Mode

Standard Word: FeedrateMode

Variable: Feedrate.Mode

Type: Enum

The feed rate mode can be defined in 3 different ways:

Per Minute (MMPM/IPM) Per Revolution (MMPR/IPR) InverseTime

Feed rate mode information is taken from the “FEDRAT/” (or similar expressions in different CAMs) line in the APT/CL file and is then assigned to the “Feedrate.Mode” variable.

This variable can be used in any script. When used in a script, the “Feedrate.Mode” variable returns the string “Per Minute”, “Per Revolution” or “Inverse Time”. In addition, the word “FeedrateMode” is created from this variable. For each mode, G codes (G94, G95 etc.) can be defined in the “Edit” page of this word.

This word is then used in linear, circular motion commands or drilling cycle commands and prints the relevant G code to the NC program.
