Q parameters are designated by letters and a number between 0 and
1999. Parameters that take effect in different manners are available.
Please refer to the following table:
QS
parameters (the S stands for string) are also available on the TNC
and enable you to process texts. In principle, the same ranges are
available for QS parameters as for Q parameters (see table above).
Meaning
Range
Freely applicable parameters, as long as no
overlapping with SL cycles can occur, globally
effective for all programs stored in the TNC
memory
Q0
to Q99
Parameters for special TNC functions
Q100
to Q199
Parameters that are primarily used for cycles,
globally effective for all programs stored in the
TNC memory
Q200
to Q1199
Parameters that are primarily used for OEM
cycles, globally effective for all programs stored
in the TNC memory. This may require
coordination with the machine manufacturer or
supplier.
Q1200
to Q1399
Parameters that are primarily used for
call-active OEM cycles, globally effective for all
programs that are stored in the TNC memory
Q1400
to Q1499
Parameters that are primarily used for
Def-active OEM cycles, globally effective for all
programs that are stored in the TNC memory
Q1500
to Q1599
Freely applicable parameters, globally effective
for all programs stored in the TNC memory
Q1600
to Q1999
Note that for the QS parameters the QS100 to QS199 range
is reserved for internal texts.
