1 General
This function provides the capability that skip function or high speed skip
function can be commanded for the slave axis in the flexible synchronous
control mode.
The features are as follows.
l The program block to enable the function is not interrupted until the
total number of skip signal inputs reaches a value specified in the same
block
l The machine coordinate position of the slave axis at each time of the
signal inputs is stored in one of consecutive custom macro variables.
The top number of the variables is specified in the block.
l The total number of the inputs is stored in another specified variable.
As for the flexible synchronous control function, please refer to ‘FS16i/18i
CONNECTION MANUAL (FUNCTION) (B-63523EN-1) 1.15 FLEXIBLE
SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL’.
2 Format
G31.8 is a one-shot G code.
During the execution of the G31.8 block, the machine coordinate positions
of the slave axis at the skip signal inputs are stored in the consecutive custom
macro variables where the top number of the variables is specified by P and
the maximum allowable number of the skip signal inputs is specified by Q.
This total number of the skip signal inputs (i.e. the same value specified by
Q) is stored in the variable specified by R.

G31.8 G91 α0 P_ Q_ R_ ; (skip command for
flexible synchronous control)
P: The top number of the consecutive custom macro variables in
which the machine coordinate positions of the slave axis at the
skip signal inputs are stored.
α: The slave axis
Q: The maximum allowable number of the skip signal inputs.
(Range of command value: 1~200)
R: The number of the custom macro variables in which the total
number of the inputs is stored.
This data is usually the same as the value specified by Q.
Therefore this is not necessarily specified. Specify it when the
total number should be confirmed.
