General characteristics when traversing in the JOG mode

The following is a description of the characteristics which generally apply to manual travel in
JOG mode (irrespective of the type selected).
JOG mode
Manual traversing of axes via the traversing keys of the machine control panel by the
operator, referred to as manual traversing in the following, is performed in JOG mode.
If JOG mode is active for the current mode group, this is reported to the PLC via the
corresponding interface signal:
DB11 DBX6.2 (BAG1: operating mode JOG)
DB11 DBX26.2 (BAG2: operating mode JOG)
...
DB11 DBX186.2 (BAG10: operating mode JOG)

Machine functions
There are several JOG variants, the so-called machine functions, within JOG mode:
● Continuous (JOG CONT)
● Incremental (JOG INC)
● Jogging with the handwheel
Handwheel travel
Handwheel travel is also active with the following functions:
● JOG REPOS machine function for traversing the geometry and machine axes
● AUTOMATIC mode for moving out a DRF offset
● With path override
● When moving the reversal point of an oscillation
The active machine function is selected via the PLC interface. A separate PLC interface
exists for both the machine axes (axis-specific) and the geometry axes (channel-specific).
Traversing several axes
Several axes can be traversed simultaneously in JOG mode. However, there is no
interpolatory relationship.
