CNC Example 4: CNC by means of table editor
See the corresponding sample project CNC_table.project.
Here the functionality of the sample project CNCprepro.project is programmed by
means of the table editor of the CNC Editor. Unlike in CNCprepro in CNC_table no IEC
variables are used, so the parameters are set with fix values. Otherwise the
functionality is identical.
CNC Example 5: CNC from file
See the corresponding sample project CNC_File.project.
With this example you can comprehend the reading in of a ASCII file with G-code
program in IEC code. This makes sense when the G-code program is very large.
Here the functionality of the project is like the functionality in the CNCOnline.project,
but he G-Code program is read form an ASCII file and no IEC variables are used. The
parameters are set with fix values. The processing order is like there in the
CNC_Online.project, too.
All in all you can find following differences:
1. additional virtual drive (Z axis)
2. function block smoothpath is not needed
3. G-Code is read from file
4. preprocessing is online (see CNC-Online.project)
5. additional function block ReadNCFile
6. Visu template available
