Direction of rotation DR for circular movements

When a circular path has no tangential transition to another contour
element, enter the direction of rotation as follows:

Clockwise direction of rotation: DR-
Counterclockwise direction of rotation: DR+

Radius compensation

The radius compensation must be in the block in which you move to
the first contour element. You cannot activate radius compensation in
a circle block. Activate it beforehand in a straight-line block (see "Path
Contours—Cartesian Coordinates", page 166)
or approach block
(APPR block, see "Contour Approach and Departure", page 158).
