SC Series Controllers
Configuration
Job or Task selection can come from multiple inputs at once, including the MFB. There is no priority, each one
is equal. The SC controller switches its active Job or Task with each input change. The last one to change
becomes the active Job or Task.
Spindle – Indicates to which spindle in the multi-spindle system this function applies.
Inputs
Description
DISABLE JOB
When asserted on any input bus, the controller disables the tool while this specific job is
selected. This acts like a STOP to stop the tool during use. Use the JOB parameter to select
the job to be disabled while this input is asserted.
When removed the tool will be allowed to run while this specific job is selected.
Size: 1 bit
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Job: Type the job number to select when this input is asserted.
Spindle: Type the spindle number in which the Job is to be disabled.
DISABLE TASK When asserted on any input bus, the tool is disabled while this specific task is selected. This
acts like a STOP to stop the tool during use. Use the Task parameter to select the disabled
task.
When removed, the tool will be allowed to run while this specific task is selected.
Size: 1 bit
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Task: Type the task number to disable when this input is asserted.
Spindle: Type the spindle number in which the Task is to be disabled.
DISABLE TOOL When asserted on any input bus, the controller prevents the tool from running. It does NOT
stop the tool if the tool is running, but prevents it from running when the next START signal is
applied. The START input can come from any bus or the tool trigger.
When removed the tool is allowed to run after the next START input.
Size: 1 bit
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Spindle: Type the spindle number for which the tool is to be disabled.
IGNORE
The input is not used. This is a placeholder. For fieldbus, the length of this input function may
be set to any size that meets the need.
JOB VERIFY
When asserted on any input bus, the controller verifies the selected job number is equal to this
input's job number. Use the JOB parameter to select the job number to verify. If the wrong job
is selected the tool is disabled.
When removed, verification will not happen.
Size: 1 bit
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
Job: Type the job number to verify when this input is asserted.
Spindle: Type the spindle number for which the job is to be verified.
JOB VERIFY
When asserted on any input bus, the controller verifies the selected and active job is equal to
BIT
this input's job. Use the BIT parameter to select the job number to verify. If there is a
mismatch between the active job number and this input's job number the tool is disabled. This
is one bit of a binary number created by many of these bits. See SELECT TASK BIT to
understand how to use bits to create binary numbers.
When removed verification will not happen.
Size: 1 bit, except on fieldbus where it can be any size to fit the need.
Contact Type: Normally Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.)
