Userdefined auxiliary functions
There are two uses for user-defined auxiliary functions:
• Extension of predefined auxiliary functions
• User-specific auxiliary functions
Extension of predefined auxiliary functions
Extension of predefined auxiliary functions refers to the "address extensions" parameter. The
address extension defines the number of the spindle to which the auxiliary function applies.
The spindle function M3 (spindle right) is predefined for the master spindle of a channel. If a
2nd spindle is assigned to a channel, a corresponding user-defined auxiliary function must
be defined that extends the predefined auxiliary function.
Type Function Example Meaning
M Miscellaneous (i.e.
special) function
M2=3 2. spindle: Spindle right
S Spindle function S2=100 2. spindle: Spindle speed = 100 e.g. rpm
T Tool number T2=3
User-specific auxiliary functions
User-specific auxiliary functions do not activate system functions. User-specific auxiliary
functions are output by the NC to the NC/PLC interface only. The functionality of the auxiliary
functions must be implemented by the machine manufacturer / user via the PLC user
program.
