If the PLC user reports back to the NCK with a different actual gear stage than issued by the NCK 
as the setpoint gear stage, the gear change is still considered to have been successfully completed 
and the actual gear stage A to C is activated.

Actual gear stage A to C 
Edge evaluation: yes  Signal(s) updated: cyclic 
Signal state 1  
(status-controlled) 
If the new gear stage is engaged, the PLC user program sets the interface signals: 
DB31, ... DBX16.2 - DBX16.0 (actual gear stage A to C) 
and 
DB31, ... DBX16.3 (gear is changed over). 
This signals the NCK that the correct gear stage has been successfully engaged.  
The gear change is considered to have been completed (spindle oscillation mode is deselected), 
the spindle accelerates in the new gear stage to the last programmed spindle speed and the next 
block in the parts program can be executed. 
The actual gear stage is output in coded format.  
For each of the 5 gear stages, there is one set of parameters assigned as follows:

If the PLC user program signals a different actual gear stage back to the NCK than that issued by 
the NCK as the setpoint gear stage, the gear stage change is still considered as having been 
successfully completed and the actual gear stage A to C is activated.
