ACU-RITE 3500i 395
11.4 Advanced Programming
System Variables
Certain variables are set aside as 3500i system variables. Some may
be useful for you to know when programming macros. The system
variables range from #1000 to #1099. Most of these variables are "read
only". You cannot write information to them. There are a few
exceptions to this rule.
Variable Description
#1000 Block skip variables (read/write)
#1010 to #1013 Commanded ABS tool position (x,y,z,u)
NOTE: These variables are not valid during compensations
such as tool radius, scaling, mirroring, and rotation, or while
in transitional moves such as corner rounding and
chamfering.
#1016 Current G motion mode (0=rapid, 1=feed, 2=cw arc, 3=ccw
arc, 5=ellipse, 6=spiral)
#1017 Current XYZ plane (17=XY, 18=XZ, 19=YZ)
#1020 Current tool diameter
#1021 Current tool length offset
#1022 Current feedrate
#1023 Current rapidrate
#1024 Current RPM
#1030 Stock variable (R/W)
#1031 Acute angle for rounding compensated intersections
(default = 15.0)
#1032 # of look-ahead blocks for tool diameter compensation (R/W)
#1041 Current program tool compensation (40=off, 41=left,
42=right)
#1050 to #1057 Actual absolute position (X,Y,Z,U,V,W)
NOTE: These variables are not valid during compensations
such as tool radius, scaling, mirroring, and rotation, or while
in transitional moves such as corner rounding and
chamfering.
#1070 Current XYZ dimension (70=inch, 71=mm)
#1071 Current UVW dimension (70=inch, 71=mm)
#1090 Current XYZ dimension (90=abs, 91=incr)
#1091 Current UVW dimension (90=abs, 91=incr)
