Interface Setup Parameters
MC_5100:
Interface Timeout
When an output port configured for a
finish pulse is activated, the CNC is put
on hold until an external finish pulse is
received. While on hold, the CNC will
not run program blocks (in Programmed
Mode) and will not respond to keypad
inputs (in Manual Mode).
The finish pulse is a signal from a
machine device. It informs the CNC
that the requested operation is
completed.
If no finish pulse is received by the end
of the timeout period, the CNC will
display an
Error
message.
NOTE:
Press
E-STOP
and
SERVO
RESET
to regain control of a CNC
holding for a finish pulse.
Range: (0–600,000 milliseconds)
A zero (0) entry causes an
indefinite hold.
10,000 (milliseconds) [Default]
(10 sec)
MC_5101:
Issue SpStop on
SvoFlt or Estop
Issuing a spindle stop allows you to
stop the spindle when there is a servo
fault or emergency stop.
Yes
(on) [Default]
No (off)
MC_5102:
Display internal
interface message
Displaying the internal interface
messages allows you to override the
internal interface messages (that is,
feedhold, external hold, etc.) so that the
IPI can generate a different message.
Yes
(on) [Default]
No (off)
MC_5103:
Gauge 1 Active
Gauges allow you to monitor analog
inputs that vary from zero to 5 VDC (for
example, DC outputs for drive
controllers, adjustment potentiometers,
etc.).
No
(deactivate) [Default]
Yes (activate )
MC_5104:
Gauge 1 Name
Assign a name (e.g., spindle load) to
the gauge in the entry field.
Blank [Default]
MC_5105:
Gauge 1 Type
Assign a value of 0 to the gauge in the
entry field. This allows monitoring of
the spindle load on the particular
gauge. Other types of monitoring will
be provided in the future.
Gauges are displayed in the bottom of
the CNC’s Manual, Auto, S.Step, and
MST screens.
Range (0–5)
0
[Default]
