Setting the protection zone
With active protection zone monitoring, the CNC PILOT checks for
every movement whether the protection zone in –Z direction would
be violated. If it detects such a violation, it stops the axis movement
and generates an error message.
The "Setting the protection zone" setup dialog shows the distance
between the machine zero point and the protection zone in –ZS.
The status of the protection zone monitoring is shown in the machine
display if it has been configured by the machine manufacturer (see
table).
