1020 Program axis name for each axis
[Data type] Byte axis
Set the program axis name for each controlled axis, using one of the values
listed in the following table:
Axis
name
Setting
Axis
name
Setting
Axis

Axis

X 88 U 85 A 65 E 69
Y 89 V 86 B 66
Z 90 W 87 C 67
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 than one axis.
3 When the secondary auxiliary function (option) is provided, the address used by the secondary
auxiliary 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, corner 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 format,
address E cannot be used to specify the thread lead. Use address F to specify the thread lead.
1022 Setting of each axis in the basic coordinate system
NOTE
When this parameter is set, power must be turned off before
operation is continued.
[Data type] Byte axis
To determine the following planes used for circular interpolation, cutter
compensation C (for the M series), tool nose radius compensation (for the
T series), etc., each control axis is set to one of the basic three axes X, Y,
and Z, or an axis parallel to the X, Y, or Z axis.
G17: Plane Xp–Yp
G18: Plane Zp–Xp
G19: Plane Yp–Zp
Only one axis can be set for each of the three basic axes X, Y, and Z, but
two or more parallel axes can be set.
Set value Meaning
0 Neither the basic three axes nor a parallel axis
1 X axis of the basic three axes
2 Y axis of the basic three axes
3 Z axis of the basic three axes
5 Axis parallel to the X axis
6 Axis parallel to the Y axis
7 Axis parallel to the Z axis
