DATA ENTRY REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMMING CONTINUED
Type 6.
Special functions.
Quadrant by selecting function.
1. Repeat:
Another complete shape will be repeated the specified number of times.
Shape No. of the repeated shape MUST BE LOWER then the Shape
No. of the current shape being programmed. Therefore it CANNOT BE
USED IN SHAPE No. 0.
Data required: (1) Shape Number to be repeated
(2) Number of times.
2.
Ellipse:
This is provided for making a complete true ellipse, always starting from the
left ( West extremity) and moving clockwise.
Dimensions required: (1) diameter along X-axis.
(2) diameter along Y-axis.
3. Auxiliary Modes:
Provides commands to turn ON or OFF the contactor outputs
independently, and also switch speeds from set speed to Rapid Traverse and back.
Mode numbers are from 1 to 8.
4. Set Percent Speed:
Used to change speed of the machine in the middle of a shape to
a lower speed.
Type 7.
Clockwise arc, must be less than 180
0
.
Quadrant determined by direction of end point of arc relative to the start point. (See
chart).
Dimensions required:
(1) X-dimension; offset along X-axis from start to end point.
(2) Y-dimension; offset along Y-axis from start to end point.
(3) Radius of arc.
Type 8.
Counterclockwise arc, must be less than 180
0
.
Quadrant determined by direction of end point of arc relative to the start point.
(See chart).
Dimensions required:
(1) X-dimension; offset along X-axis from start to end point.
(2) Y-dimension; offset along Y-axis from start to end point.
(3) Radius of arc.
