The software of NcStudio is developed by Shanghai Naiky technology limited

company and the company has its own copyright, that system can support the code
of G and PLT format which can be produced by the CAD/CAM applications such as
UG, MASTERCAM, CASMATE, Art CAM, AUTOCAD and COREDRAW etc.
NcStudio can be runned on Microsoft Windows and take the great advantage of 32bit
computing and multi-tasks. At the same time, the standard style of Windows interface
is simple and easy to learn and operate.
In addition to manual mode, stepping mode and automatically returning to the origin
of machine, the digital motion control system has simulation, dynamic track,
automatic emendation of Z-axle, remembering of break-point (the procedure jumps a
segment), and the function of turning back to continue proceeding.
That system can be used with all kinds of three-dimensional engraving machine and
three -dimensional milling machines etc.
Being applicable to all kinds of complicated processing of tooling, advertisement and

upholster decorating and the industry of incision.

software received differ from each other.
 Support digital control rotating platform.
 Process automatically. Completely support G instruction and the HP PLT format

of ISO standard.
 Manual function. It can support to control the machine tool not only by input
equipment of machine tool but also by input equipment of computer to complete
manual operation. For example: keyboard and mouse.
 The function of the array process. It can execute the procedure again and again;
through appoint the number of rows and lines of the array by customer.

2-
 The function of incremental feed. It can make the customer convenience to set
the amount of feed, and the length of step can be adjusted agilely.
 The function of the manual data input (MDI). Customer can input and
immediately execute G-instruction online.
 Advanced processing instruction. As long as you input several parameters, you

can complete the function of milling or drawing.
 Single step mode. Customer can set the processing assignment as a single step
mode thereby it will provide a good support for diagnosis mistake and

 The function of auto to calibration. It provides the tremendous convenience for

the customer.
 The function of preserve/resume the spot of work. The system is well considered
the power breaking problem which commonly exists in the southern customer of
our country. Files of the system won’t be damaged by power breaking. The
functions of breakpoint remembering and separate segment executing can fully
guarantee the dependable instauration of the spot after restart.
 The online adjustment of feed rate. Customer can adjust the feed rate at any time
in processing from 0 %( the smallest) to 120 %( the biggest).
 Characteristics of the high smooth connection speed. In general numerical

control system, there is a constant speed between two pieces of G instructions,
for example it will equal to zero or a quite small number. In new version, it adopts
a special suitable forecast-arithmetic of processing speed. That arithmetic is
according to the connection speed of magnitude, direction, the biggest
acceleration and the fore forecast function, to adjust itself and decide the joining
speed between the current instruction and the next instruction. This special
character not only improves the processing efficiency (about from 30% to 300%)
consumedly, but also improves the function of processing and removed the
exterior veins in processing.
 The function of three-dimensional simulation show. Through simple operation,

you can observe the result of three-dimensional process and then you can realize

3-
the result more accurately and more frankly.
 The function of simulation. It can make a fast simulation of the processing

procedure to process and complete in a cutty time, checking whether the
processing procedure comes true or not at the same time, whether the result of
processing is satisfaction or not, and can compute accurately how long we need
in fact in processing.
 The strong and agile keyboard supports. The new version gives very strong
support to the keyboard operation. It satisfies the customer’s demand in
operation in processing.
 Log function. The system provided the mighty daily record function, helping the
customer inspect the processing information and system diagnosis detailedly.

3 Basic concept of NcStudio

11-
3.1 Operation mode and
operation state
Operation mode
It is necessary to understand operation mode to operate the machine accurately.

There are four operations mode as below.
 AUTO
Under the automatic operation mode, the machine tool generates motions through
the procedure loaded in advance. So the processing procedure must be loaded
already.
 JOG
It is one type of manual operation. Under this kind of operation mode, user can
directly control the motion of the machining tool via a computer’s keyboard, a
customized control panel, or a MPG (manual pulse generator), and so on. When the
user sends out motion signals through these equipments, for example the user press
down a manual motion button, the machine tool will moves continuously until the
signal disappears, for example the user loosen the manual button.
 INC
INC mode is another kind of manual operation mode. User also directly controls the
motion of the machining tool via manual input devices such as computer keyboard,
handy box and manual pulse generator. The difference from JOG mode is that each
manual action causes the machine tool to move a given distance, which is called step
length.

