Machine data
There are no mode groupspecific machine data.
Channel gaps
The channels to which a mode group is assigned with MD10010 are regarded as activated.
Instead of a mode group number, the number "0" can be assigned to channels. The result is as follows:
• The nonactivated channel does not take up memory space in the control.
• Series machines with similar designs can be kept uniform during configuration. Only the channels that can
actually be used by the machine tool are activated (channels with mode group number greater than 0).
Special case:
Channel 1 must always be available!
⇒ If:
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP [0] = 0
is specified, the control automatically sets
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP [0] = 1 (mode group 1).
Example configurations:
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[0] = 1
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[1] = 2
...
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[3] = 0 ; gap
...
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[8] = 1
MD10010 $MN_ASSIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[9] = 2
9.2.1
Mode group Stop
Function
The following NC/PLC interface signals are used to stop the traversing motions of the axes or of the axes and
spindles in all mode group channels and to interrupt part program execution:
DB11 DBX0.5 (mode group Stop)
DB11 DBX0.6 (mode group Stop axes plus spindles)
