Introduction

Technology functions can be defined for each channel and each axis.

Channel-specific technology functions are defined in the channel parameters; axis-specific technology functions are defined in the axis parameters of each axis.

This definition also includes the synchronisation mechanism of the technology function. A distinction is made between two basic types of synchronisation:

• Block-by-block synchronisation (default synchronisation),
• Cross-block synchronisation.

M functions not defined are indicated as unknown M functions by an error message after NC program start and decoding is aborted.
