! Designation of “Absolute Mode” in a Rotary Axis
When an absolute value command (designation mode in a range of 0~359.999º) is
used in a rotary axis, the commanded +/- sign shows the rotation direction, and the
command value signifies the absolute position.
Example
When designating a position 180º from the current position:
Supplement
When moving to the 0º position by designating the absolute mode in a rotary axis, -0.0
cannot be designated in a counter-clockwise motion. In this case, designate -360.0.
! Number and Variable Tabulation Method
Numbers used in motion programs are of two types: parameters and variables. The
setting method for these numbers is given below.
