3.1.7 Flexible plane selection

Press the “STORE PLANE”.
The selected plane is transferred into the part program. In the
subsequent operator guidance (e.g. “CONTOUR” or
“MACHINING CYCLES”) the axis are automatically displayed
in the parameter input forms.

Press softkey “G16 PLANE”.
The axis names for the abscissa, ordinate and applicate must
now be entered manually, so that they are defined for further
operator guidance.

However you can define a new plane as well.

Press the “STORE PLANE” softkey.
The previously defined axis names behind the G16 function
are transferred into the part program.

Caution:
The functions “SIMULATION” and “CONTOUR” only work on the axes defined to DIN. On the
M version these are the 1st to the 3rd axis, on the T version they are the 1st to the 2nd axes.
If you have used other axes than these via the flexible plane selection, it could cause errors in
simulation and machining (“CONTOUR”).
Modifications of the planes for the “CONTOUR” function also affect the definition of the
selectable plane G16, i.e. the corresponding axis names of the selected plane are transferred
for G16.
The plane definition for the “CONTOUR” function via G16 (G17 to G19) also applies to the
“CONTOUR” function.
The axis names themselves are defined in machine data and apply to every plane selection.

Note:
A fixed channel-specific initial setting can be defined in the 2nd G group for the machining
plane via MD 110* (see Section 7.3.4).
Example: standard plane G18 for turning or G17 for drilling.

How this basic setting is defined is described in Section 7.3.4 “Definition of the initial setting of
the G groups”.
