Number of allowed work zero offsets for series

The total number of work zero offsets you may access depends upon the number you have purchased for your CNC.

The number of zero offsets for series are:

Work Zero Offset Notes

When configuring an array point to access work zero offset data, keep in mind that data is addressed one axis at a time.

Example

Configuraton

Description

Array point

10 elements

Address for the point

WZO1A1

Array

Description

First element

Offset 1, Axis 1

Second element

Offset 2, Axis 1 (not Offset 1, Axis 2).

 Important: The Power Mate, Power Mate i and Series 210 T CNC's do not support the Work Zero Offset table.

Work Zero Offset attributes

To configure a point to access work zero offset data, you must specify the following information.
