The CNC “E word ” is equivalent to the RotaryFeedRate parameter, and the value of this
parameter can be observed from the MMI 600 in the “E” window of the active G code
section of the Run or manual screens.
If you change the RotaryFeedRate during a contoured move, this change will not take
effect until the next contoured move. Use the MFO to change the speed during a
contoured move.
C.4.101. RotaryFeedRateActual
This task parameter indicates the actual vectorial feedrate of rotary axes, in RPM. This is
the same as the commanded vectorial feedrate, (task parameter RotaryFeedRateActual)
unless the speeds of the axes involved are limited by the MaxFeedRateRPM machine
parameter, or the MFO/MSO is less than 100%. Note, that this parameter only denotes the
vectorial speed during contoured (G1, G2, G3, etc.) moves and is equal to zero during all
other types of motion. This parameter is updated every 10 millisecond's.]
C.4.102. RotateAngleDeg
This task parameter specifies the amount of rotation in degrees to perform in the parts
rotation plane specified by the RotateX and RotateY task parameters. A value of zero
disables the parts rotation. Any non-zero value adds to the degree of rotation. The rotation
is performed around the last position at which this parameter was set. Setting this
parameter to 30 and then later, to 20, will cause a combined 50° rotation. Positions
relative to the last point of rotation are rotated the specified number of degrees. To
disable the parts rotation, set this parameter to –99,999.
