Programming Notes
Notes
- In the G72.2 block, addresses other than P, L, I and J are ignored.
- P, I and J must always be specified.
- If L is not specified, the figure is copied once.
- For shifts (I, J), specify increments. The n-th geometric shift is equal to the specified shift times (n – 1).
First block of the subprogram
Always specify a move command in the first block of a subprogram that performs a linear copy. If the first block contains only the program number such as O00001234; and does not have a move command, movement may stop at the start point of the figure made by the n-th (n = 1,2, 3, …) copying.
Example of an incorrect program
O00001234 ; G00 G90 X100.0 Y200.0 ; ; ; M99 ;
Example of a correct program
O00001000 G00 G90 X100.0 Y200.0 ; ; ; M99 ;
Limitation
Specifying two or more commands to copy a figure
G72.2 cannot be specified more than once in a subprogram for making a linear copy (If this is attempted, alarm PS0901 will occur).
In a subprogram that specifies linear copy, however, rotational copy (G72.1) can be specified. Similarly, in a subprogram that specifies rotational copy, linear copy can be specified.
Commands that must not be specified
Within a program that performs a linear copy, the following must not be specified:
Command for changing the selected plane (G17 to G19)
Command for specifying polar coordinates (G16)
Reference position return command(G28)
Axis switching
Coordinate system rotation (G68)
scaling (G51)
programmable mirror image (G51.1)
Single block
Single-block stops are not performed in a block with G721.1 or G72.2.
