2.4 Mode selection (MODE SELECTION)
Knob style Key style
There are a total of 6 modes on operating panel, including automatic machining mode (MEM), manual input mode (MDI),
hand wheel mode (MPG), reference point return mode (ZRN), continuous jog mode (JOG), and incremental jog mode (INC
JOG).
(1). Memory mode (MEM)
This mode is for executing the program automatically.
(2). Manual input mode (MDI)
This mode is mainly for executing program blocks, modifying parameters, and setting data.
(3). Hand wheel mode (MPG)
In this mode, users can use the hand wheel to control the feed of servo axis. The hand wheel control panel is
equipped with magnification selection switches of 1X, 10X, and 100X with the minimum command unit (0.001 mm
or 0.0001 in.) and axial direction selection knob.
(4). Reference point return mode (ZRN)
It is for performing the reference point return of each axis. After being switched to this mode, arrow keys (same keys
as manual continuous feeding) used for returning to reference point for each axis can be pressed for the feed along
that axis with a reference point return speed equal to what is set in the parameter until reaching the DOG. The servo
axis will start searching for the reference point position until it reaches the reference point. At this moment, the +
direction indicator light of that axis will come on; it will also come on every time users switch to HOME in order to
remind users that the HOME operations have been completed by the machine. For each machine restart, reference
point return should be implemented before executing other machining programs in order to ensure the correctness
