Tightening machine as a PLC device

From PlcWiki

Revision as of 08:14, 14 March 2017

The most important properties of a tightening machine defined as a PLC device are its name and channelnumber. These two entries uniquely identify a tightening machine or its spidle.

channelnumber is a logical ID of single tightening spindle connected to a PLC client. It can be any non-zero positive integer as it's only purpose is to assign the tightening tool to appropriate operation. It has no other meaning.

Be aware to use channelnumber setting, not channel. channel is a deprecated setting with many side effects and should not be used anymore.

When a tightening machine has more than one spindle, this setting applies to the first of them. Other spindles' channelnumbers are assigned in sequential order. E.g. if this option is set to 3 and the machine has 2 spindles, then the first spindle has the channelnumber 3 and the second one has the channelnumber 4. The next usable channenumber value is 5.

.settings.channelnumber should match operation's .ChannelNumber value and the device name (i.e. tmachine_1) should match operation's .Device value.
