There are 20 tools that may be set for the part when using absolute coordinates. The possible reference points (datum points) are from 0 to 19. The 20i-T model shows the active reference on the display at all times, whereas the 30i-T model only shows it when it is selected, after pressing the reference key.
1.2 Turning the unit on and off It turns on automatically when applying voltage or after pressing the on/off key. It shows Fagor dro or the corresponding error code. See the error table and PAR11 for more options. Turns the DRO on or off.
The third axis (Zs) display shows the feedrate of the fastest moving axis in m/min or feet/min depending on the status of the "inch" LED. To activate or cancel this option, see PAR11 in the installation manual. V0612 - 20i-T / 30i-T - Installation/Operation - DRO operation - (5/32)
2.2 Incremental, absolute and with respect to Machine Reference Zero This DRO shows the current position of two or three axes (20i-T / 30i-T). Coordinate means the distance from one point or position with respect with another chosen as reference.
This last method turns out to be more practical as after selecting the destination coordinate one only has to remember to move the axis until the DRO reads zero. V0612 - 20i-T / 30i-T - Installation/Operation - DRO operation - (7/32)

FAGOR is committed to repairing or replacing its products from the time when the first such product was launched up to 8 years after such product has disappeared from the product catalog. It is entirely up to FAGOR to determine whether a repair is to be considered under warranty. EXCLUDING The repair will take place at our facilities.
If there are OK, disconnect the feedback connectors one by one. If the dro comes on, it means a feedback failure. If the fault persists get in touch with Fagor Automation’s Customer Services Department about it.
