NOTE
IS–A is available for Power Mate i–H.
IS–A is available for Power Mate i–D.
Combined use of the inch system and the metric system is not allowed.
There are functions that cannot be used between axes with different unit
systems. For the increment system, see the machine tool builder’s
manual.
The following least input increments can be set using a parameter:
Increment system Least input increment
IS–B 0.01 mm, 0.01 deg, or 0.001 inch
IS–C 0.001 mm, 0.001 deg, or 0.0001 deg
NOTE
1 When the IS–A increment system is used, the minimum
input increment cannot be made ten times greater than the
minimum command increment.
2 The minimum input increment for inch input is not affected.
The following table lists the maximum strokes of machine tools that are
allowed by the control unit:
Maximum stroke = Least command increment 99999999
See Sec. 1.3.
NOTE
1 A command that exceeds the maximum stroke is not
allowed.
2 The actual stroke varies from one machine to another.
