Skip block / ignore block

Specific NC blocks can be skipped by prefixing them with a "/" character. The controller ignores NC blocks if the function "Skip block" is activated before main program start by a BOOL command on the operating console (HMI) or by the SPS.

The function defines optional processing steps in an NC program such as measuring loops, test blocks, etc.

Notice

The enable/disable status of the Skip block function is taken over at program start and remains effective until program end.

In Builds up to V3.01.3021.01, any change in skip settings while an NC program is active only becomes effective at the next main program start. The extended skipping function is then available in higher Builds.
