General

With SW 4 and higher, a rotary axis can also be operated as an endlessly rotating
1)
axis (ERA) .
The scope of functions of the existing rotary axis remains unchanged.
The "Endlessly rotating axis" functionality corresponds to that of a simultaneous axis. The
ERA is not restricted by block limits, in other words, it continues to rotate in the desired
direction at the desired speed provided no stop criterion is fulfilled (shutdown, axis reset,
error).
Furthermore, shutdown can be effected with a specified position.
The characteristics of the "Endlessly rotating axis" are as follows:
• Axis is generally in position control mode
• Speed setpoint resolution corresponds to set position control resolution
• Feedrate input in input system * 10
Example: If the input system is set to 10
programmable feedrate unit with G94 is active is calculated as follows:
-4
10 mm * 10 rev/min = 10
The "Endlessly rotating axis" function is programmed by means of new axis-specific G
commands.
It can be controlled from several channels independently of the selected operating
mode.
• The feedrate of the endlessly rotating axis is weighted with the axis-specific override.
1) ERA is the abbreviation for endlessly rotating axis.
