NCK digital inputs

Function
The workpiece-machining program sequence can be controlled by external signals via digital
NCK inputs.
The signal state of digital input <n> can be scanned directly in the part program using
system variable $A_IN [<n>].
The signal state at the hardware input can be changed from the PLC user program.
Applications
Digital NCK inputs are used, for example, for the following NC functions:
● Delete distance-to-go with positioning axes
● Fast program branching at the end of block
● Programmed read-in disable
● Several feedrates in one block
