Hypothetical axis command mode and real axis command mode
- Hypothetical axis command mode
During the hypothetical axis command mode, the command for the hypothetical work
coordinate or for the hypothetical machine coordinate are available. The command for
the hypothetical axes (X,Y) is converted to the movements of real axes (V,C) in the
hypothetical plane. The command for the axis out of the hypothetical plane (Z) is
executed without any conversion.

It is necessary for hypothetical axis command mode that all real axes and hypothetical
axes in the hypothetical plane are completed to establish the reference position.
During the hypothetical axis command mode, if the only one axis loses the reference
position by some reason, the alarms (P/S5359 and PS000) are generated.
1) Automatic operation
The command for X,Y,Z axes is allowed.
The alarm (P/S5357) is generated when the real axes in the hypothetical plane
(V,C) are commanded.
2) Manual operation
The operation for X,Y,Z axes is allowed. The operation for the real axes in the
hypothetical plane (V,C) is ignored.
- Real axis command mode
During the real axis command mode, the command for the real axes (V,C,Z) is
allowed. And executed without any conversion.
1) Automatic operation
The command for the real axes V,C,Z is allowed.
The alarm is generated when the hypothetical axes (X,Y) are commanded.
2) Manual operation
The operation for the real axes (V,C,Z) is allowed.
The operation for the hypothetical axes (X,Y) is ignored.
- Mode switching
Mode switching between the hypothetical axis command mode and the real axis
command mode can be commanded by DI signal IMMD (G290#7) from PMC. The
status of the current mode can be shown by DO signal IMMDO (F290#7).
In case the mode switching is necessary during automatic operation, it is necessary to
use M code which prevents the buffering (Parameter No.3411-3420).
If the mode switching is executed without non-buffering M code in automatic operation,
the alarm (P/S5359) is generated.
FIN signal for the mode switching M code should be output by PMC after the mode
has been changed completely by checking DO signal IMMDO (F290#7). The axis
movement should be interlocked by PMC during mode switching sequence.

Also, it is necessary for hypothetical axis command mode that all real axes and
hypothetical axes in the hypothetical plane are completed to establish the reference
