The orientation you define for the machining plane is used by the TNC 
to calculate the appropriate positioning of the rotary axes present on 
the machine. In general there are always two solution possibilities. 
Use the SEQ switch to specify which possibility the TNC should use:
SEQ+
positions the master axis so that it assumes a positive angle.
The master axis is the 2nd rotary axis from the table, or the 1st axis 
from the tool (depending on the machine configuration (see figure at 
top right).
SEQ-
positions the master axis so that it assumes a negative angle.
If the solution you chose with SEQ is not within the machine’s range of 
traverse, the TNC displays the Entered angle not permitted error 
message.
If you do not define SEQ, the TNC determines the solution as follows:
1
The TNC first checks whether both solution possibilities are within 
the traverse range of the rotary axes.
2
If they are, then the TNC selects the shortest possible solution.
3
If only one solution is within the traverse range, the TNC selects 
this solution.
4
If neither solution is within the traverse range, the TNC displays 
the Entered angle not permitted error message.
When the PLANE AXIS function is used, the SEQ switch is 
nonfunctional.
