Classification of channel parameters

The data of the MachineDataBlock for ControlDataPprocessing (in short SDA_MDS or channel parameters) contain application-specific configuration data.

This list defines cross-axis system parameters of the controller. In addition, the default axis and spindle configuration is defined in the NC channel. The required technology commands and their coding are also defined for transfer to the PLC. The units of measurement and the dimensions of the motion paths entered in the NC program are specified.

The field indices to be specified for the axis data correspond to the indexing of the channel-internal axes and axis groups.

Value ranges of parameters may also be defined by specifying a limit resulting from data width, e.g. MAX(UNS32), etc.
