32. STATUS OUTPUT
NC FUNCTION
433
The high–speed position switch function obtains the current position of
an arbitrary controlled axis from the machine coordinates and the
feedback data from the position detector and outputs a signal if the current
position is within a certain range. This function uses a shorter monitoring
period than that of the ordinary position switch, enabling faster and more
accurate monitoring.
Up to 16 high–speed position switch signals can be output.
This function monitors the machine coordinates and operation direction
for an arbitrary controlled axis and turns the high–speed position switch
signal output on and off. There are two positions of which machine
coordinates are to be monitored. When the tool passes the coordinates of
one of the two positions in a specified direction, the signal goes on; when
the tool passes the coordinates of the other position in a specified
direction, the signal goes off. These coordinates and directions are set
with parameters.
