Technology functions

The placement of technology functions in the NC program is especially important with perpendicular selection or deselection since this determines the output time.

When perpendicular TRC is selected, the arrangement of selection block, technology function and the first motion block is decisive for the output time.

When perpendicular TRC is deselected the arrangement of technology block and the last compensated motion block is decisive for the output time.

The programming examples below and corresponding figures illustrate this.

N240 G01 X30

N250 X25 Y-20

N260 G90 X200 Y0 (absolute programming)

N270 G00 X0

N999 M30

The technology function M9 in the figure below is output immediately before before the output of the perpendicular deselection block. The technology function must be placed between the last block to be compensated and the perpendicular deselection of TRC.

The technology function M8 is executed after the selection block generated. For this placement, it is absolutely necessary that it is not placed in the same block as TRC selection and that there is no motion block between the selection block and the technology function.
