In addition to the standard DIN 66025 syntax, the user is also provided very useful language expansions. Therefore, e.g. statements such as IF, ELSE, WHILE, SWITCH or arithmetic and trigonometric instructions (e.g. +, *, /, sin, cos, arctan) can be used. Up to 1000 R parameters are available as variables. Interpolation Straight, circular (helix) with tangential axes, level tool radian correction. "Look Ahead" Function A "Look Ahead" function is implemented which is used to make sure that axes limits are not exceeded.
Object-oriented Axis Programming
Tasks can be created quickly and reused using the new type of object-oriented axis programming. Thoroughly tested, high performance tools are used for this purpose. The success of this new principle has been indicated by solutions in the main areas of automation technology. Synchronization If several NC154 axis controllers are used in a system, the sampling instant can be synchronized by linking the "Sync" connections. This guarantees high precision even when coupling gears between different NC154 modules.
Axis Coupling over Multiple Modules
When coupling axes over multiple modules (gears, cams, CNC), the set positions of the master axes are sent to the NC154 modules with the slave axes in an interrupt routine running on the main CPU. The interrupt routine is not allowed to be stopped. These requirements are fulfilled by the following CPUs: • CP260 • IF260 when it is used as a main CPU If electronic gears or cam profiles which are coupled between different modules or racks 1) are used in the application, no other interrupt capable modules (e.g. IF050, IF060, IF260 or IP161 as a parallel processor, EX150 and NW150) can be used in combination with the NC154
