Channel parameters

Overview

This section describes the channel-specific parameters for configuring turning functions and rotary spindles.

The spindle configuration defined in the channel parameter list is the default assignment which is provided after the controller is started up.

P-CHAN-00761	Tapping with actual positions of the spindle
Description	An additional function for tapping can be enabled to take into account the actual spindle speed. The linear axes are then coupled to the actual spindle position. This also permits tapping when the spindle speed drops due to the load.
Parameter	tapping.use_actual_position
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0: The spindle is coupled to the command positions of the linear axes. 1: The linear axes are coupled to the actual spindle positions.
Dimension	---
Default value	0
Remarks	Parameter available as of V3.1.3080.04

P-CHAN-00762	Number of filter cycles to filter actual spindle positions
Description	The actual spindle positions may be noisy under certain circumstances. This parameter activates a filter to smooth the actual positions, The parameter specifies the number of filter smoothing cycles. The value 0 deactivates the filter.
Parameter	tapping.n_cycles
Data type	UNS16
Data range	0 <= n_cycles <= 20
Dimension	---
Default value	0
Remarks	P-CHAN-00762 only acts when tapping with actual spindle positions is active (P-CHAN-00761). Parameter available as of V3.1.3080.04

P-CHAN-00834	Thread cutting with actual spindle speed
Description	An additional function for thread cutting can be enabled to include the actual spindle speed. Here, the linear axes are coupled to the actual spindle position. This means that threads can also be tapped when the spindle speed drops due to the load.
Parameter	thread_cutting.use_actual_speed
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0: The linear axes are coupled to the command spindle positions 1: The linear axes are coupled to the actual spindle positions.
Dimension	---
Default value	0
Remarks	Available as of V3.1.3080.17

P-CHAN-00835	Number of filter cycles to filter actual spindle speed
Description	The actual spindle speed may be noisy under certain circumstances. To smooth the actual speed, this parameter can activate a filter. The parameter specifies the number of filter cycles that are used for smoothing.. The value 0 deactivates the filter.
Parameter	thread_cutting.n_cycles
Data type	UNS16
Data range	0 <= n_cycles <= 25
Dimension	---
Default value	0
Remarks	P-CHAN-00835 only acts when thread cutting is active at the actual spindle speed. (Channel parameters). Available as of V3.1.3080.17

P-CHAN-00836	Influence of velocity override with thread cutting G33
Description	This parameter defines the handling of changes to override with thread cutting blocks G33.
Parameter	thread_cutting.ignore_override
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0: Velocity override is effective with thread cutting blocks G33. 1: Velocity override is not evaluated with thread cutting blocks G33.
Dimension	----
Default value	0
Remarks	Available as of Build V3.1.3081.11 or V3.1.3118.0

P-CHAN-00837	Thread cutting of a thread chain
Description	By default, consecutive thread cutting blocks are processes individually. If this parameter is set, consecutive thread cutting blocks are identified as a thread chain. Contouring between thread cutting blocks then takes place without any motion stops.
Parameter	thread_cutting.thread_chain
Data type	BOOLEAN
Data range	0: Consecutive thread cutting blocks G33 are processed individually 1: Consecutive thread cutting blocks G33 are identified as a thread chain
Dimension	----
Default value	0
Remarks	Available as of Build V3.1.3081.11 or V3.1.3118.0
