INT
Description:
The array variable $AC_AUXFU_TICK[groupIndex, n] is used to read the three output counters of the last auxiliary function collected for an
auxiliary function group (search run) or output.
The variable is changed each time an auxiliary function is changed.
n = 0: Output sequence counter (all outputs within one IPO cycle)
n = 1: Package counter within an output sequence in the interpolation cycle
n = 2: Auxiliary function counter within a package
An auxiliary function package consists of a maximum of 10 auxiliary functions. Two packages per channel can be executed in each IPO cycle
during SERUPRO. An output sequence of up to 20 packages can be executed through all channels in one IPO cycle.
All the auxiliary functions collected in one IPO cycle have the same sequence counter.
All the auxiliary functions collected in one package (block or synact) have the same package counter.
The auxiliary function counter is incremented for each auxiliary function collected.
Index 1:
The index corresponds to the auxiliary function group number decremented by one.

$VC_SGEAR [n]
Currently activated spindle gear stage
INT
Description:
The variable $VC_SGEAR[spino] determines the currently activated spindle gear stage. $AC_SGEAR[spino] determines the set gear stage in the
main run. In the case of the search run, the actual gear stage can vary from the set gear stage, as a gear stage change cannot take place during
the search run. Using $VC_SGEAR[spino] and $AC_SGEAR[spino], it can be checked whether a gear stage change should take place following
a search run.
The following values are possible:
1: 1. Gear stage is active
5: 5. Gear stage is active

$P_ORI_SOL
Number of solutions in the case of orientation program-
INT
ming
Description:
If the axis positions are calculated for an orientation transformation with more than one orientation axis which should result in a specified
orientation, there is generally more than one solution.
This system data contains the number of valid solutions together with additional status information.
The content of $P_ORI_SOL is coded as follows:
Negative values: General error states.
-1: No solutions have been calculated for the active transformation (missing call of ORISOL).
-2: No transformation is active or the active transformation is not an orientation transformation, which is able to return positions for a
specified orientation programming.
-5: On calling ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", no solution was found.
-6: On calling ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", the angle GAMMA was too large.
-7: On calling ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", an angle was specified that could not be set because of the Hirth tooth system.
Units digit: Number of mathematically possible solutions without considering axis limits and possible error conditions.
0: A solution does not exist, i.e. the required orientation cannot be set.
1: One solution exists.
2: Two solutions exist.
9: An infinite number of solutions exist, i.e. the position of at least one orientation axis is not specified. The unspecified axis can be determined
from the hundreds digit or from the system variable $P_ORI_STAT.
Tens digit: Bit-coded display for violated axis limits. The exact cause of the error can be determined from the system variable $P_ORI_STAT.
Bit 0 (value 10): At least one axis limit of the 1st orientation axis is violated for at least one solution.
Bit 1 (value 20): At least one axis limit of the 2nd orientation axis is violated for at least one solution.
Bit 2 (value 40): At least one axis limit of the 3rd orientation axis is violated for at least one solution.
Hundreds digit: Bit-coded display for non-defined axis positions (can only occur if there are an infinite number of solutions, i.e. if the units digit
is equal to 9).
Bit 0 (value 100): The position of the 1st orientation axis is not defined.
Bit 1 (value 200): The position of the 2nd orientation axis is not defined.
Bit 2 (value 400): The position of the 3rd orientation axis is not defined.
The identifiers 1st, 2nd and 3rd orientation axis refer to the definition of the axes in the transformation data $NT_ROT_AX_NAME.

