Programming with Q Parameters
Output through an external data interface
The function FN15: PRINT transfers the values of Q parameters and error
messages through the data interface, for example to a printer.
• FN15: PRINT with numerical values up to 200
0 to 99:
Dialog texts for manufacturers cycles
100 to 199:
PLC error messages
200:
ETX character
e.g. FN15: PRINT 20
Transfers the corresponding dialog text.
• FN15: PRINT with Q parameter
e.g. FN15: PRINT Q20
Transfers the value of the corresponding Q parameter.
You can transfer up to 6 Q parameters and numerical values simultane-
ously. The TNC separates them with slashes.
e.g. FN15: PRINT 1/Q1/2/Q2
• If you wish to interrupt the part program when FN15 is active, press the CLOSE RS-232-C soft key to close
the interface.
• If you wish to transfer values to a PC using FN 15, the TNC will create the file %FN15RUN.A on the PC and
the transfered values will be saved there.
Transfer to the PLC
The function FN19: PLC transfers up to two numerical values or Q
parameters to the PLC.
Increments and units: 0.1 µm or 0.0001°
Example FN19: PLC = +10/+Q3
The numerical value 10 means 1 µm or 0.001°.
