Various interface signals (A2) General Brief description This chapter describes the functionality of various interface signals which are of general relevance, but are not described in the function-specific chapters. Interfaces The exchange of signals and data between the PLC user program and the NCK (numerical control kernel) or HMI (display unit) is performed via various data areas.

Page 25: Position Monitoring
4.2.2 Position monitoring Function In order to ensure that an axis reaches the required position within the specified time, the timer that can be configured in MD36020 POSITIONING_TIME (time delay exact stop fine) is started at the end of each motion block (setpoint has reached target) and, when the timer runs out, a check made to ascertain whether the axis has reached its setpoint within the tolerance of MD36010 STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine).

Clamping monitoring is active on axes and position-controlled spindles. Effect If the axis is pushed out of position beyond the clamping tolerance during clamping the following occurs: ●...
Page 28: Actual Velocity Monitoring
Note In the "Expert mode" access level (protection level 1), MD36220 CTRLOUT_LIMIT_TIME can be used to set a delay time, after the expiration of which an alarm is output and the axes are brought to a standstill. The default value of this time is zero.
Page 29: Hardware Limit Switches
4.3.2 Hardware limit switches Function Every axis has a hardware (HW) limit switch for each traversing direction, which prevents the slide from moving out of the slide bed. If the hardware limit switch is crossed, the PLC signals this to the NC via IS "Hardware limit switch plus/minus" (DB380x.DBX1000.1 or .0) and the movement of all axes is stopped.

The second way is called "continuous path mode" and it attempts to avoid deceleration of the path velocity at the block boundary in order to change to the next block with as little change of path velocity as possible. "LookAhead" is a procedure in continuous path mode that achieves velocity control with LookAhead over several NC part program blocks.
Page 33: Continuous Path Mode
● Exact traversing of the contour on the basis of the criterion (e.g. exact stop fine) can deviate from the programmed contour in order to achieve faster machining. ● An absolutely constant velocity is required. Activate exact stop The "Exact stop" function can be selected in the NC part program by command G60 or G9. G60 is modal, G9 is non-modal. G9 is used if continuous path mode is to be interrupted.
Page 34: Velocity Reduction According To Overload Factor
Implicit exact stop In some cases, an exact stop needs to be generated in continuous path mode to allow the execution of subsequent actions. In such situations, the path velocity is reduced to zero. ● If auxiliary functions are output before the traverse motion, the previous block is only terminated when the selected exact-stop criterion is fulfilled.
Page 35: Jerk Limiting Along The Path Through Velocity Reduction

Page 36 ● : Continuous velocity and acceleration block transitions COMPCURV COMPCAD The compressor function can generate one polynomial block from theoretically any number of linear and circular COMPCAD blocks.

Acceleration (B2) Acceleration profiles Abrupt acceleration changes With the v/t-linear control of the axis velocity that is normally applied, the motion is controlled such that the acceleration rate changes abruptly over time. With the discontinuous, stepped acceleration, jerk-free starting and braking of the axes is not possible, but a time optimized velocity/time profile can be implemented.

