System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

axes can be jogged or handwheeled away from the work, the spindle may be turned on/off, and

F9 (Resum) remains active. As long as the Resume is active, the F9 key on the Run screen will

show a Resume function. If the Resume function is selected, the active program will be resumed

at the halted point. First, Z will retract to the tool change position–all the way up–when a

Resume Cycle Start is executed. Second, X and Y will rapid to the halted point. When X and Y

are in position a Cycle Start will be requested. When Cycle Start is pressed, the Z axis will rapid

to the R plane; it will then feed to its previous depth. The program will then start running as if

nothing happened. Feedhold simply stops axes motion until it is pressed again and Cycle Start

is pushed.

F2 (Old) Main-Run-Old

F2 (Old) will allow entry – from the message window – to an existing text program. After the

number has been entered, the control will check the text programs to see if a program by that

number is there. If one exists, that program will become the active program. If not, a message

stating that the program was not found will appear. After pressing the ESC (Exit) key, another

number may be entered.

The F3, F4, F5, and F8 keys on the Run screen set the mode of operation for the program. When

these keys are in a highlighted state, the functions will be active in any program currently

running or in any program to be executed.

F3 (Block) Main-Run-Block

When the F3 (Block) switch is activated, the program will stop at the end of each block. Each

time Cycle Start is pushed, one more block will be run.

F4 (OStop) Main-Run-OStop

When the optional stop switch F4 (OStop) is activated, the program will stop at each M01

command. When Cycle Start is depressed, the program will continue to run.

F5 (BSkip) Main-Run-BSkip

When the block skip switch F5 (BSkip) is activated, the program will skip all blocks starting

with a / (slash).

Example: / M5

When the block skip switch is active, M5 (spindle off command) will not be executed.
