Function
The NEWCONF command is used to set all machine data of the "NEW_CONFIG"

NEWCONF
Significance
NEWCONF:
Cross-channel execution of NEWCONF from the part program
If changes are made to axial machine data from the part program and then activated with
NEWCONF, NEWCONF will only activate the machine data containing changes affecting the part
program channel.
Note
In order to ensure that all changes are applied, the NEWCONF command must be executed in
every channel in which the axes or functions affected by the changes to the machine data
are being calculated.
No axial machine data are effective for NEWCONF.
An axial RESET must be performed for axes controlled by the PLC.
