5-7. List of Commands
10 SP
Function This makes the settings for rotating or stopping the spindle, and for spindle rotating speed.
Value ❶ Rotation or no rotation (ON: rotation, OFF: stopped)
Value ❷ Spindle rotating speed (80 to 300 x 100 rpm)
This rotates the spindle at the specified spindle rotating speed, or stops rotation of the spindle. Commands to move the
spindle, such as [MOVE-ZM] and [CUT-ZM], do not rotate or stop the spindle by themselves. You specify this with the
[SP] command. A setting of [80], for example, sets a spindle rotating speed of 8,000 rpm.
11 P
Function This controls the state of the output ports for expansion connector 2.
Value ❶ Output-port state (1: High, 0: Low, *: Maintain state)
This command changes the state of the output ports for expansion connector 2. There are eight output port (numbered 1
through 8), and this controls the state (high or low) of each one. [*] means no change in state -- that is, to leave high if
high, or to leave low if low.
When you turn on the machine, all output ports are at the low state. When you execute this command to set a certain port
high, the port is maintained in that state until you switch off the power. (The state does not revert to low even when
sequence execution ends.) If initialization of the port is required, it is useful to insert a command such as [11 P 00000000]
at the start or end of the sequence.
For information about the specifications of expansion connector 2, see p.143 "Expansion Connector 2."
12 WAIT
Function This stops sequence execution for the specified interval of time.
Value ❶ Wait time (0 to 10,000 ms)
This pauses sequence execution, waits for the specified time interval, then resumes execution. A setting of [3000], for
example, specifies a wait time of 3 seconds.
