Activation, preactivation and deactivation via part program
The activation status of a protection zone can be changed in the part program at any time via
the following functions:
● Channel-specific protection zone:
CPROT(<n>, <state>[, <xMov>, <yMov>, <zMov>])
● Machine-specific protection zone:
NPROT(<n>, <state>[, <xMov>, <yMov>, <zMov>])
Parameters
<n>:
<state>:
<xMov>,
<yMov>,
<zMov>:
Note
A protection zone is only taken into account after the referencing of all geometry axes of the
channel in which it has been activated.
