6.6 System data
6.6.1 Basic settings
The control works on the basis of clock cycles that are defined via machine
data. The system basic cycle is specified in seconds; the other cycle times are
obtained as multiples of the system basic cycle.
The clock cycles are optimized by default and should only be changed if the
requirements of the NCK cannot be met with the default values.
The following cycle times are used by default:

The machine data for cycle times is set as follows:
If MD ... = ... Then the ... = ...
SYSCLOCK_CYCLE_TIME = 0.002 System basic cycle = 2 ms
POSCTRL_SYSCLOCK_TIME_RATIO = 1 Position control cycle = 2 ms (1 2 ms)
IPO_SYSCLOCK_TIME_RATIO = 3 Interpolator cycle = 6 ms (3 2 ms)

Warning
If you have changed the clock cycles, check that the operating response of the
control is correct in all operating modes before ending the start-up process.
A control is switched from the metric system to an inch system with
MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC (basic system is metric).
The additional conversion factor is specified in
MD 10250: SCALING_VALUE_INCH (conversion factor for switching to the
INCH system, factor = 25.4).
After power ON the existing data is converted to inches and displayed. After
switchover data must be entered in inches.
