Syntax

public class ToolLengthCompensation

Constructors

ToolLengthCompensation()

Constructor for the ToolLengthCompensation class for tool length compensation.

Declaration

public ToolLengthCompensation()

Properties

IsRTCPModeActive

Returns flag indicating if RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point) mode is active.

Declaration

public bool IsRTCPModeActive { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

OffsetNumber

Tool length offset number in the offset table.

Declaration

public int OffsetNumber { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

Methods

Compensate(TNCPlaneType)

Performs length compensation based on the specified plane. If RTCP mode is enabled, calls mode setting through CLD. Otherwise, selects the compensation axis depending on the plane and executes the corresponding command. After execution, resets the update flag, and the activity flag is updated.

Declaration

public void Compensate(TNCPlaneType lastPlane)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TNCPlaneType	lastPlane	Last used machining plane.

Initialize(INCT_CLData)

Initializes the tool length compensation object with CLData interface.

Declaration

public void Initialize(INCT_CLData clData)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INCT_CLData	clData	Interface for interacting with toolpath data.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	If clData is null.

InitializeBlock()

Initializes the compensation state for processing a new CNC program block.

Declaration

public void InitializeBlock()

SetCompensationMode(TNCLengthCompensationMode, bool)

Sets the tool length compensation mode and, optionally, enables RTCP mode. When switching to compensation off mode, compensation with an arbitrary plane is performed.

Declaration

public void SetCompensationMode(TNCLengthCompensationMode newMode, bool isRTCPMode = false)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TNCLengthCompensationMode	newMode	New length compensation mode.
bool	isRTCPMode	Flag indicating if RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point) mode is active (default false)

SetSpecifiedAxis(int)

Sets the axis along which the tool length compensation will act, if it has not already been set in the current block.

Declaration

public void SetSpecifiedAxis(int axisValue)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	axisValue	Compensation axis (1=X, 2=Y, 3=Z). For this control system, the compensation direction can only be set once per block.
