30.19 POSITION SWITCH FUNCTION
The position switch function outputs a signal to a specified
controlled-axis when the machine coordinates of the controlled-axis
are within the range specified by the corresponding parameter.
The parameter specifies an arbitrary controlled-axis and the operating
range (machine coordinates) within which the position switch signal is
output.
Up to ten position switch signals can be output.
