FUNCTION EXPLANATION
Once a single "G05;" block is specified in normal NC command
format, operation can be performed by specifying desired move data
and auxiliary functions in the following format.
By specifying zero for all of the travel distances along all axes and the
auxiliary function, the system subsequently accepts commands in
normal NC command format again..
• Binary input operation on: G05;
• Binary input operation off: Zero specified for all of the travel
distances along all axes and the auxiliary function

(1) In this format, the travel distance per unit time along each axis
(two bytes) is arranged for all axes, starting with the first axis,
followed by an auxiliary function (four bytes. See (6).) and by
the check byte (one byte).
(2) The unit time in msec can be specified with bits 0, 1, and 2 of
parameter No. 7618.
(3) All data must be in binary representation.
