Determining the run time of programs

NC FAQ1080

Question:

Can the running time of a program be read-out or saved?

Answer:

With the function FN18 ID 320 you can read out the system time of the control, indicated in seconds. If you read out the system time with this function at the beginning and end of the program, you can calculate how long the program ran, and save this information in a freely definable table or a log, if desired.
