System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

The following screens represent the displayed information for the various axis selections.

Note: The diagnostic screens will differ for machines that have varying options. The text that

shows up on the screen is from the files INP.XXX and OUT.XXX, where XXX is the extension for

the desired language to display on the screen. The INP.XXX and OUT.XXX files for a basic

machine with no options are present in the ROM directory. The files that correspond with the

options that a machine might have will be present in the RAM directory. The control will first

check the RAM directory. If the files are not found in the RAM directory, the control will use the

default files in the ROM directory.

Each axis has inputs and outputs, pressing F1…F6 will show the inputs and outputs for the

associated axis.

Note: Machines with tool changers, etc. will have different diagnostics screens.
