Clearing a current configuration (#CLEAR CONFIG)

The command #CLEAR CONFIG completely clears the last configuration saved. A #LOAD CONFIG programmed directly after causes the error message "No restorable configuration found". This means that #SAVE CONFIG must first be used to save a configuration again before it can be restored with #LOAD CONFIG.

For the machine operator, a #CLEAR CONFIG is always helpful if he wants to prevent access to a configuration that may have been incorrectly saved to different NC programs.

Programing Example

Deleting a saved configuration

Execute clearance program, then delete the saved configuration:

%Clearance

N10 G53

N35 #LOAD CONFIG [AX AXLINK]   ;Restore the saved axis

                               ;configuration and axis couplings

                               ;under coupling group 1

N40# ECS ON          ;Define an effector CS to execute

                     ;withdrawal strategy

N.. X.. Y.. Z..

:

N200 #AX LINK OFF ALL

:

N.. X.. Y.. Z..

N.. #CLEAR CONFIG; Clear saved configuration after

                     ;the withdrawal motion ends
