(4) Limits to interpolation control
There are limits to the interpolation control that can be executed and speed
(Interpolation speed designation method) that can be set, depending on the
reference axis and the "Unit setting of the interpolation axis". (For example,
circular interpolation control cannot be executed if the reference axis and
interpolation axis units differ.)
The following table shows the interpolation control and speed designation limits.

: Setting possible, : Setting not possible
*1 : "mm" and "inch" unit mix possible.
*2 : "degree" setting not possible.
The "Control system error (error code: 524)" will occur and the positioning
cannot be executed if circular interpolation control is set when the unit is
"degree".
The machine will immediately stop if "degree" is set during positioning control.
*3 : The unit set in the reference axis will be used for the speed unit during control
if the units differ or if "mm" and "inch" are combined.
