What should be done after external axis motor replacement?
Calib or just turn set?
If some one can explain differences between calib and turn set.
Calib or turn set after motor replacement?

Depending, if external axis has an encoder you need to do a calibration, if it has a resolver, the axis will have its own calibration procedure (like motor of a servo weld gun).
Encoders are absolute within a turn. When an axis is calibrated a certain value of encoder is stored in memory as "zero", and from then, system keeps track of number of turns of encoder. If you lose the count of this number of turns you need to perform a turn-set, which restores turn count to zero.
