An "external" rotary table is implemented externally to the machine controller. Because the machine controller (for the XYZ axis motion, etc.) is not aware of the existence of the rotary table, PC-DMIS must communicate with the rotary table controller separately through an additional communications port. Therefore, external rotary table support is implemented in a generic manner inside PC-DMIS and does not depend on any particular machine interface.
Supported Table Types
The Allen-Bradley external rotary table is supported.
