HECK PAGE
This is the Home Page for the Current Commands display, and is a current overview of important commands. It
shows 15 lines of the current active program that is running in memory. It shows all the G and M codes that
are currently active. It shows all the current offset registers that are being recognized. If the coolant spigot is
enabled, It’ll shows the current spigot position that will be displayed. It’ll display the programmed Feed Rate
( PGM Fnn.nnnn ), and the actual commanded feed rate ( ACT Fnn.nnnn ). It shows the programmed spindle
speed ( PGM Snnnn ), and the commanded spindle speed ( CMD Snnnn ), and if Parameter 278 bit DISPLAY
ACT is set to 1, It’ll show the actual encoder spindle speed ( ACT Snnnn ). In addition, this display shows
spindle load, axes load, Surface Speed, Chip Load, spindle CW, CCW or spindle STOP commands.
NOTE: Surface Feet per Minute (SFM) and Chip Load are displayed on the Current
Commands page. Note that Setting 40 selects radius or diameter for the tool
geometry. SFM is displayed as fpm (feet per minute) or mpm (meters per
minute), depending on setting 9. This is displayed in inches (typically a few
thousandths) or millimeters (typically a few hundredths).
This display also shows the position of the axes in the upper right hand corner. The coordinates that can be
displayed (Operator, Work, Machine, or Distance-To-Go) are selected using the cursor up and down keys.

OMMAND PAGE
This display shows all of the alphabetical address codes (i.e., G, M, S, H, D, etc.) and their current value.
These values here are just for display to see what they are currently at. The current default values are shown
for the address letter codes that are not being used in the current program.

IMERS PAGE
This display shows the current power-on time, cycle start time, and the feed cutting time. These times may be
reset by highlighting the desired title to zero using the cursor up and down keys and pressing the ORIGIN key
to zero out that display.
Listed below these system timers, to the bottom left, are two M30 counters that are used for counting parts.
They may be set to zero independently. Cursor onto the counters you wish to zero and press the ORIGIN key.
This will zero the counter to help keep track of the number of parts per day or for the entire run of the job, which
may be over a number of days. Both counters are increased when an M30 is executed by the control.
At the bottom right of this display, are two more timers. These two timers show how long THIS CYCLE took,
and how long the LAST CYCLE took to run. These two timers do not need to be zeroed out.
