Okuma THINC Constants and Variables
Okuma THINC Source Variables
Okuma variables are used to hold data retrieved from Okuma THINC devices.
The information in curly brackets are required parameters specifying additional information, such as a spindle number, about the data being retrieved.
Some variables optionally support multiple paths. Valid options are nothing, a path number, or All. These are denoted in the variable list with a {} inside the variable brackets: [OkumaTHINC.variable_name{}]. The following are example values to determine which path to read:
- Path 1:
[OkumaTHINC.cycle_status]or[OkumaTHINC.cycle_status{1}] - Path 2:
[OkumaTHINC.cycle_status{2}] - Loop (checks if a variable is true for any path):
[OkumaTHINC.feed_hold_status{All}]
