Boundary condition for replacement subroutines
The following supplementary conditions apply to replacement subroutines:
• Replacements in synchronized actions are not permitted
• Replacements in technology cycles are not permitted
• A part program line that contains language constructs to be replaced at the block start
may not be placed in front of any block-wise synchronized actions.
• Only the actions required for the respective replacements can be performed in the
replacement cycle.
• The system does not monitor whether the user actually replaces the respective function
in the replacement cycle. Therefore, if the user fails to implement this correctly, the actual
intended function can be omitted.
2.12 2.12 Program runtime/workpiece counter
2.12.1 Function
The functions: "Program runtime" and "Workpiece counting" are not identical to the
corresponding tool management functions, but are intended to support machines, which
have no explicit tool management.
2.12.2 Program runtime
Function
The function "Program runtime" makes the NC internal timers available to monitor
technological processes via system variables.