12-
 MDI
It is a kind of manual operation mode too. User also controls the motion of the
machining tool by on-line input a G-code format instruction. When the system under
some conditions carries out some established procedure to operate the machine tool
(Such as return to work piece origin), it would be automatically switch to the mode of
MDI also, but it will not affect the user to use it.
Operation state
Each operation mode can be divided into a few of operations states; we can say that
both operation mode and operation state decide the state of a machine tool.
 IDLE
This is a most normal state of the control system, whenever the control system
doesn’t output the motion instructions and is ready to output them; we call the state
as an IDLE state.
 ESTOP
This is an abnormal state. Whenever there is a machine fault or a user presses the
emergence-stop button, the system enter ESTOP state, and some certain protection
action will carry out, such as turn off spindle motor and cooling pump. In this state the
machine tool is locked and cannot carry out any new motion. After the machine fault
or hardware fault is obviated, the system will return to the IDLE state after carry out
“Reset” action automatically.
 RUNNING
While a machine tool is executing the outputs, the system enters into the running
state.
 PAUSE

13-
While a machine tool is moving and then a user send a “Pause | Resume” command
or the system parse a M01 command (waiting command), the system enters PAUSE
state, waiting for user’s more inputs. If a continue command is sent subsequently, the
system switches back to RUNNING state, or the system will enter IDLE state by
execute “Pause” or “Reset” command to stop the current operation.
 LOCK
Lock state is an inner state, which usually appears between the system switches
from one state to another state, so the user cannot contact with it.
3.2 The reference frame of
machine tool
The coordinate system is a glossary of describing the motion of the machine tool. For
the sake of unification, the standard coordinate system adopts the right hand
principle. It is shown as below:
Figure 3-1：The right hand principle of standard coordinate system
Among milling type machine, the direction of machine tool coordinate axis is decided
by both the types of machine tool and each composing part of layouts, to milling
machine, the basic coordinate axis is X, Y, Z:
——The Z-axis is superposition with the spindle .the direction of far away from the
work piece is a central direction (Z+).
—— The X-axis is perpendicularity to the axis of Z and parallel with interface of work
piece, for a single column milling machine, facing the spindle of cutter and watching

14-
towards the column direction, its right motion direction is the central direction of X-
axis(+ X).
—— The Y-axis, X-axis and the Z-axis are together made up of the coordinate
system of keeping to the right hand principle.
The mechanical coordinate system
The mechanical coordinate system is a certain and aptotic right hand coordinate
system, its coordinate origin is an opposite and aptotic position to the machine tool.
So, at any time, a certain point in space can be confirmed exclusively with the
mechanical coordinate system.
To complete support of the mechanical coordinate system demands the capability of

returning to the mechanical reference point. Otherwise, the concept of the
mechanical coordinate system will be incarnated in software.
The work piece’s Coordinate system
It is further usage of the work piece coordinate system at processing all kinds of work
pieces. The processing position that we described is usually comparative to the
certain point of work piece. But the installing position of the work piece on the
machine tool relatives to the mechanical coordinate origin is always alternate, so it is
necessary to import a set of more convenient coordinate system and namely is the
work piece coordinate system. It is also a right hand principle coordinate system, its
origin fixed on is relative to a certain point of work piece, but is floating relatively to
the mechanical coordinate origin.

the software name and the name of processing procedure, the color of title bar
indicate that the relative window is activated or not.
Title Bar
Figure 4-3 Title bar
Attention:
In Windows system, the concept of active window and inactive

window is very important. The meaning of an active window is
acceptable to input of keyboard at present, at any time there
is only one active window. You can distinguish the active and
inactive windows from the different color. In the default
setting of windows, the title bar of active window is blue but
inactive window is gray.
The left icon of title bar is a menu column of the system, it can be used to open the
control menu of the windows, and you can click the icon with mouse or press “Alt +
spacebar”, which will drop down a system menu.
That menu can control the position and the size of the windows. For example,
restore, move, close, maximize, minimize and etc. At the right side of the title bar,
there are three buttons like the button of restoring, the button of maximizing and the
button of minimizing. These buttons can be used to set the size of the windows
quickly. The detailed operation method you can consult the on-line help in MS
Windows.
In addition, each sub-window also has a relative title bar. The active sub-window and
the inactive sub-window can be distinguished from the color of the title bar. Please
refer to the describing of chapters below.

