The following notation and abbreviations are used in this documentation:
● Programmable logic control (PLC) interface signals -> IS "Signal name" (signal data)
Example: IS "Feedrate override" (DB380x.DBB0)
The variable byte is located in the "to axis" range, x stands for the axis:
– 0: axis 1
– 1: axis 2
– n: axis n+1.
● Machine data -> MD MD_NR MD_NAME (description)
e.g.: MD30300 IS_ROT_AX (rotary axis)
● Setting data -> SD SD_NR SD_NAME (description)
e.g.: SD41200 JOG_SPIND_SET_VELO (JOG velocity for the spindle)
The machine and setting data are divided into the following areas:
Channel-specific machine data
Axis-specific machine data
Channel-specific setting data
Axis-specific setting data
