commands, etc. It may be helpful for identifying problems between programmed
commands and executed commands. To turn on the error log press the F6 softkey.
The page forward and backward keys allow you to scroll through the file one page at
a time. The data forward and data backward keys allow you to scroll through the file
one line at a time. The data bottom key takes you to the bottom of the file and then
changes to data top which will take you back to the top. The file will capture data
until the file reaches a size of approximately 600 Kb. At this time the file is saved to
a backup file and the original file is cleared and data is once again captured. Once
again as the file reaches a size of 600 Kb it copies over the previous backup file.
From here the user can save the file to the floppy drive by pressing the F8 softkey.
Once this is done it prompts you for which file you want to save to disk. The F1 key
saves the current file to disk and the F2 key saves the backup file to disk. To clear
the files press the F7 softkey.
4.8.3.8
Code 324: Toggle Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode allows the control to run a program without actually moving the
table. It is helpful in diagnosing Computer/display problems.
4.8.3.9
Code 326: Error Message Display
Error Message Display is used to describes error messages.
4.8.4 Operator Defaults/Options Codes
The following codes allow the user to set programming defaults or turn features on
or off. To get to any of these codes go to Service Codes, press “D” and press the
code you wish to view.
4.8.4.1 Code 66: Default Metric
This code causes the control to turn on in the metric mode.
4.8.4.2 Code 67: Default English
This code causes the control to turn on in the English mode.
4.8.4.3 Code 79: Beeper On
This turns on the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.4 Code 80: Beeper Off
This turns off the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.5 Code 129: Arc Accuracy
When the SL control operates at high feedrates it may create small part machining
errors as it goes around sharp corners. This exists on all CNC’s and is commonly
called a “following error.” The control is factory preset to allow a maximum following
error of 0.13 mm. The feedrate will automatically be adjusted around sharp corners
so as to not violate this limit. This code only applies to arcs that are programmed
and ones that are created in the tool path to generate the shape you want. This
code will not make a difference on mill moves.
You may adjust the maximum following error to a value as small as .003 mm.
However, the smaller the value, the slower the feedrate around corners.
To input a new Following Error use the following procedure:
Follow the instructions on the screen and input the Following Error value (from .003
to .3 mm) and press
INC SET
