DB31, ...
DBX60.0
Spindle/no axis
Signal state 0 or
edge change
1 → 0
The machine axis is operated as an axis
The interface signals to the axis (DB31, ... DBB12 - DBB15) and from the axis
(DB31, ... DBB74 - DBB81) are valid.
The interface signals to the spindle (DB31, ... DBB16 - DBB19) and from the spindle
(DB31, ... DBB82 - DBB91) are invalid.
Application
example(s)
If a machine axis operates alternatively as a spindle or rotary axis:
• Turning machine: spindle/C axis
• Milling machine: spindle/rotary axis for rigid tapping
The currently active operating mode
can be identified from interface signal:
DB31, ... DBX60.0 (spindle/no axis).
DB31, ...
DBX82.3
Change gear stage
Edge evaluation: yes Signal(s) updated: cyclic
Specification of gear stage:
• Manual specification using M function M41 - M45 corresponding to gear stage 1 - 5
If set gear stage <> actual gear stage =>
DB31, ... DBX82.3 (change gear) = 1
DB31, ... DBX82.0 - DBX82.2 (set gear stage) = set gear stage
• Automatic gear stage selection depending on the programmed spindle speed using M function
M40
If specified set speed requires gear stage change =>
DB31, ... DBX82.3 (change gear) = 1
DB31, ... DBX82.0 - DBX82.2 (set gear stage) = set gear stage
Signal state 1 or
edge change
0 → 1
New set gear stage was specified AND
set gear stage <> actual gear stage
Special cases,
errors, ......
Signal is not output if: Set gear stage == actual gear stage
Corresponds to .... DB31, ... DBX82.0 - DBX82.2 (set gear stage A to C)
DB31, ... DBX16.0 - 16.2 (actual gear stage A to C)
DB31, ... DBX16.3 (gear is changed)
