EOffsSet or EOffsOn) or until the offset for external axes is deactivated (the instruction
EOffsOff).
Only one offset for each individual external axis can be activated at any one time. Several
EOffsOn, on the other hand, can be programmed one after the other and, if they are,
the different offsets will be added.
The external axes’ offset is automatically reset
- at a cold start-up
- when a new program is loaded
- when starting program executing from the beginning.

A search is carried out in which the searched position of both the robot and the
external axes is stored in the position psearch. Any movement carried out after
this starts from this position using a program displacement of both the robot and
the external axes. This is calculated based on the difference between the searched
position and the programmed point (*) stored in the instruction.
