Operating modes

Note the following with regard to the operating modes:

  • For operating function block FCB 12, the configuration settings made in the MOVISUITE® configuration apply.
  • Modulo operating modes can only be used if a cycle limit is set in the Limit values configuration menu.
  • "Automatic" operating mode requires that "Modulo minimum" is set to "0" and "Modulo maximum" to "360°"in the Limit values configuration menu. During operation, the limit values are adjusted automatically using the "Number of tools" parameter.
  • The parameters "Number of tools" and "Diameter" can be set for axes without enable independent of the selected operating mode. The values specified via fieldbus are adopted with a rising edge of the enable (xEnable_ApplicationStop AND xEnable_EmergencyStop). Referencing is necessary again after changing the "Number of tools".
