CNC VARIABLES
14.1 Understanding the description of the variables
PRG / PLC / INT – Access to variables
The internal CNC variables may be accessed from the part program,
MDI, PLC and from any application (for example FGUIM). This chapter
uses the following abbreviations to indicate where these variables
may be accessed from:
PRG From the part-program or MDI.
PLC from the PLC.
INT From any application (interface). For example FGUIM.
Each variable must indicate whether it can only be read (R) or read
and written (R/W).
LIN / ROT / CAB / ANA / SER – Variables related to the axes
and drives
For variables associated with the axes, they indicate the type of axis
and the drive associated with the variable.
Lin Linear axis
Rot Rotary axis
Spd Spindle
Ana Analog drive
Ser Sercos drive.
When using Sercos drives, it will indicate whether the variable is valid
or not when the drive works in position mode (P) or velocity mode (S)
or in both (P/S).
