Synchronization of function with the NC
Format: Selection menu
Input:
SYNC_EXEC:
The function is synchronized with program run.
The output of movement by the interpolator is
stopped; then the function is executed.
Please note:
After this function has been executed, the look-
ahead calculation continues using the position
values that were active before execution of the
function. This setting is not suitable, for
example, for M functions executing PLC
positioning movements!
SYNC_CALC:
The function is synchronized with program
calculation. The interpretation of the NC
program is stopped and the path is calculated
internally; then the function is executed. The M
function is completely executed. After
successful execution has been acknowledged,
calculation continues with new position values.
ASYNC:
The function is output without synchronization.
