System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
rapids. This parameter should be approximately 100 for our
current systems.
Sharp Corners Yes will cause all corners to be rounded to a maximum
specified by the max corner deviation parameter. No will
round the corners proportionally to the feed rate. Full feed
rate will round the corners by the max corner deviation
parameters. Slower federates will reduce the deviation.
Max Corner Deviation This number sets the maximum deviation allowed on a
corner. A value of .001 means the machine will slow down
when approaching a corner by more than .001". (Centurion
6 only.)
Min Block Time (sec) If the time to execute a move is less than this value, the
control will slow the feedrate down in an effort to forestall
jerky motions from data starvation.
End-of-Cycle Axis and These two parameters define which output will be
End-of-Cycle Outputs used for the End-of-Cycle Light.
The end of cycle light does not need to be programmed. The light will come on anytime there is
no motion and a program is running and at the end of a program. This would be the case for
block stops, waiting for tool change reset, etc. The light goes off when any key is pressed or
motion recommences. The light may illuminate during dwells, automatic tool changes, orienting,
and etcetera, but it will shut off when the machine recommences motion.
Acc Settling Time (Msec) The amount of time to keep the velocity constant after accelerating
Dec Settling Time (Msec) or decelerating.
