Kinematics –
reading and editing
The READ KINEMATICS and WRITE KINEMATICS functions are used to read
and modify elements of the currently active kinematics in the NC program. In
the NC program you cannot define this function (soft keys: program functions,
kinematic functions) until you have entered the code number 555 343. With
the iTNC 530, transformations and geometry axes are elements of the
transformation chain.
READ KINEMATICS
Syntax:
READ KINEMATICS NOTE_QS0 MODE Q0 RESULT_Q1 KEY “KEY;AXIS“ TO QS1
NOTE:
The function saves a "pointer" in this string variable. You need this pointer if
you want to use WRITE KINEMATICS to describe these transformation
elements again.
MODE:
0: Increment read-pointer (next line)
1: Set the read-pointer to the beginning of the transformation chain (first
line)
RESULT:
In "Result", the function provides information about possible errors.
0: No error
1: Error
KEY:
The key words whose entries are to be read are transferred in "Key." With
the iTNC 530, the key words match the column names of the transformation
table. The individual key words are separated by a semicolon.
TO:
Keys are returned, separated by a semicolon. The sequence depends on the
sequence of the "KEY" key words.
WRITE KINEMATICS
Syntax:
WRITE KINEMATICS NOTE_QS0 RESULT_Q1 KEY “COORD“ = QS50
NOTE:
Pointer to a certain transformation element. This pointer must first be
determined with READ KINEMATICS.
RESULT:
In "Result", the function provides information about possible errors.
0: No error
1: Error
KEY:
The key words whose entries are to be overwritten are transferred in "Key."
The individual key words are separated by a semicolon.
=:
A string that contains the new entries is to be transferred as value. The
entries are separated by a semicolon. The sequence depends on the
sequence of the "KEY" key words.
