Settings for NC Codes

This section groups together the settings involving
the interpretation and execution of NC codes that
you can manipulate on the machine. For others, use
NC programs.
 "NC Code Reference Manual"
Note: In order to make the setting related to NC code,
select [NC Code] or [Selected automatically (RML-1/
NC Code)] for command set.

setting], and display the [NC Code] tab, then make
the settings.
Workpiece origin offset (G54 through G59)
This setting affects the location of the workpiece coor-
dinate origin. Select the objective Coordinate System
from [Set Origin Point] on the VPanel and set the ref-
erence point. Note that making the setting in an NC
program by using G10 or G92 is also possible.
EXOFS
Follow the setting method described below.
1. Set the display of the coordinate system on the VPanel to
[Machine Coordinate System].
2. Specify the coordinate values of X, Y, and Z, respectively
from the dialog, [Move to user specified location]
3. Select [EXOFS] at the [Set Origin Point].
4. Select [Set "XYZ origin" here] in the VPanel and click the
[Apply].
Note that making the setting in an NC program by
