8.10 Timers and workpiece counters
8.10.1 Runtime timers
Functionality
The timers are provided as system variables ($A...) which can be used either for monitoring
of the technological processes in the program or only in the display.
These timers can only be read. There are timers that are always active. Others can be deac-
tivated via machine data.
Timers – always active
S $AN_SETUP_TIME
It is automatically set to zero upon "Control boot with default values".
S $AN_POWERON_TIME
It is automatically set to zero upon every booting of the control.
Timers that can be deactivated
The following timers are activated via machine data (default setting).
The start is timer-specific. Each active execution time measurement is interrupted automati-
cally in the stopped program status or at feedrate override =zero.
The behavior of the activated time measurements in active dry run feedrate and program
test can be defined by machine data.
S $AC_OPERATING_TIME
The operating times of all programs between NC start and program end / reset are to-
taled in the AUTOMATIC mode. The timer is zeroed with each power-up of the control
system.
S $AC_CYCLE_TIME
The runtime between NC start and program end / reset is measured in the selected NC
program. The timer is reset with the start of a new NC program.
S $AC_CUTTING_TIME
The runtime of the path axes without active rapid traverse in all NC programs between
NC start and program end / reset with active tool is measured.
The measurement is also interrupted with active dwell time.
The timer is zeroed automatically at a "Controller run-up with default values".
