A.2 DATA TYPE
Parameters are classified by data type as follows:
Data type Valid data range Remarks
Bit
Bit machine group
Bit path
Bit axis
Bit spindle
0 or 1
Byte
Byte machine group

Some parameters handle
these types of data as
unsigned data.

0 to 65535
Some parameters handle
these types of data as
unsigned data.
2-word
2-word machine group
2-word path
2-word axis
2-word spindle
0 to ±999999999
Some parameters handle
these types of data as
unsigned data.
Real

Real path
Real axis
Real spindle
See the Standard
Parameter Setting
Tables.
NOTE
1 Each of the parameters of the bit, bit machine group, bit path, bit axis, and bit
spindle types consists of 8 bits for one data number (parameters with eight different
meanings).
2 For machine group types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of
machine groups are present, so that independent data can be set for each machine
group.
3 For path types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of paths are
present, so that independent data can be set for each path.
4 For axis types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of control axes
are present, so that independent data can be set for each control axis.
5 For spindle types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of spindles
are present, so that independent data can be set for each spindle axis.
6 The valid data range for each data type indicates a general range. The range varies
according to the parameters. For the valid data range of a specific parameter, see
the explanation of the parameter.
