Possible problems
•
There are no text string on the screen after loading the application. You have forgotten to add
the TXT_GB.BIN file (english language) to the APPL.CMD file. The control always starts
up in the english language.
•
The asian languages have been loaded, but there are no asian characters. You have forgotten
to add the ASIA.IMG file to the APPL.CMD file.
Correction tables
A correction table is used to define axis setpoints required by the user. This way, positioning
inaccuracies or mechanical errors can be corrected.
There are two table types that are supported by the DA-65/DA-69 controls:
- spindle correction tables;
- bend-allowance tables;
Both tables have a pre-defined format. The spindle correction table is described in section 4.7,
the bend-allowance table is described in a separate manual[1].
Loading a spindle correction table
Each axis can have its own spindle correction file. There are three ways to load the spindle
correction tables into the control:
•
copy the file in the ‘appl.cmd’ during installation. The concerning files must be copied to
b:\tools\mpsupp.
•
use a softkey ‘load cor. table’ in the machine parameter menu page of the particular axis.
•
restore the machine parameters from floppy.
When such a table is loaded for a particular axis this is indicated in the machine parameter
menu. A backup of the machine parameters will also backup the correction files.
2.7 Machine parameters backup
It is very important to make a backup of the machine parameters each time they have been
changed.
•
backup parameters (S1) To save the machine parameters on floppy disk.
•
restore parameters (S2) To load the machine parameters from floppy disk.
•
format disk (S4) You can format a floppy disk with the control to be sure you can
always read from and write to the floppy disk. Keep the floppy
disks formatted with the control separate from the disks formatted
with your PC. Only use 3.5" 1.44Mb disks.
2.8 Changing the menu name
The menu name text is displayed in the header of the main menu of the programming mode. You
can change this name using the numerical keys of the frontpanel and the function keys
(‘alphanumeric’). Press the enter key to accept the new value or name. The maximal length of
the menu name is 20 characters.
