Execution channels
A permanent change is maintained after the end of the program, after a reset and on powerup.
The original configuration may be restored either by validating the general parameters
and restarting or by a part-program that undoes the changes.
It also restores the machine parameter settings if a checksum error occurs when powering up the CNC.
Main or master spindle of the channel.
It is the spindle that receives the commands when no specific spindle is mentioned. All the
actions directed to a spindle through the operator panel will be directed to the master spindle.
On CNC power-up and after a reset, it assumes as master spindle the first spindle defined
by the machine parameters of the channel (original master). If this spindle is parked or
"handed out" to another channel, it assumes as master spindle the next one defined by the
machine parameters and so on. If the channel does not have spindles of the original
configuration (the one defined by the machine parameters) because they are parked or
"handed out", it assumes as master spindle the first one of the current configuration that is
not parked.
In general, whenever a channel has a single spindle, it will be its master spindle. If a channel
has several spindles, at first the master spindle will be the one configured by machine
parameters. A new master spindle may be selected with the #MASTER instruction.
Tool magazine and tool change.
The CNC may have up to four different tool magazines. The number of magazines is
independent from the number of spindles and channels available. A magazine is not
associated with any particular channel or spindle; i.e. a magazine may be shared by several
channels and a channel can request tools from different magazines.
The only limitation will be the one imposed by the mechanics of the machine; in other words,
by the physical accessibility of the machine to the tool magazines.
All the magazines can carry out tool changes simultaneously. However, one magazine can
only be involved in a tool change process. If from one channel, one wishes to pick up or leave
a tool in a magazine already involved in a tool change, the tool manager will wait for the tool
change to be done before attending to the new request.
