80 Machine mode of operation
3.3 Machine data
Select the workpiece spindle for machining with WP:
 Main drive
 Opposing spindle for rear-face machining
The WP parameter setting is saved in the Teach-in and MDI cycles and
displayed in the corresponding cycle form.
If you selected the opposing spindle for rear-face machining with the
WP parameter, the cycle is mirrored (in the opposite Z direction). Use
tools with suitable tool orientation.
Machine data display
In the TSF menu, the setting for the WP parameter is
changed when you:
 run a cycle with another WP parameter setting
 select a program during program run
Elements of machine data display
Position display X, Y, Z, W: Distance between tool tip and workpiece zero point
 A black axis letter means the axis is enabled; white means it is not enabled.
Handwheel active Clamping active
Display of C position: Position of C axis
 Empty box: C-axis is not active
 A black axis letter means the axis is enabled; white means it is not enabled.
Display settings of the position display: Can be set via the
MP_axesDisplayMode user parameter. The setting is shown by a letter next to the
position window.
 A: Actual value (setting: REF ACTL)
 N: Nominal value (setting: REF NOML)
 L: Following error (setting: LAG)
 D: Distance to go (setting: DIST)
Display of the slide number and C-axis number: A numeral next to the position
window of the axis shows the assigned slide or C-axis number. The numeral is only
displayed if an axis was configured multiple times, e.g. a second C-axis as opposing
spindle.
Distance-to-go display X, Y, Z, W: The distance remaining from the current
position to the target position of the active traversing command.
