Fig. 7.2 Operation Timing for the ON/OFF Mode (When the preset number of axes is 8 or less)
(2) Address mode
(a) In this mode, the clutch is turned ON and OFF in accordance with the clutch
ON/OFF command device and the current value of the virtual axis (effective
when the mode setting device is set to "1").
1) When the designated clutch ON address is reached while the clutch
ON/OFF command is ON, the clutch is set to the ON status.
2) When the designated OFF address is reached while the clutch ON/OFF
command is OFF, the clutch is set to the OFF status.
(b) The clutch ON/OFF control differs according to the type of output module
connected.
1) If the output module is a ball screw or roller, ON/OFF control is executed
in accordance with the current value of the virtual axis.
If a differential gear is connected to the main shaft, ON/OFF control is
executed in accordance with the current value after the main shaft's
differential gear.
2) If the output module is a rotary table or cam, ON/OFF control is based on
the virtual axis current value in one revolution.
(See Rotary Tables and Cams in "Output Modules" for details.)
