Jobs: Signal description
Signal description:
● Job:
The interface contains a job. Job processing has not yet been completed with an end
acknowledgment. This signal is reset after transmission of the end acknowledgment to the
tool management.
● Multitool: Data in the multitool area
The interface contains information about the multitool specified in the job.
● Loading:
The "target location" parameter's magazine location should be loaded with a tool via the
"source location" parameter's loading station.
● Unloading:
The tool in the "source location" parameter's magazine location should be unloaded to the
"target location" parameter's unloading station.
● Relocating:
The tool in the "source location" parameter's magazine location should be relocated to the
"target location" parameter's magazine location.
● Positioning:
The "source location" parameter's magazine location should be positioned at the "target
location" parameter's change/loading/unloading station. The tool remains in its magazine
location.
● Positioning is an NC activity:
The positioning job comes from the part program.
● Multitool: Positioning
The tool in the multitool is moved to the machining position. The multitool remains in the
tool holder / spindle.
● Multitool: Positioning is an NC activity:
The positioning job comes from the part program.
● Source location:
Magazine and location number of a tool that traverses or should be positioned at a change
or loading station.
● Target location:
Magazine and location number to where a tool is moving or to where a magazine location
should be positioned.
● Loading/unloading without moving magazine:
The signal is set by the HMI when reading in setup data or for the "Unload all tools" function
in addition to the loading and unloading jobs. The signal can be used in the PLC user
program to interlock undesirable magazine movements (e.g. set only total
acknowledgment, no further action). The signal is reset by the system with a valid end
acknowledgment for the job to the tool management.
● Multitool: Type:
Type of distance coding: 1 = location number, 2 = length, 3 = angle
● Multitool: Number of locations
Number of tool locations available in the multitool
