3) Setting of operation pattern
- In case of main axis, operation pattern should be specified as ‘END’ or ‘KEEP’. In case it is
specified as ‘CONT’, it operates as ‘KEEP’.
- In case of subsidiary, pattern doesn’t affect the operation, it operates according to main axis
pattern.

< Figure 3-6 linear interpolation operation by absolute coordinates >
• If linear interpolation starts, main axis is determined automatically based on moving amount of X
and Y axis. In table 3-6, since moving amount of X axis is larger than Y axis X, X axis becomes
main axis.
• So operation pattern, speed, A/D number, dwell time of Y axis is ignored and it is specified
automatically according to operation data of X axis.
• Figure 3-7 indicates operation of linear interpolation control.
