When the system of measurement is changed, all lengthrelated parameters are
automatically converted to the new system of measurement from the perspec-
tive of the operator. This includes:
– Positions
– Feed rates
– Acceleration rates
– Jerk
– Tool offsets
– Programmable, settable and work offsets external and DRF offsets
– Compensation values
– Protection zones
– Machine data
– Jog and hand wheel factors
After switching, all above mentioned data are available in the physical units as
described in Section 11.3.2, Page 11-294.
Data for which no unique physical units are defined, such as:
– Arithmetic variables
– GUDs (Global User Data)
– LUDs (Local User Data)
– PUDs (Program global User Data)
– Analog inputs/outputs
– Data exchange via FC21
are not
converted automatically. In this case, the user must allow for the current
system of measurement in MD 10240: SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC.
The current system of measurement setting can be read at the PLC interface
via the ”inch system” signal DB10.DBX107.7. DB10.DBB71 can be used to read
out the ”system of measurement change counter”.
