Extended skipping (skip levels)

Release Note

release_note

This function is available as of Build V3.01.3021.00.

By combining a slash "/" and a numeral, you can set up to 10 different skip levels in the NC program (e.g. /5 N3412...). The skip levels are activated on the operating console (HMI) or by the PLC by a 32 bit command before main program start. Multiple skip levels can be activated at the same time.

In the Extended Skipping function, changes in skipping settings take effect immediately while the NC program is active. Defined break points can be implemented, e.g. by M functions followed by #FLUSH WAIT, to ensure that these skipping setting changes are safely accepted and become effective in the NC program.

For more information see [FCT-M6].

For compatibility reasons the skip level without a number "/" and “/1” have the same meaning.

/<1 - 10> N..
