makes a transition.
(b)
SAMPLING/ RESOLUTION
The resolution of sampling is inputted. The default value is the minimum sampling resolution (msec),
which varies depending on the CNC.
Setting range: Minimum sampling resolution to 1000 (msec)
An input value is rounded off to a multiple of the minimum sampling resolution (msec) which is
closest to but not greater than the input value.
(c)
SAMPLING/ TIME
This parameter is displayed when "TIME CYCLE" is set on "SAMPLING/ MODE". The execution
time of trace is inputted. The value of "SAMPLING/ RESOLUTION" or the number of specified
signal address changes the range of the value that is able to input. The range is displayed on the right
side.
(d)
SAMPLING/ FRAME
This parameter is displayed when "SIGNAL TRANSITION" is set on SAMPLING/ MODE". The
number of sampling is inputted. The value of "SAMPLING/ RESOLUTION" or the number of
specified signal addresses changes the range of the value that is able to input. The range is displayed
on the right side.
(e)
STOP CONDITION
Determines the condition to stop the trace.
•
NONE: Does not stop the tracing automatically.
•
BUFFER FULL: Stops the tracing when the buffer becomes full.
•
TRIGGER:
Stops the tracing by trigger.
(f)

Stops the tracing automatically by rising up of the trigger signal.
•
FALLING EDGE:
Stops the tracing automatically by falling down of the trigger signal.
•
BOTH EDGE:
Stops the tracing automatically by rising up or falling down of the trigger
signal.
(h) STOP CONDITION/ TRIGGER/ POSITION
When "TRIGGER" is set on "STOP CONDITION", this parameter is enabled. Input the ratio of the
sampling time or number which specifies the position where specified trigger condition is on. If you
would like to examine the transitions of the signal before the trigger condition, you should set a big
value in this parameter. If you would like to examine the transitions of the signal after the trigger
condition, you should set a small value in this parameter.
Example: The case that sampling time is 10 seconds and trigger position is set as "10%".

(a) Setting addresses
In case of inputting discrete bit addresses, any bit address can be inputted.
Moreover, when you input byte address, all bits of the address (bits 0 to 7) are set automatically.
Maximum 32 points of signal address can be inputted.
With the multi-PMC system, an address can be set for a desired PMC by specifying its PMC
number.
Example: 2:R9200.1 + Input key
A setting can be made by entering "PMC number" + ":" + "address" as indicated above.
In case of DCSPMC, enter "S:"+"address".
When no PMC number is specified, the specification of the currently selected PMC is assumed. In
this case, "PMC number" + ":" is automatically prefixed to a specified address.
When only one PMC is used as in the standard PMC system, no PMC number needs to be specified.
NOTE
1 For the PMC numbers, see Section 7.2.
2 If there is not “:” key on your keyboard, use “;” or “/” instead.
3 Increasing the number of the signal address changes the capacity of
"SAMPLING/ TIME" or "SAMPLING/ FRAME" in page 1. If the capacity is
changed, the following warning message is displayed. (The "n" on the message
means the maximum value that is able to input.)
a) In case of "TIME CYCLE" mode
"SAMPLING TIME IS REDUCED TO n SEC."
b) In case of "SIGNAL TRANSITION" mode
"SAMPLING FRAME IS REDUCED TO n."
4 The signal trace for the DCSPMC is executed in the same timing as signals of
1st to 5th paths PMC.
CAUTION
The signal trace of the DCSPMC does not synchronize with the ladder execution
period of the DCSPMC. Therefore, when plural signals are traced, the timing of
tracing may not be accurate.

CAUTION
1 You can edit ladder programs regardless of whether they are active or not. To
execute a ladder program with the results of editing being reflected, you must
update the ladder program. To do this, click the soft key [UPDATE], or update the
program when exiting from the LADDER DIAGRAM EDITOR screen. For details
of the method of protecting editing, see
“PMC PROGRAMMING MANUAL
(B-64513EN).”
2 After you have edited a sequence program, the results of editing will be lost if the
power is turned off without first writing the edited sequence program to flash
ROM.
Write the sequence program to flash ROM on the I/O screen. If you set "WRITE
TO F-ROM(EDIT)" to "YES" on the general functions' setting parameter screen, a
confirmation message will be displayed, prompting you to ask whether to write a
sequence program to flash ROM after the end of editing. For details of this
setting, see “PMC PROGRAMMING MANUAL (B-64513EN).”
(1) Screen structures
(a) It is basically same with LADDER DIAGRAM MONITOR screen, except that no monitor
displays of relays and parameters of functional instructions are displayed.
(b) At right side of LADDER Diagram area, a position bar is always displayed, which indicates
screen position within current subprogram: in LADDER DIAGRAM MONITOR screen, this
position bar is exclusively displayed with comments of write coil. Sometimes, this position bar
hides a part of write coil comments.
(2) LADDER Diagram
(a) Style of LADDER Diagram is basically same with LADDER DIAGRAM MONITOR screen,
except that functional instructions are drawn always in "COMPACT" format that has no
monitor displays.
(b) Cursor is shown always. And the net, which will be an object of following editing operations, is
emphasized in screen.

NOTE
Each PMC of a multi-path PMC system has an independent signal area. The F,
G, X, and Y signal addresses of each PMC begin with 0. On the other hand, the
F and G signal addresses from the viewpoint of the CNC are fixed for each path
number. Note that the F and G signal addresses used in programming of each
ladder are different from those from the viewpoint of the CNC.

In X addresses in the table, the emergency stop signal for each signal is
*ESP<X008.4>, *ESP<X008.0>, and *ESP<X008.1>, respectively.
2
For multi-path control, one of the following superscripts is attached to the top
right of a symbol depending on the signal type.
- Path type (for path 1 on PMC side) : #1
- Path type (for path 2 on PMC side) : #2
- Path type (for path 3 on PMC side) : #3
In addition, #1, #2 or #3 attached to a signal indicates the signal is provided only
for path 1, 2, or 3 on PMC side, respectively.
- Path type
: #P
- Controlled axis type
: #SV
- Spindle type
: #SP
In G and F addresses in the table, #P, #SV, or #SP attached to a signal
indicates the signal is provided for each path on CNC side, each control axis on
CNC side, or each spindle on CNC side, respectively.
- PMC axis control group type: #PX
#PX attached to a signal indicates the signal is provided for each PMC axis
control group.
3
For the signals, a single data number is assigned to 8 bits. Each bit has a
different meaning.
4
The letter "n" in each address representation indicates the address position used
in each path on the CNC side, as shown below.
1st path : n=0 (No. 0 to 999)
2nd path : n=1 (No. 1000 to 1999)
:
:
10th path : n=9 (No. 9000 to 9999)
5
For a signal of controlled axis type, when the number of axes exceeds eight for
each path, set parameter No. 3021 to address this situation.
6
For a signal of spindle type, when the number of axes exceeds four for each
path, set parameter No. 3022 to address this situation.
