Settings and functions not dependent on operating mode
Special functions can be activated by specific settings in the user program, in addi-
tion to the mode (e.g., inprocess measurement).
Software limit switches
The operating range (specified by software limit switches) is automatically moni-
tored after synchronization is recorded.
Process interrupts
Process interrupts are triggered by such events as:
S Position reached
S Length measurement completed
S On-the-fly block change
S Inprocess measurement
Process interrupts are selected by way of machine data.
Block sequence control
Automatic processing of a traversing program, including subprograms created dur-
ing the parameterization process. A number of traversing programs are available
for execution on the module.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting
Startup and ongoing operation of the module are monitored by fault and diagnostic
interrupts. Faults or errors are reported to the system and displayed by the LEDs
on the module.
Data storage on the FM 353
Parameterization data (machine data, tool compensation data, traversing programs
and increment sizes) is retained in storage on the FM 353.
