Siemens MCP 398C Programming Manual

Note
Previous coupling calls for coupled motion (TRAIL*), Master value coupling (LEAD*), Electronic
Gearbox (EG*) and Synchronous spindle (COUP*) are supported via adaptive cycles.
Overview of all keywords and coupling characteristics
The following table gives an overview of all keywords of the generic coupling and the
programmable coupling characteristics:
