V0703 - 10i / 20i - Installation/Operation - DRO operation - (5/29)
2 DRO operation
2.1 Display modes
MM / INCH conversion
To display the position of the axes either in millimeters or inches by pressing
this key depending on whether the INCH led is off or on respectively.
Fine / coarse resolution
To turn off the last decimal digit (coarse resolution) for cases in which fine
resolution is excessive, simply by pressing this key.
Number of decimals
This keystroke sequence accesses parameter PAR53. The first digit
corresponds to the number of decimals to be displayed in mm and the second
digit in inches.
Decimal degrees / Degrees.Minutes.Seconds
This key toggles the display format for the rotary axis [PAR00(4)=1] between
decimal degrees and Degrees.Minutes.Seconds.
Radius / Diameter
When these models are used for measuring radii or diameters, one can
display twice the real displacement of the axis (diameter) by pressing this key.
The
Φ
led will turn on or off to indicate the double or actual reading
respectively.
Notes:
- This works in this way if bit 2 of installation parameter PAR04
(radius/diameter) of the axis has been preset as “1” (commutated).
Hysteresis or minimum position value
When carrying out certain operations such as drilling hard material, EDM, etc.
the position display may fluctuate annoyingly.
In these cases, the operator can eliminate this oscillation by selecting the
"hysteresis" mode or the "minimum coordinate" mode just by pressing this
keystroke sequence to toggle from one mode to the other.
Note:
To have this option available, installation parameters PAR20 and PAR25
must be set accordingly.
Minimum, Maximum, Difference (10i only)
To toggle between the following display modes:
Min, Max, Dif and Normal.
Min.
It displays the minimum position reached by the axis.
Max.
It displays the maximum position reached by the axis.
Dif.
It displays the difference between the maximum and the minimum position.
Normal.
It displays the current position of the axis.
