Number of allowed work zero offsets for series
The total number of work zero offsets you may access depends upon the number you have purchased for your CNC.
The number of zero offsets for series are:
CNC | Total number of allowed Work Zero offsets | |
---|---|---|
Series 150/150i, 0i-D | 0-6, 7-54 | |
Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i-210i, 0i-A/B/C M | 0 -6, 7-54, 55-306 | |
Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i-210i, 0i-A/B/C T | 0-6 | |
Series 30i/31i/32i | 0-6, 7-54, 55-306 | |
Value | Definition | |
0 | External work zero offset value of Common. | |
1,..,6 | Work zero offset value of G54 through G59. | |
7,..,54 | Work zero offset value of G54.1P1 through G54.1P48. | |
55,..,306 | Work zero offset value of G54.1P49 through G54.1P300. |
Significant digits before and after a decimal point
For example, the number of significant digits you can enter before and after the decimal point can include the following. Be aware that the actual number of digits will vary based on the CNC model you are using.
For | Number of Digits | |
---|---|---|
Inches | Before the decimal point | Up to 4 digits |
After the decimal point | 4 digits | |
Example 9999.9999 is valid 99999.9999 is not. | ||
Millimeters | Before the decimal point | Up to 5 digits |
After the decimal point | 3 digits |
Work Zero Offset Notes
When configuring an array point to access work zero offset data, keep in mind that data is addressed one axis at a time.
Example
Configuraton | Description |
---|---|
Array point | 10 elements |
Address for the point | WZO1A1 |
Array | Description |
First element | Offset 1, Axis 1 |
Second element | Offset 2, Axis 1 (not Offset 1, Axis 2). |
Work Zero Offset attributes
To configure a point to access work zero offset data, you must specify the following information.
Point Class | ANALOG |
Type | REAL |
Access | Read or Read/Write |
Valid Addresses | WZOxAy, where x is a valid tool offset number for your CNC, and y is a valid axis number. |
Address Offset | N/A |
