Incremental, Absolute And With Respect To Machine Reference Zero - Fagor Innova 20i-M Installation And Operation Manual

2.2 Incremental, absolute and with respect to Machine Reference Zero

(ABS)
(6/40) - DRO operation - Installation/Operation - 20i-M / 30i-M - V0703
A coordinate DRO displays the present coordinate of one or several axes.
Coordinate means the distance from one point or position with respect with
another chosen as reference.
These DROs can display the position of the axes in incremental or absolute
mode or referring to home.
The next figure shows the different position display modes:
• In Home mode, it displays the distance from the current position of the axis
to the home point chosen in the feedback system (linear or encoder).
Press this sequence to access the Home Search mode.
• In Absolute (ABS), when the ABS led is on , it displays the distance from
the present position of the axis to part zero (D).
(I)
• In Incremental, when the ABS and "home" LEDs are off the distance from
the present position of the axis to the previous position is displayed.
Toggles between the ABS and incremental modes.
It could occur that the installation parameter PAR11(1) has been set to "0" for
this key to independently affect each axis so that one axis can display its
position in incremental mode while the other does this in absolute. In this
case, to change the display mode for a particular axis, press one of these two
sequences.
