The TABDATA functions allow you to access table values.
These functions enable automated editing of compensation values from within the NC program, for example.
- You can access the following tables:
- Tool table *.t (read-only access)
- Compensation table *.tco (read and write access)
- Compensation table *.wco (read and write access)
- Preset table *.pr (read and write access)
In each case, the active table is accessed. Read-only access is always possible, whereas write access is possible only during program run. Write access during simulation or during a block scan has no effect.
The control provides the following functions for accessing the table values:
Syntax | Function | Further information |
---|---|---|
TABDATA READ | Read the value from a table cell | |
TABDATA WRITE | Write a value to a table cell | |
TABDATA ADD | Add a value to a table value |
If the unit of measure used in the NC program differs from that used in the table, the control converts the values from millimeters to inches, and vice versa.
