOOL, NXTOOL, TOD and NXTOD that until now were read-only are now read-write from the PLC as long as a block or a part-program is not being executed or simulated. TOOL Number of the active tool NXTOOL Number of the next tool that is selected, but waiting for the execution of an M06 to become active. TOD Number of the active tool offset NXTOD Number of the offset of the next tool that is selected, but waiting for the execution of an M06 to become active. This way, it is possible to resume the tool change from the PLC and redefine the tool table according to their positions using the TMZT variable. To allocate a magazine position to the tool that is considered active by the CNC and is physically in the tool magazine, proceed as follows: 1. Cancel the tool, TOOL=0 and TOD=0 2.

SYNCHRO (P3) of the PLC axis indicating which axis it must synchronize with. Axis synchronization is carried out from the PLC by activating the general input "SYNCHRO" of the axis to be coupled as slave (PLC axis). To assure that both axes are stopped when they are being synchronized, we suggest: Change of active tool from the PLC Page 14 of 48 · The M function of the main channel must not end until the PLC's M function execution is completed and the ENABLE signal of the slave axis is set high. Once both axes are synchronized, it won't be possible to program movements of the PLC axis. Otherwise, error 1099 will be issued: "Do not program a slaved axis". During synchronization, it does not check whether the PLC axis gets in position or not. For this reason: · · · · The logic output "ENABLE" of the PLC axis is activated (allowing motion). The logic output "INPOS" of the PLC axis is deactivated (the axis is NOT in position). General input "INHIBIT" of the PLC axis is ignored, thus not being possible to prevent it from moving. The execution of the movement of the synchronized slave axis cannot be aborted even by activating the general input "PLCABORT". If an error occurs canceling the "ENABLE" logic outputs of all the axes, it also cancels the synchronization. To end synchronization, cancel the "SYNCHRO" general input of the PLC axis. To assure that the PLC axis recovers its position after the synchronization, it is recommended to use other 2 special M functions, one at the CNC and another one at the PLC. 24 Error register The "CNC" screen of the "STATUS" mode offers the softkey: [BB]. Pressing this softkey displays the error history indicating the error number and when it occurred. This information is very useful to the service technician. Pressing the [SAVE] softkey requests the number of the CNC program to store that information. If the service department asks you for that program, transfer it to a PC via DNC and send it to the corresponding address via internet. 25 Path JOG mode It is similar to the "Path Handwheel" mode. The "Path Handwheel" mode acts at the Handwheel position of the selector switch whereas the "Path JOG" acts at the continuous and incremental jog positions of the selector switch. "Path JOG" may be used to act upon the jog keys of an axis to move both axes of the plane at the same time for chamfering (straight sections) and rounding (curved sections). The CNC assumes as "Path JOG" the keys associated with the X axis. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) Error register Page 15 of 48 8040 CNC · To execute a special M function at the CNC so the PLC executes another M function in the PLC channel and activates the general input "SYNCHRO". 8040 CNC This feature must be managed from the PLC. To turn on or off the "Path JOG" work mode, use CNC logic input "MASTRHND" M5054, M5054 = 0 "Path JOG" function off. M5054 = 1 "Path JOG" function on. To indicate the type of movement, use CNC logic input "HNLINARC" M5053 M5053 = 0 Linear Path M5053 = 1 Circular path. For a linear path, indicate the path angle in the MASLAN variable (value in degrees between the linear path and the first axis of the plane) For an arc, indicate the arc center coordinates in the MASCFI, MASCSE variables (for the first and second axes of the main plane) Variables MASLAN, MASCFI and MASCSE may be read and written from the CNC, DNC and PLC. Operation When pressing one of the associated keys, X+ and X-, the CNC acts as follows: Selector Switch Position Continuous ON OFF Incremental ON Handwheel Path JOG Type of movement OFF Only the axis and in the indicated direction Both axes in the indicated direction along the indicated path Only the axis, the selected distance and in the indicated direction Both axes, the indicated distance and direction, but along the indicated path It ignores the keys. The rest of the keys always operate the same way regardless of whether the "Path JOG" function is on or off. It only moves the selected axis and in the indicated direction. NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) Considerations It assumes as axis feedrate the one selected in JOG mode and it is affected by the override. If F0 is selected, it assumes the one indicated by a.m.p. "JOGFEED (P43)". The [Rapid] key is ignored. The movements in "Path JOG" observe the travel limits and zone boundaries The movements in "Path JOG" may be aborted: · By pressing the [CYCLE STOP] key · By selecting one of the handwheel positions of the JOG selector switch. Path JOG mode Page 16 of 48 26 Tool inspection The tool inspection mode now offers a new option: "Modify Offsets". This window shows (at the top) a help graphic and the tool fields that can be edited. When editing the active tool, it is possible: To modify the I and K data. Select another tool for calibration (T xx Enter). When NOT editing the active tool, it is possible: To modify the I, K and D data. Select another tool for calibration (T xx Enter). The I and K values The values entered in the I, K fields are incremental, they are added to the ones already in the table. The "I" data is given in diameter. The new g.m.p. "MAXOFFI (P165)" and "MAXOFFK (P166)" indicate the maximum value that may be entered in each field. When trying to enter a greater value, the relevant message will be displayed. Warning To assume the new I and K values, select the tool again. 27 New instructions in the configuration language The new token "UNMODIFIED" of the configuration language indicates that the associated element must not take the editing focus. ;(UNMODIFIED) It is programmed as a prefix of the instructions ;(W1=GUP100) It may be used to associate the "W1" data with the value of a global parameter, variable or resource of the PLC and the "W1" element is assigned the editing focus. ;(AUTOREFRESH W6=FLWEX) It refreshes (updates) the value of the graphic element W6 and it assigns the editing focus to it. The resulting new instructions are: ;(UNMODIFIED W1=GUP170) It associates the "W" data with the value of a global parameter, variable or resource of the PLC, but the "W1" element does not take the editing focus. ;(UNMODIFIED AUTOREFRESH W6=FLWEX) It refreshes (updates) the value of the graphic element W6 but it does not take the editing focus.

