5-5-1 ID Data Input Setting
With the AFC3000 System, part ID data (ID No.) can be input into the MASTER spindle using the
RS232C-2 interface of Expansion Unit 2. The expansion RS232C is set as the factory setting.
(Simultaneous input via fieldbus and the RS232C of the Expansion Unit 2 cannot be performed.)
When the part ID data is input into the RS232 port before the fastening operation, the input data is
added to the fastening results, etc., and output to the AFC3000 User Console software, the
standard RS232C (on the controller front) and fieldbus message output.
･
Unless new part ID data is input, the previously input data contents are output
after the end of the fastening operation. The data should therefore be cleared
using the “Clear ID Data” input if new data is not being input with each cycle.
･
The ID data (equipment No.) that is input is acquired at the start of the fastening
operation and therefore the data transfer should be completed before the start
of the fastening operation.
If the PLC I/O input signal
“ID DATA CLEAR” signal is set “ON,” the ID data buffer will be cleared.
NOTE :
Sending a NULL character “00”hex as the first byte will ignore the complete input
message data. (previous sent data will be used unless it had been cleared with the “ID DATA
CLEAR” signal) Additionally, if “00”hex data is sent as part of the message data, and
characters following it will be ignored.
