Global and local parameters tables
7.6 Global and local parameters tables
The CNC has two types of general purpose variables:
• Local parameters P0-P25 (7 levels).
• Global parameters P100-P299.
The CNC updates the parameter tables after carrying out the operations indicated in the block in
preparation. This operation is always carried out before executing the block. Therefore, the values
shown in the table may not coincide with those of the block being executed.
If the execution mode is abandoned after interrupting the execution of the program, the CNC will
update the parameter tables with values corresponding to the block that was being executed.
In the global and local parameter tables, the values of the parameters may be displayed in decimal
(4127.423) or in scientific notation (0.23476 E-3).
The CNC generates a new nesting level of local parameters every time parameters are assigned
to a subroutine. Up to a maximum of 6 nesting levels of local parameters are possible.
When the machining canned cycles: G66, G68, G69, G81, G82, G83, G84, G85, G86, G87, G88
and G89 are active, they use the sixth nesting level of local parameters.
To access the different local parameter tables, the corresponding level must be indicated (0 through
6).
While programming in high level, local parameters may be referred to as P0-P25, or as A-Z,"A" being
the same as "P0" and "Z" the same as "P25".
That is why the local parameter tables show the parameter number next to their associated letter
(between parenthesis). In the tables, the parameter can only referred to as P0-P25, letters are not
allowed.
