10.4 Miscellaneous Functions for Contouring Behavior
Restrictions
îš„ After an external or internal stop, you can only re-enter the contour
with the function RESTORE POS. AT N. Before you start the block
scan, you must cancel M120, otherwise the TNC will output an error
message.
îš„ When using the path functions RND and CHF, the blocks before and
after RND or CHF must contain only coordinates in the working plane.
îš„ If you want to approach the contour on a tangential path, you must
use the function APPR LCT. The block with APPR LCT must contain
only coordinates of the working plane.
îš„ If you want to depart the contour on a tangential path, use the
function DEP LCT. The block with DEP LCT must contain only
coordinates of the working plane.
îš„ Before using the functions listed below, you have to cancel M120
and the radius compensation:
îš„ Cycle 32 Tolerance
îš„ Cycle 19 Working plane
îš„ PLANE function
îš„ M114
îš„ M128
îš„ M138
îš„ M144
îš„ TCPM FUNCTION
îš„ WRITE TO KINEMATIC
