Punching and nibbling
12.2 Automatic path segmentation

656 Programming Manual, 07/2010, 6FC5398-2BP40-0BA0
Number of SPN path segments
SPN defines the number of path segments to be generated from the total traversing distance.
The length of the segments is calculated automatically. Since
SPN is non-modal, punching or
nibbling must be activated beforehand with
PON or SON respectively.
SPP and SPN in the same block
If you program both the path segment length (SPP) and the number of path segments (SPN) in
the same block, then
SPN applies to this block and SPP to all the following blocks. If SPP was
activated before
SPN, then it takes effect again after the block with SPN.

Note
Provided that punching/nibbling functions are available in the control, then it is possible to
program the automatic path segmentation function with
SPN or SPP even independent of this
technology.
