Operation Mode
Auto Mode
Under automatic operation mode, the head generates motions through the program loaded into
the controller.
Manual Mode
The manual mode provides two movement control options to meet the requirements desired
under different situations. The system provides “Jog” and “Step” motion modes.
•
Jog motion mode: Jog mode is often the mode used to move the head about the table to set
the rough position of the head. The head will move as long as the axis key is pressed.
•
Step motion mode: this motion mode is applicable to tuning the mechanical coordinates
accurately.
Operation State
In terms of the motion mode of the head, each operation mode can be divided into the following
types of operation states. It is operation mode and operation state that decide the state of the
system and then the operation of the machine.
IDLE State
Idle state is the most common state. Under this state, the machine has no motion to output, but
is ready to accept any new task.
ESTOP State
This is an abnormal state. When there is an error in the hardware of the table. The system will
enter into this state and implement the predetermined protection actions, such as stopping
spindle motor and axis movement. Under this state, the machine is locked and cannot carry out
any new action.
Running State
When the machine is implementing any action, the system enters into Running State.
Pause State
When a machine is running, if user presses the combination key of “pause during processing”,
the system will enter into PAUSE state and wait for further instruction. At this time, the user can
press the “Start” key to make the system enter into “Running” state, or press the “Stop/ Cancel”
key to make the system stop.
LOCK State
Lock state is an internal state occurring at the time of software limit operation.
