This type of reference consists of:
• Axis container number
• A slot (circular buffer location within the corresponding container)
The entry in a circular buffer location contains:
• A local axis
• A link axis
The axis container function is described in:

1.2 Coordinate systems
1.2
MCS
The machine coordinate system (MCS) has the following properties:
• It is defined by the machine axes.
• The machine axes can be perpendicular to each other to form Cartesian system or
• The names of the machine axes can be defined.
• The machine axes can be linear or rotary axes.
BCS
The basic coordinate system (BCS) has the following properties:
• The geometry axes form a perpendicular Cartesian coordinate system.
• The BCS is derived from a kinematic transformation of the MCS.
BZS
The basic zero system (BZS) is the basic coordinate system with a basic offset.
SZS
The settable zero system (SZS) is the workpiece coordinate system with a programmable
frame from the viewpoint of the WCS. The workpiece zero is defined by the settable frames
G54 to G599.
