NOTE
1 With the Power Mate–D (two–path control), the PMC axis
control function cannot be used.
2 A control axis is selected by setting #8700 (PMC control axis
selection variable).
3 For details of the PMC axis control interface and so forth,
refer to the connection manual of each model.
(1) Details of variables
(a) PMC command signal variables (#8710, #8720, #8730, #8740,
#8750, #8760, #8770, #8780)

EBUF
ECLR ESTP ESOF ESBK EFIN
When a numeric value is written into a variable, the value is
written to the corresponding PMC axis control interface
command signal (as indicated in the table below). Note,
however, that no value can be written to the signal EFIN.

When a control command is written into a variable, the axis
control command is written to the corresponding axis control
command signal (as indicated in the table below). A specified
value can also be read.

When a cutting feedrate is written into a variable, the cutting
feedrate is written to the corresponding command data signal (as
indicated in the table below). A specified value can also be read.
