6. INTERPOLATION FUNCTION
297
[Data type] Bit axis
[Valid data range] ROTx, ROSx Setting linear or rotation axis
ROSx ROTx Description
0 0 Linear axis
@ Inch/metric conversion is done.
@ All coordinate values are linear axis type.
(Not rounded in 0 to 360_)
@ Stored pitch error compensation is linear axis type (Refer to pa-
rameter No. 3624)
0 1 Rotation axis (A type)
@ Inch/metric conversion is not done.
@ Machine coordinate values are rounded in 0 to 360_
Rounding of absolute coordinate values and relative coordinate
values is decided by parameter No. 1008#0 and #2.
@ Stored pitch error compensation is of the rotation type. (Refer
to parameter No. 3624)
@ Automatic reference position return (G28, G30) is done in the
reference position return direction and the move amount does
not exceed one rotation.
1 0
Setting is invalid (unused)
1 1 Rotation axis (B type)
@ Inch/metric conversion is not done.
@ Machine coordinate values is of linear axis type (i.e. not rounded
in 0 to 360_).
@ Rounding of absolute coordinate values and relative coordinate
values is decided by parameter No. 1008#0 and #2.
@ Stored pitch error compensation is of linear axis type (Refer to
parameter No. 3624).
@ Cannot be used with the rotation axes roll over function and the
index table indexing function (M series).
NOTE
The rotation axis must be set to the normal direction control
axis.
5480 Number of the axis for controlling the normal direction
[Data type] Byte
[Valid data range] 1 to the maximum control axis number
This parameter sets the control axis number of the axis which controls the
normal direction.
5481 Rotation feedrate of normal direction control axis
[Data type] Word
[Unit of data] 1 deg/min
[Valid data range] 1 to 15000
This parameter sets the feedrate of a normal direction control axis that is
inserted at the start point of a block during normal direction control.
