10.2 Enabling the probe system signal interface
By default the probe system interface signals are switched off. Therefore, to prepare the probe
system interface for use on the machine you must first enable the following signals:
signal
value
Control Unit MD p680[1] bit 1
TRUE
PLC signal DB10.DBX107.0 (probe fine)
TRUE
PLC signal DB10.DBX107.1 (probe coarse)
TRUE
10.3 Setting the probe offsets
Before you can use the probe system as an integral function of the machine cycle you need to
establish five fundamental probe offset parameters. The five parameters are:
 Fixture Offset
 Part Offset
 Probe 1 Offset
 Probe 2 Offset
 C axis start position
