STROBE
[Function]
This signal is a trigger signal for moving an axis component in manual random feed mode. The axis
component starts moving at the rising edge of this signal.
[Operation]
The STROBE (CXS8) should be turned ON after all signal values necessary for manual random
feed are set appropriately.
(1) The following signals must be appropriately set before turning ON the strobe signal:
(a) Manual random feed mode
(b) Manual random feed nth axis number (CXn1~CXn16) and manual random feed nth axis
valid (CXnS)
(c) Manual random feed nth axis movement data (file registers R914~R919)
(d) Smoothing OFF (CXS1)
(e) Axis independent (CXS2)
(f) EX.F/MODAL.F (CXS3)
(g) G0/G1 (CXS4)
(h) MC/WK (CXS5)
(i) ABS/INC (CXS6)
(2) The following signals can be changed even after the strobe signal is turned ON:
(a) Manual feed speed
(b) Rapid traverse override for a rapid traverse speed when the G0/G1 signal (CXS4) is OFF.
(c) Stop (*CXS7)
(Note 1) The STROBE signal can be accepted even when the "stop" signal (*CXS7) is OFF
(0).
The following shows a timing chart of an example of operation.
Manual random feed mode, etc.

(Note 2) The strobe signal (CXS8) must be ON for at least 100ms.
