Parameter

The following parameters are required in the channel in order to use a 2-path configuration and 2-path programming:

P-CHAN-00261

Enable 2-path programming

Description

This parameter enables the NC syntax for 2-path programming. It permits the programming of two synchronous motions (paths) for 2 axis groups in the same NC block. The motions are separated in the NC block by a colon ':‘.

<global>   <separator>   <path1>   <separator>   <path2>
Nxx G01 G90 F100   :   X100 Y100 Z0     :     U100 V100 W0

Parameter

multi_path_configuration

Data type

BOOLEAN

Data range

0/1

Dimension

----

Default value

0

Remarks

When 2-path programming is active, the colon ‘:’ signifies a separator in the syntax. Jump marks to block numbers Nxx: (also called expression labels) is not possible, but only jumps on string labels are allowed.

P-CHAN-00550

Description

This parameter defines individual functionalities for tool radius compensation.

Parameter

configuration.tool_radius_comp.function

Data type

STRING

Data range

MULTI_PATH: 2-path configuration and 2-path programming active

-: No functionalities defined.

Dimension

----

Default value

*

Remarks

Parameter is available as of the following Builds: V2.11.2040.04 ; V2.11.2810.02 ; V3.1.3079.17 ; V3.1.3107.10

* Note: The default value of variables is a blank string.

The parameters P-CHAN-00555 and P-CHAN-00556 can be used to define functions depending on the machining mode.
