8.6 M Functions (M Strobe)
8.6.1 Assigning M functions to the machining channels
1548
In the control you can program miscellaneous functions, also known as
M functions. The code of an M function is transferred to the PLC before or
after execution of the NC block.
Certain M functions are reserved for the NC or have fixed meanings for the
NC. The other M functions are freely available and are evaluated by the PLC.
The structure of the M Functions menu in the DIN/ISO mode of the
smart.Turn Programming mode can be adapted to the available M functions.
M functions are channel-sensitive. M functions are configured in two steps:
In the channel-sensitive parameter MP_mStrobes, you define a key name
for each M function used in this machining channel. In this way, you assign
the M functions to this machining channel.
In the parameter object System/PLC/CfgPlcMStrobe, you configure the
M function.
