Abort traversing movement
If you do not want to traverse the whole increment, the traverse movement can be aborted
with RESET or "Delete distance-to-go" interface signal (V380x 0002.2).
8.4
Handwheel traversal in JOG
Selection
JOG mode must be active. The user must also set the increment INC1, INC10, etc., which
applies to handwheel travel.
Up to 2 handwheels can be connected. This means that up to 2 axes can be traversed by
handwheel simultaneously and independently.
A handwheel is assigned to the geometry or machine axes (WCS or MCS) via interface
signals.
The axis to be moved as a result of rotating handwheel 1 to 2 can be set:
●
Via the PLC user interface with IS "Activate handwheel 1 to 2"
–
For machine axis (traverse in MCS): V380x 0004.0 to .2
–
For geometry axis (traverse in WCS): V3200 0000.0 to .2, V3200 0004.0 to .2,
V3200 0008.0 to .2.
The assignment is linked to the PLC interface through the PLC user program. Only here
can several machine axes be assigned to one handwheel simultaneously.
●
Using menu-assisted operation (HMI). Pressing the "Handwheel" softkey in the JOG-
mode basic menu displays the "Handwheel" window. This enables an axis (WCS or MCS)
to be assigned to each handwheel.
A separate user interface between the HMI and PLC is provided to allow activation of the
handwheel from the operator panel (HMI). This interface that the basic PLC program
supplies for handwheels 1 to 2 contains the following information:
●
The axis numbers assigned to the handwheel IS "Axis number handwheel n"
(VB1900 1003, ff)
●
Additional information on the machine or geometry axis
IS "Machine axis" (VB1900 1003.7, ff)
The "Activate handwheel" interface signal is either set to "0" (disable) or to "1" (enable) by
the PLC user program for the defined axis.
Settings as path or velocity
When the electronic handwheel is turned, the assigned axis is traversed either in the positive
or negative direction depending on the direction of rotation.
The general MD11346 HANDWH_TRUE_DISTANCE (handwheel path or velocity
specification) can be used to set the setting type of the handwheel motion and thus adapted
to the intended use.
