Sequence of referencing operation (AUTOMATIC mode)
1. Switch to AUTOMATIC mode.
2. Start the part program.
3. Activate follow-up mode of machine axis:
DB31, ... DBX1.4 (follow-up mode) = 0
DB31, ... DBX2.1 (servo enable) = 0
4. Take into account activation of follow-up mode:
DB31, ... DBX61.3 (follow-up mode active) = 1
5. The referencing operation is started internally in the NC as soon as part program
instruction G74 is processed.
6. External movement of machine axis across encoder zero mark or parameterized number
of distance-coded reference marks.
7. The measuring system is referenced after the encoder zero mark or the assigned number
of distance-coded reference marks have been successfully detected:
DB31, ... DBX60.4/60.5 (referenced/synchronized 1/2) = 1
8. The block change occurs after the referencing operation has been successfully
completed.
Aborting the reference operation
An active referencing operation can be aborted by:
• Deselecting follow-up mode
• NC-RESET
Response when measuring systems are already referenced
A measuring system that you have already referenced can be referenced again.

Functionality
Referencing of incremental measuring systems is based on the unique position of the
encoder zero mark relative to the overall traversing range of the machine axis. If several
encoder zero marks are detected in the traversing range of the machine axis due to
machine-specific factors, e.g., reduction gear between encoder and load, a BERO must be
mounted on the machine and connected to the relevant drive module (SIMODRIVE 611D)
via a BERO input in order to uniquely specify the reference point. The position of the
reference point is then derived from the combination of BERO signal and encoder zero mark.
