(2) Axis pattern
Whether or not each axis will be used is indicated by “1” or “0.”
(Upper) (Lower)
Axis number Axis 4 Axis 3 Axis 2 Axis 1
Used 1 1 1 1
Not used 0 0 0 0
[Example] When axes 1 and 2 are used
Axis 2
0011 --- (The two 0s in front are not necessary. With the 0s removed, the expression reads “11.”)
Axis 1
[Example] When axes 1 and 4 are used
Axis 4
1001 --- (In this case, the 0s are needed to indicate the position of axis 4.)
Axis 1
Indirect specification of axis pattern in a variable
The axis pattern is considered a binary value, and a converted decimal value is assigned to a variable.
[Example] To perform home return for axis 3 only, you can specify as follows based on axis pattern:
HOME 100
In indirect specification, 100 (binary) is expressed as 4 (decimal), so the same operation
can be specified as follows:
LET 6 4
HOME *6
If you must select and specify multiple axes at the same time, use axis pattern.
