Fundamentals
The control provides the NC functions for programming the control structures.
Using control structures, you can program the NC program more clearly and with a better structure. The control indents the NC blocks within the control structures. Thus you can see right away where a control structure starts and ends.
The control provides the following NC functions:
NC function | Meaning |
---|---|
Case analyses:
| Case analyses allow you to define conditions. If a condition is fulfilled, the control executes the NC blocks that belong to that condition. If a condition is not fulfilled, the control skips the NC blocks. |
Program loops:
| Program loops enable you to repeat NC blocks several times. |
Advanced control of program loops:
| The NC functions for advanced control of program loops allow you to skip the current loop repetition or cancel the program loop. You can program these NC functions within FOR and WHILE loops. |
