Spindle Speed control for DAC

SPN.plc
#define command     var00
#define parameter   var01
//set Spindle speed control via DAC channel #1
//Spindle Speed is given in **eparam** register
 
main()
{
  value=eparam;
  if (value>0xFFF) {value=0xFFF;};      
  //fix if given value is out of range 0...0xfff
  if (value<0) {value=0;};
 
  dac01=value;   //setup DAC value
 
 
  //**Set Spindle Speed** is asynchronous operation. 
  //It's better to inform myCNC Software New Spindle Speed applied.
  //Send information about new Spindle Speed to myCNC Software
  message=PLCCMD_REPLY_TO_MYCNC;                   
  //Command code to send to myCNC software
  command=PLC_MESSAGE_SPINDLE_SPEED_CHANGED;       
  //Message code
  parameter=eparam;     //New Spindle Speed information
  timeout=timer+10; do { timer++; } while (timer<timeout); 
  //Delay to push the Message to myCNC Software
 
  gvarset(7371,eparam);           
  //myCNC register #7371 contains actual Spindle Speed. 
  //Another way to inform myCNC software about new Spindle Speed 
  //(to display on it DRO for example)
 
  exit(99);  //normal exit.
};

Spindle Control through Triggers

In this case, a couple of lines are added to standard M03 (spindle ON), M05 (spindle OFF) and M02 (End program) PLCs, typically to allow the system to interpret some spindle feedback signal. Spindle control is done through a trigger, with the trigger flag indicating whether the trigger is ON or OFF. If the spindle is ON and the trigger is activated, then the program will be stopped.

The following code can be used to enable the trigger:

  message=PLCCMD_TRIGGER1_ON;
  timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);

The following code can be used to disable the trigger:

  message=PLCCMD_TRIGGER1_OFF;
  timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);

The code to enable the trigger should be inserted into M03, while the code to disable the trigger should be inserted into M05 and M02. The full resultant PLC procedure code can be found below:

Click to expand the M03 code

Click to expand the M05 code

Click to expand the M02 code

The trigger itself can be set up in Settings > Config > Inputs/Outputs/Sensors > Triggers/Timers to look the following way:

  • Input Number can be set to the port which the spindle feedback signal is using (#8 in this case)
  • Trigger will be set to Rising Edge
  • Output set to Not Connected
  • Slot set to Stop Program

Spindle Speed control for ET10_DAC

SPN.plc
#define command     var00
#define parameter   var01
//set Spindle speed control via ET10 DAC channel #1
//Spindle Speed is given in **eparam** register
 
main()
{
  command=0x32; 
  //EXT_ET10_DAC_OFFSET; set ADC offset register address
  parameter=0x800-(eparam/2)+(1<<12);
  //0x800 - is the middle of 12bits range - represents 0V
  //Eparam contains 12bits DAC value in 0V range, ET10 DAC setup in +10V...-10V range, so need to /2
  //Encoder channel number is given in high 12 bits of 16bit word.
 
  message=PLCCMD_SET_CNC_EXTVAR;    
  //setup Message register with command for access to [[External CNC Variables]]
  texit=timer+2;do{timer++;}while(timer<texit);
  //2ms delay to push the command from PLC to myCNC Core
 
 
  //**Set Spindle Speed** is asynchronous operation. 
  //It's better to inform myCNC Software New Spindle Speed applied.
  //Send information about new Spindle Speed to myCNC Software
  message=PLCCMD_REPLY_TO_MYCNC;                   //Command code to send to myCNC software
  command=PLC_MESSAGE_SPINDLE_SPEED_CHANGED;       //Message code
  parameter=eparam;                                //New Spindle Speed information
  timeout=timer+10; do { timer++; } while (timer<timeout); //Delay to push the Message to myCNC Software
 
  gvarset(7371,eparam);           
  //myCNC register #7371 contains actual Spindle Speed. 
  //Another way to inform myCNC software about new Spindle Speed (to display on it DRO for example)
 
 
exit(99);  //normal exit.
};

