1. AXIS CONTROL
6
NOTE
1 With the T series, when G code system A is used, neither
U, V, nor W can be used as an axis name. Only when G code
system B or C is used, U, V, and W can be used as axis
names.
2 The same axis name cannot be assigned to more then one
axis.
3 When the secondary auxilliary function (option) is provided,
the address used by the secondary auxilliary function
(address B with the T series or, with the M series, the
address specified in parameter No.3460) cannot be used as
an axis name.
4 With the T series, when address C or A is used for
chamfering, comer rounding, or direct drawing dimension
programming (when the CCR parameter (bit 4 of parameter
No.3405) is set to 1), addresses C or A cannot be used as
an axis name.
5 Only with the T series, address E can be used as an axis
name. Address E cannot be used with the M series. When
address E is used as an axis name, note the following:
– When G code system A is used, address E is always
assigned to an absolute command.
– When an equal–lead threading command (G32) is
issued in the Series 15 command lead. Use address F to
specify the thread lead.
NOTE
With 2–path control, when information (such as the current
position) about each axis is displayed on the screen, an axis
name may be followed by a subscript to indicate a path
number (e.g.,X1 and X2). This is an axis name to help the
user to easily understand which path an axis belongs to.
When writing a program, the user must specify X, Y, Z, U,
V, W, A, B, and C without using a subscript.
