M1: Kinematic transformation6.5 Chained transformationsExtended Functions388 Function Manual, 03/2013, 6FC5397-1BP40-3BA1● Assignment of geometry axes to channel axes– general situation (no transformation active)● Assignment of channel axes to machine axis numbers● Identification of spindle, rotation, modulo for axes● Allocation of machine axis names.● Transformation-specific settings (for individual transformations and for chainedtransformations)– Transformation type– axes going into transformation– Assignment of geometry axes to channel axes during active transformation– depending on transformation, rotational position of the co-ordinate system, tool zeropoint in relation to the original co-ordinate system, angle of the inclined axis, etc.Number of transformationsUp to ten transformation data blocks can be defined for each channel in the system. Themachine data names of these transformations begin with $MC_TRAFO .. and end with ... _n,where n stands for a number between 1 and 10.Number of chained transformationsWithin the maximum of 10 transformations of a channel, a maximum of two chainedtransformations may be defined.Transformation sequenceWhen configuring the machine data, the data concerning the single transformations (thatmay also become part of chained transformations) must be specified before the dataconcerning the chained transformations.Chaining sequenceWith chained transformations the second transformation must be "inclined axis" (TRAANG).Chaining directionThe BCS is the input for the first of the transformations to be chained; the MCS is the outputfor the second one.Supplementary conditionsThe supplementary conditions and special cases indicated in the individual transformationdescriptions are also applicable for use in chained transformations.
