MOTN-098: Circle angle too large
The taught points for a circular move define an arc bigger than a half circle, which a single Circular instruction can't produce.
What it means
The taught points for a circular move define an arc bigger than a half circle, which a single Circular instruction can't produce.
Common causes
Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.
- The three taught points describe an arc larger than 180 degrees when only a half circle or less is supported by one Circular instruction.
- The via point isn't positioned between the start and destination points, so the geometry resolves to more than half a circle.
How to fix it
- If you actually need an arc larger than a half circle, split it across two or more Circular instructions.
- If you meant an arc smaller than a half circle, reposition the via point so it falls between the start and destination points.
- Review the taught points and correct them as needed.
