Abstract
A numerically controlled production system is connected to a numerical controller, which includes a control program with successive program sets, and a look-ahead module which determines therefrom for successive clock-cycle points a movement profile with guidance variables for a movement axis prior to a movement. Subject to a condition, the control program includes program branching with multiple alternative control program sections, and determines which of the alternative control program sections is to be additionally executed subject to the condition. The look-ahead module calculates and stores an alternative movement profile for each alternative control program section prior to an additional movement, and holds the alternative movement profile available for the conditional program branching in order to carry out the additional movement.
