Referencing The Axis - Siemens SINUMERIK 802D Training Manual

Section 3

3.1 Referencing the axis

Machines with incremental measuring systems must first be referenced, in
order to synchronise the measuring system with the machine coordinate
system.
The machine should be in a ready condition before trying to travel to
the reference position !!
The controller is automatically in Jog—reference mode after successfully
powering up (JOG REF-mode).
Axis which require reference point approach are those shown below with
an empty circle behind the axis name.
Dependant upon the commissioning of the machine, it is possible to use
automatic referencing which is started simply by pressing „Cycle Start"
Or by pressing the axis direction key.
When the axis are successfully referenced, the referenced symbol will ap-
pear as shown below.
