Help with M00

Post by Viani86 »

Hello friends,
I also have this question about using an aux to open and close the pneumatic chuck after the M00. If I use the functions M61 (open chuck) and M62 (open chuck) in the program in automatic it works correctly. Now if you use the keyboard shortcut (aux) this will terminate the program. waiting for new start and back at the beginning of the program.
Thank you

That will require custom PLC programming. Not rocket science, but more than just assigning an Aux key via Parameters.

As a hypothetical example (which is all I can suggest in the absence of report files), let us suppose that you have M61 defined in your PLC program, and you want the Aux6 key to turn it on and off (in addition to the M61 and M81 codes).

You could add lines like:

Code: Select all

IF (Aux6Key || KbAux6Key_M || SkinAux6_M) THEN (Aux6PD)
IF M61 ^ Aux6PD THEN (M61), (Aux6LED)
to your PLC program source, then recompile it.

You would also, of course, change Parameter 193 from 6111 back to 0, since you would no longer be using the Parameter-based Aux key mapping.
