Notes
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes.
For Dual Processing controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set
in the parameters applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
Important: If you are performing planar functions on parallel axes, both
the parallel axis and the primary axis must be defined to use the same
integrand word.
Function
This parameter is used to determine the second primary axis that is used to
make up the plane called by G17, G18, or G19. This parameter sets which
axis is second in the plane. For example, if the G17 plane is to be set as
the XY plane, the parameter “G17 primary axis 2” should be set as Y. If
the G17 plane is to be set as the YX plane, the parameter “G17 primary
axis 2” should be set as X.
A value for this parameter may be chosen from these allowable axis
names: A, B, C, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, $B, $C, $X, $Y, or $Z. A value of
“None” may also be selected indicating that the plane that is selected with
that G-code is not used.
