Description:
A value higher than zero indicates that the NCK has received the "NCK Reset" signal from the HMI and displays the time period (in seconds)
programmed on the NCK for rebooting (Power Off followed by Power ON).
The user can thus identify a reboot operation in a synchronized action
and prepare his application accordingly.
$AN_REBOOT_DELAY_TIME is 0.0 provided that no "NCK Reset" has been received.
Example:
A synchronized action reacts to the variable and switches the
axes to "Safe standstill" in a Safety Integrated application.
Comments:
- See also: $MN_REBOOT_DELAY_TIME
- The "NCK Reset" is implemented on the OPI by means of PI "_N_IBN_SS".

$AN_COLL_STATE [n]
Activation status of a protection area for collision avoid-
BOOL
ance
Description:
The system variable indicates if a protection area can currently be part of collision monitoring.
However, the following requirements must be met first:
1. The activation status of the protection area is active ("A") or the activation status is PLC-controlled ("P") and the interface bit assigned to the
protection area is set.
2. The protection area group ("Machine", "TOOL" etc.) has been activated in the current operating mode via the associated interface bit.
A protection area for which this system variable gives the value TRUE only then enters real collision monitoring when it is part of at least one
collision pair ($NP_COLL_PAIR). The other partner must also be an active protection area.
Index 1:
Index of the protection area whose status is to be read.

$AN_AXCTSWE [31]
Axis container rotation slot enabled
INT
Description:
Is the rotation enabled for a slot of an axis container?
Bit mask, each bit corresponds to a slot, e.g. 0x5 corresponds to the slots 1 and 3.
Bit == 1: the slot of an axis container is enabled for rotation.
Bit == 0: the slot of an axis container is not enabled for rotation.
Example: Axis container with 4 slots: whenever ($AN_AXCTSWE[ct1] and 'Hffff') == 'Hfff5' do DO M99.
As soon as a slot has been enabled for the axis container rotation, bit == 1 is recorded for unused slots. In the example 'Hfff0'.
If the slots of an axis container are distributed over several NCUs, the current status of the slots is only displayed on the other NCUs if all slots
for the axis container rotation have been enabled on the other NCU. In the case of a direct axis container rotation (AXCTSED), nothing is
displayed.
Notice: The most significant bit is not a sign bit, but stands for the 32nd slot of an axis container. Therefore do not query variables with >0 but
to != 0 in order to establish whether a slot has actually been enabled for rotation.
The axis container name or axis name of an axis in the axis container can be specified as an index.

$AN_LAI_AX_TO_IPO_NC_CHANAX
Assignment of an LAI axis to the interpolator (NCU or
INT
[31]
channel, channel axis).
Description:
If the LAI axis is currently interpolated on this NCU, the channel and the channel axis number are reported in such a way, which defines the
interpolator of the axis. In this case, the channel is recorded from the hundred place and the channel axis number is recorded from the unit
place, e.g. 1005 - channel 10 channel axis 5. These values are always lower than 10000.
If the LAI axis is currently interpolated on another NCU, the NCU Identifier of the interpolating NCU and the global axis number of the machine
axis is recorded. In this case, the NCU is recorded from the 10000 place, e.g. 20203: NCU 2 and the global axis number is 203. This global axis
number can be used to determine the interpolating channel and the channel axis number on the other NCU with NCU Id 2, with $AN_IPO_CHA-
NAX[203].
If the LAI axis is not used, 0 is returned.
Index 1:
Maximum axis number in the logical machine axis image.

nel, channel axis).
Description:
For a global axis number, such as the one reported by $VA_IPO_NC_CHANAX, the channel and channel axis number are reported, which define
the writing interpolator of the axis. In this case, the channel is reported from the hundred place and the channel axis number from the unit place
e.g. 1005 - channel 10 channel axis 5.
If the axis is not used on this NCU with the specified global axis number, 0 is returned.
Index 1:
Global axis number to be provided by $VA_IPO_NC_CHANAX.

