CAUTION
Axis moving signals and axis moving direction signals are
output in both automatic and manual operations.
Mirror image can be applied to each axis, either by signals or by
parameters (setting input is acceptable). All movement directions are
reversed during automatic operation along axes to which a mirror image
is applied.

Mirror image (Example for T series)
However, the following directions are not reversed:
-- Direction of manual operation and direction of movement, from the
intermediate position to the reference position during automatic
reference position return (for the M and T series)
-- Approach direction for single direction positioning (G60) and shift
direction for boring cycles (G76 and G87) (for M series only)
Mirror image check signals indicate whether mirror image is applied to
each axis. System variable #3007 contains the same information (refer
to the operator’s manual).
[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Apply mirror image to the specified axes.
[Operation] Apply mirror image to those axes for which the signals are 1.
These signals are provided for the controlled axes on a one--to--one basis.
A number appended to a signal represents the controlled axis number.
