M-Series Operator’s Manual 4/9/15
179 – Lube Pump Operation
This parameter can be configured to control a variety of lube pumps. The value is formatted as MMMSS, MMM for
minutes and SS for seconds. Below is a table of some examples.
Type of Pump MMM SS Operation
Mechanical/CAM 0 0 179=0 Power is on when machine is running a job or in MDI Mode
Electronic “lube first” 16 00 179=1600 Holds power on to the pump for 16 minutes of job or
MDI time
Electronic “lube last” 16 00 179=1600 Holds power on to the pump for 16 minutes of job or
MDI time
Direct Controlled
Pump
30 15 179=3015 Waits for 30 min of job or MDI time, then applies power
for 15 seconds.
Parameters 186 – Probe Stuck retry disable
This parameter is used to disable retries when a probe is detected to be in a “stuck” condition. A probe “stuck”
condition occurs during a probing move when a probe’s red light (LED) stays on even after the probe has moved clear
of the contact surface. The control can sometimes detect this condition and go through a series of corrective moves to
“reseat” the probe and retry the probing move. If this parameter is set to a non-zero value, then the control will not do
this corrective action nor attempt another probing move. If this parameter is set to 0, then the control will go through
the corrective action and retry the probing move up to 5 times.
Parameters 187 – Hard Stop Homing
This parameter is used when homing off hard stops. The value set in this parameter determines the amount of current
sent to the motor while homing. Value range is 0-32000; typical value for a DC system is 16000. Note that this feature
does not work with velocity mode drives.
Parameters 188-199 – Aux Key Functions
These parameters are used to assign a function to aux keys 1-12 (i.e. P188 = Aux1 … P199 = Aux12). The following is
the list of possible functions that can be executed when an aux key is pressed.
Function Parameter Value Function Parameter Value
No Function 0 One Shot - Frame 9
Input X Axis Position 1 One Shot - Face 10
Input Y Axis Position 2 Execute M Code file m11*
Input Z Axis Position 3 Free Axes 14
Set Absolute Zero 4 Go to Power Feed Menu 15
Set Incremental Zero 5 XYZ Set Absolute Zero 16
One Shot - Drill 6 One Shot - Drill Bolt Hole Circle 17
One Shot - Circular Pocket 7 One Shot - Drill Array 18
One Shot - Rectangular Pocket 8
For example, if you wanted Aux4 to call up the “One Shot - Circular Pocket” , you would set parameter 191 to 7.
The Input Axis Position functions must be used with the Set ABS/INC Zero functions. After entering the desired value
at the input field provided by the Input Axis Position function, press an aux key assigned either the function Set ABS
Zero or Set INC Zero.
* m is the number of the M code to execute. For example, if the parameter value is set to 7211, the file mfunc72.mac
will be loaded and executed when the Aux key was pressed.
Custom overlays with the keys that represent these functions are available; contact your dealer for pricing.
