The CNC offers the following options when working with each parameter of these tables:
EDIT Edit a parameter. The CNC will indicate the proper format by means of the
softkeys.
MODIFY Modify a parameter. Position the cursor on the desired parameter and
press the Modify softkey.
Once the modification is done, press ENTER for the CNC to assume the
new value.
FIND Look for a parameter. The cursor will be positioned over the indicated
parameter. With this function it is also possible to "find" the beginning or
the end of the table.
INITIALIZE Initialize the table assuming the default values.
LOAD Load into memory the tables saved in the hard disk (KeyCF), a peripheral
device or a PC.
SAVE Save the tables into the hard disk (KeyCF), a peripheral device or a PC.
MM/INCHES See the parameter values in the desired units. Only those parameters
affected by this conversion will be altered. It will not change the general
parameter INCHES (P8) that indicates machine units.
Machine parameter setting
In order for the machine-tool to be able to properly execute the programmed instructions as well
as interpret the different elements connected to it, the CNC must "know" the specific data of the
machine, such as: feedrates, accelerations, feedback, automatic tool change, etc..
This data is determined by the machine builder and can be introduced either from the CNC’s
keyboard or via the CNC’s two serial ports.
First, the general machine parameters must be set since they determine the machine axes.
There are some parameters to indicate whether the machine has cross compensation or not. These
compensation tables will be generated by the CNC from the values assigned to those parameters.
The general machine parameters also determine the number of elements at the tables for tools, tool
magazine, tool offsets and M functions (miscellaneous).
The axes parameters will define the leadscrew compensation tables and they will only be generated
for those axes which require them.
When selecting the drive parameters at the CNC, it is possible to display and modify the parameters
stored at each drive.
The CNC does not have parameters of the drive although their copies may be stored in the hard disk
(KeyCF).
