Operating area of the control.
The control has both a self-diagnosis program as well as test functions
for servicing purposes: status, alarm and service displays.
Position and lead values can be programmed in inches in the
machining program. The control is set to a basic system regardless of
the programmable dimensional specification (G70/G71).
The cycles are programmed independently of the system of units.
The editor makes it possible to create, modify, extend, join and import
programs/texts/program blocks.
Contour of the finished workpiece. See also -> Blank.
A frame is a calculation rule that translates one Cartesian coordinate
system into another Cartesian coordinate system. A frame contains
the components -> zero offset, -> rotation, -> scaling, -> mirroring.
In the cycle, additional frames are programmed which have an effect
on the actual value display during the cycle.
At the end of the cycle, the active WCS is the same as before the call.
Geometry axes are used to describe a 2 or 3-dimensional area in the
workpiece coordinate system.
Each global main program/subroutine may appear only once under its
name in the directory. It is not possible to use the same program
name in different directories with different contents as a global
program.
