- Balance cut specified with binary values
When bit 1 (MWP) of parameter No. 8103 is set to 0, the value
specified at address P is assumed to be obtained using binary values.
The following table lists the path numbers and corresponding binary
values.
Path number Binary value (decimal number)
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
7 64
8 128
9 256
10 512
The bit position of each path in binary representation is shown below.
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
To perform balance cutting for all of paths 1, 2, and 3, the P value is
obtained as follows:
Binary value of path 1 1 (0000 0000 0000 0001)
Binary value of path 2 2 (0000 0000 0000 0010)
Binary value of path 3 4 (0000 0000 0000 0100)
Sum 7 (0000 0000 0000 0111)
Balance cutting can be performed for all of the three paths by
specifying P7 together with the balance cut G code (G68).
To perform balance cutting for all of paths 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, the P
value is obtained as follows:
Path 1 (2
0
= 1)
Path 2 (2
1
= 2)
Path 3 (2
2
= 4)
Path 4 (2
3
= 8)
Path 5 (2
4
= 16)
Path 6 (2
5
= 32)
Path 7 (2
6
= 64)
Path 8 (2
7
= 128)
Path 9 (2
8
= 256)
Path 10 (2
9
= 512)
