1 DRO description
1.1 Front panel
Each axis display has eight 14.1mm high LEDs and another one for the minus sign (-
).
Description of LED's and keys:
ABS It stays on when operating in absolute mode and off when in incremental mode. To
access it or quit it, press this key.
ΦIt stays on when operating in diameter mode. In this mode, the DRO displays twice
the actual axis movement. To access it or quit it, use this key if allowed by installation
parameter PAR04.
INCH It stays on when working in inches and off when doing it in millimeters. To access it or
quit it, press this key.
This key toggles the display format for the rotary axis between decimal degrees and
Degrees.Minutes.Seconds.
To get into and out of home search mode.
TOOL It stays on when operating in tool radius compensation mode.
Activate tool radius compensation.
Cancel tool radius compensation.
Select the current reference.
To access th e special functions (bolt-hole and linear drilling, ho ld, calculator, part
angle, corner rounding).
To select the axis or preset it with a certain value.
To zero the axis when the "quick zeroing" mode has been activated (see parameter
PAR11)
To turn the display off while keeping track of the axes position at all times.
To cancel or abort an operation already initiated.
To validate a preset value or another operation.
Beginning of preset when the "quick zeroing" mode has been activated (see PAR11).
Editing the tool diameter
To change the sign of the entered value or change from fine to coarse resolution and
vice versa.

1.2 Turning the unit on and off
It turns on automatically when applying voltage or after pressing the on/off key.
It shows Fagor dro or the corresponding error code. See the error table and PAR11
for more options.
Turns the DRO on or off.
Precautions
Before disconnecting this unit from mains, press this key so it saves th e current
position.
If the unit is turned off or there is a power outage, the DRO will try to save the current
position. If it does not have enough time to safe all the data , it will display ERROR 2
when turned back on.

2 DRO operation
2.1 Display modes
MM / INCH conversion
To display the position of the axes either in millimeters or inches by pressing this key
depending on whether the INCH led is off or on respectively.
Fine / coarse resolution
To turn off the last decimal digit (coarse resolution) for cases in which fine resolution
is excessive, simply by pressing this key.
Number of decimals
This keystroke sequence accesses parameter PAR53. The first digit corresponds to
the number of decimals to be displayed in mm and the second digit in inches.
Decimal degrees / Degrees.Minutes.Seconds
This key toggles the display format for the rotary axis [PAR00(4)=1] between decimal
degrees and Degrees.Minutes.Seconds.
Radius / Diameter
When these models are used for measuring radii or diameters, one can display twice
the real displacement of the axis (diameter) by pressing this key. The Φled will turn on
or off to indicate the double or actual reading respectively.
Notes: - This works in this way if bit 2 of installation parameter PAR04 (radius/diameter) of
the axis has been preset as “1” (commutated).
Hysteresis or minimum position value
When carrying out certain ope rations such as drilling hard materia l, EDM, etc. the
position display may fluctuate annoyingly.
In these cases, the operator can eliminate this oscillation by selecting the "hysteresis"
mode or the "minimum coordinate" mode just by pressing this keystroke sequence to
toggle from one mode to the other.
Note: To have this option available, installation parameters PAR20 and PAR25 must be set
accordingly.
Part references (datum points)
There are 20 references or datu m points that may be set for the part when using
absolute coordinates. The possible reference points (datum points) are from 0 to 19.
The 20i-M model shows the active reference on the display at all times, whereas the
30i-M model only shows it when it is selected, after pressing the reference key.
Selects the current reference. It will show the text "Select ref".
Key in the desired reference number and press [ENTER].
[Ref number]

2.2 Incremental, absolute and with respect to Machine Reference Zero
A coordinate DRO displays the present coordinate of one or several axes.
Coordinate means the distance from on e point or position with respect with another
chosen as reference.
These DROs can display the position of the axes in incremental or absolute mode or
referring to home.
The next figure shows the different position display modes:
•In Home mode, it displays the distance from the current position of the axis to the
home point chosen in the feedback system (linear or encoder).
Press this sequence to access the Home Search mode.
(ABS) •In Absolute (ABS), when the ABS led is on , it displays the distance from the
present position of the axis to part zero (D).
(I) •In Incremental, when the ABS and "home" LEDs are off the distance from the
present position of the axis to the previous position is displayed.
Toggles between the ABS and incremental modes.
It could occur that the installation parameter PAR11(1) has been set to “0” for this key
to independently affect each axis so that one axis can display its po sition in
incremental mode while the othe r does this in absolute. In this case, to change the
display mode for a particular axis, press one of these two sequences.

