Control manual required information for point configuration
Before configuring a point, refer to the Parameter Manual for your CNC to determine the following information:
Is the CNC parameter a bit, byte,
word, longword (2-word) or real (4-word) parameter?
Does the CNC parameter contain
signed or unsigned data?
Does the CNC parameter have data
for every axis (an axis parameter), or
is there just a single value?
Restrictions for configuring points as parameters
When configuring points as parameters, be aware of the following restrictions:
Points cannot be configured as
array points for parameters.
The default behavior of the HMI
for CNC product is to check the Parameter Write Enable bit (the
"PWE" bit) before writing any parameter data. Thus, if the
Parameter Write Enable bit is not set, any setpoints for parameters
will fail. You can override the default behavior by forcing
CIMPLICITY software to ignore the Parameter Write Enabler bit .
In general, most CNC parameters
contain SIGNED data, so you should
use the equivalent signed point type (SINT, INT, or DINT).
Valid parameter addresses are
0 – 16,000.
Note: CIMPLICITY HSSB and Ethernet device points
for parameter data should be configured according to the
instructions in the appropriate CNC
Controller Parameter Manual.
