WinPC-NC Light Parameter settings
Machine bed dimensions and area monitoring
Machine size The effective movement area of the machine can be defined using
these parameters. If area monitoring is activated, WinPC-NC checks
and monitors these limits during subsequent movements, including
jog movement.
A parameter activates or deactivates monitoring of this limits.
Reference offset
Safe moving free
of the reference
switch
To avoid a stop directly at the reference switch's edge after a
reference and moving free it is possible to determine an additional
path with the reference offset.This has to be carried out after moving
free from the switch. First after moving the offset the axis is resetted
or the defined reference position is adjusted.
Typical values are 0.5 to 1mm additional distances to the switch.
Checking reference switches
Reference move
exclusive with
vacant switches
Prior to a reference move the parameter induces WinPC-NC to
check the switches. Only if each defined switch is vacant a reference
move can take place.
This test makes sense if several reference switches are connected on
the LPT port by a single input line and if it is not possible for
WinPC-NC to recognize the axis currently placed on its switch.
In case if the reference move should be rejected due to one or several
actuated switches, it is necessary to move the switches free by the
function JOG.
Signal wizzard
Userfriendly
adjustment of
the signals
By means of the signal wizzard a userfriendly adjustment and
definition of all inputs and outputs is ensured. As this task is of great
importance, you will receive detailed information concerning
possibilities in a separat chapter.
