30iE - v1111 - Installation/Operation - (6/48)
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.
Part references (datum points)
There are 20 references or datum points that may be set for the part when using
absolute coordinates. The possible reference points (datum points) are from 0 to 19.
The 20i-M model shows the active reference on the display at all times, whereas the
30i-M model only shows it when it is selected, after pressing the reference key.
Selects the current reference. It will show the text "Select ref".
Key in the desired reference number and press [
ENTER
].
