40i P - Installation/Operation - DRO installation - (24/32)
Axes option:
These parameters must be set for each axis.
1- Combine axes: It is possible to add/subtract any axis to/
from another axis. The factory setting is NO.
Rotary axes cannot be combined.
2- Display resolution: It is the resolution of the DRO. It makes
it possible to display the position with a coarser resolution than
that of the feedback device, although the actual internal
calculation is done with the finest resolution.
Factory setting: 0.0000. It means that the display resolution is
the encoder resolution.
3- Reverse the feedback reading (pulse counting)
direction: Yes or NO. Factory setting: NO.
4- Display feedrate: Axis feed rate, both in mill and lathe modes. When activating this option ("YES"), the
screens shows a window indicating the feed rate of each axis.
The units will be m/min or inches/min depending on whether MM or INCH is active.
5- Hide axis. Hides the axis and does not display its value.
The names of the axes may also be changed instead of calling them X, Y or Z.
Alarms option:
Turn on/off the various types of alarms.
These alarms must be set for each axis. The following screen
is displayed:
1- 1 Vpp alarm: The DRO checks the amplitude and phase
shift of 1 Vpp signals. An alarm is displayed when any of the
signals gets out of the set limits.
2- Feedback alarm: Feedback alarm provided by TTL angular
encoders. It may be active low (TTL O) or active high (TTL 1).
3- Feed rate overrun alarm: When set to YES, an alarm is
issued over 200 kHz.
4- Travel limits: Setting it to YES activates two more fields (boxes) for entering the travel limits. A warning
appears on the screen when overrunning these limits.
