2.12.27 FC 26: HPU_MCP Transfer of HPU/HT6 signals to the interface
Description of functions
With FC HPU_MCP (machine control panel signals of the handheld programming device),
the following are transferred from the machine control panel (MCP) to the corresponding
signals of the NCK/PLC interface:
• Mode groups
• WCS/MCS switchover
• Traversing keys
• Override
In the basic program (FC 2), handwheel selections, modes and other operating signals
continue to be transferred from the operator panel front or HMI to the NCK/PLC interface so
that the modes support selection from the MCP or HMI.
Transfer of HMI signals to the interface can be deactivated by setting the value of the
parameter "MMCToIF" to "FALSE" in FB 1 (DB 7).
The following specifications apply to the feed override, axis travel keys and INC keys
depending on the active mode or on the coordinate system selected:
• Feed override:
– The feed override is transferred to the interface of the selected channel and to the
interface of the axes.
– The feed override signals are transferred to the NC channel in addition to the "Rapid
traverse override" (DBB 5) interface byte if the "Feed override for rapid traverse effective"
HMI signal is set (exception: Switch setting "Zero"). "Rapid traverse override effective" is
also set with this HMI signal.
Machine functions for INC and axis travel keys:
– When the MCS is selected, the signals are transferred to the interface of the selected
machine axis (for 6 axes).
– When the WCS is selected, the signals of the first three axes are transferred to the geo-
axis interface of the parameterized channel. The remaining three axes are transferred to
the interface of the selected machine axis.
The handwheel selection signals of the HMI are decoded and activated in the associated
(machine) axis interface or geo-axis interface of the relevant handwheel (only if FB 1
parameter "HWheelMMC := TRUE").
The LEDs on the machine control panel operate on the basis of the checkback signals from
the selections made.
Feedrate and spindle Start/Stop are not transferred to the interface, but output modally as a
"FeedHold" or "SpindleHold" signal. The user can link these signals to other signals leading
to a feed or spindle stop (this can be implemented, e.g., using the appropriate input signals
in FC 10: AL_MSG). The associated LEDs are activated at the same time.
