Create master value
As an option, master values can be generated with other self-programmed methods. The
master values generated in this way are written to and read from variables
- $AA_LEAD_SP
- $AA_LEAD_SV
Before you use these variables, the setting data
Status of coupling
You can query the status of the coupling in the NC program with the following system
variable:
$AA_COUP_ACT[[axis]]
0: No coupling active
16: Master value coupling active
Status management for synchronized actions
Switching and coupling events are managed via real-time variables:
$AC_MARKER[i] = n
managed with:
i flag number
n status value
