Boundary conditions 
"JOG in AUTOMATIC" can only switch internally to JOG if the mode group is in "Mode group 
RESET" state, i.e., it is not possible to jog immediately in the middle of a stopped program. 
The user can jog in this situation by pressing the JOG key or the Reset key 
in all channels
 of 
the mode group. 
Selecting AUTOMATIC disables the INC keys and the user can/must press the INC keys 
again to select the desired increment. If the NCK switches to "Internal JOG", the selected 
increment is retained. 
If the user attempts to jog the geometry or orientation axes, the NCK switches to "Internal 
JOG" and the motion is executed. Several axes can be physically moved in this way; they 
must all be "JOG-capable". 
Following the JOG movement, the NCK deactivates "Internal JOG" again and selects AUTO 
mode again. The internal mode change is delayed until the movement is complete. This 
avoids unnecessary multiple switching operations, e.g., when using the handwheel. The PLC 
can only rely on the "Internal JOG active" PLC signal. 
The NCK will then switch to "Internal JOG" if the axis is not enabled. 
2.2.1  Monitoring functions and interlocks of the individual modes 
Channel status determines monitoring functions 
 
Monitoring functions in operating modes 
Different monitoring functions are active in individual operating modes. These monitoring 
functions are not related to any particular technology or machine. 
In a particular mode only some of the monitoring functions are active depending on the 
operating status. The channel status determines which monitoring functions are active in 
which mode and in which operating state.  
 
Interlocking functions in operating modes 
Different interlocks can be active in the different operating modes. These interlocking 
functions are not related to any particular technology or machine.  
Almost all the interlocks can be activated in every mode, depending on the operating status.
