1 General Information
1.1 General Information
A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is a special computer used to con-
trol a machine tool, robot or transfer system. Like a personal computer,
the CNC control has its own operating system, which is specifically de-
signed for numerical applications, as well as so-called control software
installed on this operating system.
The controller software translates the CNC-program into a language
which the controller can understand.
Details relating to a particular CNC machine tool, robot, or transfer system
may be found in the machine builder's manual. The machine builder's
information takes precedence over the information provided in this Pro-
gramming Manual.
The programming examples are based on DIN 66025/ISO Draft 6983/2
along with the additional features implemented by INDRAMAT GmbH.
All geometric volumes are metric.
Combinations in the NC syntax and other functions which are not de-
scribed in this programming manual may also execute on the controller.
However, we make no warranties as to the proper functioning of these
combinations and functions upon initial shipment and in the event of
service.
We reserve the right to make changes based on technical advancements.
This Programming Manual is valid for the CNC having:
Graphical user interface effective version: 05.17/VRS
Operating software effective version: 03.17/VRS
Note
Boxes identified by this symbol describe a specific functional
behavior which is dependent on parameter settings.