appeared.
Hot key operation
In the drop down menu there is a relative hot key at the right of some menu options,
for example: F9 is the hot key of “beginning …” in the menu of” operation", that is to
say the hot key will implement the order directly.
Three dots behind some menus options (such as" open and load …"), mean that will
flip out a dialog box automatically after choosing the option. If the color of some
options in drop down menus is gray, it shows that the item can’t be chosen in current
condition.
In addition, it will flip out a shortcut menu at the different position with the right key of
the mouse, from which you can implement the relative order in current position.
4.3 Tool bar
The underneath of the menu bar is a toolbar. The toolbar is composed of operation
buttons, which can implement the order of menu or the options of the menu with the
mouse directly.

Note :
The contents of that window showing is different according to

the different card setting and the different demand of
customers, here the provided contents can be consulted only.
Processing state and time information
Figure 4-10: Processing state and time information
The title bar of NC state windows also shows some state information. Shown as
diagram above, for example when system simulating, the title bar show the typeface
of “simulating mode”, at the same time right side in title bar shows the advance
implementation time（according to the feed rate of 100%）. At actually processing, the
right side in title bar shows the actual time.

24-
Current position
For describing each kind of position expediently, NcStudio shows two sets of
coordinate systems at the same time: The mechanical coordinate system and the
work piece coordinate system. NcStudio provides many functions to support two sets
of coordinate system; the user can examine two sets of coordinate system at the
same time, switch it from one to another and intercalate the opposite deflection
between them.
At the front of each axis name, it will appear icon “availability of mechanical
coordinate system”, when user carries out the operation of back to reference point. It
is shown below:
Figure 4-11: Current position
The system provides the convenient method of intercalating and modifying the work
piece origin: regarding the current point as the work piece origin i.e. reset the relative
position of single axis. Nothing but to move the cursor to the show area of that
coordinate axis, you can see the coordinate of that axis is zero after clicking it with
left key of mouse. If you wish the current position of all 3 axes would be 0, only needs
to click in each area of coordinate.
Prompt:
Choose the menu of “Operation| Set Work piece Origin …”is

another method of resetting the work piece coordinate
system, or press the button of equipollent on the tool bar.
The feeding speed
At the area of stepping motor, it shows the setting speed, moment speed, speed rate

25-
and etc. It can also modify the setting value of speed and the feeding rate.
Figure 4-12: The stepping motor speed area
Sliding pole of the feeding speed

rate
 Sliding pole of the feeding speed rate:
Pulling the sliding pole can regulate the speed of current motion within the scope of
0~120%. It can be shown with the percentage style.
 Setting value:
The feeding speed is given by the number of F parameter on G instructions.
 Actual value:
It is an instantaneous speed of the stepping motor, and it is changed following by the

change of setting speed, the current accelerating speed, and the feeding rate.
When system is idle, clicking the button of the setting value, that will flip out the
dialog box of speed setting. The flipping dialog box is used to set the default speed of
self-motion, shown as below.

MPG guide
New version NcStudio supports MPG (manual pulse generator) equipment. Selecting
this order, system will change single step mode into hand wheel mode.
Set Work piece Origin
It means that set the work piece cooperation where the current point lies as zero.
That will not cause moving the actual location of current point.
Set Work piece coordinate.
To use this function, user can set current position as origin of work piece coordinate.
If you choose that function, that menu can help you change the origin of coordinate
that the current cutter lies in. After you choose the menu, the system will flip out a
dialog box of “Set the current workpiece coordinate”, the figuer is as below.
Figure 5-44: Set current workpiece coordinate Dialogue
 Revise the work piece coordinate
Input the suitable value into the X, Y, Z-axis relative editor dialog box, the
coordination of current place is changed.