For information on operations relating to "Setting (an) option(s)", please refer to the chapter titled "Licensing in the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED (Page 325)". Gantry axes Gantry axes are mechanically grouped machine axes.
Page 42 Example: Gantry-type milling machine with a gantry axis grouping (X and X1) The purpose of the "gantry axes" function is to control and monitor machine axes which are rigidly coupled in this way. Terms The following terms are frequently used in this functional description: Gantry axes Gantry axes comprise one pair of axes, the leading axis and the synchronized axis.
Page 43 Components The "gantry axes" function can be subdivided into the following functional units: ● Setpoint generation of synchronized axis ● Monitoring of actual value difference ● Referencing and synchronizing the leading axis and synchronized axis Setpoint generation of synchronized axis From the point of view of the operator, all coupled gantry axes are traversed as if only one axis, i.e.
Page 44: Referencing And Synchronizing Gantry Axes
The monitoring functions are deactivated while the grouping is operating in "Follow-up" mode. Extended monitoring An extended monitoring function can be activated with the following machine data: MD37150 GANTRY_FUNCTION_MASK (gantry functions) Referencing and synchronization of gantry axes As the example "Gantry-type milling machine" shows, the forced coupling between gantry axes must remain intact in all operating modes as well as immediately after power ON.
Page 45 To execute this compensatory motion, the gantry grouping must be separated by means of the following machine data: MD37140 GANTRY_BREAK_UP (break up gantry grouping) Gantry synchronization All gantry axes must first be referenced and then synchronized after the control system is switched on. During gantry synchronization, all gantry axes approach the reference position of the gantry grouping in the decoupled state.
Page 46 ● Difference is higher than the gantry warning limit for the synchronized axis: IS "Gantry synchronization read to start" is set to "1" and the message "Wait for synchronization start of gantry grouping x" is output. The gantry synchronization process is not started automatically in this case, but must be started explicitly by the operator or from the PLC user program.
Page 47 Synchronization process A synchronization process is always required in the following cases: ● after the reference point approach of all axes included in a grouping, ● if the axes become desynchronized (see below). Operational sequence failure If the referencing process described above is interrupted as a result of disturbances or a RESET, proceed as follows: ●...
Page 48: Automatic Synchronization
Allowance for deviations in distance between the zero mark and the reference point must be made for specific axes via the machine data: ● MD34080 REFP_MOVE_DIST (reference point distance) ● MD34090 REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR (reference point offset/absolute offset) Referencing direction selection The zero mark leveling function of the following axis can be defined using the following machine data: MD37150 GANTRY_FUNCTION_MASK bit 1 Value Meaning...
Page 49: Points To Note
7.3.3 Points to note Channelspecific referencing Gantry axes can also be referenced on a channel-specific basis: DB3200. DBX0001.0 (activate referencing) The value of the leading axis machine data is used for the axis sequence during channel-specific referencing: MD34110 REFP_CYCLE_NR (axis sequence for channel-specific referencing) After the reference point of the leading axis has been reached, the synchronized axis is referenced first as described above.
Page 50: Start-Up Of Gantry Axes
Start-up of gantry axes General information Owing to the forced coupling which is normally present between leading and synchronized gantry axes, the gantry axis grouping must be commissioned as if it were an axis unit. For this reason, the axial machine data for the leading and synchronized axes must always be defined and entered jointly.
Page 51 ● MD32810 EQUIV_SPEEDCTRL_TIME (equivalent time constant speed control loop for precontrol) The following control parameters must be set to the same value for the leading axis and synchronized axis: ● MD32400 AX_JERK_ENABLE (axial jerk limitation) ● MD32410 AX_JERK_TIME (time constant for the axial jerk filter) ●...
Page 52 This difference must be applied as the reference point offset: MD34080 REFP_MOVE_DIST (reference point distance) MD34090 REFP_MOVE_DIST_CORR (reference point offset/absolute offset) Synchronizing gantry axes The gantry synchronization process must be activated with IS "Start gantry synchronization" (see Section "Referencing and synchronizing gantry axes (Page 44)").

Note As a supplement to the more general description given here of features of start-up and dynamic control response of drives, a complete example of a concrete constellation defined on the basis of its machine data can be found in Chapter "Example (Page 55)".

Page 55: Example
Position display The position actual value display shows the actual values of both the leading axis and the synchronized axes. The same applies to the service display values in the system data operating area. Software limit switch The SW limit switch monitor is processed for the leading axis only. If the leading axis crosses the limit switch, all axes in the gantry grouping are braked to a standstill.

7.7.3 Commencing start-up Referencing The following steps must be taken: ● Select "REF.POINT" operating mode ● Start referencing for the leading axis (axis 1) ● Wait until message "10654 Channel 1 Waiting for synchronization start" appears.

Page 61 Traversing the geometry axes If workpieces whose workpiece coordinate system is not parallel to the machine coordinate system are being machined (inclined clamping, programmed rotation active in the contour), traversing can be done along the axes of the workpiece coordinate system via the traverse keys or handwheel. In the stopped state, switch from operating mode "AUTO" to "JOG" and traverse a geometry axis instead of a machine axis.
Page 62: Continuous Travel
Acceleration The maximum axis acceleration is defined with the axis-specific MD32300 MAX_AX_ACCEL. The acceleration can also be set via a preset characteristic curve in "JOG" mode. The possible settings are described in Chapter "Acceleration (B2) (Page 40)". PLC interface A separate PLC interface (DB3200.DBB1000, ff or DB3300.DBB1000, ff ) exists for geometry axes (axes in WCS) that contains the same signals as the axis-specific PLC interface.

