Requirement
- Control adapted by the machine manufacturer
The machine manufacturer defines which internal functions the control performs with this function. The machine manufacturer must define selection possibilities for the FUNCTION MODE SET function.
Description of function
When the operating modes are switched, the control executes a macro that defines the machine-specific settings for the specific operating mode.
If the machine manufacturer has enabled the selection of various kinematic models, then you can switch between them using the FUNCTION MODE function.
Input
11 FUNCTION MODE SET "Range1" | ; Activate the machine manufacturer setting |
To navigate to this function:
Insert NC function All functions Special functions FUNCTION MODE
The NC function includes the following syntax elements:
Syntax element | Meaning |
---|---|
FUNCTION MODE | Syntax initiator for the machining mode |
MILL or SET | Select the machining mode or machine manufacturer setting |
Name or QS | Name of a kinematic model or machine-manufacturer setting Fixed or variable name Selection by means of a selection window Optional syntax element |
Notes
- In the optional machine parameter CfgModeSelect (no. 132200), the machine manufacturer defines the settings for the FUNCTION MODE SET function. If the machine manufacturer does not define the machine parameter, then FUNCTION MODE SET is not available.
- If the functions Tilt working plane (#8 / #1-01-1) or TCPM (#9 / #4-01-1) are active, you cannot switch the machining mode.