71-
 Midpoint
This command is in order to get the middle point of two points. First, let the main
spindle move to the first point; then click the “Record X” button; the system will record
the coordinate of X axis. Second, let the main spindle move to the second point, and
then click the “Midpoint X”, the system will compute the middle point’s coordinate of
the two points automatically. “Record Y” button and “Midpoint Y” are the same with
“Record X” and “Midpoint X” button, but aim at Y axis.
 Revise the coordinate of Z axis
Deepen or drive up Z axis with specified distance.
 Set work piece coordinate offset
In order to set the offset of work piece coordinate system and machine coordinate
system in G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, and G59 orders. When click this button, the
system will flip a dialogue box with title “Set work piece coordinate offset”. It’s shown
below.
Figure 5-45: Set work coordinate offset

72-
The system scheduled six work pieces coordinate, from G54 to G59. Customer can
modify the offset of work piece coordinate system and machine coordinate system
through choosing the scheduled work piece coordinate. The offset modified will be
auto saved in the system, and it will be valid in next usage. When customer selected
the work piece coordinate, the current interpolation panel will show them; the
customer can see them in the state bar.
Note:
In this processing, the machine tool doesn’t carry out any

actions. In fact, the system will reach the intention of
adjusting the current point coordination by modifying the
location of work piece origin. Once the work piece origin is
selected, when the procedure followed up programmed with
absolute value, the coordinate value of the order is relative to
the origin in this work piece coordinate system.
Move to Work piece Origin
The work piece origin is an origin of work piece cooperation which is set for editing
the work piece size; generally, it is a start-point of work piece. Programmer can
choose the work piece origin freely; its relation with mechanic origin is confirmed by
“Set the work piece cooperation of the current point”.
If choose the option of “Back to work piece… ", the knifepoint will return to the work
piece origin automatically from current place with the order of Z, X, Y.
The corresponding icon of this button in the toolbar shows as:
Prompt:
For the sake of making knifepoint passed work-space safely in

the cause of back to work piece origin but avoiding happened
malfunctions for the reason of meeting the work piece or
clamp etc., So you can optimize the operation to return to
zero path, as below:

73-
If the value of terminal Z-axis direction coordination is bigger

than that of the jumping-off point of Z-axis direction
coordination, the Z-axis will step to the terminal location of Z-
axis at first, and then X-axis reach the aim place together with
Y-axis.
If the value of terminal Z-axis direction coordination is less

than that of the jumping-off point of Z-axis direction
coordinate, the axis of X, Y will get to the aim point of the
coordinate together and then, the Z-axis will independently
step into the end of the coordinate.
For the reason of the terminal of the z-axis is always on the

surface of the work piece, the Z-axis will return to the
deviancy value of zero point to avoid to damage the knifepoint
and the surface of the work piece. The contiguous zero point
is set by “Safe Height” in the windows of system parameters.
Save the Current Work piece Origin
This function is used to save the current work piece origin into the processing system
file.
Load the Saved Work piece Origin
This function is used to load work piece origin data from the processing system file
and set it as the current work piece origin.
Start
This menu item includes two functions:
First: If a certain processing procedure has been loaded in, and the current system
appearance is "idle", choosing the menu's item, machine tool will carry out the
processing procedure automatically from the first section. Once starting the process,
the system will enter the status of “Auto/run”. If the system is in the status of
simulation, the system starts to simulate.

74-
The second: If the system is placed in the “auto| pause" appearance, choose so, the
system will carry out continuously from the pause into “auto| run". If the system is in
the status of simulation, the system starts to simulate.
Prompt:
The system have tow ways to enter “pause” state, the first
one is that the system is placed in "the single step processing"
mode and the second one is that user chooses the “pause"
function to pause the system at processing.
Pause
In automatically processing, the "pause" function is valid. Choose the menu item of
“pause”, the machine tool will pause and raise the cutter and then turn to the state of
“Auto/pause”. And then if you want to keep on processing, you can choose “start”.
If the system is in the status of simulation, choose" pause", it will be paused. And
then if you want to keep on simulating, you can choose “start”.
Stop
In automatically processing, when the system in the state of "Auto/run", the function
of “stop” is valid. Choose the menu item, the machine tool will stop and raise the
cutter and then end the whole assignment, the system enters the state of “Auto/idle”.
This method is to break off the processing procedure normal in processing.
But the “reset” function discussed forward is an abnormal way to break off processing
when the system is under abnormal situation. If the system is simulating, the system
will be paused simulating and enter to the state of “Auto/idle” after choosing the menu
of “stop”. That will not make you exited the simulating status but for analysis the
result of imitating. If the user wants to re-simulate, you can choose the “start”,
“Advanced start” or “continue from the breakpoint” and etc.

