7. COORDINATE SYSTEM
73
The user can choose from set workpiece coordinate systems as described
below. (For information about the methods of setting, see Section 7.2.1.)
(1) Selecting a workpiece coordinate system set by G92 or automatic
workpiece coordinate system setting
Once a workpiece coordinate system is selected, absolute commands
work with the workpiece coordinate system.
(2) Choosing from six workpiece coordinate systems set using the
MDI panel
By specifying a G code from G54 to G59, one of the workpiece
coordinate systems 1 to 6 can be selected.
G54 Workpiece coordinate system 1
G55 Workpiece coordinate system 2
G56 Workpiece coordinate system 3
G57 Workpiece coordinate system 4
G58 Workpiece coordinate system 5
G59 Workpiece coordinate system 6
Workpiece coordinate system 1 to 6 are established after reference
position return after the power is turned on. When the power is turned
on, G54 coordinate system is selected.

In this example, positioning is made to
positions (X=40.0, Y=100.0) in workpiece
coordinate system 2.
