    Timer Operating Mode Parameterization This chapter describes possible parameterization in timer mode which you can use to adapt timer reactions to your task. The parameter data are divided into three parameter blocks. For the structure of the parameter blocks, see chapter 7.2.2. The descriptions of the individual parameter data include the number of the parameter block and the offset in the related structure.

    Timer Operating Mode Starting and Stopping the Timers After parameterizing the module, you can start and stop the individual timers of the CM35. To do this, write the start/stop block to the address ²module start address + 2.² Note The timer must be stopped with a stop command before it can be started again.

    Timer Operating Mode Controlling the Digital Outputs The status of the digital outputs is specified with the DO byte. 0: Switch off output 1: Switch on output Write the DO byte to the address ²module start address + 0.² Table 7-12 shows the allocation of the bits of the DO byte to the channels. Note Control of the digital outputs must be programmed with a word access.
  • Page 108 Timer Operating Mode Note When the digital outputs are controlled , the user program must ensure that active channels (timer running) are not affected. To prevent a just expired timer from being turned on again accidentally (or a running timer from being turned off) by control of the outputs, the outputs should not be controlled unless all timers have expired or have been stopped.

    Positioning Operating mode Function Description In this operating mode, the CM35 supports controlled positioning with a switch- - off point. An incremental encoder is connected to acquire the position. The encoder pulses are acquired by the module with the correct sign in the traversing range from –2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647.

  • Page 127 Positioning Operating mode Controlling the Digital Outputs The user program can control the digital outputs of the CM35 (e.g., to set up or synchronize an axis). The user program must ensure that the direct access does not cause uninten- tional movements or accidentally terminate running movements. The firmware prevents forward movement and backward movement from being switched on at the same time.
  • Page 128 Positioning Operating mode Note When controlling the digital outputs, the user program must ensure that ac- tive axes (positioning running) are not disturbed. To prevent a just finished positioning procedure from being turned on again accidentally (or a running positioning procedure from being turned off) due to output control, the outputs should only be controlled when all positioning procedures have been finished or stopped.
  • Page 129 Positioning Operating mode Hardware Interrupt Evaluation In positioning mode, the CM35 can trigger a hardware interrupt when a set- point position is reached. If this is used, the CPU must have a hardware inter- rupt OB (OB 40). The start information of OB 40: - - Variable OB40_MDL_ADDR contains the base address of the module which triggered the interrupt.
  • Page 130 Positioning Operating mode Reading the Actual Positions In positioning mode, you can read the current actual positions from the CM35. To ensure data consistency, the read- - access must be performed with one load command (L PID). Table 8-8 shows the addresses of the individual axes for reading the actual position.
