Block search interface and parameters

Validity of block search parameters

The block search parameters (block search type, continuation position display) are defined before the start of the NC program. At program start, the current data is adopted in the start parameters. Any further change in block search parameters after program start has no more influence on the running program.

Availability on the HMI

Assigning parameter before program start avoids time-critical situations. The parameters are available on the HMI and access is made via the PLC by read/write requests with CNC objects.
