Allowable circular interpolation error width 
 
With the "allowable circular interpolation error width", the allowable error range of 
the calculated arc path and end point address is set. 
1 
If the error of the calculated arc path and end point address is within the set range, 
circular interpolation will be carried out to the set end point address while 
compensating the error with spiral interpolation. 
The allowable circular interpolation error width is set in the following axis buffer 
memory addresses. 
 
•
  If axis 1 is the reference axis, set in the axis 1 buffer memory address  
[60, 61]. 
•
  If axis 2 is the reference axis, set in the axis 2 buffer memory address  
[210, 211]. 
•
  If axis 3 is the reference axis, set in the axis 3 buffer memory address  
[360, 361]. 
•
  If axis 4 is the reference axis, set in the axis 4 buffer memory address  
[510, 511].

1:
 With circular interpolation control using the center point designation, the arc 
path calculated with the start point address and center point address and the 
end point address may deviate.
