Detailed description
2.6 Interface structure
The control/status functions are transmitted cyclically at the start of OB1. The signals*
entered in the channelspecific interface by the MMC (MMC signals are entered by the PLC
operating system) are also transferred at this time if the signals have been defined on the
NC OP, not on the MCP.
* MMC signals are entered by the PLC operating system
Auxiliary functions and G functions are entered in the interface data blocks in two ways.
First, they are entered with the change signals.
• M signals M00 - M99 * (they are transferred from the NCK with extended address 0) are
• In the case of the G functions, the group is additionally decoded and the G functions
• S values are also entered together with the related M signals (M03, M04, M05) in the
When the tool management function is activated in the NCK, the assignment of spindle or
revolver and the loading/unloading points are entered (DB71-73) in separate interface DBs.
The triggering and parameter assignment of NCK functions is performed by means of PLC
function calls.
The following function calls are available, for example:
• Position a linear axis or rotary axis
• Position an indexing axis
• Start a prepared asynchronous subprogram (ASUB)
• Read/write NC variables
• Update magazine assignment
Some of the above functions are described in their own function documentation.
