Axes Parameters
The Axes Setup Parameter Groups ranges from:
MC_2000 – MC_2099 for
X-axis Setup Parameters
MC_2100 – MC_2199 for
Y-axis Setup Parameters
MC_2200 – MC_2299 for
Z-axis Setup Parameters
MC_2300 – MC_2399 for
U-axis Setup Parameters
MC_2900 – MC_2999 for
Spindle-axis Setup Parameters
A detailed description of some specific axes parameters follows.
Setting the Display Resolution
Reference machine constant parameters:
MC_2050: X Display Resolution
MC_2150: Y Display Resolution
MC_2250: Z Display Resolution
MC_2350: U Display Resolution
.
Display Resolution allows you to set the resolution of the axis display.
The display resolution must be equal to or coarser than the actual
resolution of the installed linear encoder or rotary encoder. Changing the
Display Resolution does not affect the accuracy of the machine. Always
select resolution in microns, whether the CNC is in Inch Mode or MM
Mode. Ensure that resolution settings match the installed equipment. The
CNC displays a pop-up window with the choices: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, or 10
Microns. The axis display will show movement at the selected resolution.
