Configuration Of A Multi-Spindle Turning Machine - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

B3: Several operator panels connected to several NCUs, distributed systems - only 840D sl
2.15 Examples
N2150 WHILE (rl == $AN_AXCTAS[ctl])
Note
Programming in the NC program:
WHILE ($AN_AXCTSWA[n] == 0)
ENDWHILE
cannot be used as a reliable method of determining whether an earlier axis container rotation
has finished. Although in software version 7.x and later, $AN_AXCTSWA performs an
implicit preprocessing stop, this type of programming cannot be used, as the block can be
interrupted by a reorganization. The system variable then returns "0" as the axis container
rotation is then ended.
