Machine
Parameters
nMP1146.x is new:
When the control is switched off, the actual position of the axes is saved
with an absolute encoder. During switch-on it is compared with the position
values read by the encoder. If the positions differ by more than the
difference defined in MP1146.x, a pop-up window appears with both
positions. The new position must be confirmed with a soft key. If it is not
confirmed, the error message Check the position encoder <axis> appears.
Input: 0.0000 to 300.0000 [mm] or [°]
Machine
Integration
nPreviously, an incorrect setting of the axis configuration over the kinematic
table could be corrected only by a change of the path in OEM.SYS and a restart
of the control. To make this possible now also for the machine operator, the
new column DOC was introduced in the assignment table. In this column, the
machine tool builder can enter a comment on the kinematics. By entering
the code number KINEMATIC, the machine tool builder calls a selection
window with the entries of the column DOC. After a new kinematic
configuration is selected, the control resets.
PLC Programming nExtended ranges of the PLC operands
• Markers M0 to M7999 (M4000 to M5999 are reserved for NC/PLC)
• Bytes B0 to B5119, W5118, D5116 (bytes B128 to B2047 reserved for
NC/PLC)
nEmpty strings can be defined in the definition files for the PLC compiler.
Miscellaneous nThe maximum input value for the LBREAK column of the tool table was
increased from 0.9999 to 3.2767.