75-
Enter Simulation Mode and Start Simulating
Similar to “start”, if a certain processing procedure has been loaded in, and the
current system appearance is at an "idle", choosing the menu's item, machine tool
will carry out simulating in high speed automatically from the first section.
The function of simulating provides a fast but lifelike simulate processing environment
for the customer.
Running under the mode of simulating, the system will not drive the machine tool to
do the relative actions but to show the processing trace of the cutter in high speed in
the trace window. By simulating, the user sees which the moving form the machine
tool will do in advance to avoid damaging the machine tool for the reason of mistakes
in weaving the processing procedure. By simulating you can also know the additional
information.
Once starting the simulation, that menu becomes "Stop Simulating and Leave
Simulation Mode". If you carry out this function, simulating will be terminated
immediately.
The corresponding icon of this button in the toolbar shows as .
Advanced Start
That function realizes the function for jumping section and carrying out.
Choose that function, the system flip out dialog box of "Start (with advanced
options)", shown as below.

76-
Figure 5-46: Advanced Start
User can set the start position and the ending position for current procedure, and
then click “OK”, the machine tool will carry out the appointed section in whole
processing procedure according to your requirement.
That function can also be used for simulating.
Resume
The menu item is actually a simplified function of “Advanced Star”. When you carry
out this function, system will carry out from the breakpoint that is broken off last time.
That function can also used for simulating.
Advanced MDI
The function of this menu item is:
 The system supply some typical procedure file for customer to simple processing.
It will flip out a dialogue box with title” Advanced MDI”, when the option is
selected. The dialogue includes 5 tab options: “Rectangle Mill”, “Rectangle Frame
Mill”, “Round Mill”,” Round Frame Mill” and “MDI”. As long as customer input
several parameters in ex-four tab options, can complete the function of milling or

command. It is convenient for customer to modify, transfer the parameter of default
processing procedure file and input G command immediately.
Jiggle
This function is only valid under the state of pause in the course of processing. This
function is used in the course of unbroken off processing but to realize the tiny
regulation of the depth. The operation interface is similar to the manual windows:

81-
Figure 5-52: Jiggle dialog
Mobile calibrator (Choice)
This function can help the user to locate the surface of the work piece conveniently.
The method of Mobile Calibrator is to put the feeler block on the surface of the work
piece, then operate the machine, move the Z-Axis to make the tool nose come up
against the feeler block, stop calibrating. The system will measure the position of the
tool nose, it then subtracts the thickness of the feeler block from the height position,
and then the Z coordinate of work piece origin is determined.
Selecting this option, the system will flip out a dialogue box requiring “performing a
calibration action. Continue?” Customer can decide whether performing the function
in practice (If customer didn’t complete “Move to Reference Point” function, the
system will flip a dialog to prompt you to complete the function first, then the system
permits you to perform calibrator function).

When adjusting, you should confirm the processing surface by yourself, and set the

83-
processing surface as the work piece origin of the Z-axis. And then carry out the first
adjusting, and the second adjusting after switching the cutter. Operate the perform
according to diagram of prompt to
 Calibrate at the first time
Before carry out a machine task, measures the work piece coordinate of the top of
the calibrator.
 Calibrate after switching tool
After changing a tool, calibrate again to restore work piece coordinate of the top of
the calibration block.
Move to Referenced Point
The machine origin is a fixed position of machine tool and also is a zero point of the
machine coordinate system, which is set by machine switch and the electric system
together. About the machine coordinate system you can refer to section 3.2. Carry
out this function demands machine hardware to support, so some machine tools
have not this function. It is important to adjust the current coordinate for the reason
that the machine origin is the basic of the whole machine tool. Customer can select
the mode of moving to reference point in practice.

can also confirm that the machine tool did not close and stop urgently, he can modify
current coordinate into machine coordinate accurately.
Move to Fixed Machine Position
When the reamer have damage or the customer need to be change the reamer, can
select the option to change the reamer at a fixed position.
Disable Mechanical Limits
When the system meets the forcible limitation, that function can shield it temporarily.
You can regard it as a skill to make the machine tool restored to a normal position.
For the function of limitation is screened, the user should pay attention especially.

