COOLNT - Cooling

Command caption

How the command appears in the CLData command list:

COOLNT ON(71)|OFF(72), N n

COOLNT command turns on or off the machine cooling systems. The first parameter specifies command type: activation or deactivation. The second parameter is the tube number which is affected by the COOLNT command.

Access from sppx

Handler: program Coolnt

Parameter CLD array CLD name Description
ON(71)
OFF(72)		 CLD[1] CLD.OnOff Command type: ON(71) – activate coolant, OFF(72) – deactivate coolant.
n CLD[2] CLD.N Coolant tube number: 1 – flood, 2 – mist, 3 – tool.

To create ISO postprocessor using masks use ISO.M values which correspond to parameters:

CLD parameter ISO value
CLD[1] = 71 ISO.M = 8
CLD[1] = 72 ISO.M = 9

Example (from the Fanuc (30i)_Mill postprocessor):

program CoolNt
  if cld[1] = 71 then begin
    if cld[2] = 1 then begin
      Mc = 8
    end else if cld[2] = 2 then begin
      Mc = 8
    end else if cld[2] = 3 then begin
      Mc = 8
    end else begin
      Mc = 8
    end
  end else begin
    Mc = 9     ! On/Off coolant
    OutBlock
  end
end

Access from .NET

Handler:

public override void OnCoolant(ICLDCoolantCommand cmd, CLDArray cld)

Inheritance: ICLDCoolantCommand : ICLDCommand.

Read the parameters from the strongly-typed cmd object (recommended); the raw cld[i] array (same indices as in sppx) and the named cmd["..."] helpers are available too. The table lists the command's members, including those inherited from its base interfaces; the common ICLDCommand members (navigation, CLD, CLDFile, TechOperation, ...) are described in the CLData access model.

Member Type Description
cmd.IsOn bool Returns "True" if it's a switch on command and you need to switch ON all tubes marked in the TubeIsOn[] list.
cmd.IsOff bool Returns "True" if it's a switch off command and you need to switch OFF all tubes marked in the TubeIsOn[] list.
cmd.TubeCount int Returns the count of tubes presented in the TubeIsOn[] list.
cmd.TubeIsOn ICLDCoolantTubeIndexer Allows you to determine whether or not to switch the state for the tube with a given index. The index must be between 0..31 (TubeCount-1).
cmd.FirstEnabledTube int Returns the index of the first tube to be switched, i.e. TubeIsOn[FirstEnabledTube]=true.

Example - OnCoolant (from the Fanuc (30i)_Mill_DN postprocessor):

public override void OnCoolant(ICLDCoolantCommand cmd, CLDArray cld)
{
    if (cmd.IsOn) {
        nc.MCoolant.v = 8;
    } else {
        nc.MCoolant.v = 9;
        nc.Block.Out();
    }
}
