Skip blocks are identified by placing a "/" character in front of the block number. The instructions in the skip blocks are not executed and the program resumes with the next block that is not skipped.
As many as 8 skip levels (/0 to /7) may be programmed. The individual skip levels are activated via a data block in the PLC interface.
Benefits
CNC blocks that are not to be executed in every program run, e.g. execution of a trial program run, can simply be skipped
