Applications

This section contains programming examples of how various applications can be implemented.

The PLC can specify the velocity to achieve different erosion modes together with specific geometries for various machining operations. The table below gives an overview of the different velocities specified for the erosion modes described in this section.

	Down channel	Orbit channel	Escape channel	Escape start condition
Half spherical orbiting	V_prog	V_prog, start / stop	V_ext	V_ext <0
Star orbiting	V_ext	V_prog, start / stop	V_ext	V_ext <0 and down (& orbit channel) stopped
Asynchronous orbiting	V_ext	V_prog	V_ext	V_ext <0 and down (& orbit channel) stopped
Alternating orbiting	V_ext	V_ext	V_ext	V_ext <0 and down (& orbit channel) stopped

Controlling erosion modes by specifying the velocities:

V_prog Programmed velocity

V_ext Velocity via external velocity interface

V_Gen Specified generator velocity
