Tilting the working plane through axis angle: 
PLANE AXIAL (FCL 3 function)
Function
The PLANE AXIAL function defines both the position of the working 
plane and the nominal coordinates of the rotary axes. This function is 
particularly easy to use on machines with Cartesian coordinates and 
with kinematics structures in which only one rotary axis is active.
PLANE AXIAL
can also be used if you have only one rotary
axis active on your machine.
You can use the PLANE RELATIVE function after PLANE 
AXIAL
if your machine allows spatial angle definitions. The
machine tool manual provides further information.
Before programming, note the following
Enter only axis angles that actually exist on your machine. 
Otherwise the TNC generates an error message.
Rotary axis coordinates defined with PLANE AXIAL are 
modally effective. Successive definitions therefore build 
on each other. Incremental input is allowed.
Use PLANE RESET to reset the PLANE AXIAL function. 
Resetting by entering 0 does not deactivate PLANE AXIAL.
SEQ,
TABLE ROT and COORD ROT have no function in
conjunction with PLANE AXIAL.
Parameter description for the positioning behavior: See 
“Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE 
function” on page 422.
