    Hello,
    Is it possible to find somewhere more detailed description how to use M function. The explanation in "Codesys online Help" is not very usefull.

    Hello Peter,

    I don't know if you can find a solution yet, but I'll post an answer here, because it might be useful for someone else.

    When a M function is called, the [SMC_Interpolator] block will indicate the function number at output [wM], and then stop all movements and wait for [bAckM].

    It is possible to send parameters using [SMC_GetMParameters] too (I didn't get to test this).

    According to DIN 66025, there are some fixed M-functions (like M30 = end program), but I did not find a definition in the codesys documentation. As far as I tested, the limit for function M would be 2^16.

    \o_
