feedrate set as a variable

[Tom Brown from Stork Inc.]

I'm wondering if anyone can help me output my feedrate as "VC52" instead of an actual feedrate. I want my program to output "VC" when at 100%, VC52*1.5 when at 150% and ect. We're trying to utilize our common variables for feedrates on larger programs.

Well you could do it a couple ways. You could you a misc integer to do it. You could do a condition statement for the feed rate so that if equals or is greater than a number it outputs one thing and if it is greater than that number it outputs something different. Can try setting up the same way they have set-up change gears with certain RPM like in lathe and use a string to do it. Just depends on what you are comfortable doing or know how to do.
