The position 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 1st rotary axis from the tool, or the last rotary 
axis from the table (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 AXIAL function is used, the PLANE RESET 
switch is nonfunctional.
