Automatic mode is used for executing SMOVE functions.
Description of Movement / Speed Field
This table shows the display zones of the Movement/ Speed field:
Display zone
Description
X Current
Displays the moving part position using the measurement unit defined in the configuration.
X Target
Displays the moving part setpoint position: target position (defined in instruction) (1)
X Following error
Displays the deviation between the setpoint position calculated and the actual position of the moving part (following error).
F Current
Displays the moving part speed using the measurement unit defined in the configuration.
F Target
Displays the setpoint speed of the moving part: target speed (speed defined by CMV coefficient in modulated instruction) (2)
N / G9x / G
These fields display the instruction which is being executed.
N = step number, G9x = movement type, G = instruction code
Position
The bar chart shows the progress of the moving part within the limits defined in the configuration. The bar chart is colored green, and becomes red if the limits are exceeded
Speed
The bar chart expresses the speed of the moving part in relation to maximum speed as a percentage. The bar chart is colored green, and becomes red if the maximum speed is exceeded
NOTE: The number of display digits is limited to 10. A line of dots () is displayed for any higher value.
(1) Displays the number of latches (1 or 2) for instruction G07.
(2) Displays the Time Out for instruction G05.
This table shows indicators for the Movement/ Speed field:
Indicator
State
Indication
+ Direction
- Direction
/
Indicates that the part is moving in a positive direction
Indicates that the part is moving in a negative direction
DONE
Lit
Indicates that the movement(s) in progress are now finished
NEXT
Lit
Indicates that the module is ready to receive a movement command
AT Point
Lit
Indicates that the movement in progress has finished, and that the moving part is in the target window (for instructions with stop)
TH Point
Lit
Indicates that the theoretical setpoint has been reached
Feed hold
Lit
Indicates that the Feed hold function has been activated (the CMV coefficient is set at 0)
Description of Axis Field
This table shows the display and command zones for the Axis field:
LED / Button
State
Indication
OK
Lit
Axis in operational state (no blocking fault)
Referenced
Lit
Referenced axis
Stopped
Lit
Moving part stationary
Enable
/
This button is used to control the variable speed controller enable relay
Description of I/O Field
This table shows the display zones for the I/O field:
LED
Indication
PO Cam
Signal state (0 or 1) on Reference point input
Recalibration
Signal state (0 or 1) on Recalibration input
Event Cam
Signal state (0 or 1) on Event input
Aux
Signal state (0 or 1) on auxiliary output
1 = LED lit, 0 = LED off
Description of Commands
This table describes the command zone:
Command
Description
STOP
Stops the moving part according to deceleration defined in the configuration
Param
Used to enter external values (position tracking function)
CMV
Used to enter a value from 0 to 2000 which determines the speed multiplier coefficient (0.000 to 2000 in intervals of 1/1000)
Description of Sources EVT Field
This table shows the display zones for the Sources EVT field:
Indicator
State
Indication
PRef
Lit
Indicates PREF position latching (1)
PRef1
/
This field displays the memorized PREF1 position (1)
PRef2
/
This field displays the memorized PREF2 position (1)
End G10/G11
Lit
Indicates event arrival while G10 or G11 instruction is being executed
End G05
Lit
Indicates that execution of instruction G05 is complete
TO G05
Lit
Indicates that the Time Out, defined in instruction G05, has elapsed
(1) Providing that an event processing task has been associated with command G07.
There is no indicator associated with the Modulo crossing event.
Description of Commands Field
This table describes the buttons in the Commands field:
Command
Description
Slave
Changes the axis to slave mode (slave of another axis). 0 axis cannot be set to slave axis mode
External Command
Changes the axis to a slave of periodic setpoint
Pause
Commands the moving part to stop at the end of a movement with a stop in progress
Step by step
Changes the axis to Step by step mode
Next step
In Step by step mode, activates the waiting movement
