ACS-Automation Posts: 9 Rating: (0)	Hello, I am commissioning a 2 axis + analog spindle vertical boring mill with a tool changer magazine. Now my question, how can I control the axis from the PLC. I looked in the documention but I am not quite sure what to use. What I want to do is, moving the x-axis and z-axis to a specific point and then unclamp the tool, rotate the magazine and clamp the new tool. How can I program these points and control them via the PLC? Thanks Frank

Thanks Frank Hello, If your Tool magazine motor is servo motor ,then you can directly program the axis degree and for others operation you have write it in PLC using M commands with interlocking read in Disable for every operation. Could you tell more information about Tool magazine like ,type of motor,freed back inputs of it etc

rantu Posts: 38 Rating: (0)	Hi, Tool change logic should be written in tool change part program. here you can define x & z axis positions directly or with G75. If your magazine is Servo axis you can program in 2 ways (1) Via NC Part program(2) PLC axis control. for NC controlled we need to write part program For PLC axis logic Pls. refer to PLC example file which comes after installing PLC tool box of 802dsl. After installing tool box you will find the description file inyou PC as shown below Start ---> Programs ---> Programming Tool PLC 802D ---> Lib802dsl-->Description English -- In this document you may search for IS_PLC_axis Rantu Attachment PLC axis_decription.pdf (289 Downloads)

ACS-Automation Posts: 9 Rating: (0)	Hi Rantu, I actually did it this way. I am not totally satisified but it works. The only problem, I do not know how the operator can start that tool change part program of his program when he machines a workpiece. Could you send me an example. It is the first time for me, setting up a CNC machine with a 802Dsl controller. The toolchanger motor is a 3 ph motor with no feedback. 1.) X-axis and Z-axis moves into position of tool magazine 2.) tool unclamps 3.) magazine rotates until it finds programmed tool 4.) tool clamps 5.) ram moves back into machine area. Thanks for your help.

Best regard
