• Machine Lock function prohibits the output of movement commands to the
axes so that operation sequences other than axis operations can be
debugged.
• Though the output of movement commands to the axes is prohibited, cal-
culations for the movement commands are executed and command posi-
tion will be updated.
• Machine Lock can be used not only for debugging of the motion pro-
grams, but also for debugging of the ladder program in the CPU Unit.
• Signals to the output modules are output normally.
• Machine Lock can be executed by turning ON/OFF the bit [Machine Lock]
from the ladder program or the Support Tool.
• When the Machine Lock status is cleared, the command position will be
the one before the Machine Lock state.
The bit [Axis Machine lock] will be checked on the timing when the bit [Axis
Operating] is turned OFF, and the Machine Lock status will be changed
accordingly.
