12.7.3 M code output function
The "M code output function" is used to command sub work (clamping, drill rotation,
tool replacement, etc.) related to the positioning data being executed.
When the M code ON signal (X4, X5, X6, X7) is turned ON during positioning
execution, a No. called the M code is stored in "
Md.25
Valid M code".
These "
Md.25
Valid M code" are read from the PLC CPU, and used to command
auxiliary work. M codes can be set for each positioning data. (Set in setting item
"
Da.10
M code" of the positioning data.)
The timing for outputting (storing) the M codes can also be set in the "M code output
function".
The details shown below explain about the "M code output function".

[1] M code ON signal output timing
The timing for outputting (storing) the M codes can be set in the "M code output
function". (The M code is stored in "
Md.25
Valid M code" when the M code ON
signal is turned ON.)
The following shows the two types of timing for outputting M codes: the "WITH"
mode and the "AFTER" mode.
(1) WITH mode
The M code ON signal (X4, X5, X6, X7) is turned ON at the positioning
start, and the M code is stored in "
Md.25
Valid M code".
