NAME
iov2 - interacts with HAL or G-code in non-realtime
SYNOPSIS
[EMCIO]
EMCIO = iov2
DESCRIPTION
I/O control
handles I/O tasks like coolant, toolchange, E-stop and lube.
The signals are turned on and off in non-realtime with
G-code or in the case of E-stop in HAL.
I/O Control V2 (iov2) adds more toolchager support for
communication with the toolchanger.
Whether io or iov2 is used can be chosen in the [EMCIO] section of the INI file.
Pins
Basic pins
iocontrol.0.coolant-flood
(Bit, Out) TRUE when flood coolant is requested.
iocontrol.0.coolant-mist
(Bit, Out) TRUE when mist coolant is requested.
iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
(Bit, In) Should be driven FALSE when an external estop condition exists.
iocontrol.0.lube
(Bit, Out) TRUE when lube is requested. This pin gets driven True when the controller comes out of E-stop, and when the "Lube On" command gets sent to the controller. It gets driven False when the controller goes into E-stop, and when the "Lube Off" command gets sent to the controller.
iocontrol.0.lube_level
(Bit, In) Should be driven FALSE when lubrication tank is empty.
iocontrol.0.tool-change
(Bit, Out) TRUE when a tool change is requested.
iocontrol.0.tool-changed
(Bit, In) Should be driven TRUE when a tool change is completed.
iocontrol.0.tool-number
(s32, Out) Current tool number.
iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number
(s32, Out) The number of the next tool, from the RS274NGC T-word.
iocontrol.0.tool-prep-pocket
(s32, Out) This is the pocket number (location in the tool storage mechanism) of the tool requested by the most recent T-word.
iocontrol.0.tool-prepare
(Bit, Out) TRUE when a Tn tool prepare is requested.
iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
(Bit, In) Should be driven TRUE when a tool prepare is completed.
iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
(Bit, Out) FALSE when an internal estop condition exists.
iocontrol.0.user-request-enable
(Bit, Out) TRUE when the user has requested that estop be cleared.
Additional
IO v2 pins
iocontrol.0.emc-abort (BIT,OUT) Signals emc-originated abort
to toolchanger.
iocontrol.0.emc-abort-ack
(BIT,IN) Acknowledge line from toolchanger for previous signal, or jumpered to abort-tool-change if not used in toolchanger. NB: after signaling an emc-abort, iov2 will block until emc-abort-ack is raised.
iocontrol.0.emc-reason
(S32,OUT) Convey cause for EMC-originated abort to toolchanger. Usage: UI informational. Valid during emc-abort True.
iocontrol.0.start-change
(BIT,OUT) Asserted at the very beginning of an M6 operation, before any spindle-off, quill-up, or move-to-toolchange-position operations are executed.
iocontrol.0.start-change-ack
(BIT,IN) Acknowledgment line for start-change.
iocontrol.0.toolchanger-fault
(BIT,IN) Toolchanger signals fault. This line is contionuously monitored. A fault toggles a flag in iocontrol which is reflected in the toolchanger-faulted pin.
iocontrol.0.toolchanger-fault-ack
(BIT,OUT) Handshake line for above signal. Will be set by iov2 after above fault line True is recognized and deasserted when toolchanger-fault drops. Toolchanger is free to interpret the ack; reading the -ack lines assures fault has been received and acted upon.
iocontrol.0.toolchanger-reason
(S32,IN) Convey reason code for toolchanger-originated fault to iov2. Usage
iocontrol.0.toolchanger-faulted
(BIT,OUT) Signals toolchanger-notify line has toggled and toolchanger-reason-code was in the fault range. Next M6 will abort.
iocontrol.0.toolchanger-clear-fault
(BIT,IN) Resets TC fault condition. Deasserts toolchanger-faulted if toolchanger-notify is line False. Usage: UI - e.g. clear fault condition button.
iocontrol.0.state
(S32,OUT) Debugging pin reflecting internal state.
