EverTrack
TM
Mode – F 02
F 02 allows you to recall any position that has been previously stored in Absolute Mode,
even in case of power outage. In EverTrack
TM
Mode, the DRO can access absolute
references along the linear encoder. As a result, EverTrack
TM
Mode eliminates the need
for a machine home position and a battery backup system.
NOTE: This feature works ONLY with RBS-T and RBM-T linear encoders, which
contain absolute reference marks. If your application uses linear encoders
without absolute reference marks, disable EverTrack
TM
Mode (NO E-TRAC)
using Parameter Settings – F 20
.
EverTrack
TM
Mode can be set either one axis at a time or all axes at a time. If you have
a three-axis application but require less than three axes, we recommend that you set the
part zero positions one axis at a time.
Setting a Part Zero - One Axis
To set up a part zero position for one axis:
1. Press
to select the feature.
2. Press the desired axis key.
3. Press
The axis display resets to zero and the Reference Indicator (RI) begins to blink.
CAUTION: During the following step, do not change the machine axis travel
direction. This will cause an error.
4. Move the machine axis approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) in one direction until the RI
stops blinking and the display starts to count.
5. Move the machine axis to the part zero position.
6. Press the desired axis key.