$P_ORI_STAT [ORIDIM]
Status of the orientation axes
INT
Description:
The system variable contains the status of each orientation axis following the call of ORISOL.
The index n of $P_ORI_STAT[n] corresponds to the index of the affected orientation axis in the transformation data $NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n].
The content of $P_ORI_SOL is coded as follows:
Negative values: General error states.
-1: The status is not defined (missing call of ORISOL).
-2: No transformation is active or the active transformation is not an orientation transformation, which is able to return positions for a
specified orientation programming.
-3: The axis is not contained in the active transformation.
-4: The position of the axis cannot be calculated, because the desired orientation cannot be achieved with the specified kinematics, even with
any assumed traversing range of the axis.
-5: On calling the function ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", axis positions were specified in such a way that either the orientation vector or the
orientation normal vector of the tool was aligned parallel to the first orientation axis, the position of which is to be calculated. In these cases,
the position of this axis is not defined.
-6: On calling ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", the angle GAMMA was too large.
-7: On calling ORISOLH for "Swivel direct", an angle was specified that could not be set because of the Hirth tooth system.
-8: The first orientation axis must not be parameterized as a Hirth axis.
-9: Both the second and third rotary axes are parameterized as Hirth axes. A maximum of only one of the two axes may be a Hirth axis.
-10: No adaptation to the Hirth tooth system was found.
Units digit: Bit-coded display for violated axis limits of the first solution.
Bit 0 (value 1): The first solution violates the lower axis limit.
Bit 1 (value 2): The first solution violates the upper axis limit.
Tens digit: Bit-coded display for violated axis limits of the second solution.
Bit 0 (value 10): The second solution violates the lower axis limit.
Bit 1 (value 20): The second solution violates the upper axis limit.
Hundreds digit: Displays a non-defined axis position.
Bit 0 (value 100): The position of the orientation axis is not defined, i.e. the required orientation is achieved through any setting of the rotary
axis (pole setting). This information is also contained the system variable $P_ORI_SOL.
Several fault codes, which display violation of the axis limits, can occur simultaneously. As, in the case of violation of an axis limit, an attempt
is made to achieve a position within the permitted axis limits by adding or subtracting multiples of 360 degrees, if this is not possible - it is not
clearly defined, whether the lower or upper axis limit was violated.
If a solution is not available for the desired orientation ($P_ORI_SOL equals 0), the status of the orientation axes contained in the transformation
is 0.

$PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX [2]
Index of the i-th rotary axis in the kinematic chain
INT
Description:
Supplies the position of a rotary axis (orientation axis) in the internal representation of a transformation.
The position of the orientation axis is defined as follows:
If one runs through the kinematic forces of an active transformation from the table to the tool, then the first orientation axis receives index 0,
the second orientation axis index 1 etc.
It makes (presently) sense only to apply this system variable if an orientation transformation is active with specified kinematic chains. if this
requirement is not met, the return value is -1.
Exampe:
$NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, 0] = "ORI_TOOL"
$NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, 1] = "ORI_PART"
$NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, 2] = ""
If "ORI_TOOL" - as the name implies - rotates the tool and "ORI_PART" the workpiece, one receives the following values as a result from reading
out $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX:
_INDEX = $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX[0] = 1
; _INDEX = 1, since the first orientation axis is the second orientation axis in the kinematic
chain.
_INDEX = $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX[1] = 0
; _INDEX = 0, since the second orientation axis is the first orientation axis in the kinematic
chain.
_INDEX = $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX[2] = -1
; _INDEX = -1 since no third orientation axis is defined (5-axis transformation).
Index 1:
Array index i points to the corresponding entry in the system variable $NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, i]

$PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAN_AX_IN [2]
Channel axis of the n-th rotary axis of a transformer
AXIS
Description:
Supplies the channel axis identifier of the i-th rotary axis (orientation axis) in the internal representation of a transformation.
The i-th orientation axis is defined as follows:
If one runs through the kinematic chain of an active transformation from workpiece to tool, the first orientation axis will receive index 0, the
second orientation axis index 1 etc.
Index i can be determined with the help of system variable $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX from the entry in system date
$NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, j].
Example
:
DEF AXIS B_AX_CHAN
DEF INT CHAIN_INDEX
$NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, 0] = "ROT_TOOL_B" ; refers e.g. to a kinematic chain element describing machine axis B11.
TRAFOON("ORI_TRAFO_TEST")
; activate orientation transformation
CHAIN_INDEX = $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAIN_INDEX[0]
; supplies e.g. value 1 if B11 rotates the tool in a 5-axis transformation.
B_AX_CHAN = $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAN_AX[CHAIN_INDEX ]
; detemine channel axis identifier of machine axis B11
G0 AX[B_AX_CHAN] = 45.
; traverse axis as a channel axis
It only makes sense (presently) to apply this system variable if the orientation transformation is active. If this requirement is not met, alarm
14782 will be output.
Index 1:
Array index i points to the position of the axis in the internal representation of a kinematic chain for describing a
kinematic transformation.

