TANG Definition of a tangential tracking / definition of the plane in which the tangential control should be active

Parameterizes the plane of tangential control and defines it. The "Slave axis" and "Coupling factor" parameters are expected during import, but ignored in the SRL program. The address letters of the Cartesian positions (X, Y, Z, A, B, C) are allowed as the slave axis. The coupling factor must be equal to the value 1, because this setting option does not exist. The "Master axis 1" and "Master axis 2" parameters expect the address letters for the Cartesian positions X, Y, Z. These define the plane in which the tangential control acts. A sequence of the address letters does not have to be observed, but the combination must formulate the permissible planes XY, ZX or YZ (alternatively thus YX, XZ, ZY)

INFORMATION: As an alternative to the TANG command, the plane of the tangential control can be specified by the G17 (XY), G18 (ZX) or G19 (YZ) commands.

Syntax: Observe Note on the syntax explanation

TANG (<SlaveAxis : (X,Y,Z,A,B,C)> , <MasterAxis1 : (X,Y,Z)>, <MasterAxis2 : (X,Y,Z)>, <CouplingFactor: 1>)

Example:

TANG(X, X,Y,1)

Implementation in the SRL program:

Plane := XY
