Configuring the Path Object
3.5 Assigning path object parameters/default values
Figure 3-6 Path object: Default settings - Path tab
You define the substitute values (default settings) for the path in this window.
You can set the following parameters:
Field/button
Path plane
Path mode
Limit dynamic path response to
transformed axis limit values
Polynomial default
Circle default
Direction of synchronous path
motion

Meaning/Instruction
Here, you specify the path plane: X_Y_Z / X_Y / Y_Z / Z_X
(default setting: x_y_z for 3D; for 2D kinematics, this is implicitly x_y)
(userDefault.path.plane)
Specify the path mode: absolute or relative
(userDefault.path.mode)
Here, you specify whether the dynamic path response should be limited to the
transformed axis limit values.
(userDefault.path.dynamicAdaption)
See Limiting the path dynamics (Page 32).
Here, you specify the type of the polynomial interpolation.
(userDefault.path.polynomialMode)
See Polynomial paths (Page 26).
Here, you specify the type of the circular interpolation.
(userDefault.path.circularType)
See Circular paths (Page 22).
Here, you specify the direction of the positioning axis for path-synchronous motion.
(userDefault.w.direction)
See Functionality of path-synchronous motion (Page 40).
