Limits to interpolation control
There are limits to the interpolation control that can be executed and speed ([Pr.20] Interpolation speed designation method)
that can be set, depending on the "[Pr.1] Unit setting" of the reference axis and interpolation axis. (For example, circular
interpolation control cannot be executed if the reference axis and interpolation axis units differ.)
The following table shows the interpolation control and speed designation limits.
: Setting possible, : Setting not possible.

*1 "mm" and "inch" unit mix possible.
When "mm" and "inch" are mixed, convert as follows for the positioning.
If interpolation control units are "mm", positioning is controlled by calculating position commands from the address, travel value,
positioning speed and electronic gear, which have been converted to "mm" using the formula: inch setting value 25.4 = mm setting
value.
If interpolation control units are "inch", positioning is controlled by calculating position commands from the address, travel value,
positioning speed and electronic gear, which have been converted to "inch" using the formula: mm setting value/25.4 = inch setting
value.
*2 "degree" setting not possible.
The error "Circular interpolation not possible" (error code: 199FH) will occur and the positioning control does not start if circular
interpolation control and 3-axis helical interpolation control is set when the unit is "degree".
The machine will carry out a deceleration stop if "degree" is set during positioning control.
*3 The unit set in the reference axis will be used for the speed unit during control if the units differ or if "mm" and "inch" are combined.
*4 Only linear interpolation axis can use a unit different from that of the reference axis.
Axis operation status during interpolation control
"Interpolation" will be stored in the "[Md.26] Axis operation status" during interpolation control. "Standby" will be stored when
the interpolation operation is terminated. Both the reference axis and interpolation axis will carry out a deceleration stop if an
error occurs during control, and "Error" will be stored in the operation status.
