Hello,

my Referece-Indicators are mouted at the right/back/botom Side of my machine.

After doing a reference-drive the maschine coordinates are set correct to
x=304
y= 477
Z= 20

Now I whant to have the same values in the local coordinate-system!

So, how can I get this done?

Here is my VB-Script:

REFCOMBINATION(4)
REFCOMBINATION(
REFCOMBINATION(2)
REFCOMBINATION(1)

after this I need:
Set X= "Homing&Limits"SoftMinX
Set Y= "Homing&Limits"SoftMinY
Set Z= "Homing&Limits"SoftMaxX

Can please anybody help me doing this?

Regards Ronald

if you have a look to the DRO list:

https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6657.0;attach=18779

you will find them from 150 upwards

Thanks to TPS for your advice.

But:
I tried so many parameters of the list you gave me the in your reply.
But none of this parameters returned the value I need.

Can anybode the me whitch value(s) this is (are):
See attatched File ( I dont find how to poste a Picture at this place)

this is a example how to read  the offset's from the profile.xml

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML.DomDocument")
xmlDoc.Load "c:\Mach3\Mach3Mill.xml"
Set nodeslist = xmlDoc.selectNodes("/profile/Preferences/M0RefHome")

XHomeOffset =nodeslist(0).text
MsgBox XHomeOffset

Set xmlDoc = nothing


@ TPS
Thanks so much.
This was a greate advice.

I did the following code working nearly perfect:.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------'
'-------------------- Referenzfahrt ausführen -------------------'
REFCOMBINATION(4)
REFCOMBINATION(
REFCOMBINATION(2)
REFCOMBINATION(1)
'----------------------------------------------------------------'



'------------------ Konfigurationsdatei öffnen ------------------'
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML.DomDocument")
xmlDoc.Load "c:\Mach3\Mill.xml"
'----------------------------------------------------------------'



'------------------------ Werte auslesen ------------------------'
Set nodeslist = xmlDoc.selectNodes("/profile/Preferences/Enc0")
XHomeOffset =nodeslist(0).text
'MsgBox XHomeOffset

Set nodeslist = xmlDoc.selectNodes("/profile/Preferences/Enc1")
YHomeOffset =nodeslist(0).text
'MsgBox YHomeOffset

Set nodeslist = xmlDoc.selectNodes("/profile/Preferences/Enc2")
ZHomeOffset =nodeslist(0).text
'MsgBox ZHomeOffset
'----------------------------------------------------------------'




'---------------------- Koordinaten setzen ----------------------'
MsgBox XHomeOffset
SetDRO(0, XHomeOffset)

MsgBox YHomeOffse
SetDRO(1, YHomeOffset)

MsgBox ZHomeOffset
SetDRO(2, ZHomeOffset)
'----------------------------------------------------------------'


Set xmlDoc = Nothing
'-----------------------------------------------------------------'


There is only one proble to be solved:
The code is working to fast!

The command:
 "SetDRO(0, XHomeOffset)"
and
"SetDRO(1, YHomeOffset)"
and
"SetDRO(2, ZHomeOffset)"

is executed bevore the mashine has reached the switches.

Question:
Is there a way to wait till the reverece-drive has reached his switch

Something like:
"wait till reached switch"

regards Ronny

this code:

While Ismoving()
  Sleep(20)
Wend
after the references
will "pause" the macro until movement is finished
