HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI - Machine Datum

July 2013 8.1 Display and operation 1205
8.1.9 Machine datum
The machine is built with a fixed machine datum. All referenced displays and
positioning blocks refer to this machine datum.
In the Manual and Electronic Handwheel operating modes you can define a
workpiece datum with the "datum setting" function. NC programming blocks
are entered with respect to this defined datum.
Other datums:
 If the user programs M91 in an NC program, the NC programming block
refers to the machine datum.
 In MP960.x, enter the distance between the machine datum and the scale
reference point.
 All NC programming blocks are referenced to the machine datum.
 With MP7295, disable the "datum setting" function for specific axes.
 NC programming block values are defined with respect to fixed positions of
the machine if the user programs M92 in the NC program.
 In MP950.x, enter the distance between the machine datum and the
machine-referenced position. The values for MP950.x can be assumed with
the "actual position capture" key.
Note
M91 and M92 are active only in the block in which they are programmed.
