Axis Program Format Parameters

Chapter 16

16-4

Function

This parameter specifies whether trailing zero suppression mode is active

when a programmed word is decoded by the control. It should be disabled

when decimal point programming is being performed. When this

parameter is enabled, the control “left-justifies” the programmed word

according to the word format of the programmed word.

Leading zeros must be programmed to make sure that each word has its

required number of digits to the left and the right of the decimal point.

This number includes any suppressed trailing zeros.

For example, if this parameter is enabled and the X-axis word format is

4.3, then X01 is decoded as X0100.000 and X279 is decoded as

X2790.000.
