Machine parameter MP2050 defines a distance to the last eroded position for traverse at the feed
rate from MP1090 or MP2060, or from the NC program. From this point on the characteristic curve
is active again.
MP1090
Feed rate for reapproach
Entry value: 0 to 30 000 [mm/min]
MP2060
Feed rate for retraction during erosion (M2620)
Entry value: 1 to 500 [mm/min]
MP2050
Distance to eroded position during reapproach (M2617)
Entry value: 1 to 500 [µm]

4.4 Arc recognition
If a voltage between 0 V and 2.5 V (negative feed rate) is measured at the analog input for the
duration entered in machine parameter MP2120, the control positions the electrode to the beginning
of the last executed erosion block and switches erosion off with M37. Then the error message
"ERODING ERROR" is output. Marker M2788 is set at the same time.
If the control should automatically continue the program run, the start marker M2642 must be set by
the PLC. Marker M2788 is then reset by the NC, the error message is cleared and the reapproach
point is sought. If it is found, the control resumes program execution at the reapproach point. If the
reapproach point is not found, the NC program is at the program beginning, since the search is
aborted at the END PGM block of the main program.
