Introduction
This planning instruction describes the PLC software ”Programming and Display functions”
for WF 725 and/or WF 726 in SINUMERIK 3, GA4.
For many manufacturers of tool machines, it is desirable to be able to position auxiliary axes
in addiition to the four axes which can be traversed over the NC control of the medium
power class SINUMERIK 3, GA4.
With this, a tool magazine, a tool supplier or a loading portal could be realised with the tool
machine.
With the help of the positioning modules WF 725 and/or WF 726, up to 21 additional
auxiliary axes can be positioned without having to evade to an NC control of the higher class.
The PLC software described here fulfills the following functions:
–
Setting of a single traversing block to the WF 725 or WF 726
Traversing path, traversing feed rate and path conditions are set over R-parameters
freely selectable in an NC part program. When the NC part program is executed, the
data is transmitted to the WF 725 or WF 726, and the auxiliary axes are immediately
traversed.
–
Positioning of a tool magazine
Up to 120 magazine place positions can be selected over a parameter. The rotational
direction - ”right”, ”left” or ”shortest distance” can also be selected.
–
Input/Output of Machine data and Operating Data
With display masks, the data mentioned above can be entered and changed. This
simplifies the start-up of the WF 725 or ”F 746.
–
Display on the NC operator panel
The following data is shown for the selected axis
•
