==== PLC Examples ====

//**NOTE**: The myCNC team recommends utilizing the examples provided in this manual (as well as other manuals in this documentation) as a starting point for your machine setup. When possible (and applicable), it is recommended to keep changes to a mininum. In general, using these examples as the basis for your PLCs/macro commands allows for an easier setup process.//

=== Spindle Speed control for DAC ===
<code c SPN.plc>
#define command     var00
#define parameter   var01
//set Spindle speed control via DAC channel #1
//Spindle Speed is given in **eparam** register

main()
{
  value=eparam;
  if (value>0xFFF) {value=0xFFF;};      
  //fix if given value is out of range 0...0xfff
  if (value<0) {value=0;};

  dac01=value;   //setup DAC value


  //**Set Spindle Speed** is asynchronous operation. 
  //It's better to inform myCNC Software New Spindle Speed applied.

===Spindle Control through Triggers===

In this case, a couple of lines are added to standard M03 (spindle ON), M05 (spindle OFF) and M02 (End program) PLCs, typically to allow the system to interpret some spindle feedback signal. Spindle control is done through a trigger, with the trigger flag indicating whether the trigger is ON or OFF. If the spindle is ON and the trigger is activated, then the program will be stopped. 

The following code can be used to enable the trigger: 
<code>
  message=PLCCMD_TRIGGER1_ON;
  timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);
</code>

The following code can be used to disable the trigger: 

<code>  message=PLCCMD_TRIGGER1_OFF;
  timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);</code>
  
The code to enable the trigger should be inserted into M03, while the code to disable the trigger should be inserted into M05 and M02. The full resultant PLC procedure code can be found below:

=== Water Fill and Drain control ===

Procedure M240 is used in [[mycnc:mycnc_setup#add_buttons_with_led_display_that_runs_plc_procedures_and_shows_output_pin_state|some plasma cutting machines to control Water Table Fill & Drain]].

Running procedure with parameter "1" toggles Water Filling, running with parameter "0" toggles Water Draining.
If try to ON both Fill & Drain, the procedure will turn off the previous relay to prevent conflicts.


<code c M240.plc>
#define OUTPUT_FILL		13
#define OUTPUT_DRAIN		12

main()
{
  o=gvarget(7184);	//read OUTPUT PORT 0 state (pins 0...31)
  drain_state=o&(1<<OUTPUT_DRAIN);
  fill_state=o&(1<<13);

  if (eparam==0) //toggle drain
  {
   if (drain_state==0)
   {
	portset(OUTPUT_DRAIN);
	portclr(OUTPUT_FILL);	//to prevent both are open
   }else
   {
	portclr(OUTPUT_DRAIN);
   };
  }else //toggle fill
  {
   if (fill_state==0)
   {
	portset(OUTPUT_FILL);
	portclr(OUTPUT_DRAIN);	//to prevent both are open
   }else
   {
	portclr(OUTPUT_FILL);
   };

exit(99);

A tutorial on how to use global variable 7184 present in the code above is available on our YouTube channel:

=== Eliminating tangential knife spin at the start of the program (M212) ===

{{youtube>kLuNWFlizhA?large}}

Because of how the system records angles, the software shows angles larger than 360 degrees (one full revolution) if a number of turns in the same direction have been taken by the knife. For example, if the knife has turned around its axis from 0 degrees twice in the positive direction, the angle now will be recorded as 720 degrees (2 full revolutions). After the program completes, and the angle is left at this number, the next time the program starts, the knife will rotate back until the angle is equal to zero. This behaviour is not ideal for some users, as it can extend the cutting process time. 

{{:plc:five-axes-motion-angle-002.png}}

The M212 PLC exists to remove this positive/negative degree turn that is larger than 360 degrees at the program start. This is useful if the user wants to stop the knife from spinning back multiple times to its 0 position on the c-axis as the program is starting (however, this will still allow the knife to rotate an angle less than a full revolution in order to align itself properly).

This PLC is provided with the myCNC software, and looks as follows: 

<code>main()
{
 c=gvarget(17006); //get C-position in PLC units (0.01 degree)

 m=18000; //180 degree in PLC units (0.01 degree)
 if (c>m)
 {
  do{ c=c-36000; }while (c>m); //remove the whole positive turns 
 };

 m=0-m; //-180 degree in PLC units (0.01 degree)
 if (c<m)
 {
   do{ c=c+36000; }while (c<m); //remove the whole negative turns 
 };

 gvarset(7080,1000); //set speed 3000 degree/s;
 timer=10;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);
 g0moveA(0x0,0x20,0-c); //C axis, move to C=0
 timer=200;do{timer--;}while(timer>0);
 do { code=gvarget(6060); }while(code!=0x4d);//wait till motion finished

 timer=100;do{timer--;}while(timer>0); //delay for any case

 exit(99);
};</code>

This PLC can be added to the DXF footer in **Settings > Config > DXF Import Settings** to run every time when the program generated from an imported DXF file finishes running. 

**//NOTE://** Since M212 changes the current coordinate value, it is necessary to always have a positioning command of the format ''G0C_'' after M212. If, for example, the coordinate is reset to 0 inside the PLC, then the next code after the PLC must be ''G90G0A0''. This  will result in no movement along the axis, but the coordinates will be synchronized.

When analyzing the program, by default the software does not know that the coordinate inside the PLC has changed, and thus the subsequent G0 command must be used to update it (G1/G2/G3 are NOT suitable for this task). However, the G0 code is only necessary if the M212 is embedded into a G-code program. If the M212 PLC is started independently (for example by clicking a the button which launches the M212 alone), then the system will automatically see that the coordinate has been changed.

=== Simultaneous homing for two axes ===

The code below allows simultaneous homing for both the X and the Y axes. The example is using a lot of the functionality described in the Jog from PLC section of the PLC manual ([[plc:plc#jog_from_plc|PLC]]. Please refer to the full PLC manual for further explanation on the jog from PLC functionality and its associated [[mycnc:global_variables|global variables]].

=== Mouse Jog (M320) ===

To enable mouse jog, we need to set global variable #7085 to "1". Afterwards, a SHIFT + Left Mouse Click (hold for ~ 1 second) will activate the jog and the machine should start to move to the selected point. 

<code C>#include pins.h
#include vars.h  

//Move to Mouse Jog position
//Position is 7991, 7992

wait_motion_end()
{
  timer=2; do{timer--;}while (timer>0);  //wait motion started
  do
   {
      ex=0; code=gvarget(6060);
      if (code==0x4d) {ex=1;};
      if (code==0x57) {ex=1;};
    } while(ex==0);
};

main()
{  
    x=gvarget(7991); //get X coordinate
    y=gvarget(7992); //get Y coordinate  
    gvarset(5539,1); //set new model of PLC move API  
    gvarset(8631,100); //Set PLC acceleration time in ms
    speed=gvarget(7041); //get rapid-speed-x
    gvarset(8632,speed); //Set PLC speed in units/min  

    g0moveA(0x81,1,x); //Set X (machine, delayed start)
    g0moveA(0x81,2,y); //Set Y (machine, delayed start)
    g0moveA(0x41,0x3,0); //Start move to Parking

    wait_motion_end();  

    exit(99);
};</code>
