TE7: Continue machining - retrace support
15.6 Retrace support

Retrace support
15.6.1
General
Retrace support refers to the entire operation from initiation of retracing through the interface
signal DB21, ... DBX0.2 = 1 (start machining continuation) up to to the continuation of the part
program processing of the programmed contour.
Requirement
In order for retrace support to function, the retrace mode, launched by means of the request
for reverse travel, must be active in the channel:
DB21, ... DBX32.1 = 1 (retrace mode active)
See Functional sequence (principle) [Page 614].
Subfunctions
The two essential subfunctions of retrace support are the standard NC functions:
•
Block search with calculation at contour
•
Repositioning on the contour via shortest route (REPOS RMN)
15.6.2
Block search with calculation on contour
Function
The block search with calculation on the contour initiated implicitly by RESU within the
framework of the retrace support has the following tasks:
•
Set the program pointer on the part program block on which repositioning was done with
the help of Reverse / Forward travel
•
Calculates the axis positions on the basis of the programmed traversing blocks from the
start of the part program to the target block
•
Collates the instructions programmed from the start of the part program to the target block,
which are executed in the action block. These include:
-
-
-
-
All part program instructions which are not executed in the action block but are required for
retrace support in the part program must be entered manually in the RESU-specific retrace
support ASUB CC_RESU_BS_ASUP.SPF, e.g.:
634
