System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Note: The parameters in the setup sections are normally set by the machine tool builder.
Changing these parameters can affect a large number of machine functions and machine
performances and should only be modified by experienced service personnel.
Assuming the proper codes have been entered, the following screens can be selected.
F2 (Prec) Main-Parms-Setup-Prec
If the F2 (Prec) selection for Machine Precision is made, the following screen will be displayed.
Keys displayed in the Edit Mode:
The above screen shows some typical settings for leading and trailing zeroes for the different
coordinate systems. The number of leading and trailing zeroes is unlimited, but some practical
limits do exist. If the numbers get too large, they will not fit on the screen in their allotted space.
If they are smaller than the feedback units, they will not cause movement. To change a parameter
press F1 (Edit). A series of arrow keys will be displayed; use them to move the cursor to the
desired parameter and type in the new number. Once all the numbers have been edited, pressing
the ESC (Exit) key will validate the new numbers and return to the previous screen. These
parameters are for all numbers entered into the control except for the axis parameters, which are
set separately in the F4 (Axis) parameters.
F3 (Power) Main-Parms-Setup-Power
Power parameters are parameters that directly relate to the configuration of the machine tool and
will normally be set by the machine tool builder.
