Channel parameters

P-CHAN-00489

Display motion range limits in PCS coordinate system

Description

This parameter enables a display of the software limits in the PCS coordinate system. All offsets are considered (e.g. zero point or tool offsets) and Cartesian transformations (#CS). In order to consider active mirroring functions (G21-G23, G351) the channel parameter P-CHAN-00434 must also be activated..

A display of PCS limits is not possible for axes that are a component of an active kinematic transformation. In this case, the limits are set to +/-1E200.

Offset limits for manual mode are not considered in this review.

If the display of PCS motion range limits is activated, the limits can be requested by CNC objects in the data of the interpolator axes of the GEO task,

Parameter

display_pcs_limits

Data type

BOOLEAN

Data range

0: The PCS display of motion range limits is disabled.

1: PCS motion range limits are calculated and supplied.

Dimension

Default value

0

Remarks

NOTE: A display of PCS limits is not possible for axes that are a component of an active kinematic transformation (#TRAFO) is not possible.

This function is available as of CNC Build V3.1.3079.32.

P-CHAN-00498

Behaviour with programmed software limit switches

Description

This parameter defines the limitation behaviour for programming software limits switches in the NC program using G98 and G99.

As of CNC Build V3.1.3077.0 it is permitted to increase the range of the software limits switches in the NC program.

If this behaviour is not required, the limitation can be activated to the parameterised software limit switches of the corresponding axis parameter list:. (P-AXIS-00177 and P-AXIS-00178)

The programmed values for the software limit switches are then limited to the values in the corresponding axis parameter list and the warning ID 21648 or ID 21650 is output.

Parameter

range_check_prog_soft_limits

Data type

BOOLEAN

Data range

0: No limitation of the programmed values

1: Limitation of the programmed values to the range of the software limit switches
