Basic logic functions: Feeds (V1)

2.3.9 Non-modal feedrate FB
General
A separate feedrate can be specified for a single block with the command FB (Feed Block).
For this block the previously active path feedrate is overwritten. After this block, the
previously active modal path feedrate becomes active once more.
Function
The non-modal feedrate is programmed with FB=<value>.
The feedrate value is interpreted according to the type of feedrate active:
G94, G961, G971: Feedrate in mm/min, inch/min or
o
/min
G95, G96, G97: Revolutional feedrate in mm/rev or inch/rev
Constraints
• The programmed value of FB=<value> must be greater than zero.
• If no traversing motion is programmed in the block (e.g.,: computation block), FB has no
effect.
• If no explicit feedrate for chamfering/rounding is programmed, then the value of FB also
applies for any contour element chamfering/rounding in this block.
• The path velocity profile programmed with FLIN or FCUB does not act with the rotational
feedrate for G95 and with constant cutting speed for G96/G961 and G97/G971.
• Feedrate interpolations FLIN, FCUB, .. are possible without restriction.
• Simultaneous programming of FB and FD (handwheel travel with feedrate overlay) or F
(modal path feedrate) is not possible.
