Significance
CTABDEF( )
Start of curve table definition
CTABEND
End of curve table definition
<following axis>
Axis whose motion is to be calculated using the curve table
<leading axis>
Axis providing the master values for the calculation of the following
axis motion
<n>
Number (ID) of curve table
The number of a curve table is unique and independent of the
memory location. It is not possible for there to be tables with the
same number in the static and dynamic NC memory.
Table periodicity
0
Table is non-periodic (table is processed only once, even for
rotary axes)
1
Table is periodic with regard to the leading axis
<periodicity>
2
Table is periodic with regard to leading axis and following axis
Specification of memory location (optional)
"SRAM"
The curve table is created in the static NC memory.
"DRAM"
The curve table is created in the dynamic NC memory.
<memory location>
Note:
If a value is not programmed for this parameter, the default memory
location set with
MD20905 $MC_CTAB_DEFAULT_MEMORY_TYPE is used.
Note
Overwrite
A curve table is overwritten as soon as its number (
<n>) is used in another table definition
(exception: the curve table is in active in an axis coupling or locked with
CTABLOCK). No
warning is output when curve tables are overwritten.
