into three planes:
n
Pallet plane
PAL
n
Fixture plane FIX
n
Workpiece plane
PGM
You can switch to a detail view in each plane. Set the machining
method and the pallet, fixture and workpiece statuses in the standard
view. If you are editing an existing pallet file, the updated entries are
displayed. Use the detail view for setting up the pallet file.
The various planes of the entry form can be reached with the
appropriate soft keys. The current plane is highlighted in the status line
of the entry form. When you switch to table view with the screen
layout button, the cursor is placed in the same plane as it was in the
form view.
Set up the pallet file according to the machine
configuration. If you only have one fixture with multiple
workpieces, then defining one fixture
FIX with the
workpieces PGM is sufficient. However, if one pallet
contains several fixtures, or if a fixture is machined from
more than one side, you must define the pallet
PAL with
the corresponding fixture planes FIX.
Use the screen layout button to switch between table
view and form view.
Graphic support for form entry is not yet available.
