Activating the contour handwheel via the NC program

The contour handwheel function can help you with the first cutting test after you create a new NC program. When you have
activated this function, you can control the feedrate of path and synchronized axes via a handwheel in "AUTO" or "MDA"
mode.
Preconditions
● You must not select fixed feedrate, dry-run feedrate, thread cutting, or tapping.
Note
If you have not programmed the feedrate in the previous blocks, the control system prompts an alarm which indicates the
absence of feedrate.
● The option of "Contour handwheel" is activated with a license key. For more information about how to activate an option,
see the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED Commissioning Manual.
● You have assigned the handwheel to the first geometric axis and activated it. For more information, see Section
"Assigning the handwheel (Page 21)".
● You have set the increment value with the override increment keys on the MCP. For more information about how to set
the variable increment values, see Section "Screen layout (Page 12)".
