HLI parameters

Lift function is active

Description

This data item indicates whether a lift function is active or not. An active lift function is associated with execution of a lift movement.

Signal flow

CNC->PLC

ST path

gpAx[axis_idx]^.ipo_state.lift_active

Data type

BOOL

Value range

TRUE = Lift function is active
FALSE = Lift function is not active

Access

PLC is reading

Lift movement is suppressed

Description

This data item indicates whether a lift movement is suppressed. This is always the case when the programmed minimum path distance P-CHAN-00244 is not reached.

Signal flow

CNC->PLC

ST path

gpAx[axis_idx]^.ipo_state.lift_suppressed

Data type

BOOL

Value range

TRUE = Lift movement is suppressed
FALSE = Lift movement is not suppressed.

Access

PLC is reading

Special feature

The following special case of the status display occurs when you use “Advanced Lifting”:

If the lift movement is suppressed due to insufficient travel distance and a target position of the Z axis is programmed at the same time, the lift function is active in order to be able to approach the target position of the Z-axis.
In this case, the status of the lift function is simultaneously displayed as “active” and “suppressed”.
