• Fine and FineDist

  The difference between Fine and FineDist is the unit of the positioning check .

• Fine statement sets the positioning check value in pulse, and the positioning check is performed on each axis.

• FineDist statement sets the positioning check value in mm, and the positioning check is performed in the coordinate system of Tool number 0.

Fine and FineDist can be used at the same time. If Fine and FineDist are used in the program as shown below, the positioning check will be performed by FineDist.

(If the order of Fine and FineDist is reversed, Fine will perform the positioning check.)

Function test
    Fine 5, 5, 5, 5
    FineDist 0.1

    Go P1
    Go P2
Fend

Potential Error
If FineDist positioning is not completed within about 2 seconds, Error 4024 will occur. This error normally means the servo system balance needs to be adjusted.
