Cycle support
Use
When using cycle support in the parts programs, additional comment lines are generated in
front of and behind the cycle call and used for recompilation. These lines start with ;# ... .
When cycles noted directly using the editor are called (also referred to as "old" cycles), then
this information is missing. A description is provided in the following text as to how the
information for cycles, contained in the lines in ;# can be provided by configuring INI files.
For Siemens cycles, the required configuration files are included in the scope of supply.
This means that after recompilation it will be possible to work with the following cycle calls
using the dialog support:
● Directly noted cycle calls
● Siemens cycle calls
● User cycle calls
Prerequisites
For these cycles, a configuration generated using the "Expand user interface" tools must
exist or be generated.
