Column

Function

OVLD

Desired reaction of the TNC to overload:

M: Execution of a macro defined by the machine
tool builder
S: Immediate NC stop
F: NC stop if the tool has been retracted
E: Just display an error message on the screen
-: No overload reaction

The TNC conducts a shutdown response if the
maximum spindle power is exceeded for more than
one second and at the same time the feed rate falls
below the minimum you defined. Enter the desired
function via the ASCII keyboard.

POUT

Spindle power at which the TNC is to detect tool
exit from the workpiece. Enter the value in percent
of the learned reference load. Recommended input
value: 8 %

SENS

Sensitivity (aggressiveness) of feedback control. 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:\table

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.
