These variables are synchronous read/write (R/W).
They have generic names.
• Replace the "n" character with the channel number, maintaining the brackets. The first
channel is identified with the number 1, "0" is not a valid number.
The (V.)G.FREAL variable takes into account the accelerations and decelerations of the
machine. When the axes are stopped, it returns a value of "0" and when moving it returns the
value corresponding to the feedrate type G94/G95. On laser cutting machines, it is
recommended to use this variable so the laser power is proportional to the feedrate.
The feedrate in G94 (mm/min) or G95 (mm/rev) may be set by program or by PLC; the one set
by PLC has the highest priority. When selecting a new feedrate in MDI mode, the CNC updates
the following variables:
• (V.)G.FEED and (V.)G.PRGF with G94 active.
• (V.)G.FPREV and (V.)G.PRGFPR with G95 active.
(V.)[n].A.FRO.Xn Valid for rotary and linear axes. Also for the independent axes.
The Feedrate override % may be set by program, by PLC or with the selector switch; the one set by
program has the highest priority and the one selected with the switch the lowest.
