General Precautions
• If the following coordinate commands are designated incorrectly, the subsequent move operations will
be entirely different than those expected. Before starting operations, be sure to check that the settings
are designated correctly.
The coordinate commands that must be checked are as follows:
• Absolute Programming Mode (ABS)
• Incremental Programming Mode (INC)
• Current Position Set (POS)
• Move ON Machine Coordinates (MVM)
