Structure and classification of manual mode parameters

The parameters of the MachineDataBlock contain configuration data for manual mode.

The list assigns hardware information of physical handwheels and inching keys required for manual mode to logical manual mode elements. For example, the hardware addresses of physical handwheels are assigned to logical handwheels. It also defines the number of handwheels and inching key pairs and general configuration data for manual mode.

The parameters are structured as follows:

• Number of configured handwheels
• Parameterisation data of individual handwheels
• Number of configured inching keys
• Parameterisation data of individual inching keys
• Processing manual mode motion paths during a feedhold

Notice

The field indices to be specified in the list correspond to the internal manual mode indexing of axis and manual mode elements.

The value ranges of parameters are also defined if necessary by specifying a limit arising from the data format, e.g. MAX(UNS32) etc.
