Configuration of interpolator input disable (P-CHAN-00267)

P-CHAN-00267

Configuring interpolator input disable

Description

When the control unit “Interpolator input disable” [HLI// Control commands of a channel]) is used, the interpolator can be prevented from reading further NC blocks. By default this control unit is effective independently from the current block type read in. This means that when this control unit is activated, no further blocks are read and path motion stops.

The 'hli_input_disable_condition' parameter sets a condition for the action of the control unit. For example, it suppresses the reading of the next non-rapid traverse block so that the motion is stopped at the start of the next G01 motion.

Parameter

hli_input_disable_condition

Data type

STRING

Data range

DEFAULT: Reading is stopped immediately when the read disable is set (default).

NEXT_NON_RAPID_BLOCK: Reading the first non-rapid traverse block is prevented after
the control unit is activated.

EXT_RAPID_BLOCK: Reading the first rapid traverse block is prevented after the control
unit is activated.

Dimension

----

Default value

DEFAULT

Remarks

The process stops immediately before the motion is executed. Technology functions as well as spindle M functions which may be programmed in the same NC row are output to the PLC.

If the control unit is deactivated while the interpolator is decelerating because of an active read disable, the motion is continued without stopping.

Parameterisation example:
Reading the next rapid traverse block is prevented when the read disable is activated. This rapid traverse block is only executed when the read disable is deactivated again.
