Type of orientation representation (P-CHAN-00177)

With the "mode" parameter, you determine whether the values programmed in the NC program with A, B, C or I, J, K are to be interpreted as coordinate or angle values when complete kinematic transformation is active, or whether they are to be interpreted as corresponding vector components.

----

ANGLE

A, B, C or I, J, K represent coordinate or angle values (default).

VECTOR_ABC

A, B, C represent vector components.

VECTOR_IJK

I, J, K represent vector components.

CAUTION

Note that the I, J, K coordinate values are used for circle programming in compliance with DIN 66025 and so circle programming in combination with vector component programming via I, J, K is not admissible!
