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". · 13 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". NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) New range of OEM subroutines. Page 8 of 46 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. 14 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. 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 15 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. 16 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 NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) 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. Improved nonrandom tool magazine management Page 9 of 46 8040 CNC Warning: 8040 CNC On the TC and TCO 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. 17 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. 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. Bit 16 of g.m.p. "ACTBAKAN (P144)" indicates the backlash peak being used. 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. NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) ACTBAKAN (P144) It has 16 bits counted from left to right. bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 Function bit 9 10 11 12 13 14 Function Exponential type of leadscrew backlash peak Additional pulse with G2 / G3 Page 10 of 46 bit 7 8 Function bit 15 16 Function It minimizes internal peaks detected with the circle geometry test Exponential leadscrew backlash peak By default, all bits are set to "0". 18 Functions associated to machine safety 18.1 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. 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. When the spindle moves with PLCCNTL, the spindle limitation is ignored. 18.2 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. 18.3 Maximum spindle machining speed. The following safety regulation requires limiting the spindle speed on lathes: "A program will not be executed in machining mode unless the maximum spindle speed value for the part is entered as well as the proper maximum speed for the part holding fixture for the machine. If the operator does not enter or validate these speeds every time the program is changed, it will not be possible to execute the program machining mode. The speed cannot exceed the lower speed among the maximum set by parameter, the maximum set by program and the maximum entered by hand NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) Functions associated to machine safety A new variable (MDISL) associated with speed limits is now available to make this safety maneuver easier. It is read-write from the PLC and read-only from DNC and CNC. Page 11 of 46 8040 CNC 8040 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 TC mode. · In TC 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 TC 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 T: 8.XX) 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 = 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 ; 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 ; 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 Functions associated to machine safety Page 12 of 46 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 ; 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 19 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. 20 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. · 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. NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) 21 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 Axes (2) controlled by a drive Page 13 of 46 8040 CNC 8040 CNC 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. Assign the relevant position using the TMZT variable. When trying to write in variables TOOL, NXTOOL, TOD and NXTOD check the OPMODA variable to make sure that no block or partprogram is being executed or simulated. The following bits must be at "0". bit 0 bit 1 bit 2 bit 8 OPMODA Program in execution Program in simulation Block in execution via MDI, JOG Block in execution via CNCEX1 22 Synchronize a PLC axis with a CNC axis To synchronize an axis of the PLC channel with another one of the CNC channel (main channel), set a.m.p. 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: · 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". 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. · NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) 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). Synchronize a PLC axis with a CNC axis Page 14 of 46 · 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. 23 Minimum step "L" in cycles G83, G60 and G61 A new "L" parameter has been added to the drilling cycles G83, G60 and G61. G83 X Z I B D K H C L R G60 X Z I B Q A J D K H C S L R G61 X Z I B Q A J D K H C S L R It is an optional parameter used with "R" values other than "1". It indicates the minimum value allowed for the drilling peck. If not programmed, a value of 0 mm is assumed. 24 Threads with different entries Available when setting s.m.p. "M19TYPE (P43)=1" A new "V" parameter has been added to the tapping cycles G86 and G87. G86-G87: X Z Q R I B D L C J A V It is an optional parameter that indicates the number of thread entries to make. If not programmed or programmed with a value of "0", it means that the thread has only one entry. 25 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. Minimum step "L" in cycles G83, G60 and G61 NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) 26 Proportional and Derivative Gain with the "C" axis For smoother machining, the proportional and derivative gains are canceled automatically when machining in the XC and ZC planes. Page 15 of 46 8040 CNC · General input "INHIBIT" of the PLC axis is ignored, thus not being possible to prevent it from moving. 8040 CNC CAXGAIN (P163) This g.m.p. lets the OEM decide whether these gains are to be canceled or not. 0 They are canceled 1 They are not canceled Default value With "CAXGAIN (P163) =1" and high values of FFGAIN and DERGAIN the machine could be jerky depending on the type of part being machined. In these cases, we suggest to select a gain range whose FFGAIN AND DERGAIN values small or zero. 27 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 Z axis. 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) NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) Variables MASLAN, MASCFI and MASCSE may be read and written from the CNC, DNC and PLC. Path JOG mode Page 16 of 46 When pressing one of the associated keys, Z+ and Z-, 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. 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. · By setting the general logic input "MASTRHND (M5054)" =0. · Setting the general logic input "\STOP (M5001)"=0. 28 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). NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) 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. Tool inspection Page 17 of 46 8040 CNC Operation 8040 CNC Warning To assume the new I and K values, select the tool again. 