3. MANUAL OPERATION
492
In manual handle feed or jog feed, the following types of feed operations
are enabled along with conventional single axis feed operation.
D Feed along a tilted straight line in the XY plane (M series) or ZX plane
(T series) based on simultaneous 2–axis control (linear feed)
D Feed along a circle in the XY plane (M series) or ZX plane (T series)
based on simultaneous 2–axis control (circular feed)

NOTE
The X–axis and Y–axis (M series) or Z–axis and X–axis (T
series) must be the first two controlled axes. The following
description applies to the X–Y plane for the M Series. For
the T Series, read the X–Y plane as the Z–X plane.
A line or circle definition is not required for axial feed. For linear or
circular feed, however, a line and circle must be defined, using the
interface described later. (For example, circular feed, the center and
radius of the circle must be specified.)
Part of the R area in the PMC is used for line and circle definitions. Set
the necessary data in this area using PMC or macro executor. See the
following descriptions for what data needs to be set at each address.
