Gear change (G112)
Syntax: | ||
G112 <axis_name>.. { <axis_name>.. } | Gear change | non-modal |
The G112 function can change gear steps for individual path axes.
G112 is also available for spindle axes. However, the special characteristics described in section “Gear change (G112) for spindles“ must be taken into consideration.
The number of the gear step is specified in P-AXIS-00135. The active gear step can be read using the CNC object “actual gear number“ of the axis.
With axes which have no real gear, this functionality can be used to change various axis parameters. For example, controller gain and position lag monitoring can be matched to one another in a separate parameter block and can then be selected by the "gear number” defined in the NC program.
 | The gear step selected is non modal for path axes. On reset, the gear step is reset to the default value (P-AXIS-00079) |
Notice | |
G112 may not be programmed with a path condition in the same NC block. |