29 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. 30 Oscilloscope function The oscilloscope function is a help tool to adjust the CNC and the drives. It is possible to represent 4 previously selected variables and manipulate CNC machine parameters and variables. When using Fagor Sercos drives, it is also possible to set the parameters of the drive. When requesting information (variable or parameter) of a drive that is not connected via Sercos or when having an old software version, the message "Variable does not exist" will be displayed. Changing the machine parameters of the CNC and the drive requires a password. NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) New instructions in the configuration language How to operate To access the Oscilloscope mode, select: Op Mode - Diagnosis - Adjustements - Scope Define the variables to be analyzed, the trigger conditions and the machine parameters of the CNC or the drive to be modified. Execute a part-program moving the axis or axes to be adjusted. Page 18 of 46 Once data capture has ended, or has been interrupted, it is possible to analyze the signals and modify the parameters that have been previously selected, in order to improve the machining conditions. Capture data, analyze it and modify the parameters again until achieving the best machining conditions. Suggestions Execute endless repetitive movements. After adjusting the axis separately, readjust the interpolating axes together. It is up to the user to judge what the best adjustment is, the oscilloscope function is an assistance tool. Operation To enter or modify a data on the screens, it must be selected and it must have the editing focus. To select another editable data or field, use the [ ] [ ]. It is a rotary selection, if the first element is selected on the screen, when pressing [ ] the focus goes to the last one, whereas if the last element is selected, when pressing [ ] the focus goes to the first one. Not all the data may be edited, only the ones that may be selected, those having the focus. There are two types of editable fields: Editable values: They may be assigned a value, sometimes numerical (numbers only) and sometimes alphanumerical (numbers and letters). Before validating the data, it is checked; if the data is incorrect, it is rejected and a warning message is issued. Values that may be selected: The possible values are fixed and one of them may be selected. Use the [ ] [ ] keys to see the possible values. On this type values that are icons, the [White/Green] key has the same effect as the [ ] key. Softkeys Accessing the oscilloscope mode enables the following softkeys: Scale / Offsets To change the amplitude of each signal, move them vertically or adjust the time base for all of them. Analysis To analyze, using 2 cursors, each signal of the last data capture. Parameters To assign new values to the machine parameters of the CNC and drive that have been defined in the "Configuration" screen. Configuration To define the variables to be analyzed, the trigger conditions and the machine parameters of the CNC or the drive to be modified. Actions It shows various softkeys to modify the data of each field (amplitude of the signals, vertical movement, time base adjustment, position of the cursors, etc.). NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) Oscilloscope function Page 19 of 46 8040 CNC Capture data and then analyze it. 8040 CNC Begin It captures data according to the conditions set on the "Configuration" screen to be analyzed later on. 30.1 Configuration To define the variables to be analyzed, the trigger conditions and the machine parameters of the CNC or the drive to be modified. It offers 2 screens, one to set the parameters and the other one to define the variables and trigger conditions. On the screen for defining variables and the trigger condition, it is possible to go from block of elements to another using the [page up] and [page down] keys. The parameters defining page shows the definition code on the left column, the parameter name on the center column and the maximum and minimum values on the right column. To add a parameter to the list, select the row for the parameter, enter the definition code indicated later on and press [Enter]. If it is valid, the rest of the fields are updated and if not, it issues a warning. To replace a parameter from the list, select the parameter to be replaced, enter the definition code of the new parameter and press [Enter]. If the previous content has been deleted and no code is entered, the line appears empty. The [Add a parameter to the list] softkey enters a new empty line above the currently selected line. The [Eliminate parameter] softkey eliminates the currently selected line and shifts all the ones below upwards. The "Parameter editing" screen shows the parameters in the same place where they were defined and the empty rows appear blank. When a parameter is changed on the "Parameter Editing" screen, the CNC machine parameter table and the drive's work parameters are updated. The [Save Parameters] softkey is also activated on the "Configuration - Parameters" screen. We suggest to access that screen and press the [Save Parameters] softkey to save the parameter tables that have been changed, those of the CNC into the CARDA and those of the drive in its FLASH. If only the CNC parameters have been changed, the drive tables remain unchanged and vice versa. Once the values saved are the same as the ones edited last, the softkey disappears until a new modification is made. NEW FEATURES Variable definition (SOFT T: 8.XX) Oscilloscope function The oscilloscope has 4 graphics channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4). The following must be defined in each channel: · The code or name of the variable to be shown. See attached tables. · The color used to show them. · Whether it will be visible or not. When defining a variable that cannot be captured, an error message will be issued. If no variable is to be captured in a channel, just leave Page 20 of 46 The "hidden" channels are not shown graphically (they are not shown on the screen after the data capture). It is useful when using this channel to set the trigger condition. CNC variables that may be assigned to a channel Variable ANAI(1-8) ANAO(1-8) FREAL FREAL(X-C) FTEO(X-C) FLWE(X-C) ASIN(X-C) BSIN(X-C) DRPO(X-C) SREAL FTEOS FLWES ASINS BSINS DRPOS SSREAL SFTEOS SFLWES SASINS SBSINS SDRPOS Characteristics Voltage of input 1-8 Voltage to apply to output 1-8 CNC real feedrate Actual (real) X-C axis feedrate Theoretical X-C axis feedrate X-C axis following error "A" signal of the CNC sinusoidal feedback for the X-C axis "B" signal of the CNC sinusoidal feedback for the X-C axis Position indicated by the Sercos drive of the X-C axis Real (actual) spindle turning speed.