The units set the beginning and end of radius compensation applied by the CNC (like it was before). x0 It approaches the starting point going around the corner x1 it goes directly perpendicular to the point (without going around the corner) COMPTYPE= x0 COMPTYPE= x1 The tens indicate whether the additional block of the compensation is executed at the end of the current block or at the beginning of the next block with compensation. 00 It is executed at the end of the current block (like in previous versions). Executing block by block (single block mode), the first movement ends at point "B". 10 It is executed at the beginning of the next block with compensation Executing block by block (single block mode), the first movement ends at point "A". By default COMPTYPE=00 When the beginning or end of the compensation takes place to a different plane (there is an intermediate vertical movement) and at an angle greater than 270º it is recommended to check the CNC's behavior as shown next: At the beginning of the compensation, the tool should be positioned before penetrating into the part. The additional block must be NEW FEATURES (SOFT M: 7.XX) Improvements in tool compensation Page 18 of 48 At the end of the compensation, the tool should withdraw from the part without penetrating into it. The additional block must be executed in the upper plane and therefore together with the second block "COMPTYPE=10". 29 Improvements in high speed machining The number of blocks analyzed in advance (look-ahead) has been increased. From 50 blocks to 75. The extreme cases have been improved, such as small blocks (of a few microns) in order to machine faster and more smoothly. Jerk control can now be applied in Look-ahead, g.m.p. "JERKACT (P160) and TLOOK (P161)". NEW FEATURES Using Jerk in Look-ahead, a trapezoidal acceleration profile is applied with a ramp slope equivalent to the maximum jerk of the axis. The maximum jerk depends on the value assigned to a.m.p. "JERKLIM (P67)" of that axis and of the axes involved in the programmed path. (SOFT M: 7.XX) JERKACT (P160) This parameter has 16 bits counted from left to right. Bit 16 indicates whether to apply Jerk control in Look-ahead or not. (0) Not applied. Improvements in high speed machining Page 19 of 48 8040 CNC executed in the upper plane and therefore together with the first block "COMPTYPE=00". 8040 CNC (1) Applied. By default 0 (not applied) If "Jerk Control in look ahead" has been selected, the CNC analyzes the a.m.p "JERKLIM (P67)" of each axis. During look-ahead, the CNC assumes, for the axes with "JERKLIM (P67)=0", the value suggested in that parameter. TLOOK (P161) Real block processing time for look-ahead. If assigned a value smaller than the real one, the machine will vibrate and if assigned a value greater than the real one the machining slows down. Possible values Integers between 0 and 65535 ms By default 0 This value is calculated as follows: Execute, in G91 and G51 E0.1, a program with many small blocks, at least 1000. For example: "X0.01 Y0.01 Z0.01". Measure the program execution time, making sure that the machine does not vibrate. Divide the execution time by 1000 (or the number of blocks executed) and assign the resulting value, in microseconds, to g.m.p. "TLOOK (P161)". We recommend the use of the oscilloscope function and verify that the internal variable VLOOKR remains constant which means that there is no vibration. 30 New graphics option GRAPHICS (P16) New value (4) for g.m.p.

On certain machines, due to lack of mechanical positioning repeatability of the probe's, the probe must be calibrated before each tool calibration. Instead of redefining machine parameters PRBXMIN, PRBXMAX, PRBYMIN, PRBYMAX, PRBZMAX, PRBZMIN every time the probe is calibrated, those coordinates may be indicated in variables X, U, Y, V, Z, W, respectively. The CNC does not modify the machine parameters and only takes into account the coordinates indicated in X, U, Y, V, Z, W during this calibration. If any of the X, U, Y, V, Z is left out, the CNC takes the value assigned to the corresponding machine parameter. 31.1 Measure or calibrate the tool length.
