Equipment parameters

INCT_Equipment — CAM system interface that implements access to some equipment parameters.

Description of interface methods:

Method	Method Description	Description of use
GetAxisIndex	The function returns the index of the machine axis by its address (integer). Input parameter: Addr (string) — axis address ('X', 'Y', 'Z', etc. as indicated in the kinematic diagram of the machine).	To control the movement of the tool (using INCT_CLData.AddMotion or CreateLinearMotionFormer), it is necessary to set the axes indexes that the GetAxisIndex function returns.
GetAxisIndexByNum	The function returns the index of the main or additional axis of the robot by its number (integer). Input parameter: AxisNum (integer) — number axis robot (1-6). Ext (logical): False — main axis, True — additional axis.	If the robot's axis is set by a number (not an address), you can use the function GetAxisIndexByNum to get the axis index. Typically, Motoman robot axes can be obtained this way.
GetXYZindex	The function returns the index of the axis associated with moving along the X or Y or Z coordinates by the specified parameter (see INCT_CLData.AddCircle). Input parameter: Ort (integer) 1 – X; 2 – Y; 3 – Z.	To get the axis indexes associated with the X, Y, Z of the current tool.
CurrentLatheToolWidth	The function returns the width of the current turning tool (number).	Used to set the groove width step in INCT_LatheGroovingCycleFormer.
GetSpindlesCount	The feature returns the number of spindles of the current machine (integer).	To perform commands of the spindles machine by number. For example, SPos[SpindelIndex] = Value for CNC Sinumerik.
GetAxisIndexBySpindleIndex	The function returns the spindle axis number by the spindle index (integer). Input parameter: SpindleIndex (integer) — spindle index, possible values from 0 to GetSpindlesCount -1.
GetOperationGroup	The feature returns the type of CAM system operation (TNCOperationGroup). Type TNCOperationGroup: ogUnknown — Unknown ogMill — Mill ogLathe — Lathe ogAuxiliary — Auxiliary ogWireEDM — Electrical erosion ogWelding — All sorts of welding ogAdditive — Various additive surfacing-type operations ogWaterJet — Hydro abrasive cutting ogSawing — Sawing	It should only be used in the development of interpreters in extreme cases. The feature is introduced to compensate for the position of the turning tool in the CAM system turning operation, without the possibility of setting the corrector value.
