F.7 FlexLoader machine tool interface functionality
Overview
The FlexLoader SC 6000 application functionality handles machine tool and part
specific aspects of the FlexLoader SC 6000. The integrator is fully responsible for
adopting this functionality to the actual application. Described below is two different
template modules. Those describes which routines and data that is needed to
communicate with a machine. All real machine signals is only handled within this
machine module. This makes it easier to change machine or reuse an earlier made
machine module. This means that in a real project, the template module should be
switched out to a module that follow the same structure but are prepared for the
correct machine used in the project. This could be done by rewriting the template
module or replacing it by a pre-made module.

Description
Provides bridge between logical functions within the FlexLoader
SC 6000 application and physical interface for up to two CNC
machine tools. It also includes code to handle indexing table
within both machines.
Provides bridge between logical functions within the FlexLoader
SC 6000 application and physical interface to a lathe machine
tool.
Note
If more machine tools is used than what is handled by the template, then the
functionality can be enhanced by the integrator.
