Tag identifier
Description
CREATE_CYCLE
The tag generates an NC block, whose syntax is defined by the value of the
NC_INSTRUCTION
tag.
Before generating the NC instruction, the parser calls the
CYCLE_CREATE_EVENT tag of the FORM. This tag can be used to calculate
the cycle parameters.
Syntax:
<CREATE_CYCLE/>
Option:
If a reference variable is specified, the instruction copies the generated call into
this variable.
<create_cycle refvar="name" />
Attribute:
•
refvar
If the tag is assigned a reference variable, the NC instruction is copied to this
variable.
Example:
<LET name="cyc_string" type="string"> Cycle100(0, 1000,
5)</LET>
<SOFTKEY_OK>
