13.3 CNC Editor
The SoftMotion Din66025 CNC editor is integrated in the »PLC Designer«
programming interface. Within the CNC Editor complex multi-axis movements can be
implemented via graphical and textual or tabular editing. The properties of the path
elements are viewed in a window as well as the toolbox allows a simple graphical
programing of the CNC path.

Overview
The CNC editor in »PLC Designer« allows to program multi-dimensional motions
graphically and textually in parallel following the CNC language DIN66025.
Additionally a tabular editor can be used in place of the text editor.
Have a closer look to the programming examples provided with the setup.
With Din66025 basically up to 9-dimensional motions can be realized, whereby up to 6
dimensions are not interpolated linearly. In three dimensions lines, arcs, elliptic arcs,
parables and splines can be programmed; there are 8 further so called additional axes,
five of which are interpolated linearly, the remaining three are interpolated using a
spline of degree 3. For each programmed path »PLC Designer« automatically creates a
global data structure (CNC Data), which can be used by the IEC program.
