WARNING
When switching inch input (G20) to metric input (G21) and
vice ve rsa, the tool compensation value must be re--set
according to the least input increment.
However, when bit 0 (OIM) of parameter 5006 is 1, tool
compensation values are automatically converted and
need not be re--set.
NOTE
1 When the least input increment and the least command
increment systems are different, the maximum error is half
of the least command increment. This error is not
accumulated.
2 Reference position return is performed at a low speed for
the first G28 command after the inch input is switched to the
metric input or vice versa.
3 The inch and metric input can also be switched using
settings.
