Refer to your machine manual.
This function must be enabled and adapted by the machine manufacturer.
During their lifecycle, the machine components which are subject to loads (e.g., guides, ball screws, ...) become worn and thus, the quality of the axis movements deteriorates. This, in turn, affects the production quality.
Using Component Monitoring (Option 155) and Cycle 238, the control is able to measure the current machine status. As a result, any deviations from the machine’s shipping condition due to wear and aging can be measured. The measurement results are stored in a text file that is readable for the machine manufacturer. He can read and evaluate the data, and react with predictive maintenance, thereby avoiding unplanned machine downtimes.
The machine manufacturer can define warning and error thresholds for the measured values and optionally specify error reactions.
Ensure that the axes are not clamped before you start the measurement.
Your machine manufacturer defines in detail how the axes will move.

Q570 Mode (0=test/1=measure)? Define whether the control will perform a measurement of the machine status in test mode or in measurement mode: 0: No measured data will be generated. You can control the axis movements with the feed rate and rapid traverse potentiometers 1: This mode will generate measured data.

NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
