Coupling programs

Activation/deactivation and channel coupling/decoupling of the orbit or escape channel can be programmed using standard subroutines in the down channel (this corresponds to the left half in the figures). The subroutine examples used in the previous section are described below.

The programs assume an axis configuration that consists of 6 axes with X, Y, Z, A, B and C.

The variables used in the programs can be suitably assigned in advance in the down channel program for the current machining process. All the variables and macros used are initialised in the example program below.

Programing Example

Basic initialisation

;---- Channel IDs

"CH-Sinking" = "1"

"CH-Planetary" = "2"

"CH-Escape" = "3"

;---- Signal IDs

"S-EscapeReady" = "1711"

"S-OrbitReady" = "3711"

"S-PlanetarySectorReq" = "1000"

"S-PlanetarySectorOk" = "2000"

;---- Job IDs for PLCopen jobs

"MC-OrbCircle" = "233"

"MC-Reset" = "533"

"MC-Escape" = "633"

;---- Variables

V.P.PlanetaryMaxScale = 5

V.P.PlanetaryMaxEquid = 0

V.P.PlanetaryGeomId = 0

V.P.EscapeMode = 0 ; 0=Flat, 1= Alpha, 2=Point, 3=Bisec

V.P.AlphaAngle = 0

V.P.PointY = 0

V.P.PointZ = 0

V.P.BisecD1 = 0

V.P.BisecD2 = 0

Programing Example

Subroutine - Activate escape channel

%DS-ActivateEscape-ACS

;---- Activate the escape channel.

N5000 $IF V.P.EscapeMode == 0

N5010   #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON[ ESCAPE GEOMETRY=FLAT ]

N5040 $ELSEIF V.P.EscapeMode == 2

N5050   #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON[ ESCAPE GEOMETRY=POINT POINT_Y=V.P.PointY POINT_Z=V.P.PointZ ]

N5060 $ELSE (V.P.EscapeMode == 3)

N5070   #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON[ ESCAPE GEOMETRY=BISECTOR BISEC_D1 =V.P.BisecD1 BISEC_D2 = V.P.BisecD2]

N5080 $ENDIF

N5090 #TRACK CHAN ON[ DYN_CS="CH-Escape" SUPERIMPOSE]

;---- Start the program in the escape channel

N5110 #WAIT MC_Status [JobID="MC-Escape"]

N5120 V.P.McStatus = MCV_WAIT_STATUS ["MC-Escape"]

N5130 $IF V.P.McStatus != MC_DONE

N5140 #ERROR [ID455 MID0 RC2 PV1=V.P.McStatus \

          PV2=MC_DONE PM1=2 PM2=3]

N5150 $ENDIFN5160 M17

Programing Example

Subroutine - Activate orbit channel

%DS-ActivatePlanetary

N6000 #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON [EXTEND AX=Y FREEZE=X FREEZE=Y]

; Start the orbit channel with same CS orientation

N6001 #MC_MovePath SYN [ CH="CH-Planetary" JobID="MC-OrbCircle" \

  FileName="DsPlanetaryFile" \

  @PL3=V.G.SELECTED_CS.ROT.Z \

  @PL4=V.P.PlanetaryMaxScale @PL5=V.P.PlanetaryMaxEquid \

  @PL6=V.P.PlanetaryGeomId ]

N6002 #WAIT SYN [ID="S-PlanetaryReady" CH="CH-Planetary"]

N6003 #TRACK CHAN ON[ DYN_CS="CH-Planetary" WAIT FILTER=0]

N6004 #BACKWARD STORAGE CLEAR

N6005 M17

Notice

The orbit channel must always be deactivated before the escape channel.

Programing Example

Subroutine - Deactivate escape channel

%DS-DeactivateEscape.sub

N7005 #CHANNEL INTERFACE OFF [ESCAPE]

N7006 #TRACK CHAN OFF[DYN_CS SUPERIMPOSE]

N7007 #MC_GroupResetForced SYN [ CH="CH-Escape" ID="MC-Reset"]

  (Reset escape channel)

N7008 #WAIT MC_Status [ID="MC-Reset" DONE ABORTED ERROR]

N7009 M17

Programing Example

Subroutine - Deactivate orbit channel

%DS-DeactivatePlanetary.sub

N7000 #CHANNEL INTERFACE OFF [EXTEND]

N7001 #TRACK CHAN OFF [DYN_CS]

N7002 #MC_GroupResetForced SYN [ CH="CH-Planetary" ID="MC-Reset"]
