Solution in principle for the clearing of differing contours
NC FAQ1006
Question:
It should be possible to machine selectable contours with SL2 cycles in a program.
Answer:
In the SL cycles a subprogram, named in Cycle 14, can be written consisting of solely of CALL PGM / Call LBL commands for using a selectable contour from another (main) program.
Global solution:
CYC DEF 14 ... 10
LBL10
CALL PGM 4711.h (or TNC:\Path\4711.h)
LBL 0
PGM 4711 can therefore be started by any program, and so only one instance is necessary.
Furthermore, a LBL number can be determined by a Q parameter as follows.
Local solution:
Q30 = 20
CYC DEF 14 ... 10
LBL10
CALL LBL Q30
LBL 0
