Names Meaning Description
The timers of the system variables must be activated channel-specifically:

The system variables are reset to default values on each control power-up.
The timers are automatically activated with the standard machine data for SINUMERIK 802D.
Note
The system variables can be accessed at any time by reading from the HMI operator
interface.
Examples
• Activating the runtime measurement for the active NC program (no measurement with
active dry run feedrate and program testing):
$MC_PROCESSTIMER_MODE = 'H2'
• Activating the measurement for the tool action time (measurement also with dry run
feedrate and program testing):
$MC_PROCESSTIMER_MODE = 'H34'
• Activating the measurement for the total runtime and the tool action time (measurement
also with program test):
$MC_PROCESSTIMER_MODE = 'H25'