Description:
Supplies the channel axis identifier of the rotary axis (orientation axis) defined in the transformation date $NT_ROT_AX_NAME[n, i] of the
currently active transformation.
Is the currently active orientation transformation not defined with the help of kinematic chains, then the return value of this system variable
is the same as with system variable $PC_TRAFO_ROT_CHAN_AX_IN.
This system variable can (presently) be applied only sensibly if the orientation transformation is active. If this requirement is not met, alarm
14782 will be output.
Index 1:

$P_CUTMOD_ERR
Error condition after last call of CUTMOD
INT
Description:
Error condition after the last call of the CUTMOD function (the CUTMOD function can also be called implicitly on tool change).
The variable is reset to zero on RESET.
It is initially reset at each tool change, and rewritten if required.
The variable is bit-coded. The bits have the following meanings:
Bit 0: No valid cutting direction is defined for the active tool.
Bit 1: The edge angles (clearance angle and holder angle) of the active tool are both zero.
Bit 2: The clearance angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 180 degrees).
Bit 3: The holder angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 90 degrees).
Bit 4: The cutting tip angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 90 degrees).
Bit 5: The cutting edge position - holder angle combination of the active tool is impermissible (with cutting edge positions 1 through 4, the
holder angle must be less than or equal to 90 degrees, with cutting edge positions 5 through 8, it must greater than or equal to 90 degrees).
Bit 6: Impermissible rotation of the active tool (the tool was rotated through +/-90 degrees (with a tolerance of about 1 degree) out of the active
machining plane. As a result, the cutting edge position is no longer defined in the machining plane.
Bit 7: The cutting plate does not lie in the machining plane, and the angle between cutting plate and machining plane exceeds the upper limit
specified in the setting data $SC_CUTMOD_PLANE_TOL.

Query whether the path returned by $P_PATH[n] or the program name returned by $P_PROG[n] corresponds to the NCK notation (FALSE) or
the EES notation (TRUE) (EES: Execution from External Storage):
FALSE (0):
$P_PATH[n] and $P_PROG[n] return NCK notation. That means each identifier has a prefix "_N_". The separator for the extension is "_".
Example of a path and a program name in NCK notation: "/_N_WKS_DIR/_N_MYWPD_WPD/" and "_N_MYPROG_MPF" respectively
Note: A path in NCK notation can refer to both the passive file system as well as to the global part program memory (GDIR) in EES mode.
TRUE (1):
$P_PATH[n] and $P_PROG[n] return EES notation. That means the identifiers do not have a prefix "_N_". The separator for the extension is ".".
Example of a path and a program name in EES notation: "//DEV1:/WKS.DIR/MYWPD.WPD/" and "MYPROG.MPF" respectively

$P_M_TOOL_LENGTH_INDEX [n]
Assignment of tool length components for milling tools
INT
Description:
$P_M_TOOL_LENGTH_INDEX
The system variable returns the number of the tool length components (1, 2 or 3 corresponding to the length components L1, L2, L3) for milling
tools, which is assigned to the geometry axis which was transferred as an index.
Milling tools in this context are all tools with a tool type not lying between 400 and 599.
The assignment does not take into account any rotations (e.g. as a result of kinematic transformations) or frames. It depends on the active plane
and the setting data SD42950 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE and SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST. Active mirrorings of a frame can affect the
output value if setting data SD42900 $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH is set, see below.
If the tool length component is active with a negative sign, the index is output with a negative sign. This can be the case if the hundreds digit
of setting data SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST is equal to 1, or if mirroring of the affected axis is active on account of setting data
$SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH. If both causes are active simultaneously, the resulting sign is positive once more.
Adapter transformations are not taken into account because they are tool-specific.

