Citizen MDS-B-PJEX, Automatic PLG Adjustment Procedure
Overview
This procedure will show how to perform automatic PLG adjustment for Citizen Machines with MDS-B-SPJ2X and MDS-B-
PJEX spindle system for Simple C Axis function after PJEX or PLG replacement

Tools Needed
• None
Instructions
I. When to perform the Automatic Adjustment
A. When the SPJX unit is replaced or swapped
B. When the spindle PLG is adjusted or parts are replaced and the drive has an MDS-B-
PJEX unit attached to the spindle drive
C. When C axis accuracy issues arise and the machine has an MDS-PJEX unit attached to
the spindle drive
*If the main spindle is being adjusted, the slave to the guide bushing needs to be removed. See
Appendix for running the main spindle and guide bushing separately
II. PLG Automatic Adjustment
A. Enable Parameter writing
1. Press [MAINT] key on operator panel
2. Press [I/F Diag] soft key
3. Enter “1001” for Device
4. Enter “M” for Mode
5. Press [INPUT] key

B. Change Parameter for Automatic Adjustment

1. Press the [Parameter] button on the operation panel
2. Press [Menu SEL] softkey
3. Press [Page Down] key on the operation panel until you get to page 19/32 if machine is
type L520
4. Press [Page Down] key on the operation panel until you get to page 20/32 if machine is
type M2 or C
5. Set parameter “3445 SP245” for the spindle from 1 to 0 for L520 type
6. Set parameter “3440 SP240” for the spindle from 1 to 0 for M2 or C type
7. Power machine off to breaker
8. Wait 30 seconds, power machine on
9. Repeate steps II-A-1 through II-B-4
10. Set parameter “3445 SP245” for the spindle from 0 to 1 for L520 type
11. Set parameter “3440 SP240” for the spindle from 0 to 1 for M2 or C type
C. Execute PLG Automatic Correction
1. Press the [MDI] key on the operator panel
2. Enter “M3” for spindle 1 (main), or “M23” for spindle 2 (sub). Do not enter a speed
command (S1=xxxx/S2=xxxx)
3. Press [INPUT] key on operator panel
4. Press [CYCLE START] key on the operator panel
5. The spindle will rotate forward and then stop
6. Power off machine to the breaker
7. You can now power on and test operation of the spindle
