This means that the modulo transition of the axis must not be in the traversing range of the
path motions. The modulo range and the modulo starting point as well as the position of the
modulo range relative to the intended path travel range must be set appropriately, for
example, using the settings for reference point and reference point offset during homing.
2.4 Units
All axis-related values are displayed in the quantity and unit of the assigned (interconnected)
axes.
The Cartesian coordinates are indicated in a unit of length. The default setting for Cartesian
values is [mm].
The default unit for rotary values, such as rotary angle, is [°] and calculated as degrees.
The transformation calculates directly with the numerical values. There is no unit conversion
for transformations provided by the system. Thus, the same units must be used for the same
base value, e.g, length specification.
Note
Use the same units for all objects associated with the path object that have the same
reference quantities (e.g. linear axes in mm, rotary axes in °). Avoid, for example, the mixing
of metric and non-metric units for the involved axes.
