This option controls whether the Z value in cycle blocks is output in absolute or incremental mode. The Z value can be output several ways:
As an absolute coordinate in a cycle block
As an incremental value measured from the rapid stop point.
As an absolute incremental value measured from the rapid stop point.
Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL./OPTION,41,TO,0 $$ Output Z as absolute value (default).
PLABEL./OPTION,41,TO,1 $$ Output Z as incremental value.
PLABEL./OPTION,41,TO,2 $$ Output Z as absolute incremental value.
Choose the proper radio button that describes the tool change positioning block for your control.
Do not output tool change positioning block.
Output Tool change positioning block with XYZ values.
Output Tool change positioning block with XYZABC values.
Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,42,TO,0 $$ Generate XYZ positioning block (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,42,TO,1 $$ Do not generate positioning block.
PLABEL/OPTION,42,TO,2 $$ Generate XYZABC positioning block.
This option controls output for linear motion blocks. Some controls will not allow XYZ motion in the same block. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,43,TO,0 $$ XYZ IN ONE BLOCK (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,43,TO,1 $$ XY followed by Z.
PLABEL/OPTION,43,TO,2 $$ Z followed by XY.
Some imported controllers have built-in retract capabilities that cause a crash condition if the postprocessor performs motion analysis and outputs a CYCLE/OFF code. Do not check this box if you wish to suppress the motion analysis and force out cycle motion in one block.
Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,44,TO,0 $$ Default CYCLE motion analysis (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,44,TO,1 $$ CYCLE motion in one block.
This option controls how the postprocessor operates on FROM statements. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,45,TO,0 $$ Ignore any FROM statement encountered in the part program.
PLABEL/OPTION,45,TO,1 $$ Process only the first FROM statement encountered in the part program.
PLABEL/OPTION,45,TO,2 $$ Process all From statements encountered in the part program (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,45,TO,3 $$ Process only the first FROM statement and output it as a motion block.
This option controls the M-code to be output when the Auto Break feature generates a break sequence. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,46,TO,30 $$ Default M-code is 30 for Auto Break (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,46,TO,nn $$ Output Mnn for Auto Break.
Also see the postprocessor command MACHIN.
This option controls the output of the lead value in the IJK registers as generated by the postprocessor command ARCSLP. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,47,TO,0 $$ Absolute value of lead in radians (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,47,TO,1 $$ Lead in radians.
PLABEL/OPTION,47,TO,2 $$ Absolute value of lead in inch or metric units.
PLABEL/OPTION,47,TO,3 $$ Lead in inch or metric units.
This field provides the option to cause the postprocessor to calculate the inverse time feedrate using one of two methods for MULTAX moves only. These values for non MULTAX moves can be resolved mathematically.
The iterative method is the default and is usually the most accurate. It will cause the postprocessor to calculate the distance of the move based on the points from the input file.
The analytical method uses the rtheta method. The postprocessor will attempt to calculate the tool tip distance from the center of rotation and the approximate angular displacement of the move.
Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,48,TO,0 $$ Use iterative method (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,48,TO,1 $$ Use analytical method
This option is used for the handling the last point in a circular motion record if it falls outside of the true arc of the circle. Many toolpath generating systems use an iterative method for producing the toolpath for circular tool motion. In such cases a record is passed to the postprocessor indicating the following motion records are to be used for machining a radius or circle. If the tolerance band is sufficiently large it is possible that the last calculated point is outside the calculated arc of the radius or circle. This option provides several methods for handling these cases. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,49,TO,0 $$ Do not correct for last CL point not being on true arc (default).
PLABEL/OPTION,49,TO,1 $$ Output linear move if last CL point is not on true arc.
PLABEL/OPTION,49,TO,2 $$ Make correction to radius, skipping linear move at end.
