$SN_... are system variables for NC and machine-specific protection zones.
$SC_... are system variables for channel-specific protection zones.
The index "n" corresponds to the number of the protection zone: 0 = 1. Protection zone
The index "i" corresponds to the number of the contour element: 0 = 1. Contour element
The contour elements must be defined in ascending order.
Note
The system variables of the protection-zone definitions are not restored with REORG.
Data of the protection-zone definitions
data storage
The protection-zone definitions are stored in the following files:
