Positioning on the shortest way

This mode always permits the positioning of modulo rotary axes on the shortest way. This obviates the need for programming signs.

This mode is activated by the parameter P-CHAN-00346. However, if a pre-definition of rotation direction is desired, this requires relative programming in this mode.

Programing Example

prg_example

Programming examples of modulo programming in absolute dimensions

Assuming: Modulo range 0-360°, G90, current axis position 0°

C200 Rotate on shortest way (-160) to position 200

C+200  Rotate on shortest way (-160) to position 200

C-200 Rotate on shortest way (+160) to position -200 (= +160)

Programing Example

prg_example

Programming examples of modulo programming in relative dimensions

Assuming: Modulo range 0-360°, G91, current axis position +60°

C+200  Rotate in positive direction to position 260 (60+200)

C-200  Rotate in negative direction to position 220 (60-200)
