3.10 Displaying G and auxiliary functions
While the workpiece is being machined, if you want to know, for
example, whether the tool tip radius compensation is currently active
or which unit of measurement is being used, you can activate display
of the G functions or auxiliary functions.
16 different G groups are displayed under "G function". Within a G-
group, only the G-functions that are currently active in the NCK
appear. In addition, you can see the currently active transformation in
the top line of the window.
As an alternative, all G groups with all associated G functions are
listed in "All G Func.".
Auxiliary functions include M and H functions preprogrammed by the
machine manufacturer, which pass parameters to the PLC to trigger
reactions defined by the manufacturer.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
A maximum of five M functions and three H functions are displayed.
You can have the G-functions that are currently active in the NCK
displayed during execution of a sequential control program too, since
the ShopTurn functions are internally translated into G-code.
