    Notes

     
    Notice
    Danger of collision!
    The control does not consider the changes made to a datum table or compensation table until the values have been saved. You need to activate the datum or compensation value in the NC program again; otherwise, the control will continue using the previous values.
    1. Make sure to confirm any changes made to the table immediately (e.g., by pressing the ENT key)
    2. Activate the datum or compensation value in the NC program again
    3. Carefully prove-out the NC program after changing the table values
    • When opening a table in the Program Run operating mode, the control will display the M status in the table tab. This status means that this table is active for program run.
    • The clipboard allows you to transfer axis positions from the position display to the datum table.
