6.3 Plane Selection

Plane selection system
In Table 1,
I is the horizontal axis for the G17 plane or the vertical axis for the G18 plane
J is the vertical axis for the G17 plane or the horizontal axis for the G19 plane
K is the horizontal axis for the G18 plane or the vertical axis for the G19 plane
In other words,
G17 ..... IJ plane
G18 ..... KI plane
G19 ..... JK plane
(1) The axis address commanded in the same block as the plane selection (G17, G18, G19)
determines which basic axis or parallel axis is used for the plane selection.
For the parameter registration example in Table 1.
G17X__Y__ ;
XY plane
G18X__V__ ;
VX plane
G18U__V__ ;
VU plane
G19Y__Z__ ;
YZ plane
G19Y__V__ ;
YV plane
(2) The plane will not changeover at a block where a plane selection G code (G17, G18, G19) is
not commanded.
G17X__Y__ ;
XY plane
Y__Z__ ;
XY plane (plane does not change)
(3) If the axis address is omitted in the block where the plane selection G code (G17, G18, G19) is
commanded, it will be viewed as though the basic three axes address has been omitted.
For the parameter registration example in Table 1.
G17 ;
XY plane
G17U__ ;
UY plane
G18U__ ;
ZU plane
G18V__ ;
VX plane
G19Y__ ;
YZ plane
G19V__ ;
YV plane
(4) The axis command that does not exist in the plane determined by the plane selection G code
(G17, G18, G19) is irrelevant to the plane selection.
For the parameter registration example in Table 1.
G17U__Z__ ;
(5) If the above is commanded, the UY plane will be selected, and Z will move regardless of the
plane.
If the basic axis and parallel axis are commanded in duplicate in the same block as the plane
selection G code (G17, G18, G19), the plane will be determined in the priority order of basic
axis and parallel axis.
For the parameter registration example in Table 1.
G17U__Y__W__-;
If the above is commanded, the UY plane will be selected, and W will move regardless of the plane.
(Note 1)
The plane set with parameter "#1025 I_plane" will be selected when the power is turned
ON or reset.
