Value Unit Format Remarks
In the current position page (See 4.2):
- coordinates of current position or mm if C_UNIT = 0 +053
distance left to travel inches if C_UNIT = 1 +044
- following error micrometre
In tuition mode (See 5.7.3), the mm if C_UNIT = 0 +053 make sure that the
coordinates copied in to the programme inches if C_UNIT = 1 +044 production unit (See G70 /
are the coordinates of the current position G71) is the same as the input
unit
In edit mode (See 5.4.2) or manual Production function +053 si C_UNIT = 0
data input mode (See 5.3), entry in G70 or G71 +044 si C_UNIT = 1
of coordinates X, Z…
Loading tool tables by peripheral mm if C_UNIT = 0
or computer (See 5.2.2.3) inches if C_UNIT = 1
Increment in manual mode (See 5.1.1.3) µm if C_UNIT = 0
10
-4
inches if conversion remainders
C_UNIT = 1 are accumulated
Execution of coordinates programmed mm in G71 +053
or input in MDI mode: X, Y, Z, inches in G70 +044
U, V, W, I, J, K, P, Q, R and ER
Feed rate F in G94 mm / min in G71
inches / min in G70
Feed rate F in G95 mm / rev in G71
inches / rev in G70
In information page (See 4.7): modal mm in G71
dimensions (X, Z...) and dimensions of inches in G70
current tool (X, Z and R)
Coordinates in a programme listing The programme listing is not modified by the units selected
displayed in the directory page (See 4.5) (only the interpretation of coordinates by the system during
or the programme page (See 4.8), unloaded machining is affected)
to a peripheral (See 5.6.1) or loaded from
a peripheral (See 5.4.1.1)
Programme variables (L, see 4.9) and No modification (these variables are stored as dimensionless
external parameters (E, see 4.10.2) numbers and are not assigned a unit until used)
!
CAUTION
When tool tables are loaded from a peripheral or a host computer, the value of bit C_UNIT
must be the same as when they were unloaded. Otherwise, the loaded values will be
changed.
When creating or editing a programme via the keyboard,
a coordinate whose format is compatible with C_UNIT
may be refused during execution if its format is incompatible with G70 or G71
(e.g. C_UNIT = 1 can authorise write of X4.9998 which is refused if execution
takes place in G71).
