Fundamentals
With the TNC's miscellaneous functions—also called M functions
—you can affect
the program run, e.g. a program interruption
the machine functions, such as switching spindle rotation and
coolant supply on and off
the path behavior of the tool
The machine tool builder may add some M functions
that are not described in this User's Manual. Refer to
your machine manual.
You can enter up to four M (miscellaneous) functions at the end
of a positioning block or in a separate block. The TNC displays the
following dialog question: Miscellaneous function M?
You usually enter only the number of the miscellaneous function
in the programming dialog. Some miscellaneous functions can be
programmed with additional parameters. In this case, the dialog is
continued for the parameter input.
In the Manual Operation and El. Handwheel operating modes, the
M functions are entered with the M soft key.
