Various interface signals (A2)
3.1
General
Brief description
This chapter describes the functionality of various interface signals which are of general relevance, but are not described in
the function-specific chapters.
Interfaces
The exchange of signals and data between the PLC user program and the NCK (numerical control kernel) or HMI (display
unit) is performed via various data areas. The PLC user program does not have to handle the exchange of data and signals.
From the user's point of view, this takes place automatically.
PLC/NCK interface:
Cyclic signal exchange
The control and status signals of the PLC/NCK interface are updated cyclically.
The signals can be subdivided into the following groups (see previous figure):
●General signals
●Operating mode signals
●Channel signals
●Axis/spindle signals
Notes on the PLC interface signal address representation
Currently, PLC interface signal addresses are represented by the V structure on the HMI while the manual shows them by
the DB structure.

Access authorization
Access authorization
Access to programs, data, and functions is user-oriented and controlled via protection levels. The control system provides a
concept of access levels for enabling data areas. You can view such information from the table below:
Access level
Default password
Target group
Siemens (level 0)
-
Reserved for Siemens
Manufacturer (level 1) SUNRISE Machine manufacturers
End user (levels 3-6)
CUSTOMER
End users
No password (level 7)
-
End users
This provides a multi-level safety concept for controlling access rights.

3.2.2
General signals
Delete distance-to-go (DB3200.DBX6.2)
IS "Delete distance-to-go (channel specific)" is only active for path axes.
With the rising edge of the interface signal, the distances-to-go of all axes in the geometry grouping are deleted and thus
brought to a standstill with ramp stop. Then the next program block is started.
Axis/spindle disable (DB380x.DBX1.3)
IS "Axis/spindle disable" can be used for test purposes.
Axis disable (for axis):
If IS "Axis disable" is output - for this axis - no more position partial setpoints are output to the position controller; the axis
travel is therefore disabled. The position control loop remains closed and the remaining following error is reduced to zero. If
an axis is moved with axis disable the actual value position display shows the setpoint position and the actual velocity value
display shows the setpoint velocity even though the machine axis is not actually moving. IS "RESET" (DB3000.DBX0.7) sets
the position actual value display to the real actual value of the machine. Travel commands continue to be output to the PLC
for this axis. If the interface signal is cancelled again the associated axis can again traverse normally. If the interface signal
"Axis disable" is set for a traversing axis, the axis is stopped with a ramp stop.
Spindle disable (for spindle):
If IS "Spindle disable" is set, no more speed setpoints are output to the speed controller in openloop control mode and no
more position partial setpoints are output to the position controller in positioning mode. The movement of the spindle is thus
disabled. The speed actual value display displays the speed setpoint value. The spindle disable is cancelled via "Reset" or
program end (M2) and program restart. If interface signal "Spindle disable" is set while a spindle is turning, the spindle is
stopped according to its acceleration characteristic.

Function Manual
14 01/2017
Deactivation:
Cancellation of the "Axis/spindle disable" (edge change 1 →0) does not take effect until the axis/spindle is stationary (i.e. an
interpolation setpoint is no longer present). The new movement begins with new specified setpoints. (E.g. new program
block with movement specifications in "AUTO" operating mode.)
Note: actual values vary between simulated and real axis!
Follow-up mode (DB380x.DBX1.4)
If an axis/spindle is operating in follow-up mode, its setpoint position is made to track the current actual value position. The
position setpoint in follow-up mode is not defined by the interpolator but derived from the actual position value. Since
recording of the actual position value of the axis continues, it is not necessary to re-home the axis when follow-up mode is
cancelled.
Standstill, clamping and positioning monitoring are not effective in follow-up mode.
Effect:
The IS "Follow-up mode" is only of relevance if the drive controller enable has been removed (e.g. by IS "drive enable" = 0
signal or because of a fault in the control system), or because drive enable is being re-issued.
IS "Follow-up mode" = 1:
If "Drive enable" is removed the position setpoint of the relevant axis is continuously corrected to the actual value. This state
is signaled to the PLC by means of IS "Follow-up mode active" (DB390x.DBX1.3). If the "drive enable" is enabled again and
a part program is active, a control internal re-positioning operation is initiated (REPOSA: linear approach with all axes) to the
last programmed position. Otherwise, the axis movement starts at the new actual position (which may have changed).
IS "Follow-up mode" = 0:
If "Drive enable" is removed, the old position setpoint is maintained. If the axis is pushed out of position, a following error
between position setpoint and actual value results which is corrected when IS "drive enable" is set. The axis movement
starts from the setpoint position valid before the "drive enable" was removed. IS "Followup mode active" (DB390x.DBX1.3) is
set to 0 signal during the "Hold" state. Clamping or standstill monitoring is active.
Position measuring system 1 (DB380x.DBX1.5)
A position measuring system may be connected to the spindle. In this case the signal for the spindle has to be set.
Axes always require this signal. In this case, a position measuring system must be installed.
Drive enable (DB380x.DBX2.1)
When the drive enable is activated for the drive, the position control loop of the axis/spindle is closed. The axis/spindle is
then subject to position control.
When the drive enable is removed the position control loop and, with a delay, the speed control loop of the axis/spindle are
opened.
IS "Position controller active" (DB390x.DBX1.5) is set to 0 signal (checkback).
Activation:
The drive enable for the drive can be set and removed from the following places:
1. From the PLC user program with interface signal "Drive enable" (in normal cases)
Application: Removal of drive enable before clamping an axis/spindle.
2. The drive enable is cancelled internally by the control when certain faults occur in the machine, the drive, the position
measuring system or the control (when faults occur)
Application: The traversing axes must be brought to a standstill by a rapid stop due to a fault.
3. By the control if the following event occurs: IS "EMERGENCY STOP" (DB2600.DBX0.1) is active
Removal of drive enable
for a moving axis/spindle:
●The spindle is braked to standstill with rapid stop taking account of MD36610 AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME (duration
of the braking ramp in error states). Alarm 21612 "Controller enable reset during movement" is then triggered.
●The position control loop of the axis/spindle is opened. Checkback signal to PLC with IS "Position controller active"
(DB390x.DBX1.5) = 0 state. The timer for the drive enable delay time (MD36620 SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME
(shutdown delay of drive enable)) is also started.

