PLANE function not possible

NC FAQ1068

Question:

I can’t program or test any PLANE functions on my programming station. The error message “PLANE FUNCTION not permitted” appears for programs I load.

The soft keys for the PLANE functions are also not active in the PROGRAMMING AND EDITING mode of operation.

Answer:

If you have installed the programming station with active PLC, proceed as follows:

Press MOD and enter the code number KINEMATIC. Now select a configuration (corresponding to your machine, if applicable) with two rotary axes (e.g. AC_Head), and confirm with ENTER.

If you did not install the PLC, and no example kinematics are displayed here, you can uninstall the programming station and install it again (this time user-defined, with active PLC). In order to prevent unintentional loss of data, making a backup first is recommended.
