NUM AXIUM Commands

NUM Axium Control Driver offers several commands to control and manage the CNC devices.

danger

These commands can cause unwanted behavior on the CNC machine. The PLC is overwritten when sending these commands! Caution when doing so.

Cnc{c}.Cnc.writeParameter	Writes an E/L or PLC Parameter

Activate Program

Activates a program. There are two possibilities to activate a program:

• Activate a Program for an independent axis channel, then the NC channel is required.
• Activate a Program for common axis channels.

You must choose the option with the command address.

Argument	Description	Data Type
ProgramName	Program number to activate. Example: NUM File %123.0 equals program name "123.0"	System.String

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generate your own id>",
  "Name": "Activate Program",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Common.activateProgram",
  "Arguments": [
    {
      "Name": "ProgramName",
      "DataType": "System.String",
      "Type": "Input"
    }
  ]
}

resetCnc

Resets the Cnc. There are two possibilities to reset the Cnc:

• Reset Cnc for an independent axis channel, then the NC channel is required.
• Reset Cnc for common axis channels.

You must choose the option with the command address. This function does not require any arguments.

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generate your own id>",
  "Name": "Reset Cnc ",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Common.resetCnc",
  "Arguments": []
}

startCnc

Starts the Cnc. There are two possibilities to start the Cnc:

• Start Cnc for an independent axis channel, then the NC channel is required.
• Start Cnc for common axis channels.

You must choose the option with the command address. This function does not require any arguments.

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generate your own id>",
  "Name": "Start Cnc ",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Common.startCnc",
  "Arguments": []
}

stopCnc

Stops the Cnc. There are two possibilities to stop the Cnc:

• Stop Cnc for an independent axis channel, then the NC channel is required.
• Stop Cnc for common axis channels.

You must choose the option with the command address. This function does not require any arguments.

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generate your own id>",
  "Name": "Stop Cnc ",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Common.stopCnc",
  "Arguments": []
}

writeCncMode

Writes the Cnc mode. There are two possibilities to write the Cnc mode:

• Write Cnc mode for an independent axis channel, then the NC channel is required.
• Write Cnc mode for common axis channels.

You must choose the option with the command address.

Argument	Description	Data Type
CncMode	Cnc mode to activate. See Dynamic information.	System.Int32

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generate your own id>",
  "Name": "Select Cnc mode",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Common.writeCncMode",
  "Arguments": [
    {
      "Name": "CncMode",
      "DataType": "System.Int32",
      "Type": "Input"
    }
  ]
}

writeEParameter

Writes an E Parameter.

caution

Be careful when writing E-Parameters. Some of these values contain relevant machine configuration data.

Argument	Description	Data Type
Address	E Parameter address in Format "Exxxxx"	System.String
Value	Value for this parameter	System.Double, System.Int32

Example:

{
  "Id": "<generaze your own id>",
  "Name": "Write E Parameter",
  "Type": "CommandNode",
  "Address": "Cnc0.Cnc.writeParameter",
  "Arguments": [
    {
      "Name": "Address",
      "DataType": "System.String",
      "Type": "Input"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Value",
      "DataType": "System.Int32",
      "Type": "Input",
      "MinMaxConstraint": {
        "MinValue": 0,
        "MaxValue": 32000
      }
    }
  ]
}

writePLCParameter

Writes a PLC Parameter.

caution

Be careful when writing PLC-Parameters. Some of these values contain relevant runtime data.

Argument	Description	Data Type
Address	PLC Parameter address in Format "Yxxxxx" **	System.String
Value	Value for this parameter (define limits for the specified data type manually)	System.Double, System.UInt32, System.Boolean

Address Format: **

Y can be:

• I = PLC Input-Var
• Q = PLC Output-Var
• W = PLC write MEM-Var
• M = PLC write MEM-Var

Address must be written like this:

{Type + AddressOffset + DataFormat}

Available data formats are:

Format	Example	Description
Boolean (0..7)	M0.0	Write the first Bit of Address M0
Byte (.B)	M0.B	Write the first Byte (8 Bits) of Address M0
Word (.W)	M0.W	Write the first Word (16 Bits) of Address M0

caution

Manipulating I or Q data can be dangerous, as it can impact the machines moving parts directly.
