Current Block In The Interpolator ($Ac_Blocktype, $Ac_Blocktypeinfo, $Ac_Splitblock) - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Function Manual

2.3.19 Current block in the interpolator ($AC_BLOCKTYPE, $AC_BLOCKTYPEINFO,
$AC_SPLITBLOCK)
Information on the block currently being processed in the main run can be read in
synchronized actions via the following system variables.
$AC_BLOCKTYPE and $AC_BLOCKTYPEINFO
The system variable $AC_BLOCKTYPE contains the block type or the ID for the function that
generated the block.
The system variable $AC_BLOCKTYPEINFO contains, in addition to the block type
(thousands position), the function-specific cause for the generation of the intermediate block.
$AC_BLOCKTYPE
Value Meaning: Current block has been
generated because of ...
0 Programmed block!
1 NC as intermediate block
2 Chamfer/rounding
3 Smooth approach/retraction (SAR)
4 Tool offset
5 Corner rounding
6 Tangential tracking (TLIFT)
Synchronized actions
