Changing the working area limitation
Working area limitation through setting data
HMI user interface: Operating area "Parameter"
• Automatic modes:
- Changes: possible only in the RESET state
- Effective: immediately
• Manual operating modes:
- Changes: always possible
- Effective: at the start of the next traversing motion
Programmed working area limitation
The working area limitation can be changed in the part program via
G25
or
G26
<Axis identifier> <value>. The
change takes effect immediately.
The new working area limitation value is retained after and NC RESET and POWER ON if the back-up process
has been activated in the NCK's retentive data storage for SD43420 and SD43430:
MD10710 $MN_PROG_SD_RESET_SAVE_TAB[0] = 43420
MD10710 $MN_PROG_SD_RESET_SAVE_TAB[1] = 43430
Reset position
The reset position for the working area limitation (
WALIMON
or
WALIMOF
) is configurable via:
MD20150 $MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES (RESET position of G groups)

Working area limitation in WKS/ENS
Application
The working area limitation in the workpiece coordinate system (WCS) or adjustable zero system (AZS) is mainly
intended for defining working area limits in conventional lathes. This allows "stops" to be defined for the channel
axes, thereby enabling workpiece-specific limits to be defined for the working area.
Working area limitation group
There are working area limitation groups available containing all the data which is of relevance to the working
area limitation. As such, there is no need to write the working area limitations afresh every time while switching
the transformation or the active frame, for example.
A working area limitation group comprises the following data:
WALIMON
Working area limitation ON
or
WALIMOF
Working area limitation OFF