Page 67 Movement in the opposite direction The response while traversing in the opposite direction (i.e. in the opposite direction to the one used when approaching the fixed point) depends on the setting of bit 2 in the following machine data: MD10735 JOG_MODE_MASK (settings for "JOG" mode) Traversing in the opposite direction is only possible if bit 2 is set.
Page 68: Parameter Setting
8.5.3 Parameter setting Movement in the opposite direction The response while traversing in the opposite direction, i.e., against the direction of the approaching fixed point depends on the setting of Bit 2 in the machine data: MD10735 JOG_MODE_MASK (settings for "JOG" mode) Value Description Travel in the opposite direction is not possible (default setting).

Page 105: Interpolatory Compensation
11.3 Interpolatory compensation 11.3.1 General Terminology Compensation value: The difference between the axis position measured by the position actual-value encoder and the required programmed axis position (= axis position of the ideal machine). The compensation value is often also referred to as the correction value.
Page 106: Lec
Compensation value at reference point The compensation table should be structured such that the compensation value at the reference point is "zero". This prevents position jumps occurring when the LEC is activated (after reference point approach). 11.3.2 Function The leadscrew error compensation / measuring system error compensation (LEC) is an axis-specific compensation. The principle of the LEC is to modify the axis-specific position actual value by the assigned compensation value in the interpolation cycle and to apply this value to the machine axis for immediate traversal.
Page 107 The compensation value of interpolation point k is used for all positions larger than the end position (exception: table with modulo function). Compensation values which are greater than k are inactive. ● Compensation with modulo function: $AA_ENC_COMP_IS_MODULO[0,AXi] = 1 When compensation with modulo function is activated, the compensation table is repeated cyclically; i.e. the compensation value at position $AA_ENC_COMP_MAX (interpolation point $AA_ENC_COMP[0,k,AXi]) is immediately followed by the compensation value at position $AA_ENC_COMP_MIN (interpolation point $AA_ENC_COMP[0,0,AXi]).
Page 108: Angularity Error Compensation
11.3.3 Angularity error compensation Function The angularity error compensation is a main-spindle-specific compensation used for the rotary positioning angle on lathes. The magnitude of the compensation value is not limited and is not monitored. In order to avoid impermissibly high velocities and accelerations caused by compensation, small compensation values must be selected.
Page 109 ● Compensation with modulo function: $AA_ENC_COMP_IS_MODULO[0,AXi] = 1 When compensation with modulo function is activated, the compensation table is repeated cyclically; that is, the compensation value at position $AA_ENC_COMP_MAX (interpolation point $AA_ENC_COMP[0,k,AXi]) is immediately followed by the compensation value at position $AA_ENC_COMP_MIN (interpolation point $AA_ENC_COMP[0,0,AXi]). For the main spindle it is therefore suitable to program 0°...

Page 116: Following Error Compensation (Feedforward Control)
11.4 Following error compensation (feedforward control) 11.4.1 General Axis-specific following error The following error can be reduced to almost zero with the help of the feedforward control. This feedforward control is therefore also called "following error compensation". Particularly during acceleration in contour curvatures, e.g. circles and corners, this following error leads to undesirable, velocity-dependent contour violations.
Page 117: Friction Compensation (Quadrant Error Compensation)
Parameters In order to achieve a correctly set speed feedforward control, the equivalent time constant of the speed control loop must be determined exactly and entered as machine data MD32810 EQUIV_SPEEDCTRL_TIME (equivalent time constant of the closed speed control loop) during commissioning. 11.5 Friction compensation (quadrant error compensation) 11.5.1...
Page 118: Commissioning
11.5.3.2 Commissioning Circularity test It is recommended that the circularity test be used for the commissioning of the friction compensation with constant injected value, as described above. The commissioning sequence is divided into the following steps: 1. Perform circularity test without friction compensation 2.
Page 119 Compensation value too small Too small a compensation value (MD32520) in the circularity test is indicated by insufficient compensation of the contour deviations at the quadrant transitions. Compensation value too large Too large a compensation value (MD32520) in the circularity test is indicated by overcompensation of the contour deviations at the quadrant transitions.
Page 120 Time constant too small Too small a time constant (MD32540) in the circularity test is indicated by short-time compensation of the contour deviations at the quadrant transitions which immediately increase thereafter. Time constant too large Too large a time constant (MD32540) in the circularity test compensates the contour deviations at the quadrant transitions. (Requirement: The optimum compensation value has already been determined.) However, with too large a time constant, the compensation value applies too long and results in an overcompensation at the next circular contour.
Page 121: Friction Compensation With Acceleration-Dependent Compensation Value
Mean value generation If different parameter values result for different radii and path velocities, the best values should be determined via mean value generation.

