Completion of mode group Reset
Once all mode group channels are in Reset state, mode group Reset is completed as
follows:
• All alarms with "Mode group reset" criterion are canceled.
• The NC/PLC interface indicates completion of the mode group Reset and the mode
group's readiness to operate:
DB11, ... DBX6.7 = 1 (all channels in Reset state)
DB11, ... DBX6.3 = 1 (mode group ready)
2.2 2.2 Mode groups
Unique mode
The channels of a mode group operate in one mode.
A mode group is either in AUTOMATIC, JOG, or MDA mode.
Several channels of the same mode group cannot be in different modes at the same time. If
individual channels are assigned to different mode groups, a channel switchover activates
the corresponding mode group. This allows mode changes to be initiated implicitly.
Modes in the mode group
The following operating modes are available:
• AUTOMATIC
Automatic processing of part programs.
– Part program test
– All channels of the mode group can be active at the same time.
• JOG in Automatic
JOG in AUTOMATIC is an extension of AUTOMATIC mode intended to simplify use. JOG
can be executed without leaving AUTOMATIC mode if supplementary conditions so
permit.
• JOG
Jogging (manual axis traversal)
– The axes can be traversed manually with the handwheel or the traversing keys.
– Channelspecific signals and interlocks are effective in ASUBs and when a movement is
activated via IDS synchronized actions. Links are also taken into account.
– Every channel in the mode group can be active.
