List interpretation at start-up

The interpretation of all axis machine data lists is carried out on CNC start-up in a multi step way depending on axis configuration and the internal default setting. Internal default setting of the machine data set can be overwritten by values which results in interpretation of machine data axis list. Internal machine data may be overwritten as a result of list interpretation whereas entries missing in the interpreted list are retained.

The involved lists are:

The name of the used default list must be specified in the file hochlauf.lis in the entry P-STUP-00035 (default_achs_mds). Entries in the default list are identical for all axes.

The sequence of list interpretation is:

  1. Basic initialisation of lists with internal default initialisation setting.
  2. Overwriting of default initialisation with default list entries.
  3. Overwriting with entries of the axis-specific list of each axis.
