Servo Parameter Changes
The servo gain, such as the feed-forward gain, can be changed
from a G language program. Therefore, if position loop
feed-forward gain is enabled during circular interpolation, the
level of accuracy for circular interpolation can be improved.
•
Comprehensive Functions in Origin Search ModeThe
The search pattern can be selected to reduce the origin search
time. It is possible to select either deceleration stop or error
counter-based stop when a limit input is received during origin
search. Origin searches are also possible in absolute encoder
systems.
•
Interrupt Feeding
This function uses general-purpose inputs (interrupt signals) to
move the specified axis by the specified distance for positioning.
It is possible to perform positioning operations when no interrupt
signals are received during interrupt feeding.
•
Brake Signal Outputs
To make motor operation even easier, brake signal outputs (also
used as a general-purpose output) can be used during servo
lock or unlock.
•
Stopover
A stopover outputs M code or D (interrupt) code without stopping
operation after feeding the axis by the specified distance during
operation. The cycle time can be reduced by controlling
peripheral devices before the operation is completed.
•
Error Logging
The error log can store up to 20 error records, such as positioning
errors or hardware errors in the MC Unit or operation fatal errors
in the CPU Unit, together with the date and time of each error.
The error log can be read using the CX-Motion.
Windows-based MC Support Software: CX-Motion
•
Multiple MC Unit Management in Project Units
Multiple MC Units can be registered as one project. This allows
simultaneous management of multiple MC Units.
•
Tree Display for Edit or Monitor Screens
Data will be displayed in tree format on the left side of the window
so that the user can easily understand the location of the data
currently being set, edited, or monitored.
•
Servo Information Trace Function
Speed reference values, the present speed, and the error
counter can be traced with specified starting conditions and a
specified sampling period using the Windows-based CX-Motion.
Up to 500 items can be traced, making it easy to adjust the servo
system.
•
Automatic Loading Function
When it is necessary to use more programs or position data than
can be stored in the MC Unit, programs or position data stored in
an external memory device at the computer where CX-Motion is
installed can be automatically downloaded to the MC Unit’s
internal memory. This function allows the system to cope with an
application consisting of more than 100 programs.
•
Single-port Multiaccess Function
A Windows-based Support Software package called CX-Motion
can be used on the same computer and through the same port as
the CX-Programmer, enabling multiple programming environ-
ments on a single computer.
•
User-defined Mnemonics
The user can enter G codes or mnemonics corresponding to
each G code when writing a program. The user can register or
change these mnemonics as required, making it easy to write or
analyze MC programs.
•
File Conversion
The existing system parameters, position data, and programs
created using previous versions of the MC Support Software can
be converted for use with the CX-Motion.
Data Creation Using Teaching Box
In addition to entering numbers in the Position Data Edit Window of
the MC Support Software (CX-Motion), it is possible to create posi-
tion data by using the Teaching Box to teach positions while actually
moving the machinery.
Operate with MPG
Positioning and simple sync operations can be performed using an
MPG (manual pulse generator).
