WCS actual-value display in WCS or SZS 
The actual values of the axes in the machine coordinate system (MCS) or the WCS can be 
displayed on the HMI operator interface. For displays in WCS, the actual values can also be 
displayed in relation to the SZS. The corresponding configuration is made using: 
MD9424 $MM_MA_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = <Coordinate system>  
 
Coordinate system: 
0:  Actual-value display in relation to the WCS 
1:  Actual-value display in relation to the SZS 
 
 
 
Note 
Display of the current coordinate system 
When "Actual-value display in relation to the SZS" is active, the WCS is still displayed on the 
HMI operator interface as the coordinate system to which the actual-value display relates. 
 
Example 
Actual-value display in relation to the WCS or SZS 
 
Code (excerpt)  Actual-value display: Axis X (WCS)  Actual-value display: Axis X (SZS) 
N10 X100  100  100 
N20 X0  0  0 
N30 $P_PFRAME = CTRANS(X,10)  0  10 
N40 X100  100  110 
 
2.3.7  Configurable settable zero system (SZS) 
Application 
The function of the SZS coordinate system is to display actual values and move the axes 
during a cycle interruption. 
Cycles utilize frames in the frame chain to perform their functions. 
They insert translations or rotations either in the: 
•  Programmed frame $P_PFRAME 
or 
•  Cycle system frame $P_CYCFRAME
