SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

F8 (Prog) Main-Parms-Prog

This set of parameters gives the machine programmer access to all the internal parameters the

CNC is using to execute a program. Normally these parameters would be used for display

purposes only as an aid to program debugging. However, it is possible to read and change these

parameters in a parametric program. Great care must be taken when doing this because these

parameters are used directly by the CNC to produce the next machine movement or

function. These parameters are displayed and edited in the same manner as the coordinate

parameters. The following is a list and description of these parameters.

P200 thru P207 Contains the previous programmed position relative to the

current work offsets of the enabled axis

P200=X P201=Y P202=Z . . . etc

P208 thru P215 Contains the current programmed position relative to the

current work offsets of the enabled axis

P208=X P209=Y P210=Z . . . etc

P216 thru P223 Contains the previous machine position relative to the

machine zero of the enabled axis

P216=X P217=Y P218=Z . . . etc

P224 thru P231 Contains the current machine position relative to the

machine zero of the enabled axis

P224=X P225=Y P226=Z . . . etc
