SENS
Sensitivity (aggressiveness) of regulation. A value 
between 50 and 200 can be entered. 50 is for slow 
control, 200 for a very aggressive control. An aggressive 
control reacts quickly and with strong changes to the 
values, but it tends to overshoot. Recommended value: 
100
PLC
Value that the TNC is to transfer to the PLC at the 
beginning of a machining step. The machine tool builder 
defines the function, so refer to your machine manual.
In the AFC.TAB table you can define as many control 
settings (lines) as desired.
If there is no AFC.TAB table in the TNC:\ directory, the TNC 
uses permanently defined internal control settings for the 
teach-in cut. It is best, however, to work with the AFC.TAB 
table.
