I am confused about the units when I am entering the Machine Data. In IP246 'SW Limit sw start' is at -40000 mm. The data in FM354 (MD21) should be -40000 [it says mm in the field] or -40000000 [it says MSR in the Help file]? Anyway I cannot enter -40000000. It allows only -1000000. Is the field correct or the help file? Attachment field.JPG (308 Downloads)

But it is not allowing any value beyond -10^6? Refer attached picture. Also, regarding programming, I have multiple FB354s. Should there be 2 DBs (one DB_FM and one DBEX) for each FM? Like, DB-FM1+DB-Application1, DB-FM2+DB-Application2, etc? Attachment file2.JPG (301 Downloads)
