Variable |
Default format |
Use and Comments |
|
CON_CONTEXT |
6 |
The context of the current connection. May be one of the following predefined values: CON_AFTER_TOOL after a tool change CON_PROC at the beginning of a procedure CON_CYCLE between drill cycles CON_5X_SWAP switching 5X solutions |
|
CON_SCENARIO |
0 |
The name of the scenario selected by GPP2 for this connection. GPP2 sets the variable to one of the following strings: "short" for short connections "long" for long connections "tool-change" for connections after a tool change "through-safe" for connections that should go through the safe position. The EX2 program may change this variable and select another scenario name. |
|
CON_ROTATION_A |
2 |
The absolute value, in degrees, of the alpha axis rotation during the current connection. |
|
CON_ROTATION_B |
2 |
The absolute value, in degrees, of the beta axis rotation during the current connection. |
|
CON_DISTANCE |
1 |
The distance, in the REF UCS, from the connection start point to its target point. This number is not correct in connections after a tool change, since the start point is not truly known. |
|
CON_TO_CYCLE |
6 |
Set to TRUE_ if the cutting operation after the connection is a drill cycle, FALSE_ if it is a milling operation. |
|
CON_AFTR_RECONFIG |
6 |
Set to TRUE_ if this connection takes place immediately after a machine reconfiguration process. It is FALSE_ in all other cases. |
|
X_CONNECT |
1 |
Target connection point, in the posting UCS coordinate system. |
|
A_CONNECT B_CONNECT |
2 |
Connection target angles for "alpha" and "beta" rotary axes (4/5 axes machines). |
|
SEG_A_MIN |
2 |
Minimum and maximum values of the Alpha and Beta axes in the coming 5X segment. Available in BEGINNING OF CONNECT block in 5X continuous procedures. |
