G90 (Absolute input)

Position a to f can be commanded in the absolute input mode as given table below.

G91 (INCREMENTAL INPUT)

Now, points A to f are commanded in the incremental input mode.

As expressed above, the current position is always taken as zero point. This method refers
to incremental input. When programming, the G91 code commands the incremental input
mode. This is the same for the z-axis.
In an actual program, these are commanded as follows
(Command block for pointd in the absolute input mode)
G90X30.000Y-30.000
G90X30.Y-30

or

This is because the minimum input increment of the system is .0001mm. the use of the
decimal point input is also available. Note, however, that the addresses allowing the
decimal point input are limited as follows:
X,Y,Z,A,B,C,I,J,K,R,Q & F
