Note 1:
The unit of output increment (motion increment) and input increment of a linear axis is the
same as other linear axes (X-, Y-, and Z-axis). The linear axes indicated above can be treated
in exactly the same manner as other linear axes,
2:
When the inch system is selected by using inch/nm selection function, dimensions must be
input in units of inches as with other axes (X-, Y-, and Z-axis).

Least Input Increment and Least Output Increment
The least input and output increments vary depending on the type of controlled axis whether it is a
rotary axis or a linear axis.
(1) Least Input Increment
The least input increment to express axis movement distance that is input by using punched
tape or manual data input switches is indicated in Tables 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11.
