$P_TRAFO_CHAIN [4]
Programmed chained transformation
INT
Description:
$P_TRAFO_CHAIN[n]
Code numbers of chained transformations of programmed TRACON according to machine data $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_m.
Supplies the code number of the nth chained transformation of the programmed TRACON, starting with n=0.
$P_TRAFO_CHAIN[0] is the 1st chained transformation if a TRACON is programmed. If a TRACON command is not programmed, the code
number of the programmed transformation is returned (e.g. 257 for TRANSMIT). If there is no transformation programmed, the value '0' is
returned.
$P_TRAFO_CHAIN[1] is the 2nd chained transformation if a TRACON is programmed. Otherwise a '0' is returned.
The same applies accordingly for $P_TRAFO_CHAIN[2] and $P_TRAFO_CHAIN[3].
Index 1:
n: Index of the chained transformation.

Supplies the code number of the nth chained transformation of the active TRACON, starting with n=0.
$AC_TRAFO_CHAIN[0] is the 1st chained transformation if a TRACON is programmed. If a TRACON command is not active, the code number of
the programmed transformation is returned (e.g. 257 for TRANSMIT). If no transformation is active, the value '0' is returned.
$AC_TRAFO_CHAIN[1] is the 2nd chained transformation if a TRACON is active. Otherwise a '0' is returned.
The same applies accordingly for $AC_TRAFO_CHAIN[2] and $AC_TRAFO_CHAIN[3].

$AC_FIFO [n,m]
FIFO stack
DOUBLE
Description:
Variable $AC_FIFO[n,m] access the n-th. first in first out stack. See also $AC_FIFO1 .. $AC_FIFO10.
$MC_NUM_AC_FIFO is used to define the range of n values and thus the number of FIFO Stacks $AC_FIFO1 - $AC_FIFO10.
The elements of the stack memory are saved in R variables. The length of all FIFO stacks is configured with $MC_LEN_AC_FIFO.
$MC_START_AC_FIFO is used to specify the number of the start R variable, from which the FIFO elements are stored.
R variables assigned to FIFO areas should not be written elsewhere.
The number of R variables must be set in machine data $MC_MM_NUM_R_PARAM such that all FIFO variables can be stored:
$MC_MM_NUM_R_PARAM = $MC_MM_START_FIFO + $MC_NUM_AC_FIFO * ($MC_LEN_AC_FIFO + 6)
The FIFO variable is an array variable.
Indices 0 - 5 have special meanings:
m = 0: When written with index 0, a new value is stored in the FIFO.
When read with index 0, the oldest element is read and removed from the FIFO.
m=1: Access to the first element read
m=2: Access to the last element read
m=3: Total of all FIFO elements if Bit0 in $MC_MM_MODE_FIFO is set.
m=4: Number of elements available in the FIFO
m=5: Current write index relative to the start of the FIFO
m=6: Oldest element
m=7: Second oldest etc.
Index 1:
The dimension is configured via $MC_NUM_AC_FIFO.
Index 2:
The dimension is configured via $MC_LEN_AC_FIFO.

$AC_AUXFU_M_TICK [168]
Time stamp of active M auxiliary function
INT
Description:
Field variable $AC_AUXFU_M_TICK[n] is used to read the time stamp of the M auxiliary function collected (search run) or output last for an
auxiliary function group. Auxiliary functions are assigned to groups. The index corresponds to a group number decremented by one. Index 0
therefore determines the value of the M auxiliary function of the 1st group, which was output last. If no auxiliary function has been output for
the specific group, the variable indicates value -1. The respective value can be determined using variable $AC_AUXFU_M_VALUE[n] and the
respective extension using variable $AC_AUXFU_M_EXT[n]. Variable $AC_AUXFU_M_STATE[n] determines the current output state.
Index 1:
The index corresponds to the auxiliary function group number decremented by one.

$AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME
Execution time of the selected NC program
DOUBLE
Description:
The current net runtime of the current program, in other words, the time during which the program was stopped has been deducted. If a part
program is restarted in automatic mode from the channel status RESET, $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is automatically reset to zero.
$AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is reset to zero when M30 is reached. The net runtime does not include the time during which the program stops
because Override=0.
$AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME can be further manipulated with $AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIGGER.
Note: The RESET key does not reset $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME to zero, it merely stops $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME. $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME
is not reset by default with GOTOS (except with the 828D). If GOTOS is to behave like program end M30, bit 0 of machine data
$MC_PROG_NET_TIMER_MODE must be set.
When an ASUB is started, $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is set to zero, and counts the runtime of the ASUB. $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is not reset
when Prog-Events is started. $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is additionally increased only with a start event, M30 ProgEvent and search run
ProgEvent. At the end of an ASUB, $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME behaves the same as the RESET button, this means that.
$AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is only stopped, it is not set to 0.

$AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME
Runtime of the last NC program
DOUBLE
Description:
$AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is the net runtime of the program that has just finished correctly, this means that the program was not canceled
with RESET, it was ended normally with M30. If a new program is started, $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME remains unaffected until M30 is reached
again.
The implicit copying process from $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME to $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME takes place only if $AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIG-
GER is not written.
Note: $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is reset to zero by PI "Select program". $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is set to zero if the currently selected
program is edited. $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is not changed at the end of an ASUB or a Prog-Event.

$AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIGGER
Trigger for runtime measurement
INT
Description:
$AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIGGER is used to selectively measure program sections. This means that by writing $AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIGGER
the program can switch time measurement on and off.
In order to exploit all trigger possibilities, certain values of $AC_PROG_NET_TIME_TRIGGER are assigned a special function:
0 = Neutral: The trigger is not active, the value is taken from Reset with the start button.
1 = Exit: Exits the measurement and copies $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME to $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME. $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME is set to
zero, and then starts running again.
2 = Start: Starts the measurement and sets $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME to zero. $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is not changed.
3 = Stop: Stops the measurement, does not change $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME, and holds $AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME constant until continue.
4 = Continue: Continuation of the measurement, this means that a measurement that has been stopped is resumed.
$AC_ACT_PROG_NET_TIME continues to run. $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME is not changed.

$AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME_COUNT
Change counter for $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME
INT
Description:
$AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME_COUNT is zero in the Power ON status. $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME_COUNT is always increased when the NCK has
newly written $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME. This enables the user to ensure that $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME has been written. This means that,
if the user cancels the current program with reset, $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME and $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME_COUNT remain unchanged. As
oldProgNetTime is reset when a new program is selected, in this case oldProgNetTimeCount is also increased.
Note: Two programs running consecutively can have identical runtimes and be correctly terminated. The user can then only detect this by the
changed $AC_OLD_PROG_NET_TIME_COUNT.

$AC_SMAXVELO [n]
Maximum possible spindle speed
DOUBLE
Description:
$AC_SMAXVELO[n]
n: Number of the spindle
Maximum possible spindle speed
The variable returns the maximum possible spindle speed for the spindle mode. This is taken from the lowest value of the active speed
limitations, and cannot be exceeded by speed programming or override > 100%.
A speed limitation is displayed by the VDI interface signal DB31..,DBX83.1 'Setpoint speed limited' and by $AC_SPIND_STATE, bit 10 (speed
limitation active).
The cause of the speed limitation can also be determined with the system variable $AC_SMAXVELO_INFO.
In oscillation mode (gear stage change), the variable returns the value for the spindle mode (speed-control mode).

$AC_SMAXVELO_INFO [n]
Identifier for the speed-limiting data
INT
Description:
$AC_SMAXVELO_INFO[n]
n: Number of the spindle
Identifier (info) for the speed limiting data (machine/setting data, etc.).
The system variable is additional information to $AC_SMAXVELO, and returns the
definitive data as an identifier/index. The value read can be used to determine the
speed limiting data from the following table.
0 No limitation (SERUPRO)
1 Maximum speed (chuck speed) of the spindle MD 35100 SPIND_VELO_LIMIT
2 The speed is limited to the maximum speed in the current gear stage MD 35130 GEAR_STEP_MAX_VELO_LIMIT
3 The speed is limited by position control to 90% of the lowest value contained in MD 35100 and MD 35130 (SPCON, SPOS, possibly with
COUPON,..)
4 The speed is limited by position control to MD 35135 GEAR_STEP_PC_MAX_VELO_LIMIT
5 The speed is limited to SD 43220 SPIND_MAX_VELO_G26 (G26 S.. or preset by HMI)
6 The speed is limited to MD 35160 SPIND_EXTERN_VELO_LIMIT because of set VDI interface signal DB31,...DBX3.6
7 The speed is limited to SD 43230 SPIND_MAX_VELO_LIMS with constant cutting speed (G96, G961, G962, G97, LIMS)
8 The speed is limited to safe speed (SS) by Safety Integrated
9 The speed is limited by preparation calculations
10 Limited to the maximum speed of the drive by drive parameter (e.g. SINAMICS p1082, p2000)
11 The speed is limited to MD 36300 ENC_FREQ_LIMIT at functions that require a functioning measuring system, for example, with position
control and G95, G96, G97, G973, G33, G34, G35 for the master spindle. The limitation takes into account the encoder speed, the master
spindle arrangement (direct/indirect), the master spindle limiting frequency and the current parameter set
12 The speed is limited by the axis mode. In the case of a synchronized spindle, axis mode is forced by the leading spindle.
13 The speed of the overlaid motion of the following spindle is limited to the dynamics remaining after the coupling. A larger motion
component of the overlaid motion can be achieved by reducing the leading spindle speed, for example, by programming G26 S, VELOLIM for
the leading spindle or VELOLIMA for the following spindle. The coupling factor has to be taken into account.
14 The speed of the leading spindle is limited by lack of dynamics of the following spindle or a high gear ratio
15 The speed of the master spindle is limited to MD 35550 DRILL_VELO_LIMIT when tapping with G331, G332.
16 The speed is limited by the programming of VELOLIM.
17 The speed is limited by tool parameter $TC_TP_MAX_VELO
18 Not used
19 Not used
20 The speed is limited by the NCU link.
21 The speed is limited by SD43235 SD_SPIND_USER_VELO_LIMIT, speed limited on the user side, e.g. by clamping device, chuck speed
22 The speed is limited by the programming of VELOLIMA
23 The speed is limited by the clamping state of the tool. If there is a Weiss spindle, the clamping state can be read from $VA_MOT_CLAMP-
ING_STATE[axn].
In oscillation mode (gear stage mode), the variable returns the value for spindle mode (speed-control mode)

$AC_SMINVELO [n]
Minimum possible spindle speed
DOUBLE
Description:
$AC_SMINVELO[n]
n: Number of the spindle
Minimum possible spindle speed
The variable returns the minimum possible spindle for open-loop speed control mode. This is formed from the highest speed increase, and
cannot be undershot by speed programming or override < 100%
A speed increase is displayed by the VDI interface signal DB31..,DBX83.2 'Setpoint speed increased' and by $AC_SPIND_STATE, bit 11 (setpoint
speed increased).
The cause of the increase in speed (machine or setting data, G code, VDI interface etc.) can also be determined with the system variable
$AC_SMINVELO_INFO.
The increase in speed is effective only if the spindle is in open-loop speed control mode. The system variable always returns the definitive value
for the open-loop speed control mode, even if the spindle is in positioning or axis mode.