Function Manual
01/2017 15
●As soon as the actual speed has reached the zero speed range, the drive controller enable is removed. Checkback
signal to PLC with IS "Speed controller active" (DB390x.DBX1.6) = 0 state. The drive enable of the drive is removed at
the latest after the time set in MD36620 SERVO_DISABLE_DELAY_TIME has expired.
●Notice: If the setting for the drive enable shutdown delay is too small the drive enable will be removed even though the
axis/spindle is still moving. The axis/spindle is then stopped abruptly with setpoint 0.
●The actual position value of the axis/spindle continues to be acquired by the control.
This axis/spindle state cannot be changed until after "Reset".
Interpolatory axis grouping:
All the axes traversing within the interpolatory axis grouping are stopped as soon as the drive enable signal is cancelled for
one
of the axes.
The axes are brought to a standstill as described above. All axes in the geometry grouping are brought to a standstill with
rapid stop. Alarm 21612 "Controller enable reset during movement" is also triggered. Continued processing of the NC
program after this event is no longer possible.
3.2.3
Signals for digital drives, to axis/spindle
Speed controller integrator disabled (DB380x.DBX4001.6)
The PLC user program inhibits the integrator of the speed controller for the drive. The speed controller is thus switched from
PI to P controller.
Pulse enable (DB380x.DBX4001.7)
The PLC user program enables the pulses for the axis/spindle. However, the pulse enable is only activated for the drive
module if all the enable signals are present.
3.3
Signals from NCK to PLC
3.3.1
General signals
Drives in cyclic operation (DB2700.DBX2.5)
The PLC is signaled via the NCK by means of a cyclical exchange of data that the available drives have reached ramp-up
status.
Drive ready (DB2700.DBX2.6)
The PLC is signaled via NCK that all available drives are ready to operate. IS "Drive Ready" (group signal) is active on all
axes and spindles.
NCK alarm is active (DB2700.DBX3.0)
The control sends this signal to the PLC to indicate that at least one NCK alarm is active. An enquiry can be made via the
channel-specific interface (DB3300.DBX4.7) as to whether a processing stop has been triggered.
Ambient temperature alarm (DB2700.DBX3.6)
The ambient temperature or fan monitoring function has responded.
NCK alarm channel-specific active (DB3300.DBX4.6)
The control system sends this signal to the PLC to indicate that at least one NCK alarm is active for the channel. To what
extent this may influence whether the current program run will be interrupted or aborted can be determined from IS "NCK
alarm with processing stop is active" (DB3300.DBX4.7).
External language mode active (DB3300.DBX4001.0)
The control system sends this signal to the PLC to indicate that the active program language used for the part program is not
a SIEMENS language. A language changeover has been made with G291.

