that of the same axis in the other mode will be established
automatically.
The established reference points are physically the same on the
machine for both command modes.
When a reference point
is established
in turning mode.
When a reference point
is established

NOTE
•
Automatic coordinate system setting at the manual
reference point return is to be done for both
command modes at the same time and each
coordinate system to be established separately.
•
The established reference points are never to be lost
on changing command modes.
•
If the reference point is lost in one command mode
caused by a servo alarm or so, the other mode’s is to
be lost, too.