$AN_LINK_CONN_SND [16]
Number of link variable changes per cycle
INT
Description:
Number of link variable changes per cycle from the current to the specified NCU number.
The index NCU No of the $AN_LINK_CONN_SDN[ NCU No] variable currently varies from 1 to 16. The variable returns the number of bytes from
the current NCU Act to the NCU No reserved for replacing any non-cyclic messages. Depending on the utilization of this transmission capacity,
SIEMENS can provide new SDB blocks for the CBE-30, which reduce the total transmission capacity from NCU Act to NCU No. This makes the
link faster and the servo cycle shorter. Note: Systems without NCU link return the value 0. If NCU Act == NCU No, the variable returns "0".
Index 1:
Currently, the index can have a value between 1 and 16.

$AN_LINK_CONN_SIZE_LINKVAR
Gross number of bytes required for a link variable
INT
Description:
Gross number of bytes required for a link variable that is to be transferred into every PTP relationship
The assignment of a link variable (e.g. $a_dlb[9] = 1) does not utilize the non-cyclic link connections with a message of length
$AN_LINK_CONN_SIZE_LINKVAR. It is irrelevant whether a double-link variable or a byte-link variable is described. The customer can thus
estimate the maximum number of transferable link variables per IPO cycle ($AN_LINK_CONN_SND[NCU-No] / $AN_LINK_CONN_SIZE_LINK-
VAR= number of link variables changes per IPO cycle from NCU Act to NCU No).

INT
cles
Description:
The maximum simulation increment can be read and written in real-time interpolation cycle via variable $AN_SIM_MAX_IPOSTEP. An event is
output to the HMI interface after each increment. This enables the number of interpolation points to be set. If a value of 0 is specified, the system
determines the maximum possible increment.
The variable is only valid in conjunction with the synchronized simulation (see bit 4 $MN_PROG_TEST_MASK).
Application in the NC program:
$AN_SIM_MAX_IPOSTEP = 10
; One interpolation cycle in the simulation corresponds to a maximum of 10 real-time interpolation cycles.

$AN_COLL_STATE_COND [n]
Activation conditions of a protection area for collision
INT
avoidance
Description:
The system variable indicates whether a protection area can be a current part of the collision monitoring.
The individual conditions that have to be fulfilled for a protection area to be active for collision avoidance are also displayed.
The variable is coded as follows:
Bit 0: Protection area is monitored (this bit has the same meaning as the system variable $AN_COLL_STATE).
Bit 1: The protection area is included in the internally mapped model.
Bit 2: The protection area has the status 'P' (PLC-controlled).
Bit 3: The protection area has the status 'A' (active).
Bit 4: All axes that can move the protection area are referenced.
Bit 5: Indicates whether a PLC bit is assigned to the protection area.
Bit 6: Status of the interface bit assigned to the protection area.
Bit 7: The protection area has no connection with ROOT (the kinematic chain is interrupted by a SWITCH).
An active protection area (bit 0 = TRUE) participates in the collision avoidance only if it is part of at least one collision pair ($NP_COLL_PAIR),
and its other partner is also an active protection area.
Index 1:
Index of the protection area whose status is to be read.

$AN_POWERON_STATE
>State of NCK power on
INT
Description:
The bit-coded variable indicates the state of the NCK power on.
All bits = 0: NCK power on has not started.
Bit0=1: The NCK power on has started, i.e. all NCK objects (channels etc.) have already been created and are being initialized.
Bit1=1: The main run states can now be read. This means that all stations have been initialized, and that power on Reset has been executed
together with the Reset INIT blocks.
Bit2=1: User interventions (Reset, Stop etc.) are now possible and purposeful. This means that any configured Safety ProgEvent has been
correctly completed or possibly could not be executed because of alarms. Any configured PowerOn ProgEvent is executed next provided that
its execution is not prevented by alarms.
Bit24=1: The NCK power on has finished together will all the ProgEvents that could be executed automatically (Safety ProgEvent, PowerOn
ProgEvent). The bit does not indicate whether or not an error occurred during the power on (see Bit25).
Bit25=1: The NCK power on finished with errors. This means, for example, that an error occurred while the stations were being initialized,
during the Reset INIT blocks or the execution of the Safety ProgEvent. Other alarms indicate the exact problem, and the alarm responses indicate
which actions can be executed.

