2.1.6 Scaling of physical quantities of machine and setting data
Input/output units
Machine and setting data that possess a physical quantity are interpreted in the input/output
units below depending on whether the metric or inch system is selected:
Physical quantity: Input/output units for standard basic system:
Metric Inch
Linear position 1 mm 1 inch
Angular position 1 degree 1 degree
Linear velocity 1 mm/min 1 inch/min
Angular velocity 1 rpm 1 rpm
Linear acceleration 1 m/s
2
1 inch/s
2
Angular acceleration 1 rev./
s2
1 rev./s
2
Linear jerk 1 m/s
3
1 inch/s
3
Angular jerk 1 rev./s
3
1 rev./s