2.2.1 Example
We will drill the holes of the following part as moving examples in incremental and
absolute modes.
First, set the dat um point on the part to be machined as described in the section
"Datum point (part zero) to work with tool compensation" on page 12.
The axis must be positioned without tool compensation (canceled) because the hole
coordinates are referred to the center and no tool radius compensation is needed.
2.2.1.1 Absolute mode
Set the dro in absolute mode
Move the axis until the display reads [14.000] (B position) and drill the hole.
Move the axis until the display reads [37,000] (C position) and drill the hole.
Move the axis until the display reads [62,000] (D position) and drill the hole.
The displayed position value is always referred to the preset part zero (datum).

2.2.1.2 Incremental mode
Set the dro in incremental mode. ABS LED off
First method: Presetting incremental zero after each drill.
Starting at point A.
Move the axis until the display reads [14.000] (B position) and drill the hole.
Set the X axis to zero. See note.
Move the axis until the display reads [23,000] (C position) and drill the hole.
Sets the X axis to zero. See note.
Move the axis until the display reads [25,000] (D position) and drill the hole.
Note: If installation parameter PAR11=1, just press the axis key, ([X]) in this case, to zero
the axis.
Second
method:
Presetting the relative distance with respect to the next hole.
Starting at point A
Preset the relative distance to the next hole. See note.
Move the axis until the display reads [0.000] (B position) and drill the hole.
Preset the relative distance to the next hole. See note.
Move the axis until the display reads [0.000] (C position) and drill the hole.
Preset the relative distance to the next hole. See note.
Move the axis until the display reads [0.000] (D position) and drill the hole.
Notes: If installation parameter PAR11=1, the presetting sequence is: [ENTER] [axis] [value]
[ENTER].
Switching over to [ABS] mode, displays the distance to part zero (datum).
The calculator function can also be used to preset an axis with the result of the
calculation. See section Calculator on page 22.

2.3 Machine Reference selection and search
Although it is not ab solutely necessary, it is recommended to use the refere nce
marks (Io) of the feedback system in order to set a machine zero point.
This allows the user to reference the machine axes and restore the work coordinates
after having turned the dro off, moved the machine while the dro was off, for safety or
for any other reason.
Fagor linear encoders have reference marks every 50 mm all along its length.
In order to use these marks properly, choose an area on the axis, for example in the
middle of the measuring length or at one end. Approach this area and carry out the
home search. Once the reference mark has been found, mark this area with a marker
or sticker in order to carry out the home sea rch in the same area in later occasions
and make sure that you are using the same machine zero point (home).
Fagor also offers encoders with distance-coded reference marks every 20, 40 or 100
mm. When using these distance-coded reference marks, there is no need to move to
the 0 p osition to find the refe rences, simply move a distance equ al to th e gap
between marks (20, 40 or 100 mm depending on the linear encoder)
When using an absolute encoder, there is no need to search for the reference marks
(home).
The dro stores in its in ternal memory work coordinates such as machine zero,
absolute and incremental.
2.3.1 Home search sequence:
For encoders with regular reference marks, move the axis to the home area.
Access or exit the home search mode.
The axis displays blink showing " r " if the axis has not been homed or
" r on" if it has found the references (home).
Select the axis to be referenced (homed)
The selected axis blin ks until a refere nce mark is detected. The reference signal
presets the axis display automatically with the value of PAR10, 0.000 mm by default.
If the encoder does not have a reference mark, move the axis to the desired position
and press this key.
