Update Information No. 4
Releases
The following versions of the NC software were released:
NC software 340 422-03 (export version 340 423-03) - Release: January 2003
NC software 340 480-03 (export version 340 481-03) - Release: January 2003
New features:
The PLANE function defines the position of the machining plane. The TILT MACHINING PLANE soft key appears after pressing the SPECIAL TNC FUNCTIONS soft key. The machining plane can be defined through space angles, Euler angles, projection angles, incremental angles, the entry of three points, or by two vectors. The programming of each function is aided by animated support graphics. This function is only available in conjunction with preset tables. The PLANE function can be programmed after M128.
