At a glance

This acquisition zone is used to display the state and activity of the inputs and the and sensors.

The Enable/Recalibrate/Captures zone indicates the current status of the capture and recalibration registers. The buttons are used to confirm the angle and recalibration conditions. The direct recalibration buttons are used to recalibrate the angle and the number of cycles on the rising edge of the action on the button. The capture confirmation buttons are used to confirm the angle and number of cycles capture conditions.

Operation of the Buttons

"Left click", the action is a push/pull type of operation on the %Q object unless it is controlled by the application program.

"Right click", opens a pull-down menu which is used to force the function to 0 or 1. The Unforce option is used to remove the forcing in progress. The status of the button indicates forcing in progress.

Recalibration

This is the module function which is used to adjust the axis in relation to the machine zero or to synchronize the axis in relation to the arrival of a part.

Recalibration forces the position reading to a value which is predefined by the "recalibration value" parameter (included in the pulse field of the cycle).

The module allows recalibration to be carried out systematically for each cycle or for only one cycle. This recalibration is always conditioned to the IREC input.

Capture

A module function that is used to sample the position value of the axis on detection of a precise event (input Icapt0 and/or Icapt1). The capture has no impact on the values of the axis nor on the cam processor.

The implementation of this function allows the application to manage the process better, for example: in monitoring the number of pulses sent by the encoder, the size of the parts, the axis slip, the angle of arrival of the parts.
