Response of the Electronic gear at Power ON, RESET, mode change, block search
● No coupling is active after POWER ON.
● The status of active couplings is not affected by RESET or operating mode switchover.
● During block searches, commands for switching, deleting and defining the electronic gear
System variables of the electronic gear
By means of the electronic gear's system variables, the part program can determine the
current states of an EG axis grouping and react to them if required.
The system variables of the electronic gearbox are designated as follows:
$AA_EG_ ...
or
$VA_EG_ ...
