Operation
The Front Panel Display
The front panel displays the program and mode for the rotary unit. The display
consists of 4 lines with up to 80 characters per line. The first line displays current
spindle position (POS), followed by the G code display (G) then the loop count
display (L).
The second and third lines display the step number (N) followed by the step size,
then the feed rate (F).The left three characters,on the second or third line, are the
step number and go from 1 to 99. They cannot be changed with the numeric keys
and are selected by using the Step Scan arrow buttons.
The fourth line is the control statud line. It provides three control operations: RUN,
STOP, ALARM. These operations are followed by the percentage of load, and the
last status of the air brake.
Every step (or block) contains several pieces of information that are necessary for
the program, and they are displayed simultaneously. The data is preceded by a
letter(s) to indicate what type of information is displayed.
Successive pushes of the right arrow button will cause the display to cycle to the
next register, that is, Position - Step Size - Feed Rate - Loop Count - G Code -
Position - etc. In Run mode, the right arrow button selects among any of these five
displays. In Program mode, all of these but the position may be displayed.
Think of the display as a window that shows only one command of the program at a
time. The Display Scan button allows you to scan sideways and see all the information
for a single step. Pushing the Display Scan button shifts the window one place
to the right, looping from left to right at the end of the row. Pushing the up arrow
displays the previous step, the down arrow displays the next step. Using these
three keys, it is possible to scan to anywhere in the program. If a new number is
entered in that position, the number is stored when scanned to another position or
returned to Run mode.
