PLC Library: NC Configuration

The TcNcCfg.lib library provides the function blocks for general NC axis configuration. This makes it possible to configure or to reconfigure axes in a simple way directly from the PLC.

The following function blocks are included in the library TcNcCfg.lib and can be instantiated repeatedly.
