GSK controller Query

Good day all,

Has anybody had experience on a GSK928TD-L controller, specifically around the CREATING OF A CORDINATING SYSTEM? I bought the controller as I was informed that it is similar to the FANUC controllers which I have many years of experience. Fanuc is similar to the GSK980 controller, but the GSK 928 is totally different from what I am seeing.

Is the Machine Reference or Machine Zero return required? The supplier tells me it is not and that it functions on floating system but did not explain further, the manual is barely legible and I am unsure how to proceed. For clarity:

What is the machine zero position and how is it found/set?
What is the program zero position and how is it set?
What is the job Z 0.0 position and how does it differ to the program zero position?

The problem I have is that the program starts running from where it came to an end and does not return to the absolute X and Z (the edge of the part been turned) of the program. The error grows progressively with each component machined.

Any assistance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not really good at this but it sounds like your controller is like mine. Machine zero is where you put it. I put mine at the end of the bed away from the chuck.
Program zero is off the face of the part(after you skim it) Job zero is offset from the part anywhere safe so you have clearance for your tool change.

I may be totally wrong here but that is how I got my machine to work (and I have seen it done like that in a youtube video).
 
i seem to remember holding down the jog button down until it reaches a home position, indicated by a light on the control. i'll have to check my docs when i get in tonight.
