: Reference to a vector.Input: Incremental traversing distance● [0]: Abscissa● [1]: Ordinate● [2]: ApplicateOutput (only for set hundred thousands digit in ): contains a unit vector v as output value which defines the further travers‐ing direction in the WCS.Case 1: Formation of vector v for , bit 4 == 1The input vectors <Dist> and <MaxDist> span the motion plane. This plane iscut by the violated limitation surface. The intersecting line of the two planesdefines the direction of vector v. The orientation (sign) is selected so that theangle between the input vector <MaxDist> and v is not greater than 90 degrees.Case 2: Formation of vector v for , bit 5 == 1Vector v is the unit vector in the projection direction of the traversing vectorcontained in <Dist> on the limitation surface. If the projection of the traversingvector on the limitation surface is the zero vector, an error is returned.Parameter type: Input/outputData type: VAR REAL [3]Range of values: -max.

This value is also used as limit value for the monitoring of theconventional protection zones and the collision avoidance protection zones.● [4]: Contains the minimum clearance for rotary machine axes which, forexample, cannot be assigned a geometry axis because of a non-lineartransformation.NoteThis value is only active for the monitoring of the software limit switches for specialtransformations.Parameter type: InputData type: VAR REAL [5]Range of values: -max.
