M-Series Operator’s Manual 4/9/15
Example 2:
A value of 392 in parameter 130 will toggle the 3rd axis label between Z and M and power off all axes and receive its
positions from the 4
th
axis encoder input. The 3 sets bits two and one to power off all axes and use the 4
th
encoder input
as a scale input, the 9 enables the 3
rd
axis to “Z”, and the 2 changes the axis label to “M” once toggled with the F5 key
in the Setup menu.
Example 3:
A value of 61 in parameter 131 will toggle the 4
th
axis between W and N. The 6 enables the 4
th
axis to “W” and the 2
changes the axis label to “N” when toggled with the F6 key in the Setup menu. This will turn the 4
th
axis on and off.

Parameters 132-135 – Motor Heating Coefficients for axes 5-8
See parameters 20-30 for more information.
Parameters 137 – Load Meter Filter Size
This controls the number of samples used in calculating an average output for the load meter display, as a way of
smoothing it out.
Parameters 138 – DRO Encoder Deadband
This controls the deadband amount (in encoder counts) used by the anti-flicker DRO filter.
Parameter 139 – Special Dwell between Moves
This parameter turns on and specifies the amount dwell time between moves, with exceptions in special cases. This
parameter is similar to specifying a G61 (Modal Decel and Stop) at the beginning of a CNC program, except that
dwelling will not happen under certain conditions: (1) No dwell will happen between 2 arcs. (2) No dwell will happen
if before the move that contains Z movement.
Parameter 140 – Message log priority level
This parameter controls the messages that are written to the message log, which can be accessed through the F9 - Logs
function in the Utilities menu. See Chapter 15 for the list of numbered messages. Message logging can be disabled be
setting this parameter to -1. The recommended log level is 4.
Value
Which numbered messages are logged
-1 None
1 Numbered messages 0-299 and 400-499 – The most serious faults.
4 Numbered messages 0-299 and 400 and higher – The most serious faults and medium severity errors.
9 All numbered messages
