Compile cycles are functional expansions of the NCK system software that can
be created by the operator and/or by Siemens and then imported in the control
later.
As part of the open NCK system architecture, compile cycles have comprehen-
sive access to data and functions of the NCK system level via defined software
interfaces. Therefore, you can use compile cycles to expand the functionality of
the NCK as much as you require or redefine it as far as allowed by the inter-
faces.
Including a compile cycle in the NCK system software is performed by loading
the compile cycle into the file system of the NCK. The compile cycle can be
loaded at any time.
The following technological functions and more are available from Siemens as
compile cycles:
-- 1D/3D Distance control in the position controller cycle

Output TE8
When you order one of the listed technological functions, you are given the cor-
responding software license number. To obtain the compile cycle in the form of
a loadable file (.ELF extension for executable and linking format), please con-
tact your regional Siemens sales partner.
Note
Compile cycles created by Siemens are options that require explicit activation
and licensing.
