[Function] Move along an arc originating from the current position by keeping a specified radius from the
center position, via arc interpolation.
Specify the center position in operand 1, and the center angle formed by the position origin
and end position in operand 2. The center angle is set in a range from –3600 to 3600 degrees
(±10 revolutions). A positive value indicates CCW (counterclockwise-direction) movement,
while a negative value indicates CW (clockwise-direction) movement (setting unit: degree).
The center angle is set in degrees and may include up to three decimal places.
The speed and acceleration will take valid values based on the following priorities:
Priority Speed Acceleration (deceleration)
1
Setting in the position data
specified in operand 1
Setting in the position data specified in operand 1
2 Setting by VEL command Setting by ACC (DCL) command
3
Default acceleration in all-axis parameter No. 11
(Default deceleration in all-axis parameter No. 12)
If speed is not set, a “C88 speed specification error” will generate.
If acceleration/deceleration is not valid, a “C89 acceleration/deceleration specification error” will
generate.
(Note 1) This command is valid on arbitrary orthogonal planes. (Axis 2 may be selected automatically
prior to axis 1 in accordance with the position data.)
[Example] VEL 100 Set the speed to 100 mm/sec.
ARCC 100 120 Move along an arc from the position origin for a center angle
of 120 degrees around position No. 100 being the center
(CCW direction).
(Note 2) The rotating direction of the actual operation locus varies depending on whether the system is
of gate type or cantilever type. Be sure to perform test operation to check the rotating
direction.