Function Manual
16 01/2017
NCK alarm with processing stop present (DB3300.DBX4.7)
The control sends this signal to the PLC to indicate that at least one NCK alarm, which has interrupted or aborted the current
program run (processing stop), is active for the channel.
Follow-up active (DB390x.DBX1.3)
Follow-up mode for this axis is active.
See Section: Signals from PLC to NCK, follow-up mode (Page 13) (DB380x.DBX1.4)
Axis/spindle stationary (DB390x.DBX1.4)
The current velocity of the axis or actual speed of the spindle is within the range which is defined as standstill. This range is
defined with MD36060 STANDSTILL_VELO_TOL (maximum velocity/speed for signal "Axis/spindle stationary").
Position control active (DB390x.DBX1.5)
The position control loop for the axis/spindle is closed; the position control function is active.
For details, see Controller enable (Page 13).
Speed control active (DB390x.DBX1.6)
The speed control loop for the axis/spindle is closed; the speed control function is active.
For details, see Controller enable (Page 13).
Current control active (DB390x.DBX1.7)
The current control loop for the axis/spindle is closed; the current control function is active.
Lubrication pulse (DB390x.DBX1002.0)
The IS "Lubrication pulse" is sent by the NCK and
changes status
once the axis/spindle has traveled a greater distance than
that set in MD33050 LUBRICATION_DIST (travel distance for lubrication from PLC)
3.3.2
Signals for digital drives, from axis/spindle
Drive ready (DB390x.DBX4001.5)
Checkback signal indicating that the drive is ready. The conditions required for traversing the axis/spindle are fulfilled.
Integrator for n-controller disabled (DB390x.DBX4001.6)
The speed-controller integrator is disabled. The speed controller has thus been switched from PI to P controller.
Pulse enabled (DB390x.DBX4001.7)
The pulse enable for the drive module is available. The axis/spindle can now be traversed.
Ramp-up procedure completed (DB390x.DBX4002.2)
This signal confirms that the actual speed value has reached the new setpoint allowing for the tolerance band set in the drive.
The ramp-up procedure is thus completed. Any subsequent speed fluctuations due to load changes will not affect the
interface signal.
3.4
Signals from PLC to HMI
OP key disable (DB1900.DBX5000.2)
IS "OP key disable" can be applied to disable (1 signal) or enable (0 signal) the connected keyboard.
Program number (DB1700.DBB1000)
A declared program number is transferred from the PLC to HMI if an NC program is selected by the PLC. The current NC
program selected can be stored via the command interface (see DB1700.DBB1001) and also selected again.

Function Manual
01/2017 17
A program with the program name (STRING) is administered. In the assignment list, the names for a maximum of 255
programs can be declared and assigned.
The use of the numbers is divided into the protection areas of the programs:
●1 to 100: User area (end user protection level)
●101 to 200: Machine manufacturer (machine manufacturer protection level)
●201 to 255: SIEMENS (SIEMENS protection level)
"Program number" (DB1700.DBB1000) corresponds to the following IS:
●"Program has been selected" (DB1700.DBX2000.0)
●"Program selection error" (DB1700.DBX2000.1).
When a program number > 0 is written, the program selection is started by the PLC. As soon as the HMI detects a program
number > 0, it begins with the internal processing of this job and sets the program number (DB1700.DBB1000) to 0.
PLC waits until the acknowledgement signal from HMI is received: DB1700.DBX2000.0 or DB1700.DBX2000.1 and
evaluates this immediately. The acknowledge signals are available for one PLC cycle once they have been received and are
then automatically deleted by the PLC operating system.
Command (DB1700.DBB1001)
A command job is transferred from the PLC to the HMI.
Command
Action
0
None
1
Save name of the selected program
2
Select program with saved program name
"Command" (DB1700.DBB1001) corresponds to the following IS:
●"Execute command" (DB1700.DBX2001.0)
●"Command execution error" (DB1700.DBX2001.1)
When a command > 0 is written, the job is started by the PLC. As soon as the HMI detects a command > 0, it begins with
the internal processing of this job and sets the command (DB1700.DBB1001) to 0.
PLC waits until the acknowledgement signal has been reached by HMI: DB1700.DBX2001.0 or DB1700.DBX2001.1 and
evaluates this immediately. The acknowledgement signals are available for one PLC cycle once they have been received
and are then automatically deleted by the PLC operating system.
3.5
Signals from HMI to PLC
Program has been selected (DB1700.DBX2000.0)
Successful selection of the required NC program is signaled back from the HMI to the PLC. This signal is available for one
PLC cycle. It corresponds with DB1700.DBB1000.
Program selection error (DB1700.DBX2000.1)
Failed selection of the required NC program is signaled back from the HMI to the PLC. This signal is available for one PLC
cycle. It corresponds with DB1700.DBB1000.
Execute command (DB1700.DBX2001.0)
Successful execution of the required command is signaled back from the HMI to the PLC. This signal is available for one
PLC cycle. It corresponds with DB1700.DBB1001.
Command execution error (DB1700.DBX2001.1)
Failed execution of the required command is signaled back from the HMI to the PLC. This signal is available for one PLC
cycle. It corresponds with DB1700.DBB1001.

