Note
Additional options for circular path programming are available with
CT - circle with tangential connection and
CIP - circle via intermediate point (see next sections).
Input tolerances for the circle
Circles are only accepted by the control system with a certain dimensional tolerance. The
circle radius at the starting and end points are compared here. If the difference is within the
tolerance, the center point is exactly set internally. Otherwise, an alarm message is issued.
The tolerance value can be set via machine data (see "Operating Instructions" 802D sl).
