Circular Interpolation [Radius Specification] - Mitsubishi FX3U-20SSC-H User Manual

3U
2. Operation information
Set a circular interpolation operation ("center, CW direction" or "center, CCW direction") and an absolute/
relative address in the operation information.
3. Speed information
The actual operation speed (vector speed) is "X-axis operation speed 1 x X-axis override setting."
The operation speed 1 for the X-axis can be changed using the operation speed change function except
under the following conditions.
• During deceleration operation
• When the speed change disable during operation signal is ON.
4. Position (address) information
The absolute/relative address can be specified in the operation information.
With the specified absolute address: Specifies a target address (position) using address 0 as the base.
With the specified relative address:
5. Circle information (center coordinate)
Set the center coordinate (i, j) by a relative address from the start point.

9.11.2 Circular interpolation [radius specification]

The work piece moves in a circular arc with a specified radius from the start point to the target address.

START point
1) Set the table information, X-axis speed, X/Y axis position (address) and radius in the XY table information.
2) When turning the X-axis START command ON at the table operation start number with the specified
circular interpolation (radius, CW direction) / (radius, CCW direction), the work piece moves to the target
position at the specified speed, following the circle's center coordinate calculated from the start point,
target position and radius.
3) The work piece stops at the XY coodinate in the target address 1, and the operation ends, turning the
positioning completion signal ON.
Note
• The radius is specified as r. When r is a positive value, the small circle (a) path is selected and when it is
negative, the big circle (b) path is selected.
• Pulse rate and feed rate
During the circular interpolation operation, the radius value is kept constant and pulses are allocated to the
X and Y axes. If the ratio of the pulse rate to the feed rate differs between the X-axis and Y-axis, the circle
becomes deformed. Set the interpolation gear ratio selection function in the X- axis, Y-axis when the ratio
differs between the X-axis and the Y-axis if the version is Ver.1.20 or later.
Specifies a travel amount from the current address.
