Touch Probe
You can latch the feedback position with the following trigger events.
• Trigger with probe 1 input (Probe 1 Latch Input (/Probe1) signal)
• Trigger with probe 2 input (Probe 2 Latch Input (/Probe2) signal)
• Trigger with encoder zero signal (phase C)
The following two touch probe latches can be used at the same time.
Touch Probe 1 Latch
• Latch control object: 60B8h (bits 0 to 7)
• Latch status object: 60B9h (bits 0 to 7)
• The latched position is always stored in touch probe 1 position value (60BAh).
• Trigger signal: Encoder zero signal or /Probe1 signal
Touch Probe 2 Latch
• Latch control object: 60B8h (bits 8 to 15)
• Latch status object: 60B9h (bits 8 to 15)
• The latched position is always stored in touch probe 2 position value (60BCh).
• Trigger signal: /Probe2 signal
You can change the connector pin assignments and the /Probe1 and /Probe2 signal logic in
the Probe 1 Latch Input Signal parameter (Pn511 = X) and the Probe 2 Latch Input Signal
parameter (Pn511 = X).
Note: Touch probe 1 cannot be used during homing. If touch probe 1 was already active, it will be switched OFF.