Indicates the beginning of the data capture. If not selected, the data capture begins as soon as the operator gives the go ahead. The Flank, Level and Position data are ignored. Oscilloscope function Page 21 of 46 8040 CNC the name field blank. If all 4 channels are deactivated (without associated variable) no capture is possible. 8040 CNC If selected, specify the trigger condition using the Flank, Level and Position data. Flank It is taken into account when Trigger has been selected. It may be an up flank or a down flank. With an up flank, the data capture begins when in a sample the data value is lower than the level and in the next sample the value is greater than or equal to the level. With a down flank, the data capture begins when in a sample the data value is greater than the level and in the next sample the value is lower than or equal to the level. Level It is taken into account when Trigger has been selected. It sets the value that the variable must take to begin the data capture. Position (%) It is taken into account when Trigger has been selected. It is defined as a percentage, between 0% and 100%. It indicates the number of samples that are taken before the Trigger. For example, a 10% position means that 10% of the total number of samples programmed will be taken before the trigger and the remaining 90% after the trigger. The trigger condition starts evaluating after having the indicated % of samples. If the position is defined at 50% and the trigger condition occurs when a 10% of the samples have been taken, it will be ignored until the 50% of the samples have been collected. Number of samples It indicates the number of sample to be captured. It is common to all the channels. Value between 1 and 1024. The sample will be taken at the same time in all the channels so they are synchronized. Sample T It indicates the sampe period or the time period between data captures. It is given in milliseconds, integers between 1 and 1000 (between 1ms and 1s). When analyzing CNC variables, the sample period must be a multiple of the loop time. If it is not, a message is displayed indicating that it has been automatically rounded off. The sample time may be shorter than the CNC loop time only when analyzing 1 or 2 variables of the same drive. When the requested number of variables forces a reconfiguration of the CNC's Sercos ring, a warning message is issued requesting its confirmation. Mode NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) It indicates the type of data capture: Single or Continuous. With Single capture, the process ends when the specified number of samples has been taken or when interrupted by the user. The continuous data capture begins like a single capture, but when the process ends, the data is shown on the screen and it automatically resumes the data capture. It goes on like that indefinitely until the user stops it. Oscilloscope function Superimposed channels Page 22 of 46 If this option is not selected, all the signals appear separated. The screen is divided into as many horizontal strips as active and visible channels have been defined. The signals are shown with their own graphic zero and ordered from top to bottom in the defined order (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4). During the analysis of the signals, it is possible to change modes by pressing the [M] key. CNC machine parameters that may be modified When defining the CNC machine parameters, that could be changed to adjust the machine, use the following nomenclature: Machine parameters of an axis: Indicate the axis and the parameter number separated by a dot. Examples: [X.P18], [Z.P23] Number P14 P18 P19 P23 P24 P25 P27 P28 P29 P30 P37 P38 P59 P60 P61 P62 P67 Parameter BACKLASH ACCTIME INPOSW PROGAIN DERGAIN FFGAIN MINANOUT SERVOFF BAKANOUT BAKTIME MAXVOLT G00FEED ACCTIME2 PROGAIN2 DERGAIN2 FFGAIN2 JERKLIM Update Immediate Beginning of the next block Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Immediate Beginning of the next block Beginning of the next block Immediate Immediate Immediate Beginning of the next block Spindle machine parameters: Indicate the spindle (S, S1, S2) and the parameter number separated by a dot.

