14. Coordinates System Setting Functions
14.9 Reference point check; G27
Function and purpose
This command first positions the tool at the position assigned by the program and then, if that
positioning point is the first reference point, it outputs the reference point arrival signal to the
machine in the same way as with the G28 command. Therefore, when a machining program is
prepared so that the tool will depart from the first reference point and return to the first reference
point, it is possible to check whether the tool has returned to the reference point after the program
has been run.

Detailed description
(1) If the P command has been omitted, the first reference point will be checked.
(2) The number of axes whose reference points can be checked simultaneously depends on the
number of axes which can be controlled simultaneously.
Note that the display shows one axis at a time from the final axis.
(3) An alarm will occur if the reference point is not reached after the command is completed.
