Overview of DIN commands
„ Traversing commands
For moving the slide on a linear or circular path.
„ Cycles
For roughing, recessing, finishing, threading, and drilling.
„ Switching commands
For machine components.
„ Zero point shifts
For adjusting the dimensional system.
„ Commands for program organization
Program branches, program repeats and subprograms.
„ Comments
For explaining the program.
„ Variable functions
Instead of fixed address parameters, you can use variables which
are entered or calculated before execution of the program.
„ Mathematical operations
For calculating address parameters or variables.
„ Simplified programming
Values (coordinates) which have not been dimensioned in the
workpiece drawing are calculated by MANUALplus, if
mathematically possible.
„ Operator communication
Via input of variable values and output of texts and variables.
Not all of these functions are performed by NC commands (G
commands, M commands, etc). Some of these functions such as
"simplified programming," "variable functions" or "mathematical
operations" can be used for programming with variables, working with
simplified geometry, etc. Instead of a fixed value, you then enter a
variable, mathematical expression or question mark "?" for the address
parameter.
