Overview
Used with an NC program, the real time custom macro function controls peripheral
axes and signals.
If a macro statement is used together with an NC statement, a program using the
conventional custom macro function executes the macro statement immediately when
the macro statement is read. So, the macro statement cannot be executed
independently of the NC statement.
On the other hand, the real time custom macro function enables the following control
operations when a real time macro command (RTM command) is coded in an NC
program.
A real time macro command starts operation in synchronism with the NC
statement and is executed independently. During NC program execution, a
real time macro command can be executed at the same time.
PMC interface signals can be read and written (with a restriction). In an NC
program, a motion using a signal as a trigger can be coded.
Variables dedicated to a real time macro command can be read and written.
A real time macro command can exercise axis control. (The option is
required.)
Multiple real time macro commands can be executed at the same time.
Multiple real time custom macro statements can be coded in an NC program
and can be controlled independently of each other.
