Siemens SINUMERIK Series Function Manual

P2: Positioning axes
10.5 Programming
Extended Functions
618 Function Manual, 03/2013, 6FC5397-1BP40-3BA1
Example: Positioning axis type 2
Program code Comment
POSA[Q2]=300 FA[Q2]=1500 ; Axis Q2 with feedrate 1,500mm/min at Position
300.
Note
Within a part program, an axis can be a path axis or a positioning axis. Within a movement
block, however, each axis must be assigned a unique axis type.
Programming in synchronized action
Axes can be positioned completely asynchronous to the part program from synchronized
actions.
Example:
Program code Comment
ID=1 WHENEVER $R==1 DO POS[Q4]=10 FA[Q3]=990 ; The axial feedrate is specified
permanently.

Block change
The block change can be adjusted for positioning axis types 1 and 2 with:
FINEA=<axis name> or
FINEA[<axis name>]
COARSEA=<axis name> or
COARSEA[<axis name>]
IPOENDA=<axis name> or
IPOENDA[<axis name>]
In Type 3 positioning axis, the block change within the brake ramp of the single interpolation
can be set with:
IPOBRKA=<axis name> or
IPOBRKA(<axis name>[,<instant in time*>])
* Instant in time of the block change, referred to the braking ramp as a %
