Permanently radius-related data
For transverse axes, the following data is always entered, programmed and displayed in relation to radius:
• Offsets:
- Tool offsets
- Programmable and configurable frames
- External work offset
- DRF and preset offset
- etc.
• Working area limitation
• software limit switch
• Feed
• Display data with reference to the machine coordinate system
• Display data of the service images for axis, FSD and MSD
Extended functions for data that is always radius-related:
The following applies for PLC axes, via FC18 or axes controlled exclusively from the PLC:
• The dimension for PLC axes in the radius also applies to several transverse axes with diameter function and
is independent of channel-specific or axis-specific diameter programming.
• In the JOG mode (Inc) a PLC axis is subordinate to the channel status. If diameter programming is active and
MD20624 $MC_HANDWH_CHAN_STOP_COND bit 15 = 0, only half the path of the specified increment is
traversed.
Radius programming from MD20100 $MC_DIAMETER_AX_DEF and MD30460 $MA_BASE_FUNCTION_MASK
bit 2 is taken into account as follows depending on MD20360 $MC_TOOL_PARAMETER_DEF_MASK:
Displaying position values in the diameter
Position values of the transverse axis are always displayed as a diameter value, if bit 0 = 1 is set by
MD27100 $MC_ABSBLOCK_FUNCTION_MASK.

Work offset $P_EXTFRAME and frames
For transverse axes , work offsets in frames are always calculated as radius values.

External work office (axis overlay)
For transverse axes, the external work offset is always calculated as radius value.

Display of remaining path in WCS always as a radius

For all transverse axes, with MD11346 $MN_HANDWH_TRUE_DISTANCE==1
0
• half of the path of the specified handwheel increment is traveled, if channel-
specific or axis-specific diameter programming is active for this axis.
1
• half of the path of the specified handwheel increment is always traveled.

When jogging around circles, the circle center point coordinate is always a radius
value, see SD42690 $SC_JOG_CIRCLE_CENTRE

For cycle masks, the absolute values of the transverse axis are in the radius.
