Example 21.3
Sample Entry Move After Non-Motion Blocks
Assume current compensation plane is the ZX plane.
N01X0Z0;
N2G41T1;
This block commands compensation left
N3M02;
This is not the entry block since no axis motion takes place in
the current plane.
N4...;
No axis motion in current plane.
N5...;
No axis motion in current plane.
N6...;
No axis motion in current plane.

N999X1Z1;
This is the entry move for the previously programmed G41
.
Your system installer selects in AMP the allowable number of non-motion
blocks that is to be allowed during TTRC before the entry move must be
re-initialized. See page 21-30.
For example, assume that your system installer has designated that only
two non-motion blocks can be performed. Then, if more than two blocks
following the entry move do not contain axis motion in the current plane,
the entry move is re-performed at the next block containing axis motion in
the current plane.
Example 21.4
Too Many Non-Motion Blocks After Entry Block
Assume current plane to be the ZX plane.
N1X0.Z0.;
N2G41T1X1.Z1.;
Entry move TTRC left.
N3;
No axis motion in current plane.
N4...;
No axis motion in current plane.
N5X4Z-4;
New entry move TTRC left.
