Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Description
1.5 Coordinate systems
Note
This documentation assumes an 802D standard machine control panel (MCP). Should you
use a different MCP, the operation may be other than described herein.
1.5 Coordinate systems
As a rule, a coordinate system is formed from three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes.
The positive directions of the coordinate axes are defined using the so-called "3-finger rule"
of the right hand. The coordinate system is related to the workpiece and programming takes
place independently of whether the tool or the workpiece is being traversed. When
programming, it is always assumed that the tool traverses relative to the coordinate system
of the workpiece, which is intended to be stationary.

Figure 1-2 Determination of the axis directions to one another; coordinate system for programming
Machine coordinate system (MCS)
The orientation of the coordinate system relative to the machine depends on the respective
machine type. It can be rotated in different positions.
The directions of the axes follow the "3-finger rule" of the right hand. Seen from in front of the
machine, the middle finger of the right hand points in the opposite direction to the infeed of
the main spindle.

Figure 1-3 Machine coordinates/axes using the example of a milling machine
The origin of this coordinate system is the machine zero.
This point is only a reference point which is defined by the machine manufacturer. It does not
have to be approachable.
The traversing range of the machine axes can be in the negative range.
Workpiece coordinate system (WCS)
To describe the geometry of a workpiece in the workpiece program, a right-handed, rightangled coordinate system is also used.
The workpiece zero can be freely selected by the programmer in the Z axis. In the X axis, it
lies in the turning center.

Description
1.5 Coordinate systems
Relative coordinate system (REL)
In addition to the machine and workpiece coordinate systems, the control system provides a
relative coordinate system. This coordinate system is used for setting reference points that
can be freely selected and have no influence on the active workpiece coordinate system. All
axis movements are displayed relative to these reference points.
Note
The actual value in the associated coordinate system can be activated and displayed in the
"Position" operating area using the "MKS/WKS REL" vertical softkey.
Clamping the workpiece
For machining, the workpiece is clamped on the machine. The workpiece must be aligned
such that the axes of the workpiece coordinate system run in parallel with those of the
machine. Any resulting offset of the machine zero with reference to the workpiece zero is
determined along the Z axis and entered in a data area intended for the settable work offset.
In the NC program, this offset is activated during program execution, e.g. using a
programmed G54.

The axis coordinates used for the calculation refer to the machine coordinate system.
This function can be used to determine the unknown geometry of a tool T.
By using the actual position of point F (machine coordinate) and the reference point, the

Measuring the tool diameter
The diameter can only be determined with the spindle rotating. To this end, enter the spindle
speed and the direction of rotation of the spindle in the "Probe data" screen form.
Use any axis from the plane to traverse to the probe. Depending on the axis selected,
traverse either to point P1 or P3, or P2 or P4.
After the "Probe tripped" symbol has appeared, release the traversing key and wait until the
measuring process is completed.
During the automatic measurement, a dial gauge is displayed which symbolizes the

WARNING
The spindle is run at the speed stored in the probe data.
Action for "Probe tripped"
A solid circle on the screen indicates that the measuring probe has been tripped.
After activating the probe, the axis direction key must be released.
After releasing the axis direction key, the control system automatically creates and starts an
internal measuring program in the program memory.
This measuring program causes the probe to be approached maximum three times in order
to deliver measured values to the control system.
If after the third approach of the probe no measured value is transferred to the control
system, a message will appear in the display to inform the operator that no measured values
could be recorded.
All axes involved in the measurement process must be approached in this manner.

● "Program test" (PRT): If "Program test" is selected, the output of setpoints to axes and
spindles is disabled. The setpoint display "simulates" the traverse movements.
● "Single block, fine": If this function is active, the part program blocks are executed as
follows: Each block is decoded separately, and a stop is performed at each block; an
exception are only the thread blocks without dry run feedrate. In such blocks, a stop is
only performed at the end of the current thread block. "Single block, fine" can only be

Functionality
A part program or sections of a part program in the NC memory can only be edited if
currently not being executed.
Any modifications to the part program are stored immediately.
The editor can also be used to edit part programs and text files (*.ini, etc. ) on other drives
("Customer CF card", "USB drive", (see main screen "Program Manager")). The channel
status of the control is not relevant for this. The changes are only saved when you close the
program editor. Saving can be cancelled via a dialog.

Free contour programming, see "Free contour programming" section.
See Section "Cycles"
See Section "Cycles"
The simulation is described in the "Simulation" section.
The "Recompile" function offers you the following options:
● "Recompile" a cycle call
To recompile a cycle call, the cursor must be positioned on the cycle call line in the
program.
Using the "Recompile" function, the cycle screen form is re-called for a cycle that was
parameterized using a softkey function (e.g. "Drilling" > "Drilling center." -> CYCLE81).
This function decodes the cycle name and prepares the screen form with the relevant
parameters. If there are any parameters beyond the range of validity, the function will
automatically use the default values. After closing the screen form, the original parameter
block is replaced by the corrected block.
● "Recompile" a "Free contour" programmed by means of the "Contour" function
The contour, that was parameterized using the "Contour" softkey function, is called again
using the "Recompile" function.
Therefore, position the editor cursor in a command line of the contour program.
This function decodes the parameterized contour and prepares the screen form with the
relevant parameters.
When recompiling, only the contour elements that were generated using the "Contour"
function are created again. In addition, only the texts that were added using the "Free text
input" input field are recompiled. Any changes you made directly in the program text are
lost. However, you can subsequently insert and edit user-defined texts, which will not be
lost.

7.4 Simulation
● Standard simulation
Execution of the part program is simulated on the HMI using this function, taking into
consideration the axis feedrates. In the case of more extensive NC programs, the
simulation may, therefore, take more time.
● Contour simulation
Execution of the part program is simulated on the HMI using this function. The axes of the
machine are not traversed. In contrast to standard simulation, recording is started and
terminated via softkeys.
The contour simulation is based on pure calculations and is, therefore, generally faster in
the case of more extensive NC programs.
Prerequisite
The control system is in RESET condition.
