Representation of the handwheel number in the NC/PLC interface signals
Depending on the parameter assignment of MD11324, the representation of the handwheel
number in the NC/PLC interface signals is bit-coded (three handwheels can be represented)
or binary-coded (six handwheels can be represented).
See "Parameter assignment (Page 161)".
Handwheel assignment
It can be set as to which axis is moved by turning the handwheel:
● via the PLC user interface or
● via the user interface (HMI).
The assignment is linked to the NC/PLC interface through the PLC user program. In this
way, several axes can be assigned to one handwheel simultaneously.
Setting via the PLC user interface
The assignment is made using one of the following interface signals:
● Machine axes:
● Geometry axes:
● Orientation axes:
Setting via the user interface (HMI).
Pressing the "Handwheel" softkey in the JOG-mode basic menu displays the "Handwheel"
window. Here, every handwheel can be assigned an axis and the handwheel can be enabled
or disabled.
Note
The handwheel assignment is not possible via the user interface (HMI) for more than three
connected handwheels and a binary-coded representation of the handwheel number in the
NC/PLC interface signals.
