Relative data
Data whose values are based on another contour element are
called relative data. The soft keys and program words for entries
begin with the letter
R for R elative. The figure at right shows the
entries that should be programmed as relative data.
The coordinates and angles for relative data are
always programmed in incremental dimensions. You
must also enter the block number of the contour
element on which the data are based.
The block number of the contour element on which
the relative data are based can only be located up to
64 positioning blocks before the block in which you
program the reference.
If you delete a block on which relative data are
based, the TNC will display an error message.
Change the program first before you delete the
block.
