Abstract
A numerical control for operating a machine tool having a plurality of axes, includes a drive controller for each axis to be actuated, the drive controllers being able to be parameterized via machine parameters and thus adaptable to the most varied applications. Variable control values and machine parameters are selectable via tapping points in the drive controllers in order to be used as arguments or parameters of a user-defined function for calculating an output value, which is used for function-dependent influencing of one of the drive controllers.

A numerical control for operating a machine tool having a plurality of axes, comprising:
- a drive controller for each axis to be actuated, the drive controller adapted to be parameterized via machine parameters and adaptable to a plurality of machine tools;
- wherein variable control values and machine parameters are selectable at tapping points in the drive controllers in order to be used as at least one of (a) arguments and (b) parameters of a user-defined function to calculate an output value, the output value adapted for function-dependent influence of one of the drive controllers.
