With this type of programming, the F value programmed in N110 is evaluated as the rotary axis
feedrate in degrees/min, while the feedrate evaluation in N120 is either 100 inch/min or 100 mm/
min, dependent upon the currently active G70/G71/G700/G710 setting.
NOTICE
Feedrate difference
FGREF evaluation also works if only rotary axes are programmed in the block. The normal F
value interpretation as degree/min applies in this case only if the radius reference corresponds
to the FGREF default:
● For G71/G710: FGREF[A]=57.296
● For G70/G700: FGREF[A]=57.296/25.4
Read reference radius
The value of the reference radius of a rotary axis can be read using system variables:
● In synchronized actions or with preprocessing stop in the part program via system variable:
$AA_FGREF[<axis>] Current main run value
● Without preprocessing stop in the part program via system variable:
$PA_FGREF[<axis>] Programmed value
If no values are programmed, the default 360 mm/(2π) = 57.296 mm (corresponding to 1 mm
per degree) will be read in both variables.
For linear axes, the value in both variables is always 1 mm.
Read path axes affecting velocity
The axes involved in path interpolation can be read using system variables:
● In synchronized actions or with preprocessing stop in the part program via system variables:
$AA_FGROUP[<axis>] Returns the value "1" if the specified axis affects the path
velocity in the current main run record by means of the
basic setting or through FGROUP programming. Other‐
wise, the variable returns the value "0".
$AC_FGROUP_MASK Returns a bit key of the channel axes programmed
with FGROUP which are to affect the path velocity.
● Without preprocessing stop in the part program via system variables:
$PA_FGROUP[<axis>] Returns the value "1" if the specified axis affects the path
velocity by means of the basic setting or through FGROUP
programming. Otherwise, the variable returns the value
"0".
$P_FGROUP_MASK Returns a bit key of the channel axes programmed
with FGROUP which are to affect the path velocity.
