Working with Cycles

Graphic Support During Cycle Programming

As you create a program, the TNC provides you with graphic illustra-

tions of the input parameters.

Calling a Cycle

The following cycles are effective as soon as they are defined:

• Cycles for coordinate transformations

• DWELL TIME cycle

• The SL cycles CONTOUR GEOMETRY and CONTOUR DATA

• Point patterns

• TOLERANCE cycle

All other cycles go into effect when they are called through

• CYCL CALL: effective for one block

• CYCL CALL PAT: used non-modally in connection with point tables

• M99: effective for one block

• M89: effective until canceled (depends on machine parameter

settings)