Turning and grinding tools in this context are all tools with a tool type lying between 400 and 599.
The assignment does not take into account any rotations (e.g. as a result of kinematic transformations) or frames. It depends on the active plane
and the setting data SD42950 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE, SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST and SD42942 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST_T.
Active mirrorings of a frame can affect the output value if setting data SD42900 $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH is set, see below.
If the tool length component is active with a negative sign, the index is output with a negative sign. This can be the case if the hundreds digit
of setting data SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST or the hundreds digit of setting data SD42942 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST_T is equal to
1, or if mirroring of the affected axis is active on account of setting data $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH. If both causes are active simultaneously,

The assignment does not take into account any rotations (e.g. as a result of kinematic transformations) or frames. It depends on the type of
the active tool, the active plane, any active adapter transformation and the setting data SD42950 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE, SD42940
$SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST and SD42942 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST_T. Active mirrorings of a frame can affect the output value if setting
data SD42900 $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH is set, see below.
If the tool length component is active with a negative sign, the index is output with a negative sign. This can be the case if the hundreds digit
of setting data SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST or the hundreds digit of setting data SD42942 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST_T is equal to
1, or if mirroring of the affected axis is active on account of setting data $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH. If both causes are active simultaneously,
the resulting sign is positive once more.
This system variable also takes adapter transformations into account.
If no tool is active, the value 0 is returned.

$P_TOOLBIN [3]
Active binormal vector of the tool orientation
DOUBLE
Description:
$P_TOOLBIN[n]
This system variable returns the binormal vector of the tool orientation scaled to length 1.
The vector is equal to the (scaled) cross product of the vector $P_TOOLROT (normal tool vector) and $P_TOOLO (tool orientation). If $P_TOOL-
ROT and $P_TOOLO are at right-angles to each other, $P_TOOLBIN (abscissa), $P_TOOLROT (ordinate) and $P_TOOLO (applicate) form a
clockwise, orthogonal coordinate system. This condition has to be fulfilled unless the tool orientation and normal tool vector are explicitly
specified otherwise by tool data $TC_DPV... or $TC_DPVN.

$AC_ACT_ORI_TOOL_LENGTH [3]
Current tool length in the BCS
DOUBLE
Description:
The variable returns the tool length components of the active tool in the basic coordinate system (BCS).
This takes into account the tool orientation, including adapter data, mirroring and a possibly active, orientable tool carrier (TCARR).
The indices designate the geometry axes with the assignment:
1: X-axis (abscissa)
2: Y-axis (abscissa)
3: Z-axis (abscissa)
The tool lengths (deviating from standard) are measured from the tool reference point to the tool tip. This means that, if no additional rotation
is active, the components are output with inverted sign compared to the corresponding cutting edge data.

$PC_TRAFO_NUM
Transformation data set number
INT
Description:
$PC_TRAFO_NUM
The variable contains the value 0, if no kinematic transformation or the persistent transformation is active.
If a conventionally defined (i.e. not by kinematic chains) transformation is active, the variable contains the number of the current transfor-
mation data set (the number n in the machine data $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_n).
With an active TRACON transformation, the data set number of the TRACON transformation is returned, in other words, not the data set number
of one of the included, chained part transformations.
If a transformation defined by kinematic chains is active, the variable contains the number of the $NT data set with an offset of 1000, this means
that the first transformation returns the value 1001. In this case, the system variable then returns the same value as $P_TRAFO_PARSET.
