undamentals of path functions

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 229)
or approach block (APPR
block, see "Contour approach and departure", page 221).

Pre-positioning

Before running a part program, always pre-position the tool to prevent
the possibility of damaging it or the workpiece.
