C.4.17. Coord1J
This task parameter specifies which task axis is the Coord1J axis for coordinate system 1.
This axis must be a linear type. The task Y axis does not have to be the Coord1J axis.
Coordinate system axes Coord1I, Coord1J, and Coord1K are used only as axes identifiers
of a three dimensional system. Any task axis can be assigned to any of the three
coordinate system axes. This mapping in conjunction with the selected plane (see
Coord1Plane parameter) determine which task axes can be used for circular motion. This
parameter is 0 based, where 0 represents the first axis, typically named X.
The G16 command may be used to assign this parameter more easily within a CNC
program however, it will not be saved to the task parameter .Ini file, requiring it to be
set within all CNC programs.
C.4.18. Coord1K
This task parameter specifies which task axis is the Coord1K axis for coordinate system
1. This axis must be a linear type. The task Z axis does not have to be the Coord1K axis.
Coordinate system axes Coord1I, Coord1J, and Coord1K are used only as axes identifiers
of a three dimensional system. Any task axis can be assigned to any of the three
coordinate system axes. This mapping in conjunction with the selected plane (see
Coord1Plane parameter) determine which task axes can be used for circular motion. This
parameter is 0 based, where 0 represents the first axis, typically named X.
The G16 command may be used to assign this parameter more easily within a CNC
program however, it will not be saved to the task parameter .Ini file, requiring it to be
set within all CNC programs.
C.4.19. Coord2Plane
This task parameter specifies which plane is active in coordinate system 2. Coordinate
system 2 is used for the circular G-codes G12 and G13. Plane 1 consists of the axis
specified by Coord2I and Coord2J task parameters. Plane 2 is defined by Coord2J and
Coord2K task parameters. Plane 3 is defined by Coord2K and Coord2I task parameters.
Any circular motion performed in coordinate system 2 must be in the active plane. The
active plane determines the default axes for incomplete targets of circular moves, refer to
the figure below. This parameter is 1 based, where 1 represents plane 1, comprised of the
axes defined by the Coord2I and Coord2J task parameters, Figure C-14. Refer to
Figure C-15 also.
