Position offsets

NC program

Linking of a logical axis to the physical ones can be modified in the running program. After suspension of axis output, the axes can be moved by another channel.

After returning to the original channel, the assumed and the actual position setpoints may deviated from one another. This position offset is displayed for the physical axis and is deleted each time the program is restarted.

Offset = command position (of active link)active position

Position offsets 1: — Figure 1-5: Position offsets caused by auxiliary channel

Example: Axis 1 of 1^st channel and axis 2001 of 2^nd channel are linked to same physical axis. In each channel an different MDI is started and channel are suspended one after another.

Channel 1: X100 Command position	Channel 2: X-50 Command position	Real position	Offset
0 -> 50		0 -> 50	0
	50 -> 15	50 -> 15	0
50 -> 80		15 -> 45	35
	15 -> 0	45 -> 30	-30
