Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual page 213

Each parameter is mapped by a system variable. The individual parameters or system
variables are described in detail in:
● Chapter "System variables: Protection area elements for machine protection areas
(Page 232)"
● Chapter "System variables: Protection area elements for automatic tool protection areas
(Page 250)"
Protection area, protection area elements and kinematic chain
Using an example of a protection area with two protection area elements, the following diagram
shows the interrelationship between the protection area, its protection area elements and the
assignment to an element of the kinematic chain.
