Function
Channels
A channel can process its own program independently of other channels. It can control the
axes and spindles temporarily assigned to it via the program.
Two or more channels can be set up for the control during startup.
Program coordination
If several channels are involved in the machining of a workpiece it may be necessary to
synchronize the programs.
There are special statements (commands) for this program coordination. Each statement is
programmed separately in a block.
Note
Program coordination is also possible in its own channels.
