Monitor additional axes

Besides the main axes. X, Y, Z can adopt additional axes in the monitoring function for work spaces and protection spaces. In this case, the definition of the assigned control areas is limited to polygonal shapes. The control areas are defined using the associated axis identifiers.

Programing Example

prg_example

Define a work space for the additional axes X2, Y2 and Z2

:

N10 #CONTROL AREA BEGIN [ID4 WORK POLY MIN_EXCUR=-50 MAX_EXCUR=50]

N20 G01 F1000 G90 X2=100 Y2=100   ;Starting point

N30 X2=-100

N40 Y2=-100

N50 X2=100

N60 X2 = 100 Y2= 100   ; End point identical with starting point

N70 #CONTROL AREA END

:

N500 #CONTROL AREA ON  ALL
