5.4
Position Data, Home Position and
Current Position
•
The position data includes the following:
HP: Home position, P(I): Set position (I), P(II): Set
position (II) and CP: Current position
The unit and the multiplication of each item are
described in Section 5.2.
•
When the operation of returning to the machine
home position is completed, the home position HP
(BFMs #14 and #13) value is automatically written
to thecurrent position CP (BFMs #27 and #26).
The figure below shows the CP value when the
homeposition HP is -100.
•
Theset positions P(I) and P(II) can betreated as
absolutepositions (distancefrom thecurrent position
CP = 0) or relative positions (travel from the current
stop position) as described later.
< Error in command between the machine system
of units and the combined system of units>
When thepulserateof theBFM #0 (#2, #1) is supposed
thepulserateas A, thefeedrateas B and therelative
travel distanceas C, thevalue“C
×
(A/B)” indicates the
pulse quantity which should be generated by the PGU.
Even if the value “(A/B)” is not an integer, error is not
generated in the command if the value “C
×
(A/B)” is an
integer.
However, if the value “C
×
(A/B)” is not an integer,
accumulated error is generated in the current position
when relative movement is repeated.
When the
absolute is used for operation, an error less than 1 pulse
may be generated by counting fractions over 1/2 as one
and disregarding the rest, but accumulated error is not
generated.
When the motor system of units is used, such an
accumulated error is not generated.