M03, Spindle On, Relay and ET10 DAC

M03.plc
//Turn on Spindle clockwise
//set Spindle speed control ET10 DAC channel #2
#include pins.h  //defines for pins numbers
#include vars.h  //defines for variable names
 
main()
{
  timer=0;
  value=eparam;
 
  command=0x32;//EXT_ET5_DAC_OFFSET
  parameter=0x800-(eparam/2)+(2<<12);//channel #2
  message=PLCCMD_SET_CNC_EXTVAR;
  texit=timer+2;do{timer++;}while(timer<texit);
 
  portclr(OUTPUT_CCW_SPINDLE);
  portset(OUTPUT_SPINDLE);
 
 
  gvarset(7370,1);         
  //Global Register #7370 shown actual Spindle state (0=OFF, 1=ON).
  //Set Register value when Spindle is ON
  gvarset(7371,eparam);    
  //myCNC register #7371 contains actual Spindle Speed. 
  //Another way to inform myCNC software about new Spindle Speed (to display on it DRO for example)
 
 
  //**Set Spindle Speed** is asynchronous operation. 
  //It's better to inform myCNC Software New Spindle Speed applied.
  //Send information about new Spindle Speed to myCNC Software
  message=PLCCMD_REPLY_TO_MYCNC;                   //Command code to send to myCNC software
  command=PLC_MESSAGE_SPINDLE_SPEED_CHANGED;       //Message code
  parameter=eparam;                                //New Spindle Speed information
  timeout=timer+10; do { timer++; } while (timer<timeout); //Delay to push the Message to myCNC Software
 
 
 
  //Wait till Spindle Rotation Speed comes to good values before next motion started
  timeout=timeout_on_delay+timer;
  do{timer++;}while (timer<timeout);               //delay for Spindle reach given speed
 
  exit(99);                                        //normal exit.
};

Water Fill and Drain control

Procedure M240 is used in some plasma cutting machines to control Water Table Fill & Drain.

Running procedure with parameter “1” toggles Water Filling, running with parameter “0” toggles Water Draining. If try to ON both Fill & Drain, the procedure will turn off the previous relay to prevent conflicts.

M240.plc
#define OUTPUT_FILL		13
#define OUTPUT_DRAIN		12
 
main()
{
  o=gvarget(7184);	//read OUTPUT PORT 0 state (pins 0...31)
  drain_state=o&(1<<OUTPUT_DRAIN);
  fill_state=o&(1<<13);
 
  if (eparam==0) //toggle drain
  {
   if (drain_state==0)
   {
	portset(OUTPUT_DRAIN);
	portclr(OUTPUT_FILL);	//to prevent both are open
   }else
   {
	portclr(OUTPUT_DRAIN);
   };
  }else //toggle fill
  {
   if (fill_state==0)
   {
	portset(OUTPUT_FILL);
	portclr(OUTPUT_DRAIN);	//to prevent both are open
   }else
   {
	portclr(OUTPUT_FILL);
   };
  };
exit(99);
};

Eliminating tangential knife spin at the start of the program (M212)

Because of how the system records angles, the software shows angles larger than 360 degrees (one full revolution) if a number of turns in the same direction have been taken by the knife. For example, if the knife has turned around its axis from 0 degrees twice in the positive direction, the angle now will be recorded as 720 degrees (2 full revolutions). After the program completes, and the angle is left at this number, the next time the program starts, the knife will rotate back until the angle is equal to zero. This behaviour is not ideal for some users, as it can extend the cutting process time.

The M212 PLC exists to remove this positive/negative degree turn that is larger than 360 degrees at the program start. This is useful if the user wants to stop the knife from spinning back multiple times to its 0 position on the c-axis as the program is starting (however, this will still allow the knife to rotate an angle less than a full revolution in order to align itself properly).

This PLC is provided with the myCNC software, and looks as follows:

main()
{
 c=gvarget(17006); //get C-position in PLC units (0.01 degree)

 m=18000; //180 degree in PLC units (0.01 degree)
 if (c>m)
 {
  do{ c=c-36000; }while (c>m); //remove the whole positive turns 
 };

 m=0-m; //-180 degree in PLC units (0.01 degree)
 if (c<m)
 {
   do{ c=c+36000; }while (c<m); //remove the whole negative turns 
 };

 gvarset(7080,1000); //set speed 3000 degree/s;
 timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);
 g0moveA(0x0,0x20,0-c); //C axis, move to C=0
 timer=200;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);
 do { code=gvarget(6060); }while(code!=0x4d);//wait till motion finished

 timer=100;do{timer--;}while(timer>0); //delay for any case

 exit(99);
};

This PLC can be added to the DXF footer in Settings > Config > DXF Import Settings to run every time when the program generated from an imported DXF file finishes running.
