This tab is used to define the circle block output.
 PPG Editor: Circle |
Arc Direction Code: •Clockwise Arc Code: Typically G02 •C-clockwise Arc Code: Typically G03 |
The G Code for the principal planes in which the Arc motion is output. •XY: Typically G17 •ZX: Typically G18 •YZ: Typically G19 |
These options help define the output format for the circle command. •I,J,K and Radius: Output I,J,K and Radius •I,J,K only: Output only I,J,K. •Radius only: Output only Radius. •Output values only when different: Output I,J,K,R values only when different from the previous values. •Use -R for CW Arcs: Prefixes -R before clockwise arc motions. |
Defines the calculation of the arc center coordinates. •Absolute: is the absolute center •Vector from Center to Start: is (Center - Start) •Vector from Start to Center: is (Start - Center) •Unsigned vector: is the unsigned distance between center and start. |
Used to specify the block format for three different planes. Use the default button to see the default values and edit them if needed. |
This field displays sample output of the arc motion block. This field is non-editable. It indicates the parameters selected from the available options. |
This is used to limit arcs to a certain angle. This is helpful for certain types of controllers which cannot output arcs greater than a certain angle |
Reset all values in this section to their system defaults. |