● Positioning mode, see Section "Spindle positioning mode (Page 160)" ● Axis mode ● Tapping without compensating chuck, see also Chapter "Feed (Page 172)" Switching between spindle modes: Switching between spindle modes ● Control mode ---> oscillation mode The spindle changes to oscillation mode if a new gear stage has been specified using automatic gear stage selection (M40) in conjunction with a new S value or by M41 to M45.
Page 158: Spindle Oscillation Mode
Requirements A spindle position actual value sensor is absolutely essential for M3/M4/M5 in conjunction with revolution feedrate (G95, F in mm/rev or inch/rev), constant cutting rate (G96, G97), thread cutting (G33). Independent spindle reset MD35040 SPIND_ACTIVE_AFTER_RESET defines the response of the spindle after reset or program end (M2, M30): ●...
Page 159 The direction of rotation is determined by IS "Set direction of rotation counterclockwise" or IS "Set direction of rotation clockwise" (DB380x.DBX2002.7 or .6). The oscillation movement and the two times t1 and t2 (for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation) must be simulated on the PLC.
Page 160: Spindle Positioning Mode
17.2.4 Spindle positioning mode When is positioning mode used? The spindle positioning mode stops the spindle at the defined position and activates the position control, which remains active until it is deactivated. With the SPOS =..program function, the spindle is in positioning mode (see also Section "Programming (Page 166)").
Page 161 Phase 5: The position control remains active and stops the spindle in the programmed position. The IS "Position reached with exact stop fine" (DB390x.DBX0000.7) and "... coarse" (DB390x.DBX0000.6) are set if the distance between the spindle actual position and the programmed position (spindle setpoint position) is less than the settings for the exact stop fine and coarse limits (respectively defined in MD36010 STOP_LIMIT_FINE and MD36000 STOP_LIMIT_COARSE).
Page 162: Synchronization
Sequence The spindle travels to the programmed end point optimally in terms of time. Depending on the appropriate secondary conditions, the operational sequences in phases 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 or 1 - 3a - 4a are executed. Phase 1: SPOS will switch the spindle to position control mode.
Page 163: Gear Stage Change
Maximum encoder frequency exceeded When the spindle speed reaches a speed (large S value programmed), which exceeds the maximum encoder limit frequency MD36300 ENC_FREQ_LIMIT (the maximum mechanical speed limit of the encoder must not be exceeded), the synchronization is lost. The spindle continues to rotate, but with reduced functionality. If a speed is then reached that is below the encoder limit frequency in MD36302 ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW (% value of MD36300), the spindle automatically synchronizes with the next zero mark signal.

If a spindle speed exceeding the maximum speed of the permanently defined gear stage is programmed, the speed is limited to the maximum speed of this gear stage and the IS "Programmed speed too high" (DB390x.DBX2001.1) is enabled. If a speed is programmed lower than the minimum speed of this gear stage, the speed is raised to this speed. The IS "Setpoint speed increased"...

17.6.4 Maximum spindle speed Maximum spindle speed A maximum speed is defined for "maximum spindle speed" spindle monitoring, which the spindle may not exceed. The maximum spindle speed is entered in MD35100 SPIND_VELO_LIMIT. The control limits an excessive spindle speed setpoint to this value. If the actual spindle speed exceeds the maximum spindle speed despite allowance for the spindle speed tolerance (MD35150 SPIND_DES_VELO_TOL), there is a drive fault and IS "Speed limit exceeded"...

If the encoder limit frequency is exceeded, the IS "Referenced/synchronized" DB390x.DBX0000.4) is reset for the measurement system and IS "Encoder limit frequency 1 exceeded" (DB390x.DBX0000.2) is enabled. If the maximum encoder limit frequency has been exceeded and the speed subsequently falls below the encoder frequency in MD36302 ENC_FREQ_LIMIT_LOW (% value of MD36300 ENC_FREQ_LIMIT), the spindle is automatically synchronized with the next zero mark or the next BERO signal.

Page 176: Rapid Traverse G0
18.2 Rapid traverse G0 Application The rapid traverse movement G0 is used for rapid positioning of the tool, but not for direct workpiece machining. All axes can be traversed simultaneously. This results in a straight path. For each axis, the maximum speed (rapid traverse) is defined in machine data MD32000 MAX_AX_VELO. If only one axis traverses, it uses its rapid traverse.
