Mode keys change the operational state of the CNC machine tool. Once a mode button is pressed, the buttons
in the same row are made available to the user. The current mode is always displayed on the top line just to
the right of the current display in between parenthesis.
Edit- Selects edit mode. This mode is used to edit programs in control's memory.
Insert - Pressing this button will enter commands into the program in front of the cursor. This button will also
insert the text from the clipboard to the current cursor location, and is also used to copy blocks of code in a
program (See Advanced Editor Section)
Alter - Pressing this button will change the highlighted command or text to the newly entered commands or
text. This button will also change the highlighted variables to the text stored in the clipboard, or move a se-
lected block to another location.
Delete - Deletes the item that the cursor is on, or deletes a selected program block.
Undo - Undoes up to the last 9 edit changes, and deselects a highlighted block.
MEM (Memory) - Selects the memory mode. This page displays the current program that is selected in the list
of programs.
Single Block - Turns single block on or off. When single block is on, only one block of the program is ex-
ecuted, for every press of Cycle Start.
Dry Run - This is used to check actual machine movement without cutting a part. (See the Dry Run section in
the Operation Chapter)
Opt Stop (Optional Stop) - Turns on and off optional stops. Also see G103 in the G-Code chapter.
When this feature is ON and an M01 (optional stop) code is programmed, the machine will stop when it
reaches the M01. The machine will continue once Cycle Start is pressed. However, depending on the look-
ahead function (G103), it may not stop immediately (See block look ahead section). In other words, the block
look-ahead feature may cause the Optional Stop command to ignore the nearest M01.
If the Optional Stop button is pressed during a program it will take effect on the line after the highlighted line
when the Opt Stop button is pressed.
Block Delete - Turns On/Off block delete function. Blocks with a slash (“/”) as the first item are ignored (not
executed) when this option is enabled. If a slash is within a line of code, the commands after the slash will be
ignored if this feature is enabled. Block Delete will take effect two lines after Block Delete is pressed, except
when cutter compensation is used, in this case, block delete will not take effect until at least four lines after
the highlighted line. Processing will slow down for paths containing block deletes during high-speed machining.
Block Delete will stay active when power is cycled.
MDI/DNC - MDI mode is the “Manual Data Entry” mode where a program can be written but it is not entered
into memory. DNC mode “Direct Numeric Control”, allows large programs to be “drip fed” into the control so it
can be executed (See DNC mode section)
Coolnt (Coolant) - Turns the optional coolant on and off.
Orient Spindle - Rotates the spindle to a given position and then locks the spindle. Can be used during setup
to indicate parts.
ATC FWD - Rotates the tool turret to the next tool. To load a specific tool into the spindle, enter MDI mode,
type a tool number (T8) and press ATC FWD.
ATC REV - Rotates the tool turret to the previous tool. To load a specific tool into the spindle, enter MDI mode,
type a tool number (T10) and press ATC REV.
Handle Jog - Selects axis jogging mode .0001, .1 - 0.0001 inches (metric 0.001mm) for each division on the
jog handle. For dry run, .1 inches/min.