Examples: [X.CP1.0], [Y.CP20.2], [Z.SP1.1] Save and load the configurations. The system lets you save the current configuration into a program type file in ASCII format. To do that, set general machine parameter STPFILE with the number (other than 0) to be assigned to the configuration file. The configuration file may be treated like any other program, sent out via DNC or even edited. When saving or loading a configuration, the CNC first checks if the file already exists in User RAM and if not, it will look for it in the Memkey Card. Several configurations may be saved in the configuration file. Each configuration must be assigned a name of up to 40 characters. The following softkeys are related to this feature. Save To save the current configuration, press the [Save] softkey and enter the name to save it with up to 40 characters. If there is a previously saved configuration with the same name, it will ask whether it must be replaced or not. To load a previously saved configuration, press the [Load] softkey and select it from the list on the screen. If the configuration makes not sense (for example, because the CNC does not have an axis that that configuration refers to), the CNC will warn the user and it will only load the portion of the configuration read until that error came up. To delete one of the saved configurations, press the [Delete] softkey, select it from the list on the screen and press [Enter]. Pressing the [Reset] softkey deletes or resets the current configuration. There are no variables or parameters selected and the rest of conditions (colors, trigger, etc.) assume the values assigned by default. Load Delete Reset 30.2 Scale / Offsets To change the amplitude of each signal, move them vertically or adjust the time base for all of them. NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) The right side of the screen shows: · · The vertical scale or amplitude by square for each signal (next to the name of the variable) The horizontal scale or time base (t/div) for all the signals. Oscilloscope function To change the amplitude, use the [ ] [ ] keys to place the focus in the "Scale" field of the desired variable. Then use the [ ] [ ] keys or [page up] [page down] to select one of the permitted values or press [X] for auto-scaling. To move the signal vertically, use the [ ] [ ] keys to place the focus in the "Offset" field of the desired variable. Then use the [ ] [ ] Page 24 of 46 [U] [D] [0] [X] To move it up as high as possible To move it down as low as possible To center it for the CNC to scale it automatically. When auto-scaling a channel, the system sets the right vertical scale and offset so the signal shows as big as possible within its graphic strip. To modify the time base of all the signals, use the [ ] [ ] keys to place the focus in the "t/div" field. Then use the [ ] [ ] keys or [page up] [page down] to select one of the permitted values or press [X] for auto-scaling. To select another portion of the sample use the [ ] [ ] keys to place the focus in the "Win" field. Then use the [ ] [ ] keys or [page up] [page down] to move the signal or press one of these keys: [F] [T] [S] [X] To show the beginning of the trace (First) To show the trigger zone To show the final portion of the trace (Second) for the CNC to scale it automatically. 30.3 Analysis To analyze, using 2 cursors, each signal of the last data capture. The right side of the screen shows: · · Next to each variable, the value (V1 and V2) of the signal in the position of each cursor and the difference between them (v). The position, in milliseconds, of each cursor (C1 and C2) and the time difference between them (t) To select the first or second cursor, use the teclas [ ] [ ] keys to place the focus in the "C1" or "C2" fields respectively. Then use the [ ] [ ] keys or [page up] [page down] to move the signal or press one of these keys: [F] [T] [S] [X] To show the beginning of the trace (First) To show the trigger zone To show the final portion of the trace (Second) for the CNC to scale it automatically.

NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) Holding the [ ][ ] keys pressed accelerates the movement. Oscilloscope function 30.4 Parameters To assign new values to the machine parameters of the CNC and drive that have been defined in the "Configuration-Parameters" screen. Page 25 of 46 8040 CNC keys or [page up] [page down] to move the signal or press one of these keys: 8040 CNC The machine parameters of the axis or the spindle are updated according to the criteria defined in the previous tables, the rest of the parameters are updated according to the general criteria: // / It is necessary to press the keystroke sequence: "Shift Reset" or turn the CNC off and back on. Just press Reset. The rest of the parameters (those unmarked) will be updated automatically, only by changing them. If the password to the machine parameters has been defined (SETUPPSW), it will be requested when modifying a parameter for the first time. If entered correctly, it is stored in memory and it is not requested again unless the CNC is turned off. If the password is wrong, the parameter cannot be modified and it will be requested again the next time. When a parameter is changed, the CNC machine parameter table and the drive's work parameters are updated. The [Save Parameters] softkey is also activated on the "Configuration Parameters" screen. We suggest to access that screen and press the [Save Parameters] softkey to save the parameter tables that have been changed, those of the CNC into the CARDA and those of the drive in its FLASH. If only the CNC parameters have been changed, the drive tables remain unchanged and vice versa. Once the values saved are the same as the ones edited last, the softkey disappears until a new modification is made. 30.5 Actions It is available on the following screens: "Parameter Editing", "Analysis" and "Scales /Offsets". It is very useful when not having an alpha-numeric keyboard (TC or TCO operator panels) because it shows several softkeys to change the data of each field (amplitude of the signals, vertical movement, time base, position of the cursors, etc.) 30.6 Begin It is available on the following screens: "Parameter Editing", "Analysis" and "Scales /Offsets". It captures data according to the conditions set on the "Configuration" screen and enables the following softkeys: [Stop] interrupts the capture and shows the data collected until then. [Continuous Stop] available when the capture is continuous. It interrupts the capture and shows the last full trace. Once data capture has ended, or has been interrupted, it is possible to analyze the signals and modify the parameters that have been previously selected, in order to improve the machining conditions. Capture data, analyze it and modify the parameters again until achieving the best machining conditions.
