Special cases and further details
All path data are always entered as radii even if for a facing axis with active G code
"DIAMON". If the part of one of the involved axes cannot be traversed completely, the paths
of the other axes will also be reduced accordingly in the _MAXDIST return value so that the
resulting end point lies on the specified path.
It is permissible that no software limits, operating range limits or protection zones are defined
for one or more of the axes involved. All limits are only monitored if the axes involved are
referenced. Any involved rotary axes are monitored only if they are not modulo axes.

_MAXDIST Remarks
[1] (= Y)
4.594 Protection zone SB N3 violated.
11.429 No protection zone monitoring, working
area limits violated.
17.143 Now only monitoring of the software
limits active.
0.000 Starting point violates protection C4
–.000 Pre-activated protection zone C4 is not
monitored. Defined path can be
traversed completely.
–.000 Because _DLIMIT[1]=2, the traversing
path is restricted by the working area
limits.
0.000 Clearance to C4 is a total of 4 mm due
to C2 and _DLIMIT[3]. Clearance C2 –
N3 of 0.1 mm does not lead to limiting
the traversing path.
21.213 Frame with translation and rotation
active The permissible traversing path in
_MOVDIST applies in the shifted and
rotated coordinate system (WCS).
