Opening channel interface to read

#TRACK CHAN ON [ DYN_CS=.. [SUPERIMPOSE] [FILTER=..] [WAIT]]

DYN_CS=..

CNC channel number as the source of the dynamic coordinate system to be followed on the PCS plane. The supplied coordinates are superimposed on the MCS or PCS plane (see SUPERIMPOSE) in the same way as for an axis offset.

Range of the channel number [1; 12]

SUPERIMPOSE

Superimposes the dynamic coordinate system on the PCS plane. If superimposition is not used, the values are read in the machine coordinate system (MCS).

FILTER=..

Specifies the number of cycles across which a possible position jump is smoothed when coupling or decoupling.

Value = 0 : Filter is off

Value > 0 : Filter is enabled with filter cycles specified explicitly.

If FILTER is not specified, the filter is enabled with a default value of 200.

WAIT

When the filter is active, the program waits until the coupling is completely activated before executing the next NC line. If this mode is not specified (default), coupling is executed on the fly.

#TRACK CHAN ON [ EXTEND=.. MAX_SCALE=.. MAX_EQUID=.. ]

EXTEND=..

CNC channel number of the master channel used to read the radius. The current channel uses the radius to calculate the scaling or equidistant geometry.

Range of the channel number [1; 12]

MAX_SCALE=..

Maximum scaling radius, normalising value to calculate the current scaling factor.
Scaling is disabled at MAX_SCALE=0 (default).

MAX_EQUID=..

Maximum equidistant radius to calculate the extend function.
Extend equidistant is disabled at MAX_EQUID=0 (default).

#TRACK CHAN ON [ESCAPE=.. START_POS=.. EXTEND_PARAM=.. ]

ESCAPE=..

CNC channel number of escape channel.

Range of the channel number [1; 12]

START_POS=..

Specified CNC channel number.
This channel (normally the down channel) uses the start position. The channel interface of the specified channel must first be activated by #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON [ESCAPE]
Without a definition of START_POS the start position of the ESCAPE channel is used.

EXTEND_PARAM =..

Specified CNC channel number.

The escape calculation is executed depending on the extend parameters (e.g. MAX_SCALE). Therefore, this requires a reference to the EXTEND channel [see #CHANNEL INTERFACE ON [EXTEND] ].

#TRACK CHAN OFF [ [ DYN_CS | EXTEND | ESCAPE ] [SUPERIMPOSE] NO_POS_SYNC ] ]

DYN_CS

Deactivates the DYN_CS channel interface of this channel.

EXTEND

Deactivates the EXTEND channel interface of this channel.

ESCAPE

Deactivates the ESCAPE channel interface of this channel.

SUPERIMPOSE

Deactivates the PCS superimposition of the dynamic coordinate system.

NO_POS_SYNC

Suppresses position synchronisation of the channel when the channel interface is deactivated.

When the channel interface is deactivated, the position of the channel is synchronised by default (see #CHANNEL INIT [CMDPOS]).

This option can be used in the command to suppress this synchronisation, for example for successive rotations while the interface is active.

 

When the channel interface is disabled, the position of this channel must be synchronised (see #CHANNEL INIT [CMDPOS]). This extension can be selected in the NC command to suppress this synchronisation, for example for successive rotations while the interface is active.

If neither DYN_CS, EXTEND nor ESCAPE are specified in the NC command #TRACK CHAN OFF, all channel interfaces are disabled.
