SPP and SPN in the same block
If you program both the path segment length (SPP) and the number of path segments (SPN)
in the same block, then SPN applies to this block and SPP to all the following blocks. If SPP
was activated before SPN, then it takes effect again after the block with SPN.

Note
Provided that punching/nibbling functions are available in the control, then it is possible to
program the automatic path segmentation function with SPN or SPP even when the
punching/nibbling functions are not in use.
8.13.2 Path segmentation for single axes
If single axes are defined as punching/nibbling axes in addition to path axes, then the auto-
matic path segmentation function can be activated for them.
Response of single axis to SPP
The programmed path segment length (SPP) basically refers to the path axes. For this rea-
son, the SPP value is ignored in blocks which contain a single axis motion and an SPP va-
lue, but not a programmed path axis.
