4.13 Linear path control
The standard software of the Controllers GEL 8310 / 8610 contains a linear
path control for all axes.
With the ‘Circular interpolation’ option being present (refer to appendix O), a
circular path control can be activated additionally for the first two axes.
The linear path control can be activated for the following units/axes:
•
unit 1: axes 1 to 3 (GEL 8610: 6)
•
unit 2: axes 2 and 3
For this, the variant 1 (»linear«) must be selected for storage location 2/5 of the
corresponding unit.
The rotary table positioning must not be activated when using the path
control (storage location 3/8 = 0 for all axes). Otherwise, a
Param.
error
is caused.
There are two methods of presetting the speed rate for the combined axes:
•
separately for each sentence
In this case, the ‘speed rate’ nominal value type must be part of the
sentence, determined at storage location 2/3.
The input format or the measuring unit for the speed rate is fixed by the first
axis of the unit (storage locations 3/45 and 3/46; refer to section 4.2).
•
identically for all sentences
In this case, the ‘speed rate’ nominal value type is not part of the sentence.
The value is preset via the axis parameter 3/34 of that axis that has to travel
the longer distance.
The path speed consists of the speed components of the combined axes. The
axis that has to travel the longer distance is always responsible for presetting
the speed value. The speed rate(s) of the other axis (axes) is (are) adapted
accordingly, depending on the path angle. The following diagram shows an
example for two axes (left: axis 1 = X travels the longer distance s
x
; right:
axis 2 = Y travels the longer distance s
y
):
