2.11 Supplementary conditions and NC VAR selector
Figure 2-19
After the "NC VAR selector" application has been started, select a list of variables of an NC
variant (hard disk → file Ncv.mdb) to display all the variables contained in this list in a
window.
In SW V6.3 and higher, the variable lists ncv*.mdb are separated according to:
NC variables including machine and setting data:
Machine data for 611D drive:
Machine data for 611D linear drive:
Machine data of the 611D drive, Performance 2:
Machine data of the 611D linear drive, Performance 2:
Machine data of the hydraulic drive:
The user can also transfer variables to a second list (separate window). This latter selection
of variables can then be stored in an ASCII file or edited as a STEP 7 source file (.awl) and
stored.
Once he has generated a PLC data block by means of the STEP 7 compiler, the
programmer is able to read or write NCK variables via the basic program function blocks
"PUT" and "GET" using the STEP 7 file.
The list of selected variables is also stored as an ASCII file (file extension .var).
The variable list supplied with the "NC VAR selector" tool is adapted to the current NC
software version. This list does not contain any variables (GUD variables) defined by the
user. These variables are processed by the function block FB 5 in the basic program.
