29. Calibrate PLC
The axis can be set as a PLC axis at the top of the screen, when an axis is selected in the Axis section
on the right.
Port:
This is the port that will be used for
communication between the PC and the
PLC.
Address:
This is the address of the PLC.
Actual Position:
This is the position of the axis (in mm).
Calibration factor:
This is a factor to scale the encoder or linear slide pulses.
Tolerance:
The tolerance is used to compare if two values are close enough to be the same (in mm).
Fast Speed:
The speed that the beam goes down, until it is close enough to use the slow speed (in % max speed).
Slow Speed:
The Slow Speed is the speed of the beam when it is close enough to the material (in mm/s).
Home Position:
The Home Position indicates if the home position of the beam is a high value or low value.

Cycles through the pages of settings for the PLC.
Top/Bottom Position:
This is the position above/below which it considers the Pressbrake
to be open (in mm).
Slow Distance:
The distance from the material that will use the Slow Speed rather
than the Fast Speed (in mm).
Bend Distance:
The distance from the material that will use the Bend Speed rather
than the Slow or Fast Speed (in mm).
Bend Speed:
The Bend Speed is the speed of the beam when it is close enough to the material (in mm/s).
