Assignments in 
Manual modes of 
operation
In the manual operating modes, the peripheral user devices, such as the 
monitor or keyboard unit, are assigned to a machining channel and a spindle. 
The machining channel is specified in the PLC operands 
NN_GenOmgManual and NN_GenChnManual, and the spindle in 
NN_GenSpiManual. 
The machining channel and the spindle are selected specifically for each 
control.
Asynchronous 
position 
compensation 
(additive 
compensation)
The control supports asynchronous compensation. Asynchronous means that 
compensation values are entered during machining.
The control supports:
 Asynchronous tool compensation: This compensation is assigned to a tool, 
and corrects the tool lengths. The asynchronous tool compensation is 
cleared during a tool change.
 Asynchronous position compensation: This type of compensation, also 
known as additive compensation, is managed independently of channels in 
tables, and is activated and deactivated via G command (G914). An 
asynchronous position compensation is in effect until it is deactivated or 
until the end of the program.
For compensation value tables for asynchronous position compensation, see 
MP_System/Paths/CfgTablePath/Add_Cor*/path (*=1: machining channel 1; 
*=2: machining channel 2; etc.)
If an asynchronous compensation is activated, deactivated or changed, then it 
is "corrected" with the velocity defined in MP_feed.
