3.5.3 Angle and Cartesian coordinate.
In the main plane, a point may be defined using one of its Cartesian coordinates (X..Z) and
the angle (Q) formed by the abscissa axis and the line joining the starting point and the final
point. To represent a point in space, the rest of the coordinates may be programmed in
Cartesian coordinates.
Both values, coordinate and angle, must always be programmed; otherwise, compatibility
is maintained with Polar/Cartesian programming. This type of programming is valid for linear
and circular interpolations.
• The coordinates may be absolute (G90) or increment (G91) and may be given in mm or
inches.
• The angle will always be an absolute value (regardless of the active G90/G91 function)
and it must be given in degrees.
Like in Polar programming, coordinate-angle programming is not possible while the MCS
function is active.
