Setting 15 - This is an On/Off setting. When it is OFF, no special functions occur. When it is ON, a check is
made to ensure that the tool length H code (H05) offset number matches the tool number (T5)
presently in the spindle. This check can help to prevent crashes. In program restart, this check
is not done until motion begins.
Setting 76 - TOOL RELEASE LOCK OUT. When this is On, the TOOL RELEASE button on the control
keypad is disabled.
Setting 30 - 4TH AXIS ENABLE. The possible selections are OFF or one of the many Haas rotary devices
that are available. When it is OFF, the fourth axis is disabled and no A-axis rotary commands
can be executed or seen. When you select one of the rotary devices listed in this setting, the
selected rotary table parameters are called up. Any changes done to the rotary parameters are
saved under the selected table type for later recall. In order to change this setting the servos
must be turned off. You turn off the servos by pressing in the emergency stop.
Setting 36 - PPROGRAM RESTART. This is an On/Off setting. When it is OFF, starting a program from
anywhere other than the beginning of a program or the beginning tool sequence may produce
inconsistent results. When it is ON, starting a program from the middle causes the entire
program to be scanned to ensure that the correct tools, offsets, G codes, and axes positions are
set correctly before starting at the block where the cursor is positioned. Some alarm conditions
are not detected prior to motion starting. It is usually best to have this setting turned OFF, if
you’re not using it, so as it doesn’t do some unnecessary moves.
Setting 23 - 9xxx PROGS EDIT LOCK. This is an On/Off setting. When it is OFF, the machine operates
normally. When it is ON, all 9000 series programs (Macro programs and Quick Code source files
are commonly defined as 9000 series programs) are hidden from the operator and cannot be
uploaded or downloaded. Since they are hidden and cannot be selected, you would not be able
to see them in the list of programs and would then not be able to edited or erase them.
Setting 103 - CYC START/FH SAME KEY. This is an ON/OFF setting. When it is OFF, the machine operates
normally. When it is ON, CYCLE START must be pressed and held to run a program. When
CYCLE START is released, a FEED HOLD is generated. This setting cannot be ON while
Setting 104 is ON. When one of them is set to ON, the other will automatically turn OFF. This
setting can be changed while running a program.
Setting 104 - JOG HANDL TO SNGL BLK . This is an ON/OFF setting. When it is OFF, the machine operates
normally. When it is ON, and SINGLE BLOCK is selected, the jog handle can be used to single
step through a program. Reversing the jog handle direction will generate a FEED HOLD. This can
be useful when an unexpected long motion block is encountered. CYCLE START must be used
to begin running a program. This setting cannot be ON while Setting 103 is ON. When one of
them is set to ON, the other will automatically turn OFF. This setting can be changed while
running a program, though it will not be active until selecting the single block key.
Setting 42 - M00 AFTER TOOL CHANGE.This is an On/Off setting. When it is OFF, tool changes occur
normally. When it is ON, a program stop will occur after a tool change and M00 AFTER M06 is
displayed as a message at the bottom left. This affects only programmed tool changes.
Setting14 4 - FEED OVERIDE -> SPINDLE is an On/Off setting. When it is OFF, the machine operates
normally. When it is ON, any feed rate override that is applied will be applied to the
spindle speed also, and the spindle overrides keys will be disabled. This setting is
intended to keep the feed and spindle speed the same to keep the chip load constant
when an override is applied.
