Introduction

Contents
This chapter describes the technology cycles from version 2.6 onwards for creating external
NC programs.
Structure
The documentation is structured as follows:
• Programming
Cycle name and call sequence of the transfer parameters
• Parameters
Tables to explain the individual parameters
Parameter description
The table contains the names of the parameters used internally and an explanation of what
they mean and the possible value range. The relationships between the parameters are also
explained. The column for reference to the parameter in the mask is to be used to locate
programmed values again when externally generated cycle calls to the controller are
recompiled.
"For interface only" parameters
Certain parameters are marked "for interface only" in the table. These are not relevant to
operation of the cycle. They are only needed in order to be able to recompile cycle calls
completely. If they are not programmed the cycle can still be recompiled; the fields are then
identified by color and must be completed in the mask.
"Reserved" parameters
Parameters that are described as "reserved" must be programmed with the value 0 or a
comma so that the assignment of the following call parameters matches up with the internal
cycle parameters. Exception: string parameters with the value "" or a comma.