3.6.1
General (OF)
Communication jobs can be performed via the "NC services" PLC/NCK interface. The following services are available for
this:
●Start program invocation services (PI services) in the NCK area (e.g. asynchronous subroutine (ASUP))
●Read variables from the NCK area
●Write variables from the NCK area
The activation of the respective service is performed via the global part of the interface. The parameterization of the
individual services is described below.
Job, global part
Only one service can run at a time. The service is selected via DB1200.DBX0.1 and DB1200.DBX0.2:

Start:
A job is started by setting the signal DB1200.DBX0.0 = 1. A new job can only be started if the previous job has been
completed, i.e. the acknowledgement signals ("Job completed" DB1200.DBX2000.0 and "Error in job" DB1200.DBX2000.1)
must be zero.
The execution of a job may take several PLC cycles and vary depending on the utilization; thus, this function is not real-time-
capable.
Note
A job already started cannot be cancelled. If the "Start" signal is inadvertently reset before receiving the acknowledgement,
the result signals for this job are not refreshed; the job, however, is executed.
Job, global part
The results are written by the PLC operating system; therefore, these signals can only be written by the user.
If the job was completed without errors, the "Job completed" signal DB1200.DBX2000.0 is set to 1. If an error occurs while
executing a read/write job, the "error in job" signal DB1200.DBX2000.1 is set.
The result signals in DB1200.DBB2000 are global bits for the whole job. Possible error causes can be here, e.g.:
●Number of variables (DB1200.DBX1) outside of the valid range
●Variable index (DB1200.DBX1000) outside of the valid range
After evaluating the result, the "Start" signal (DB1200.DBX0.0) is reset by the user. The PLC operating system then resets
"Job completed" or "Error in job".

Explanations regarding the pulse diagram:
1. Starting of the job by setting "Start" ("Job completed" and "Error in job" must be reset)
2. Job completed without errors (the results of the individual variables must still be evaluated)
3. Resetting "Start" after receiving the result
4. Signal change by PLC operating system
5. If the "Start" signal is reset inadvertently before receiving the result, the output signals are not refreshed without influence
on the internal execution of the function triggered
6. Error in job

PI service ASUP
The PI service ASUP function means the execution of PLCASUP1.SPF or PLCASUP2.SPF called by the PLC. The control
system provides two default ASUPs for the PLC.
Initialization
You can also customize these two ASUPs by assigning the interrupt numbers 1 and 2 fixed program names from the PLC.
Prerequisite for this is the existence of the PLCASUP1_SPF or PLCASUP2_SPF programs in the CMA directory.
PI index
Function
DB1200.DBB4001 = 1 Assignment of Interrupt 1 to the CMA_DIR/PLCASUP1_SPF program.
The interrupt has Priority 1.
DB1200.DBB4001 = 2 Assignment of Interrupt 2 to the CMA_DIR/PLCASUP2_SPF program.
The interrupt has Priority 2.
The following must be taken into account during the initialization:
●The PI service ASUP requires executing only once after a restart and is then retained.
●An initialization may only be performed when the channel is not active.
●If a "Ramp-up" program event has been configured, the initialization may only be started after the end of the program
event.

Reading variables from the NCK area
1 to 8 values can be read with a read job (variable x: 0...7). There is a variable-specific part of the interface for this:
●Job: DB120x.DBB1000
●Result: DB120x.DBB3000
Job, variable-specific part
NC variable:
The NC variable is selected in the variable index (DB120x.DBB1000) (see Section "NC variable (Page 21)").
Area number, column / line index (DB120x.DBB1001 ... DB120x.DBB1005)
Various variables are declared as fields. For flexible addressing, the relevant field index must be specified as a column
and/or line index (e.g. R parameter no.).

Function Manual
20 01/2017
Values:
The range DB120x.DBB1008 ... 11 is not relevant for reading.
Result, variable-specific part
A result is reported for each variable in the job.
If the read process was successful, "Variable valid" (DB120x.DBX3000.0) is set to 1; the access result DB120x.DBB3001 is
0.
When reading, the data from DB120x.DBB3004 are entered type-specifically.
In case of error, DB120x.DBX3000.0 remains "0", and an entry is made in the access result DB120x.DBB3001:
●0: No error
●3: Illegal access to object
●5: Invalid address
●10: Object does not exist
Values:
When reading, the read data are in the range DB120x.DBB3004...7, in the data type specific for the respective variable (if
required, the values are converted from 64-bit to 32-bit REAL).