$P_MODEL_SCALING_OVL [65535]
>Information, whether model scaling is overloaded.
INT
Description:
The variable states in bit-coded form whether and how the machine data programmed via the MMCID is changed in respect of the model
definition in the characteristics effective on cold start. Changes are only defined and possible for simulation NCK systems.
The field index corresponds to the MMCID of the machine data that is to be checked. For example, $AN_MODLE_SCALING_OVL[20700]
designates the machine data $MC_REFP_NC_START_LOCK. The field index of a non-existent MMCID does not lead to the alarm, but returns the
value -1 (0xffffffff).
All bits = 0: The machine data remains unchanged with its characteristics defined for the NCK model.
Bit0=1: Simulation NCK. An entry in the file that is determined with the internally used environment variable NCNCKSIMS has changed one
or more characteristics of the original model definition
Bit1=1: Simulation NCK. An entry in the file that is determined with the internally used environment variable NCNCKSIMS00 has changed one
or more characteristics of the original model definition
Bit2=1: Simulation NCK. An entry in the file that is determined with the internally used environment variable NCNCKSIMS01 has changed one
or more characteristics of the original model definition

$P_EP [31]
Programmed end position
DOUBLE
Description:
$P_EP[X]
System variable $P_EP supplies the current WCS setpoint position in the interpreter. The numerical value is not necessarily identical to the value
programmed in the part program. The two values differ in the following
situations:
- with incremental programming
- when the WCS is changed by a frame or tool selection
If an ASUB is started after a block search with calculation, the positions in the interpreter are synchronized with this operation. $P_EP then
supplies
the actual standstill positions of the axes in the ASUB. The collected search position can be interrogated via system variable $AC_RETPOINT.

$VA_IM [31]
Current MCS actual value of an axis
DOUBLE
Description:
Axial variable $VA_IM[ax] determines the encoder actual value (measured by active measuring system) in the machine coordinate system
(MCS). All actual value compensations are corrected (leadscrew error compensation, backlash compensation, quadrant error compensation).
For rotary axes/spindles, the returned value is independent of the modulo setting, a transformation is only performed for specific actions.
When a spindle or axis disable is active, this variable returns the current setpoint by definition. In this case, if the actual value also has to be
returned, BIT3 must be set in $MA_MISC_FUNCTION_MASK.

$AA_ETRANS [31]
External zero offset
DOUBLE
Description:
Axial variable $AA_ETRANS[ax] is used to enter an external work offset which can be activated by the PLC. After activation by the PLC, the
offset value is traversed as an axial override in the next block.
If Bit 1 is set in $MC_MM_SYSTEM_FRAME_MASK, an active movement is stopped immediately, on activation by the PLC, the preprocessor is
reorganized, and the system frame is initialized with the axis value of $AA_ETRANS[ax] and is activated. The offset is traversed before resuming
the interrupted movement. The external work offset has an absolute effect on the translation of the current system frame. Multiple activation
is thus not additive; only the coarse component of the translation (not the fine offset) is overwritten with the value from $AA_ETRANS[ax].

$AC_RETPOINT [31]
Repositioning point in ASUB
DOUBLE
Description:
$AC_RETPOINT[X]
$AC_RETPOINT[] supplies the WCS position of an axis at which an ASUB has been started. The axis can then be repositioned at this point in the
ASUB.
If an ASUB is started immediately after a block search with calculation, $AC_RETPOINT then supplies the collected search position.
For a modulo axis $AC_RETPOINT[] supplies the position as modulo converted.
System variable $AC_RPVALID[] can be used to check whether $AC_RETPOINT[] is supplying a valid repositioning point within the current
program context (see documentation for $AC_RPVALID[]).
Note about application in synchronized actions:
The points generated by REPOS are supplied while the REPOS approach blocks are being processed. The current parameter settings for the
REPOS operation (approach to interruption point, block start point, etc.) defined by G codes RMI, RMB, RME, RMN or VDI signal are also taken
into account.
