Reference Point
When the reference point is not used
After the power is turned on, the measuring state is established automatically. (Incremental operation)
When the reference point is used
After the power is turned on, the unit automatically enters the reference point signal input wait status. Once the
reference point is passed, the reference point position changes to 0 or the measurement from the offset value.
Incremental operation continues until the reference point is passed.
Note
This can be used only when using a measuring unit with a reference point.
[How to set the reference point]
1. Turn on the power.
The HOLD LED blinks if there is a module that has been configured to use the reference point.
2. Push the spindle of the measuring unit 1 mm or more, and retract it.
When this is done for all the modules that have been configured to use the reference point, the HOLD LED will
turn off.
3. Align the measuring unit with the master object to be measured.
4. Input the master value as the preset value using the setting commands.
Transmit the SETUP command, P command, then the CLOSE command, in this order. The reference point offset
value is stored in the counter module.
Once this value is set, the master value can be relocated after the power is next turned on when the spindle of the
measuring unit is pushed 1 mm or more.
To set the reference point again, clear the reference point offset value using the setting command (LCLR command),
and proceed again from step 1.
At least 1 mm
