WinPC-NC Light Parameter settings
The axis is braked when the switch changes the level, at which point
the axis moves in the opposite direction away from the switch at
speed 2.
Reference movement of an axis
Reference point of
the machine
The edge of the reference switch defines the absolute machine zero
point or reference point for this axis. A low value should be
specified for speed 2 so the movement ends with the shortest
possible ramp when moving free.
i
WinPC-NC distinguishes between machine coordinates (with the
reference position as their origin) and workpiece coordinates
with the workpiece zero point.
Changeover time
The changeover time defines the delay for the transition from single
step to continuous movement in jog mode.
WinPC-NC outputs individual steps to the motors every time one of
the cursor keys is pressed briefly or the mouse button is used to click
one of the movement buttons once. If one key or button remains
pressed for a longer time, that is the changeover time, the motor
changes to coninous movement and is not stopped until the key or
button is released.
4.3. Coordinates
In the Coordinates dialog box it is possible to define all parameters
relating to dimensions, help points and the unit of measurement.
