Interpolation configuration
Entering interpolation parameters
Channel functions
Dimension
The Channel Function zone reports on the axes affected by interpolation.
The following example represents a 3 axis interpolation:
Channel functions
0 X 1 Y 2 3 I l l l l
Channel 0 is the X axis.
Channel 1 is the Y axis.
Channel 2 is the Z axis.
Channel 3 is the interpolation axis for X, Y and Z axes ( letter I).
The following example represents a 2 axis interpolation:
Channel functions
0 X 1 Y 2 Z 3 I
Channel 2 may be configured as an independent channel (a curve replaces the letter
Z in field 2). In this case, interpolation will only affect channels 0 and 1. Functions are displayed on the interpolation debugging screens.
The Dimensions field is used to set the number of interpolated axes :
Command
2 Axes
3 Axes
Description
Channels 0 and 1 are interpolated
Channels 0, 1 and 2 are interpolated
Stop Function This field is used to set the role of the STOP command in channel 3 (%Qxy.3.15):
Command
XMOVE
Auto mode
General
Description
The STOP command is only effective on an XMOVE which is in progress.
The STOP command is active in auto mode and affects all axes which can be interpolated, even if they are used independently.
The STOP command is active in all modes (eg Auto, Manu etc) and affects all axes which can be interpolated, even if they are used independently.
Note: It is advised to chose the XMOVE command as a default.

Event
Stop axes on fault
This field is used to select the event task associated with channel 3.
This field is used to define the effect of a blocking fault:
Command
Interpolated
All
Description
A blocking fault stops axes affected by the XMOVE command which is in progress.
A blocking fault stops all axes which can be interpolated, even if they are being used independently when the fault appears.
Note: It is advised to choose the Interpolated command as a default.
