* A G23.1 turns on programmable zone 2 if it is the default

power up condition configured in AMP (also activated at a

control reset). G23.1 does not turn on programmable zone 2

when it is activated in a part program.

G23 is normally automatically made active at power up, though this is

ultimately determined by the system installer in AMP. Your system

installer also determines in AMP if an M02 or M30, control reset, or

E-STOP reset cancels programmable zones that you have turned on or off

while executing your program.

Important: If you program a G22, any axis words included in the block

are stored as the coordinates for programmable zone 3. See page 12-7 .

If you attempt to program some other command in a G22 or G23 block, for

example:

G22 G01 X12.;

the control issues the error message:

“UNUSABLE WORDS IN ZONE BLOCK”
