Brief description

The control processes language elements according to DIN 66025 syntax or customary design and logical language extensions:

• Text-oriented program names
• Very comprehensive parameter calculations (local and global parameters)
• Access to control-internal data such as positions, measurement and tool data, offsets etc., through plain text designations (V.A.name, V.G.name)
• Definition of plain texts to designate free parameters in the NC-program (V.L.name, V.S.name, V.P.name)
• Control blocks based on the programming language "C"; for example:
• Conditional jumps: $IF, $ELSEIF, $ELSE, $ENDIF,
  $SWITCH, $CASE, $DEFAULT, $ENDSWITCH, $BREAK
• Loops with counter: $FOR, $ENDFOR, $CONTINUE, $BREAK
• Loops with running condition: $WHILE, $ENDWHILE, $CONTINUE, $BREAK
• Loops without running condition: $DO, $ENDDO, $CONTINUE, $BREAK
• Jumps within the same NC-program level: $GOTO
• Differentiation between global (accessible by all main programs) and local subroutines (accessible only from the concerned main program)
• Mathematical expressions:
• Arithmetic standard operations: + , - , * , / , ** , MOD
• Numerical functions like ABS,SQR,SQRT,EXP,LN,DEXP,LOG
• Trigonometric functions like SIN,COS,TAN,ASIN,ACOS,ATAN
• Conversion functions such as INT,FRACT,ROUND
• Technological information with configurable effect of each function:
• Additional functions (MO....M65535)
• Auxiliary functions (H0....H65535)
• Spindle functions (S, M3, M4, M5, M19)
• Tool functions (T, D)
• Processing of coordinate notation A, B, C, ..., U, V, W (if they are not used in any other way), and / or programming of strings (e.g. X_ACHSE, SPINDEL_1 ...).
