Axis configuration
The axis configuration below is recommended.
Axis name | Axis type (P-AXIS-00018) | Axis mode (P-AXIS-00015) |
A1 | Linear | Linear |
A2 | Rotation | Linear |
A3 | Rotation | Linear |
A4 | Rotation | Linear, modulo range -180° to 180° |
A5 | Rotation | Linear, modulo range -180° to 180° |
![]() | Software limit switches can be configured for axes with linear axis mode to reduce the risk of collisions, |
The position of the axes in space is described in the zero position of the machine. A mount point is specified in the Machine Coordinate System for each rotary axis.
There is a length and angle offset for each axis.

Tool offset data of the kinematic
The parameters HD1 to HD6 are available for a tool flanged onto axis A5.
![]() | If a tool length is active (`V.G.WZ_AKT.L`.), it is added to `HD3`. |
Use of coordinate systems (#CS command)
If a coordinate system (#CS command) is used, the channel parameter P-CHAN-00247 must be set to 1.
If P-CHAN-00247 is not set, the #CS command has no effect.
