2Commissioning
2.1 Preparation before Commissioning
Before commissioning motion axes, adjust the emergency stop signal, hard limit and soft limit function to
prevent machine tool crash due to misuse in the commissioning process of other features; for details, please
refer to "NCT-XX Maintenance Manual": 8 Safe Operation;
2.1.1 Emergency Stop
Emergency stop button: Control Panel Reset; additional panel: STOP
External emergency stop port configuration: P5.058;
External emergency stop port effective level: P1.056;
2.1.2 Hard Limit
Hard limit port number: X-: 17, X +: 18, Y-: 19, Y-: 20
X hard limit effective level: P2.019;
Y hard limit effective level: P2.022;
2.1.3 Soft Limit
If the hard limit isn’t installed, soft limit must be set to protect the machine;
Related parameters: P1.021 - P1.024
0Note
Soft limit coordinates are based on mechanical coordinates;
2.2 Debugging Motion Axes (X/Y)
Basic functions commissioning of X, Y-axis and the drive;
X axis for example;
Given: the minimum resolution of the controller is 0.01mm; requires servo alarm function and alarm clear
function; please set the relevant parameters;
2.2.1 Drive Connections
Controller X-axis output port: XS1; for port definition, see "NCT-XX Maintenance Manual" 11.2.1 Control
Interface of Motor Drive;
11.3.3 Servo drive connection diagram;
0Note
Connect the cable of XS1; it is prohibited to short unused lines!
2.2.2 System Gear Ratio Setting
For the setting of system gear ratio, refer to "NCT-XX Maintenance Manual" 10.2 Comprehensive
Parameters (P1.) 001 ~ 008;

NCT-04/03/02 Punch CNC System (Commissioning Manual)
According to the requirement, the minimum resolution should be 0.01mm, and P1.001 X-axis command
multiplier is 1;
P1.002 X axis command division factor: 10
That is, if the system X axis coordinates change 10mm, the system will send 1000 pulses;
0Note
zWhen setting the gear ratio, consider the maximum speed and the drive's maximum acceptable pulse
frequency when the controller is running;
For example: a servo pulse port maximum acceptable pulse frequency is 200KHZ; controller's minimum
resolution is 0.001mm
The actual maximum operating speed of the servo is 12m/min; if the feed rate of the controller is set
greater than 12m/min, the motor will accelerate for a period of time and then stop;
zController maximum output pulse is 2MHz;
zController interpolation maximum output pulse is 500KHz;
2.2.3 Commissioning
After setting up the system and drive gear ratio, check if the gear ratio is set accurately in "metering"
approach;
The specific operation is as follows:
1) Press the button to switch to "step" mode;
2) Press /to switch single-step increment;
3) Manually press "X+", and measure whether the distance traveled by the machine is consistent with the set
single-step increment;
4) If not, reset the gear ratio;
0Note
Set the gear ratio of other axes in the same method;
2.3 Zero Point Switch Installation and Commissioning
Zero point detection port of X, Y, T, C axis: IN0-IN3;

Home speed setting: P1.048-P1.051;
Home acceleration setting: P2.067-P2.070;
2.4 Commissioning of Punch Related Signals
Punch signals, including clutch output, feed signal, single punch stopping top dead center, nibbling

NCT-04/03/02 Punch CNC System (Commissioning Manual)
stopping dead point;
2.4.1 Machine Main Drive CNC Punch
2.4.1.1 Parameter settings:
P1.085: Punch control: mechanical
P1.078: Punching mode: Continuous - distance
P5.014: Clutch output port
P1.081: Clutch pull-effective level <O>;
2.4.1.2 Shared by Feeding Signal and Stopping Top Dead Center Signal
Feeding signal port: P5.011,
Feeding signal level: P1.080,
0Note
Single punching stopping top dead center input port: P5.012 must be set to invalid and does not allow pin
assignment, or else the system cannot close the punch;
#Example
Example: Feeding signal port: IN (14), feeding effective level: 0
Feeding time is: moment that input pin level from 0 to 1;
That is: during input diagnostics, the red - green moment;
Off clutching time is same as above;
)Scope of Application
This control method can be applied in occasions with relatively low punch frequency;
Advantage: save cost, reduce the risk of damage when a plurality of switches is used;
Disadvantage: Switch mounting location should be considered, the feeding timing and stopping top dead
center position should be accurate;
2.4.1.3 Using Single Punch Stopping Top Dead Center
P5.011, Feeding signal port: P5.011,
Feeding signal level: P1.080,
Single punch stopping top dead center input port: P5.12;
Single punch effective level settings: P1.112;
0Note:
In this mode, you need to set “P5.013 Nibbling stopping top dead center input port” to invalid;
#Example
Example: P5.011: IN (14) P1.080: 0
P5.12: IN (15) P1.112: 0
Feeding time is: jump of pin 14 level from 0 to 1;
That is: during input diagnostics, the red - green moment;

NCT-04/03/02 Punch CNC System (Commissioning Manual)
Stopping top dead center time: jump of pin 15 level from 0 to 1;
2.4.1.4 Using Single Punch and Nibbling Stopping Top Dead Center Function
Since the single punching and continuous punching have different speed, the braking distances are also
different,
If the continuous punching clutch is off and continue to use single punching signal to control, the punch
position will be different after stopping; therefore, a separate sensor switch should be added for continuous
punching
Feeding signal port: P5.011,
Feeding signal level: P1.080,
Single punching stopping top dead center input port: P5.12;
Single punching effective level setting: P1.112;
Nibbling stopping top dead center input port: P5.13;
Nibbling effective level setting: P1.112;
0Note:
In this mode, you must assign P5.13 port number; otherwise, nibbling stopping top dead
center signal is invalid;
#Example
Example: P5.011: IN (14) P1.080: 0
P5.012: IN (15) P1.112: 0
P5.013: IN (16) P1.112: 0
Feeding time is: moment of pin 14 level from 0 to 1;
That is: during input diagnostics, the red - green moment;
Stopping top dead center time: moment of pin 15, 16 level from 0 to 1;
2.4.1.5 Manual Punching Sensor Switch Position
P1.078 punching mode: Continuous - distance
Connect top dead center sensor switch (relevant parameters P 5.010, P1.079);
Connect the clutch output signal;
Set P1.124 manual punching times;
Manually press button to open the punch; the feeding signal, single punch stopping top dead
center, and nibbling stopping top dead center sensor switch position can be adjusted;
0Note:
If P1.124 Manual punching frequency is greater than 1, be sure to install the top dead center
sensor signal; otherwise the system cannot determine the number of punching.

NCT-04/03/02 Punch CNC System (Commissioning Manual)
2.4.1.6 Mechanical Punching Crank Switch Position Indication (double brake for example)
This is a mechanical punching running diagram, stopping top dead center and feeding zone
are schematic only, and the range of feeding prohibited area is smaller than shown. The position
of the brake pad depends on the clearance of the clutch and pressure.
Pay special attention that: the top dead center position is unique; when the punch is at the
highest point, the top dead center sensing block aligns with the top dead center switch.
