$NP_DIR
$NP_ANG
The system variables are described in detail in the following sections.
Note
Establish a defined initial state
It is recommended that a defined initial state be generated before parameterizing the protection
area elements. To do this, set the system variables of the protection area elements to their
default values with the DELOBJ() (Page 205) function.
Change system variable values
If the value of one of the system variables listed above is changed, the change becomes
immediately visible at the user interface, e.g. SINUMERIK Operate. The machine model of the
NC is only updated after explicitly requesting that the machine model is recalculated by calling
the PROTA() (Page 277) or PROTS() (Page 278) function.
6.2.4.2

$NP_NAME

Function
Enter the NC-wide unique protection area element name in the system variable. The protection
area element is referenced via this name. The name is also displayed in the graphical editor
of SINUMERIK Operate.
Syntax
$NK_NAME[<n>] = "<name>"
