8.4.11 Inclined planes (·M· model)
The inclined-plane editor may be accessed from the softkey menu to edit a new one, or
selecting an inclined plane of the program and pressing the [RECALL] key.
Inclined planes programmed directly in ISO code using the instructions #CS and #ACS can
also be restored using the [RECALL] key. This way, it is possible to check the programmed
parameters and the resulting inclined plane.
Once the inclined plane has been defined, press [ESC] to quit the editor. The softkey menu
will show the "insert inclined plane" softkey to insert the defined inclined plane into the
program. The block for the defined inclined plane is inserted after the block where the cursor
is.
Description of the help screen for inclined planes.
A Help graphics. Sequence of drawings showing each step for defining the inclined plane.
When the focus is on a programmable parameter, the sequence will stop and show the
relevant explanatory drawing.
B Short explanation on how to program the selected inclined plane.
C Drawing of the resulting inclined plane. The drawing is updated (refreshed) as the user
programs the different parameters that affect the geometry of the inclined plane. The
drawing shows the following elements.
• The inclined plane in white.
• The reference system of the inclined plane, X' Y' Z', in blue.
• When there is a translation vector (V1, V2, V3), the drawing will show a reference
system at the lower left side of the drawing. The distance between this reference
system and the cube is not proportional; the graphics is merely approximate.
When the drawing is selected with the focus, the cube may be rotated using the
[][][][] keys or using the wheel of the mouse.
D Parameters to define the inclined plane.
The softkey menu of the inclined-plane editor shows the various ways to program inclined
planes. To return to the main menu, press the [BACK] key.
For further information on how to program inclined planes, instructions #CS and #ACS, refer to the
programming manual.
