Additional functions
A complete list of additional functions is contained in the overview of commands in the Appendix under Additional functions (#..).
Additional functions are a separate group of NC text commands. The permit the programming of specific extensions and technological processes which are covered by DIN/ISO programming. The syntax for additional functions is:
#<string> <spezifische Zusatzsyntax> |
#<string> | Plaintext command. Between # and <string> no blanks are permitted. |
<specific additional syntax> | Subsequent command-specific syntax elements which are programmed as additional strings directly or within brackets. |
Attention
Each # command must be configured alone in a separate NC line. Any exceptions are specifically pointed out.
Notice
If not otherwise displayed explicitly, commas “,” and equals signs “=” are optional in the specific additional syntax and are only used to improve the legibility of the NC program.
Example:
#STRING [A_VALUE 10 B_VALUE 20] ←→ #STRING [A_VALUE =10, B_VALUE=20]
