PLC Library: NCI Utilities

The function blocks ItpPpg* provide an option for creating a parts program (G-Code file) from the PLC. During program generation a distinction is made between a main program (ItpPpgCreateMain) and a subroutine (ItpPpgCreateSubroutine).

Subsequently ItpPpgAppend* can be used to add various NC lines. The following function blocks are available:

• ItpPpgAppendGeoLine adds a linear motion.
• ItpPpgAppendGeoCircleByRadius adds a circle with radius specification.
• ItpPpgAppendGenericBlock inserts a self-defined line, such as activation of rounding or M-functions.

Once the parts program is complete, it is closed with the routines ItpPpgCloseMain or ItpPpgCloseSubroutine.

The following function blocks can be used:
