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 Determining 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 coordinate axes using the example of a turning 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 by 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.

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
You can activate and display the actual value of the relevant coordinate system by pressing
the vertical softkey "MCS/WCS REL" in the Position operating area.
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.

Note
Assignment of Length 1 or Length 2 to the axis is dependent on the tool type (turning tool,
drill) (see the following figures).
For the turning tool, the reference point for the X axis is a diameter dimension!
Note
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.
Using the actual position of the point F (machine coordinate) and the reference point, the
control system can calculate the offset value assigned to length 1 or length 2 for the axis.

Note
The figure "Determining the length offsets using the example of a drill: Length 1/Z axis" will
only apply, if setting data SD42950 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE and
SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST are equal to "0". Otherwise Length 2 will apply for
the drilling and the milling tool.

Procedure for "Probe tripped"
A solid circle on the screen indicates that the measuring probe has been tripped.
Release the axis direction key after tripping of the probe.
After release of the axis direction key, the control automatically creates an internal
measuring program in the program memory and starts it.
This measuring program causes the probe to be approached max. three times in order to
deliver measured values to the control.
If no measured value is transferred to the control after the third approach of the probe, a
message will be displayed informing the operator that no measured values could be
collected.
All axes involved in the measuring process must be approached this way.

The simulation is described in chapter "Simulation".
With the "Recompile" function you can:
● "Recompile" a cycle call
To recompile a cycle call, the cursor must be positioned at the cycle calling line in the
program.
Using the "Recompile" function, for a cycle that was parameterized using a softkey
function, the cycle screen form is called again. 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.
● "Recompiling" a "Free contour" programmed using the "Contour" function
The contour, that was parameterized using the "Contour" softkey function, is called again
using the "Recompile" function.
In this case, 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.
Note
Only automatically generated blocks can be recompiled.

Figure 7-6 Standard simulation
The simulation of the part program can be reproduced on the HMI using the following two
functions:
● Standard simulation
The execution of the part program is simulated with this function on the HMI, 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, the recording is started and
stopped using a softkey.
The contour simulation is based on a pure calculation and is, therefore generally faster in
the case of more extensive NC programs.
