2.2 Control Commands
The control commands control the motion of each axis. This section explains the programming meth-
ods for the basic control commands.
2.2.1 ABSOLUTE MODE (ABS)
Caution
D The movement of a coordinate word designated in ABS mode is entirely different from that of the
same coordinate word designated in INC mode. Before starting operations, be sure to check that
the ABS or INC command is specified correctly.
Failure to carry out this check may result in damage to equipment, serious personal injury, or even death.
J Overview
The ABSOLUTE MODE (ABS) command causes the coordinate words that control axis move-
ment to be treated as absolute values in the workpiece coordinate system.
Once ABS mode has been executed, it remains in effect until INCREMENTAL MODE (INC)
is next executed. ABS mode is the default mode when the power is turned ON.

Description
The method of designating ABS mode is as follows:
ABS;
or
ABS MOV [axis1] − ;
axis 2
(axis 2)
axis 1
(axis 1)
Reference position
(0, 0)

In this manual, absolute mode is sometimes abbreviated as ABS mode.
