3.3 Absolute (G90) or incremental (G91) coordinates
The coordinates of the various points may be defined in absolute
coordinates (referred to the active origin point) or incremental
coordinates (referred to the current position). The type of coordinates
may be selected by program using the following functions:
G90 Programming in absolute coordinates.
G91 Programming in incremental coordinates.
Both functions may be programmed anywhere in the program; they do
not have to go alone in the block.
Operation
After executing one of these functions, the CNC assumes that
programming mode for the following blocks. If none of these functions
is programmed, the CNC uses the work mode selected by machine
manufacturer [G.M.P. "ISYSTEM"].
Depending on the active work mode (G90/G91), the coordinates of the
points are defined as follows:
• When programming in absolute coordinates (G90), the
coordinates of the point are referred to the current origin of the
coordinate system, usually the part zero.
• When programming in incremental coordinates (G91), the
coordinates of the point are referred to the current tool position.
The preceding sign indicates the direction of the movement.
