Output before the contouring curve:

N01 #CONTOUR MODE [DEV PATH_DEV=10.0 PRE_ACTION]

Example 1: — Block limit before contouring curve

Output within contouring curve:

N01 #CONTOUR MODE [DEV PATH_DEV=10.0 INTER_ACTION]

Example 2: — Block limit within contouring curve

Output after contouring curve:

N01 #CONTOUR MODE [DEV PATH_DEV=10.0 POST_ACTION]

Example 3: — Block limit after contouring curve

If the acknowledgement of M25 is delayed by block N10, the motion is stopped after the contouring curve and the program waits for PLC acknowledgement.

Example 4: — Block limit after contouring curve

Programming Example

Change the limit angle during contouring:

#CONTOUR MODE [DEV PATH_DEV=0.50 RELEVANT_PATH=0.1 TRACK_DEV=2 RELEVANT_TRACK=0.2]

F10000

G261

N5 #CONTOUR MODE [MAX_ANGLE=3]

N10 G01 X0 Y0 Z0 G61

N15 #CONTOUR MODE [MAX_ANGLE=4]

N20 G01 X100 Y0 Z0

N25 #CONTOUR MODE [MAX_ANGLE=5]

N30 G01 X100 Y100 Z0

N35 #CONTOUR MODE [MAX_ANGLE=6]

N40 G01 X0 Y0 Z0 G61

G260

Result:

Contour the N block always takes place at the limit angle of the previous N<i-5> block.

Programming Example

Variation of the contour angle with constant limit angle:

#CONTOUR MODE [DEV PATH_DEV=0.50 RELEVANT_PATH=0.1 TRACK_DEV=2 RELEVANT_TRACK=0.2]

#CONTOUR MODE [RELEVANT_TRACK=0.3]
