switch the screen display to the trace parameter setting screen.

By setting the PMC setting screen, the trace function can be automatically started after the power is

turned on. In this case as well, the trace parameters must be set beforehand.

6.4.10 Setting of Trace Parameter ([TRCPRM] Screen)

On the trace parameter setting screen, a sampling condition can be set. The screen consists of two pages.

Use the page keys to switch between the pages.

Trace parameter setting screen (first page)

(a)

SAMPLING/ MODE

Determines the sampling mode.

•

TIME CYCLE

: Samples at every specified cycle time.

•

SIGNAL TRANSITION

: Monitors the signal at a set cycle and samples when the signal

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)

STOP CONDITION/ TRIGGER/ ADDRESS

When "TRIGGER" is set on "STOP CONDITION", this parameter is enabled. Input signal address

or symbol name as stop trigger.

- 228 -

B-64305EN/03

6.INTERFACE BETWEEN CNC AND PMC

(g) STOP CONDITION/ TRIGGER/ MODE

When "TRIGGER" is set on "STOP CONDITION", this parameter is enabled. Determine the trigger

mode when the trace is stopped.

•

RISING EDGE

: 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%".

Trigger position

← 1 sec →←

9 sec

→

(i)

SAMPLING CONDITION

When "SIGNAL TRANSITION" is set on "TRACE MODE", this parameter is enabled.

Determine the sampling condition.

•

TRIGGER

: Samples the status of specified signals when the specified sampling

condition is on.

•

ANY CHANGE

: Samples the status of specified signals when the signals change.

(j)

SAMPLING CONDITION/ TRIGGER/ ADDRESS

When "SIGNAL TRANSITION" is set on "TRACE MODE", and "TRIGGER" is set on

"SAMPLING CONDITION", this parameter is enabled. Input signal address or symbol name as

sampling trigger.

(k) SAMPLING CONDITION/ TRIGGER/ MODE

When "SIGNAL TRANSITION" is set on "TRACE MODE", and "TRIGGER" is set on

"SAMPLING CONDITION", this parameter is enabled. Input trigger mode that determines the

condition of specified trigger.

•

RISING EDGE

: Samples the status of specified signals by rising up of the trigger signal.

•

FALLING EDGE : Samples the status of specified signals by falling down of the trigger

signal.

•

BOTH EDGE

: Samples the status of specified signals by rising up or falling down of the

trigger signal.

•

: Samples the status of specified signals during the trigger signal is on.

•

OFF

: Samples the status of specified signals during the trigger signal is off.

TRACE PARAMETER SETTING screen (page 2)

In page 2 of the PARAMETER SETTING screen, you can set the addresses or symbols that should be

sampled.

Trace parameter setting screen (second page)

(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.

NOTE

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."

(b) Soft keys

Soft keys on the setting screen of sampling address are as follows

•

[DELETE]

: Clears the value of the edit box on the cursor.

•

[SYMBOL]/[ADRS] : Changes the address display to the symbol display. However, display of

the address that is not defined the symbol does not change. This soft

key also changes to "ADDRESS". The following soft keys are

displayed.

•

[MV.UP]

: Exchanges the signal indicated the cursor for the signal above one line.

•

[MV.DWN]

: Exchanges the signal indicated the cursor for the signal below one line.

•

[DELALL]

: Clears all of the value of the edit box.

6.INTERFACE BETWEEN CNC AND PMC

When "SIGNAL TRANSITION" is set on "TRACE MODE" and "ANY CHANGE" is set on

"SAMPLING CONDITION", it can be set whether to use the setting address as the signals that

should trigger the sampling in the setting signals. As for the signal address where the trigger was set,

"9 " is displayed right. Soft keys on the Trigger setting screen are as follows:

•

TRGON : Sets the Trigger on.

•

TRGOFF : Sets the Trigger off.

of display. The "MARK POSITION" that shows the position of the mark cursor and "RANGE" that

shows the range between the mark cursor and the current position cursor are displayed in the upper

of screen.

Moving the current position cursor changes these values. Pressing [MARK] again releases the select

range mode.

above. Pressing [MV.DWN] soft key exchanges the signal indicated by the signal cursor for the

signal one line below. The result of the operation is cancelled by the execution of trace or putting the

power off. When you would like to preserve the order of displayed signals against the executing or

powering off, please change the order on "SAMPLING ADDRESS" screen.
