Incremental measuring systems
The user must ensure that machine axes with incremental measuring systems are clamped
with sufficient speed in the event of a power failure to prevent a change to the last position,
known and saved by the control. Otherwise the assumed position when the control is
restarted differs greatly to the actual position of the machine axis. Drive-autonomous
retraction must also not be activated for these axes.
A detailed description of the automatic restoration of actual positions after the next start of
the control (Power On) can be found in:

Basic Functions Function Manual, Section "R1 Referencing" > "Automatic restoration of the
machine reference"
Drive-autonomous retraction
The "Drive-autonomous retraction" function must not be activated for machine axes involved
in the retraction movement.
Axis couplings
Axis couplings are not restored with the selection of JOG retract.
Tapping using G63
JOG retract is not possible for tapping with compensating chuck and speed-controlled
spindle without encoder (
G63).
Transformations
If a transformation is selected through JOG retract, the active measuring systems of all
machine axes involved in the transformation must be in the "referenced" or "restored" state.
OEM transformations such as parallel kinematics for hexapods, can only be traversed with
referenced measuring systems. Traversing with restored axis positions is not possible.
Tool orientation via directly programmed orientation axes
JOG retract cannot generate a retraction movement in the tool direction if the tool orientation
is not performed via NC functions, but through direct programming of the orientation axes.
NCU link
JOG retract is also possible in conjunction with NCU-wide traversing of axes (see Section
"NCU link (Page 79)"). The state of axis containe
rs is not changed through JOG retract.
Adaptations required for a retraction movement in the tool direction must be performed by
the user before traversing in JOG retract, e.g. in the MDI mode.
