Maximum number of blocks considered for pre-output of M functions (P-STUP-00061)

P-STUP-00061

Maximum number of blocks considered for pre-output of M functions

Description

This parameter permits the configuration of the look-ahead range for the pre-output of M functions (see [FCT-C1]).

Parameter

configuration.channel[i].path_preparation.m_pre_output_lookahead

Data type

UNS32

Data range

0 … 1000

Dimension

----

Default value

10

Remarks

Without an explicit setting, the range is limited by default to 10 NC blocks. This number of blocks may be insufficient for a pre-output of the M function at the desired position if the motion blocks are too short or too many control commands are programmed without any motion. In this case, the M function is pre-output to the maximum known path position and a warning is output.

Parameterisation example:

configuration.channel[0].path_preparation.function FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_M_PRE_OUTPUT

configuration.channel[0].path_preparation.m_pre_output_lookahead 15
