Maximum permissible absolute radius difference (P-CHAN-00171)

The permissible absolute radius difference of the circle radii between the starting point and the destination point is defined via the "max_radius_diff_circle" parameter. If the radius difference of a programmed circle is under the limit defined by P-CHAN-00171, starting from the starting radius the circle radius is transferred in a linear fashion to the destination radius; - otherwise, an error message is issued. If the parameter is not assigned or is assigned the value 0, the function is inactive.

CAUTION

P-CHAN-00171 is active only when circle center point compensation is inactive (G164)
