Defining a counter

Application
Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine manufacturer enables this function.
The FUNCTION COUNT function allows you to control a simple
counter from within the NC program. For example, this function
allows you to count the number of manufactured workpieces.
Proceed as follows for the definition:
Show the soft key row with special functions
Press the PROGRAM FUNCTIONS soft key
Press the FUNCTION COUNT soft key
Caution: Data may be lost!
Only one counter can be managed by the control. If you execute
an NC program that resets the counter, any counter progress of
another NC program will be deleted.
Please check prior to machining whether a counter is active.
If necessary, note down the counter value and enter it again
via the MOD menu after execution.
You can use Cycle 225 to engrave the current counter
value into the workpiece.

Sequence operating modes
The count from the MOD menu is only effective in the Program
Run Single Block and Program Run Full Sequence operating
modes.
The count is retained even after a restart of the control.
