MM4005 NB — Set trajectory element
where the generation of pulses starts
Usage  IMM  PGM  MIP
Syntax NBnn or NB?
Parameters
Description nn
[int] — Number of trajectory element where the pulses genera-
tion commences.
? — Read the number of trajectory element where the puls-
es generation starts.
Range nn — 1 to 100.
Units nn
— None.
Defaults nn Missing: 1.
Out of range: Error C.
Description This command sets number of trajectory element where the generation of
pulses commences. The generation of pulses is started immediately in the
beginning of this element.
NOTE
As the total element number of a trajectory may be inferior than 100 and
the value of NB must be ≤ the value of NE ≤ the total element number,
this value of NB will be reexamined in NS and ET commands.
Returns
If the sign “?” takes place of the nn value, this command reportes the num-
ber of trajectory element where the generation of pulses commences.
Errors A — Unknown message code.
B — Incorrect axis number.
C — Parameter out of limits.
D — Unauthorized execution.
Rel. Commands NE — Set trajectory element where the generation of pulses ends.
NI — Set step (curvi-linear distance) between synchronisation pulses.
NN — Set number of synchronisation pulses to generate.
Example NB3 | Generation of pulses starts at the beginning of the element #3.
NB? | Read element number where the generation of pulses starts.
NB3 | Controller tells the value.
