Plain text entry
To improve the readability of the cycle call, parameter <S_TOLM> (machining type) can also be
entered in the plain text. Plain texts are independent of any language. The following entries are
permitted:
_OFF for 0 Deselection
_FINISH for 1 Finishing
_SEMIFIN for 2 Rough finishing
_ROUGH for 3 Roughing
_PRECISION for 4 Smooth finishing
_ORI_FINISH for 11 Finishing with input of an orienta‐
tion tolerance
_ORI_SEMIFIN for 12 Semi-finishing with input of an ori‐
entation tolerance
_ORI_ROUGH for 13 Roughing with input of an orienta‐
tion tolerance
_ORI_PRECISION for 14 Smooth finishing with input of an
orientation tolerance
_TOP_SURFACE_SMOOTH_OFF for 1000000 Top Surface without smoothing
_TOP_SURFACE_SMOOTH_ON for 2000000 Top Surface with smoothing
For plain text input for Top Surface, plain texts are combined as shown in the following example:
CYCLE832(0.1, _TOP_SURFACE_SMOOTH_OFF+_ORI_FINISH, 1)
Note
The plain texts are based on the function names of the G group 59 (dynamic mode for path
interpolation). With these plain texts, 3-axis machines and machines with multi-axis orientation
transformation (TRAORI) are clearly separated in the application.
Deselecting CYCLE832
When CYCLE832 is deselected, parameter <S_TOL> must be transferred with zero.
Example: CYCLE832(0,0,1)
The syntax CYCLE832() is also permitted for deselecting CYCLE832.
