6.2 DATA TYPE
Parameters are classified by data type as follows:
Data type Valid data range Remarks
Bit
Bit machine group
Bit path
Bit axis
Bit spindle
0 or 1
Byte
Byte machine group
Byte path
Byte axis
Byte spindle
-128 to 127
0 to 225
Some parameters
handle these types of
data as unsigned
data.
Word
Word machine group
Word path
Word axis
Word spindle
-32768 to 32767
0 to 65535
Some parameters
handle these types of
data as unsigned
data.
2-word
2-word machine group
2-word path
2-word axis
2-word spindle
0 to ±999999999
Some parameters
handle these types of
data as unsigned
data.
Real
Real machine group
Real path
Real axis
Real spindle
See the Standard
Parameter Setting Tables.
NOTE
1 Each of the parameters of the bit, bit machine
group, bit path, bit axis, and bit spindle types
consists of 8 bits for one data number (parameters
with eight different meanings).
2 The machine group type allows data to be set
separately for each machine group.
3 The path type allows data to be set separately for
each path.
4 The axis type allows data to be set separately for
each control axis.
5 The spindle type allows data to be set separately
for each spindle axis.
6 The valid data range for each data type indicates a
general range. The range varies according to the
parameters. For the valid data range of a specific
parameter, see the explanation of the parameter.
