Paramacros
Chapter 28
28-28
#5095 to 5096
Probe stylus Length and Radius
These parameters correspond to the values set in the probing cycle
parameter table discussed in chapter 27. When values are assigned to these
parameters, the current values in the probe table is replaced.
5095
Probe stylus Length
5096
Probe stylus Radius
For details on probe radius and length parameters, see chapter 27 on tool gauging.
#5101 to 5112
Current Following Error
These parameters are read-only. They correspond to the current following
error for an axis.
5101
Axis 1 following error
5107
Axis 7 following error
5102
Axis 2 following error
5108
Axis 8 following error
5103
Axis 3 following error
5109
Axis 9 following error
5104
Axis 4 following error
5110
Axis 10 following error
5105
Axis 5 following error
5111
Axis 11 following error
5106
Axis 6 following error
5112
Axis 12 following error
The system installer determines in AMP the name (or word) that is used to
define the axis. The following error of a system constantly changes. You
can use this parameter to take a “snapshot” of the following error, but the
value that is read may not the current following error of the system.
#5201 to 5212
External Offset Amount
These parameters are read or write. They correspond to the current value
set in the work coordinate table for the external offset (see chapter 3). This
allows the reading of data from the tables and also the setting of data into
the table by assigning values to the parameters.
5201
Axis 1 offset amount
5207
Axis 7 offset amount
5202
Axis 2 offset amount
5208
Axis 8 offset amount
5203
Axis 3 offset amount
5209
Axis 9 offset amount
5204
Axis 4 offset amount
5210
Axis 10 offset amount
5205
Axis 5 offset amount
5211
Axis 11 offset amount
5206
Axis 6 offset amount
5212
Axis 12 offset amount
The system installer determines in AMP the name (or word) that is used to
define the axis. Changes made to the external offset using this paramacro
variable go into effect only after the axis has been re-homed, or power to
the control has been cycled.
