Reset Operations
Dual-process systems have a process reset operation, in addition to the
normal block reset and control reset functions. These reset operations
work as follows:
If you want to
perform a:
Press: The control will:
Block Reset [RESET] Skip thecurrently activeblock inthe
currently selectedprocess
(see chapter 2).
Control Reset [SHIFT] +[RESET] Return the control tothe default settings,
clear anyprogram errors, and cancel
MDI commands inall processes
(see chapter 2).
¶
Process Reset [SHIFT] +
[PROC SELECT]
Return the program of thecurrently
selected process to thefirst block. Does
not affect theadditional processes(only
works onprograms executedfrom
control memory).
¶ If onlyone (or both)processes arestill executingtheir part program when a control
reset is performed, onlyprocesses not currentlyexecuting apart program will havea control
reset performed. A message willoccur in the processes executingthe programstating that a
control reset isnot allowed onthat process.
Communication Between Processes (Shared Paramacro Parameters)
A link between the different processes of the machine is provided with the
dual-process shared paramacro parameters. These parameters are available
only on dual-process lathe systems. They provide a link through which
common data can be passed between the different part programs executing
in the different processes of the machine. The shared dual-process
parameters are paramacro parameter numbers:
#7100 to #7199
Refer to page 28-33 for details on these paramacro parameters.
