19680 Mechanical unit type
[Data type] Byte
[Valid data range] 0 to 21
Specify the type of the mechanical unit.
Controlled rotary axis Master and slave
0 Mechanism having no
rotary axis
2 Two rotary axes of the
tool
The first rotary axis is the master, and
the second rotary axis is the slave.
12 Two rotary axes of the
table
The first rotary axis is the master, and
the second rotary axis is the slave.
21 One rotary axis of the tool
+ one rotary axis of the
table
The first rotary axis is the tool rotary axis,
and the second rotary axis is the table
rotary axis.
NOTE
A hypothetical axis is also counted as a controlled
rotary axis.
<Hypothetical axis>
In some cases, it is convenient to use an imaginary
rotary axis whose angle is fixed to a certain value.
For example, suppose that a tool is mounted in a
tilted manner through an attachment. In such a
case, the rotary axis considered hypothetically is a
hypothetical axis. Bits 0 (IA1) and 1 (IA2) of
parameter No. 19696 determine whether each
rotary axis is an ordinary rotary axis or a
hypothetical axis.

19681 Controlled-axis number for the first rotary axis
[Data type] Byte
[Valid data range] 0 to number of controlled axes
Set the controlled-axis number for the first rotary axis.
For a hypothetical axis (when bit 0 (IA1) of parameter No. 19696 is 1),
set 0.
