The frame values for the settable work offsets are input from the user interface:
SINUMERIK Operate: "Parameters" > "Work offsets" > "Details" operating area
Parameterized number of parameterizable frames (G505 - G599)
The number of user-specific settable work offsets (G505 - G599) can be set for each specific
channel via:
MD28080 $MC_MM_NUM_USER_FRAMES = <number>

Selection of the working plane (G17/G18/G19)

The specification of the working plane, in which the desired contour is to be machined, also
defines the following functions:
● The plane for tool radius compensation
● The infeed direction for tool length offset depending on the tool type
● The plane for circular interpolation
