The channel-specific referencing was started using the interface signal: 
DB21, ... DBX1.0 (activate referencing) 
and the successful start was acknowledged using the interface signal: 
DB21, ... DBX33.0 (referencing active). 
Channel-specific referencing is operational.

All axes that have to be referenced are referenced 
Edge evaluation: no   Signal(s) updated: cyclic  
Signal state 1 or  
edge change  
0 → 1 
All axes that must be referenced (linear axes and rotary axes) of the channel are referenced. 
The machine data: 
MD20700 $MC_REFP_NC_START_LOCK (NC start inhibit without reference point) 
is zero. 
If two position measuring systems are connected to an axis, that would prevent an NC start, then 
the active one must be referenced so that the axis is considered to have been referenced.  
An NC Start command for parts program processing is only accepted when this signal is present. 
Axes that have to be referenced are axes, if: 
MD34110 $MA_REFP_CYCLE_NR _ = -1 
and the axis is not in the parked position (position measuring system inactive and the controller 
enable withdrawn). 
Signal state 0 or  
edge change  
1 → 0 
One or more axes of the channel have not been referenced.

The spindles of the channel have no effect on this interface signal.
