FCUB
 The feed is approached according to a cubic
characteristic from the current feed value to the
programmed F value until the end of the block. The
control uses splines to connect all the feed values
programmed non-modally that have an active FCUB.
The feed values act here as interpolation points for
calculation of the spline interpolation.
 
 Example:
 
N50 F1400 FCUB X50
 
N60 F2000 X47
 
N70 F3800 X52

F=FPO(…,…,…)
 The feed characteristic is programmed directly via a
polynomial. The polynomial coefficients are specified
according to the same method used for polynomial
interpolation.
 
 Example:
 
F=FPO(endfeed, quadf, cubf)
 
 
endfeed, quadf 
and
 cubf 
are previously
defined variables.

endfeed:
 Feed at block end
 
 
quadf:
 Quadratic polynomial coefficient
 
 
cubf:
 Cubic polynomial coefficient
   
 With an active FCUB, the spline is linked tangentially
to the characteristic defined via FPO at the block
beginning and block end.
 
 
 
   
 
Supplementary conditions
 The functions for programming the path traversing
characteristics apply regardless of the programmed
feed characteristic.
