5.1.4 Word Format - Main summary table
The formats of the axis words specified in the table are expressed as follows:
- For linear axes: 5 digits to the left and 3 to the right of the decimal point are allowed when the
internal system unit (see chapter 3.1) is µm.
- For rotary axes: 3 digits to the left and 4 to the right of the decimal point are allowed when the
internal system unit is 0.0001 degree.

For instance, for linear axes: if the system is set to 0.1µ (internal unit), the formats are expressed
with 4 decimal digits; for the X axis, the format is X+044.
For instance, for rotary axes: if the system is set to 0.001 degree (internal unit), the formats are
expressed with 3 decimal digits; for the B axis, the format is B+033.
For the words related to the machining feed rate with no assigned formats (F.., EF..), refer to the
machine manufacturer’s manual for the maximum and minimum feed rates (maximum 8 digits and
decimal point).

5.2 Programming with Reference to Diameter or Radius

The part program and certain data related to

machining along the X (or U) axis are directly affected
by whether programming is with reference to diameter X
or radius.
Point a
Programming with reference to diameter or radius is
selected by the machine builder.

Xa
In both cases, certain functions are always expressed

Xa
with respect to diameter and others with respect to
OP
radius.

5.2.1 System Programmed with Reference to Diameter

Programmed values expressed with reference to diameter:
• values programmed in absolute dimensions (G90): coordinates of a movement along X.. and
position I.. of the centre of a circle,
• value of the starting diameter with constant surface speed (G96),
• value programmed with function G98.

Programmed values expressed with reference to radius:

• values programmed in incremental dimensions (G91): value of a movement along X.. and
position I.. of the centre of a circle,
• circle radius with circular interpolation (R),
• fillet or chamfer (EB+, EB-),
• pass depth for roughing cycle (P or R),
• machining allowance for roughing cycles (I or K), (ER),
• positioning clearance for roughing cycle (Q),
• minimum depth of cut for roughing cycle (EQ),
• thread depth (P) and last pass for thread cutting (Q),
• pass depth for drilling cycle (P and Q),
• offsets programmed with functions G59 and G52.

Tool dimensions:
• Entry of values with respect to radius.

Dynamic tool corrections:

• Entry of values with respect to diameter, but display of radial change on the «context "Tools"»
page.

Value of offset DAT2:

• Entry of the value with reference to radius.

Movements related to the manual controls:

• Movements on the X axis with reference to radius, but display with reference to diameter on the
«context "production"» page.

5.2.2 System Programmed with Reference to Radius

Values expressed with reference to radius:
• All the programmed movements applied to the X axis and all the values entered related to
machining along X.

Values expressed with reference to diameter:

• Only the dynamic tool corrections on X are entered with reference to diameter.
