Modulo display of orientation axes

Function
The positions of orientation axes can be displayed for the BCS and WCS display in a settable
modulo area. Whether the machine axes are linear or rotary is not relevant in this context. This
means that this display option can be enabled even for normal generic 5/6-axis transformation.
Requirements
● Orientation axes must be available. This is the case if an orientation transformation is active
(e.g. generic 5-/6-axis transformation).
● The following machine data must also be set for OEM transformations:
MD24585 $MC_TRAFO5_ORIAX_ASSIGN_TAB_1[0..2]
Parameterization
The modulo display of orientation axes is activated as follows:
MD21132 $MC_ORI_DISP_IS_MODULO[0...2] = TRUE
The modulo range is defined with the help of the following machine data:
● MD21134 $MC_ORI_MODULO_RANGE[0...2]
(Size of the modulo range for the display of the orientation axes)
● MD21136 $MC_ORI_MODULO_RANGE_START[0...2]
(Starting position of the modulo range for the display of the orientation axes)
Please note the following:
● The machine data become effective with NEWCONF.
● The machine data does not have any influence or effects on:
– any axis positions that can be programmed for these axes.
– The traversing movements of these axes.
– The display of the MCS values of these axes
