System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

Auto Rotary Brake Yes will control the rotary brake on A and B axis

automatically. This parameter shuts off before rotary

moves, and it turns the brake back on when the move is

complete.

Rotary Brake Delay (Secs) This is the delay in seconds after an M11 (A axis brake

release) and M13 (B axis brake release). It is also the

delay time after autobrake release in Home, Jog, and

Handwheel. The default is .25 seconds. Max is 2.55

seconds.

Ignore Tool too Large Errors If yes, the control will ignore 569 errors and cut a corner

when compensated arcs are too small.

Pre Check Software Limits Never, Run Only, or Always. Never: the control never

checks the soft limits. Previous versions of the software

acted this way. The soft limit error only occurs when the

axis moves outside the limits. Run Only: checks are not

made when verifying. When running it will check to see

if any axis is going to move outside the limits before the

move starts. The graphics will show the move but the

machine will not make the move. This can prevent

crashes where faster moves go beyond the limits. Prior

versions would rapid to the limit and would be unable to

stop before the limit switch and/or hard stop. Always: the

control will check to see if any axis is going to move

outside the limits when running or verifying. The

graphics will show the move, but the machine will not

make the move. It may be useful to verify a program

before running it.

Tool Load Flag Limit Exceeded or Limit not Exceeded

Tool Load Monitor There are currently six options:

Off No tool/spindle monitoring will be done.

E-Stop If the limit is exceeded the machine will E-stop and

display a message.

Feed Hold If the Limit is exceeded the machine will Feed Hold and

display a message.

Block Mode On If the Limit is exceeded the machine will go into Block

Mode and display a message.

Set Flag-No Message If the Limit is exceeded the machine will set a flag. No

message is displayed. The flag is PB418. The program

can check this parameter to see if the Limit was exceeded
