10.2.1 General remarks on the axis-specific resolutions

The axes can be matched to the controls via MD. It must be remembered that only specific
combinations are permissible, and care must be taken that the boundaries, maximum axis
speed and range limits are not exceeded.
The following types of resolution can be specified for axes:
• Input resolution:Set via MD for all axes
• Geometry resolution:
• Position control resolution:
• Display resolution:
• Measuring system resolution:
The measuring system resolution is used for adapting the axes to the measuring system.

10.2.2 Input, display and position control resolution

The input resolution for the entire control is defined in MD 5002, bits 4 to 7. The input
resolution defines the geometry resolution for linear and rotary axes. Rotary axes have the
same input resolution as linear axes. The geometry resolution determines the interpolation
accuracy.
The input resolution also defines the number of maximum programmed decimal places after
the decimal point for positional values in the part program as well as the number of decimal
places after the decimal point for TO, ZO, SD etc. (and therefore also the maximum
achievable degree of precision).
The input resolution defines the units system (inch - metric - degrees).
The input resolution must be taken into account when entering machine data that must be
stored in the input system. The default value for linear axes is 10
