The following characters can be used for the axis names:
X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W, Q, E as well as possible axis extensions X1 ... X15
etc.
Up to 8 axis converter pairs per channel can be input.
You cannot enter values directly for the spindle conversion.
The values can be entered via the PLC program or via the part program
(@ function).
In the input line you can delete character by character from the right to the left.
The contents of the selected input field are deleted.
Press the ETC key to extend the SETTING DATA softkey bar.
You can use this softkey to select the input screen for gearbox interpolation
from the parameter/setting data menu. It is possible to program the gearbox
interpolation groups completely via the input field. The input field is also used
to display the current status and configuration of the groups.
You select a gearbox interpolation group by entering the name of the following
drive in the "Following axis" field. The input screen is then in DISPLAY mode
and shows the current GI status of this following drive. If changes are made in
any of the other fields, the control automatically switches to INPUT mode. The
values which have just been entered only become active when the
corresponding softkey is pressed. When the function has been performed, the
system switches back to DISPLAY mode. This is a sign that the values have
been accepted. The operator actions are identical to programming with G
commands, i.e. each softkey represents a GI command. The G commands are
described along with the softkeys.
