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.
Variable name | Type | Permitted range | Dimension |
mode | String | “ANGLE”, “VECTOR_ABC”, “VECTOR_IJK” | ---- |
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. |
| |
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! |
