VII - CYCLE OPTIMIZATION

VII - 1.Introduction

The cycle is optimized using the cycle parameters. The changes are only carried out in the cycle
running. The changes are saved and therefore retained when you change program. 
There are 5 types of cycle parameters:

Note: 

The procedure for changing these parameters is the same whatever mode is selected, apart

from one particularity in manual mode: see “Teaching the points in manual”, page 13.

Type of cycle parameter

Function

Use

Mode advised 

for 

optimization

Points

POINTS

For changing the destination of a numeric 
axis, either by entering a position from the 
keyboard, or by teaching it.

Speeds

VEL

For changing the movement speed of the 
numeric axes.

Time delays

TIMES

For changing the wait time between 2 actions 
or an output’s activation time.

Tolerances

TOLER

For changing the tolerance from which it is 
possible to order the following action even if 
the current movement hasn’t finished.
Note:
The tolerance is only taken into account in 
automatic mode when speed Kv >= 80%. 

Stacking and counters

CNT

For changing the gaps between releases or the 
value of the counters CNT.

For changing the stacking structure or the 
value of the stacking counters CNT-Stk.
