Direction of rotation DR for circular movements
When a circular path has no tangential transition to another contour
element, enter the direction of rotation as follows:
Clockwise direction of rotation: DR-
Counterclockwise direction of rotation: DR+
Radius compensation
The radius compensation must be in the block in which you move to
the first contour element. You cannot activate radius compensation in
a circle block. Activate it beforehand in a straight-line block (see "Path
Contours—Cartesian Coordinates", page 191) or approach block
(APPR block, see "Contour Approach and Departure", page 183).