8 Operation steps

170-
8.1 Starting
Before starting machine, you should confirm the normal conjunctions with the
computer firstly; open the power supply of machine tool and that of the computer.
After opening, enter the NcStudio™ digital control system.
8.2 The machine
restoration
Choose the menu of “Move to Reference Point”. The machine tool will return to the
machine origin automatically and adjust the coordinate system.
8.3 Loading the
processing procedure
Before processing, the user need loading the processing procedure generally,
otherwise, the corresponding automatic function is null.
Choose" File | open… ", the system will flip out a dialog box of the standard
document operation, from which you can choose the driver, path, and the file name
that you want to open. After clicking the button of “open”, the processing procedure
will be loaded. Then, pressing the key of F2 to switch to the window of “processing
procedure”, the user can view the current processing procedure.
8.4 Manual operation
Choose the item of “Window| showing Manu window ", the window of parameters
shown will show an interface of manual operation. From this interface you can
operate the machine tool manually.
Moving manually
The relative key of the small keyboard can control the moving of the machine tool. At
this time, the light of NUMLOCK should be bright.

171-
The relative key is:
4 positive direction of X-axis
1 negative direction of X-axis
5 positive direction of — Y-axis
2 negative direction of — Y-axis
6 positive direction of — Z-axis
3 negative direction of — Z-axis
These keys with CTRL can realize super-speed ambulation of the machine tool.
8.5 Set the work piece
origin
The work piece origin is also the origin of X, Y, Z, axis in processing. Before
processing, we should connect the position of coordinate origin with actual position of
the work piece origin. The detail steps are below:
Move the X, Y axis to the expected origin position of work piece and then choose the
menu of “Set work piece origin”, or reset the coordinate value of the current position
in the coordinate window and then the system will set the current position as the start
point in carrying out the processing.
The above steps will help you setting the work piece origin of X, Y axis, but set the
work piece origin of Z-axis needs more accurate operating manual. This system
works with the hardware of the machine tool will provide the function of adjusting
cutter.
Choose the menu of “operate |mobile calibrator … “that will help you complete mobile
calibrator. After these operations, the work piece origin is ensured.
8.6 Process automatically
It means that the processing procedure of machine tool chosen will process
automatically.

172-
Start to process automatically
Choose the item of “operate| start", machine tool will process the procedure
automatically by itself from the first sentence. Customer can use short cut key ”F9” to
complete the function.
Stop the machine tool
In automatically processing, if you want to stop the movement of processing

procedure, you can choose the menu" operate| stop" or corresponding button in the
toolbar, also can use short cut key “F11”, machine tool will stop after completing
processing of the current line and enter into “idle” state. This recommended method
is the accurate and ordinal way of system stopping.
Note:
When the connection characteristic of super-speed smooth

speed is valid, system will stop while connection speed is zero.
Pause the Machine tool
In automatically processing, if need pausing processing, choose the item of " operate
| pause" or corresponding button in the toolbar, also can use short cut key “F10”,
machine tool will stop after carrying out the current sentence of processing, at this
time if you want keep on carrying out processing, you can choose the item of "
operate| Start".
Jump the segment and carry out the procedure
Choose the menu of "Advanced Start", the system will flip out a dialog box and ask
you which sentence will start to carry out the procedure and which sentence will end.
If you fill in the number of the segment and click “start”, the machine tool will carry out
the appointed segment according to your requirements. But you must give a number
in front of the procedure sentence.

9 Attentions while operating

174-
9.1 Attentions execute
multi-Task
Because the Windows is a time sharing operates system, generally when carrying
out the auto processing in the computer, you can execute other tasks (for example,
edit the processing procedure), but please pay attention to the following two
problems:
The procedure of Windows takes up large memory, so please do not open too much
windows, according to generally the size of computer memory.
The movement of some applications themselves may be not too stable, for example
the some game procedure, VCD player etc., they may take the system resources
without limit in circulate process, for example: The memory, CPU time an etc., end
cause the computer crack down. So, in processing time, please do not start these
procedures, so as not to result in accidental processing interruption.
9.2 Attentions move to
mechanical origin
At the process of returning mechanical origin, there will be different process

according to different system requirement. The calibration process will be slower in
high accuracy requiring system. When process returning mechanical origin function
you must pay attention to the NC state window, and close the dialog of returning
mechanical origin only after the system enter idle state.
When the process of returning mechanical origin is interrupt manually, it will cause
some aftereffect as following: 1.it will usually appear the port warnings, because of
this time limitation signal does not disappear; 2. un-accurate position because of
interruption of returning mechanical origin; 3. the soft limitation function has no effect,
because moving to reference point process does not complete, so system consider
the soft limitation function to be invalid, and the soft limitation function will function
until the process of returning reference point completed.
