Number of allowed work zero offsets for series

The total number of work zero offsets you may access depends upon the number you have purchased for your CNC.

The number of zero offsets for series are:

CNC Total number of allowed Work Zero offsets
Series 150/150i, 0i-D 0-6, 7-54
Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i-210i, 0i-A/B/C M 0 -6, 7-54, 55-306
Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i-210i, 0i-A/B/C T 0-6
Series 30i/31i/32i 0-6, 7-54, 55-306
Value Definition
0 External work zero offset value of Common.
1,..,6 Work zero offset value of G54 through G59.
7,..,54 Work zero offset value of G54.1P1 through G54.1P48.
55,..,306 Work zero offset value of G54.1P49 through G54.1P300.

Significant digits before and after a decimal point

For example, the number of significant digits you can enter before and after the decimal point can include the following. Be aware that the actual number of digits will vary based on the CNC model you are using.

For Number of Digits
Inches Before the decimal point Up to 4 digits
After the decimal point 4 digits
Example 9999.9999 is valid 99999.9999 is not.
Millimeters Before the decimal point Up to 5 digits
After the decimal point 3 digits

Work Zero Offset Notes

When configuring an array point to access work zero offset data, keep in mind that data is addressed one axis at a time.

Example

Configuraton Description
Array point 10 elements
Address for the point WZO1A1
Array Description
First element Offset 1, Axis 1
Second element Offset 2, Axis 1 (not Offset 1, Axis 2).
Important: The Power Mate, Power Mate i and Series 210 T CNC's do not support the Work Zero Offset table.

Work Zero Offset attributes

To configure a point to access work zero offset data, you must specify the following information.

Point Class ANALOG
Type REAL
Access Read or Read/Write
Valid Addresses WZOxAy, where x is a valid tool offset number for your CNC, and y is a valid axis number.
Address Offset N/A
