In the case of (a) above, the workpiece coordinate system is shifted by the
amount of movement during manual intervention.

In the operation above, a workpiece coordinate system once shifted can
be preset using G code specification or MDI operation to a workpiece
coordinate system displaced by a workpiece zero point offset value from
the machine zero point. This is the same as when manual reference
position return operation is performed on a workpiece coordinate system
that has been shifted. In this example, such G code specification or MDI
operation has the effect of returning workpiece coordinate system zero
point WZn to the original zero point WZo, and the distance from WZo to
Pn is used to represent the current position in the workpiece coordinate
system.
Bit 3 (PPD) of parameter No. 3104 specifies whether to preset relative
coordinates (RELATIVE) as well as absolute coordinates.
When using the workpiece coordinate system preset function, cancel
compensation modes: cutter compensation, tool length compensation,
and tool offset. If the function is executed without cancelling these
modes, compensation vectors are temporarily cancelled.
The workpiece coordinate system preset function is not executed during
program restart.
