Rotation 
Component of a -> frame which defines a rotation of the coordinate 
system through a specific angle. 
 
   
Rounding axis 
Rounding axes cause the workpiece or tool to rotate to an angle 
position described on a graduated grid. When the grid position has 
been reached, the axis is "in position". 
 
   
 
 
   
S 
 
   
S7 Configuration 
S7 Configuration is a tool for parameterizing modules. S7 
Configuration is used to set a variety of 
-> parameter blocks of the -> CPU and the I/O modules on the  
-> programming device. These parameters are uploaded to the CPU. 
 
   
S7-300 bus 
The S7-300 bus is a serial data bus which supplies modules with the 
appropriate voltage and via which they exchange data with one 
another. The connection between the modules is made by means of 
-> bus connectors. 
 
   
Safety functions 
The control includes continuously active monitoring functions which 
detect faults in the -> CNC, the programmable controller (-> PLC) and 
the machine so early that damage to the workpiece, tool or machine 
rarely occurs. In the event of a fault, the machining operation is 
interrupted and the drives stopped. The cause of the malfunction is 
logged and an alarm issued. At the same time, the PLC is notified that 
a CNC alarm is pending. 
 
   
Scaling 
Component of a -> frame which causes axis-specific scale alterations.
 
   
Serial RS-232 interface 
For data input / output, one serial RS-232 interface is available on the 
MMC module MMC100, and two serial RS-232 interfaces on the MMC 
modules MMC101 and MMC102. Machining programs and 
manufacturer and user data can be imported and exported via these 
interfaces. 
 
   
Services 
Control operating area 
 
   
Setting data 
Data which provide the control with information about properties of the 
machine tool in a way defined by the system software. 
 
   
Simulator module 
A simulator module is a module, 
·  on which, via control elements, digital input values can be 
simulated and  
·  digital output values are displayed.
