Control Type

Lathe/Mill (dual process only)

The PROCESS_NAMES data item identifies AMP process name for
dual process systems. The system installer configures a process
name in AMP for each process controlled by the CNC. This item
returns the process name as a text string for the requested process.

Important: Dual process systems are not available for release 1 of

the 9/PC.

Follow the data item with a .1 or .2 to indicate the process number.
No process number makes a request for process 1. Single process
systems can also use .1 as a valid data item request. For example:

PROCESS_NAMES.1

would return the text string used to identify the process 1 name.
