Defaults

  • Last UpdatedDec 15, 2023
  • 30 minute read

Default information (defaults) consists of system parameters and default values controlling the overall performance of the system, giving the users the possibility to adapt the system to different working conditions and different workshop cutting procedures.

The default system stores the default information in default files identified by their file names (device name, name of directory and name of file). The length of a file name should not exceed 75 characters. The default information is stored as one assignment statement per row in the default file. An assignment statement consists of a keyword identifying the variable followed by an equal sign, followed by the default value. Since the default information is identified by a keyword, the order of the default information in the default file is irrelevant.

The default system is divided into two levels with one default file each. The higher, superior level (the system manager level) consists of global default variables that may not be changed by the operator. The inferior level consists of default variables that may be changed by the operator.

The superior default file must be assigned to the logical variable SBH_NEST_DEF1 and the inferior default file to the logical variable SBH_NEST_DEF2.

The keywords of the default variables are given below in alphabetic order.
