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)
