General characteristics of traversing in JOG
JOG mode
Axes/Spindles can be traversed manually in JOG mode. The active mode is transmitted to
the PLC via the IS "Active mode: JOG" (V3100 0000.2) and is visible in the display, see also
Chapter "Operating Modes, Program Operation (K1)".
Traversing possibilities
Traversing the axes can be done via the traverse keys of a connected machine control panel
(manual travel) or via connected handwheels (handwheel jogging).
All machine axes can be traversed simultaneously using keys (with an appropriate version of
a user-specific machine control panel) or via handwheel, depending on the number of
handwheels connected. If several machine axes are moved simultaneously, there is no
interpolatory relation.
Coordinate systems
The user has the option of traversing axes in the coordinate systems:
●
Machine coordinate system (MCS); machine axes manually traversable
●
Workpiece coordinate system (WCS); geometry axes manually traversable
Machine functions
Variants exist for manual traverse (the so-called machine functions):
●
Continuous traversal
●
Incremental traversing (INC, preset number of traversing increments). An increment is
evaluated with 0.001 mm if the basic system setting is metric.
The PLC user program transfers a user-specific machine function queued at the machine
control interface to the relevant PLC/NCK interface. Here the axis-specific NCK/PLC
interface should be used for a machine axis/spindle, and the channel-specific NCK/PLC
interface should be used for a geometry axis or valid for all axes/spindles and geometry
axes: Signals in the operating mode range (see also following section).
