Software installation functions for the module

(Original Document)

General

Control Expert software is used for the software installation of the TSX CCY 1128 module.

Description of the functions

The following table describes the functions specific to the electronic application provided by Control Expert for installing a TSX CCY 1128 module.

Functions	Description	Operating mode of the terminal	Operating mode of the cam processor
Configuration	Used for entering the configuration parameters of the module: acquisition: type of encoder, reading format, type of recalibration, type of capture... cam processor: resetting the tracks, behavior with faults... connector: inversion of the tracks.	Offline or online	Stop
Adjusting the recipe	Used for entering the adjustment parameters of the recipe: acquisition: number of points per cycle, backlash, recalibration value.. cam processor: association of the cams with the tracks, track parameters, cam parameters, etc parts counter: threshold	Offline or online	Stop
Adjustment	Used to modify certain adjustment parameters of the module recipe without stopping the cam processor: acquisition: backlash, recalibration value, cam processor: freeforwardfactor, thresholds and values of cam time delays.	Connected	Stop or Run
Debugging	Used to execute the following commands: validation of cams, enabling, forcing outputs enabling, activating recalibration, capturing. It can also be used to display the following states: position reading, inputs, etc, and to perform module and application diagnostics.	Connected	Stop or Run

Logic state which switches to 1 when an angular value in the cycle is overshot and which resets to 0 according to the type of cam.

A cam is systematically associated to one and only one track. Several cams can be associated to one track.

The configuration gathers together the data which characterizes the machine (invariant) and which is necessary for the TSX CCY 1128 module to operate.

All this information is stored in the PLC %KW constants zone. The PLC application cannot modify them.

Module functions that are used to calculate the position reading of the machine.

Position sensor accepted by the module It can be incremental, SSI absolute or parallel (via Telefast ABE 7CPA11).

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.

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.

This is the logic state which can be applied to the physical output. The maximum number of tracks is 32.

The recipe groups together the data required for the module to control the machine for a series of parts. The recipe can be modified or completely changed by the PLC application. All this information is contained in the PLC %MW words in the memory zone reserved for the module.

Area in which the action of the outputs can be programmed.

Cam processor function that is used to compensate for the delay caused by the machine’s actuators.

The anticipation value is applied to all changes of track status. It is specified by the "anticipation factor" defined in the recipe parameters (value between 0 and 32 767 x 50 micro seconds).
