Introduction to Programming

Chapter 10

Important: Your system installer sets a maximum speed in AMP for each

gear range for each spindle configured in AMP. If an S-word is

programmed requesting a spindle speed that exceeds this limit. The

spindle speed holds at the AMP-defined maximum. A new value may be

set for this maximum RPM by programming a G92 code followed by an

S-word. See chapter 17.

When programming an S-word in a block that contains axis motion

commands, the PAL program has the option to temporarily suspend the

axis motion commands until the spindle reaches speed. The control has the

ability to take the programmed spindle speed and automatically search for

the gear range that is AMPed to allow the necessary RPM. The operation

of gear changing and how it is implemented is very PAL dependant. Refer

to your system installers documentation for details on how a gear change

operation is performed.

For details on programming spindle speeds, see chapter 17.

Important: When you activate, the MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTION

LOCK feature, the control displays M-, B-, S-, and T-words in the part

program and activates the corresponding Tool Wear Offset, with the

exception of M00, M01, M02, M30, M98, and M99. This feature is

activated as described on section 7.1.2.

Override spindle speeds designated in a program with the

switch on the MTB panel. This switch

can be positioned in five percent increments within a range of 50 - 120

percent. For details, refer to your system installers instruction manual.

Use the override cancel M-code (M49) to ignore any override set on the

MTB panel. When the override setting is ignored, the axis feedrate, rapid

feedrate, and the spindle speed values are all set to 100 percent. For more

information on spindle functions, see chapter 17.
