User agreement

If you are using Safety Integrated (SI) on your machine, you will need to confirm that the
current displayed position of an axis corresponds to its actual position on the machine when
you reference an axis. Your confirmation is the requirement for the availability of other Safety
Integrated functions.
You can only give your user agreement for an axis after it has approached the reference
point.
The displayed axis position always refers to the machine coordinate system (Machine).
Option
User agreement with Safety Integrated is only possible with a software option.
