Machine Parameters - Fagor CNC 8060 Installation Manual

MACHINE PARAMETERS.

This chapter describes the meaning of all the machine parameters of the CNC. Some
parameters depend on the CNC model (8060/8065) and others are common to both. The
CNC shows the right parameters depending on the model and the active software options.
In order for the machine tool to be able to properly execute the programmed instructions and
interpret the elements connected to it, the CNC must know the specific machine data. Some
of this data may be the number of axes, feedrates, accelerations, feedback, type of tool
magazine, tool changer, etc. This data is set by the machine manufacturer and must be
communicated to the CNC through the machine parameters. The machine parameters of
the CNC are shown grouped as follows.
Machine parameters.
General parameters.
Axis and spindle parameters.
Jog parameters.
Parameters of the M function table.
Parameters for the Kinematics table.
Parameters for the magazines.
HMI parameters.
OEM parameters.
Icons associated with machine parameters.
Parameter validating method.
This icon may appear next to the parameter name and indicates that the CNC must be
restarted for the parameter to assume its new value. The parameters that do not have this
icon next to them can assume the new value by just pressing the "Validate" softkey.
Parameter matching.
This icon may appear next to the parameter name and indicates that it involved in the
parameter matching between the CNC and the drive.
Meaning.
These parameters set the name of the axes and spindles,
power-up conditions, subroutines associated with specific
functions, etc.
Some of these parameters must be defined first because
they configure the axis parameter tables. For example, the
number and name of the axes and spindles, etc.
These parameters indicate the properties of the axes and
spindles, travel limits, moving conditions, related
handwheels, probing, compensations, etc.
Each axis or spindle may have up to 4 work sets. The
following must be set for each one: feedrates and gains,
home searches, accelerations, etc.
These parameters set the handwheels and the JOG keys.
These parameters set the new M functions, the type of
synchronization and the subroutine associated with each M
function of the system.
These parameters indicate the type and characteristics of
each kinematics.
These parameters indicate the number of tool magazines
and number of tool pockets (positions), etc.
These parameters are used to define the communication
environment (interface) between the operator and the CNC.
These parameters set the reading/writing of drive variables,
editing cams, defining a group of generic parameters so the
manufacturer can use them like machine parameters, etc.
