DATA ENTRY Keys:
The sixteen button keys grouped together above the
CONTROLS heading are used for entering program
information. These keys are:
Numeric Keys: These keys provide digital input for
the ram and backgage (optional) positions, ton-
nage and other numerical program information.
For example, if the operator was entering the
value for Speed Change position,which has up to
two integral digits and 2 decimal digits, the fol-
lowing would appear as an entry. To enter the
value 12.36
Display shows previous value: 12.25
User enters: 1 Display is cleared and shows: 1
User enters: 2 Display shows 12
User enters: . Display shows 12.
User enters: 3 Display shows 12.3
User enters: 6 Display shows 12.36
User presses ENT (enter) to accept value.
ENT (Enter) Key: Pressing the ENT key will accept
all numeric keys the user has entered and for-
mat them as the display indicates. The value
being edited will then be displayed on the flat
panel display. Once all digits in the field have
been entered, and the user needs to change the
value prior to pressing enter, the CLR key may be
pressed to re-enter the value.
CLR (Clear) Key: If numerical inputs have been
made in error, depressing this key will erase the
entry line and new data may be entered. The key
is also used to reset fault messages.
+ (plus) and – (minus) keys: The + and - keys are
used for numerical entries having signed values,
to add or subtract a numerical value from a pre-
vious entry by using Calculator mode and to
select alpha characters for program and tool
name entries.
CALCULATOR Mode: Pressing the + or – key
after entering one or more digits will activate the
CALCULATOR MODE. The digits entered before
the sign will be taken as an incremental value to
be added or subtracted to the current value of
the field. When the ENT key is pressed the incre-
mental value will be applied to the current value.
Repetitively pressing one of the sign keys before
ENT will increment or decrement the displayed
field value.
TRN (Transfer Key): Pressing the TRN key when
editing a numeric value will transfer the actual
ram or gage position into the program. The TRN
key is also used to enter alpha characters into
program and die name fields.
FUNCTION Keys:
The seven button keys arranged vertically right of
the LCD display are:
DISPLAY FUNCTION Keys:
The four selection keys
to the right of the display correspond to softkey
labels shown on the right side of the LCD display.
↑ up and ↓ down arrow keys: These keys are
used to select the highlighted field on the cur-
rent screen. The highlighted field can then be
modified using either the data entry keys or the
softkeys.
MAIN MENU key: This button key returns the LCD
Display to the MAIN MENU screen and switches
between the MAIN MENU screens.
All keys have a repeat function if they are held down.
PALMBUTTON OPERATOR STATION
PALMBUTTON Switches: The two palmbuttons
are located on opposite sides of the Operator
Station (Figure 6-2). As a safety feature, both
must be pressed within one second to start
ram motion. Releasing either palmbutton will
stop the ram. After stopping, both palmbut-
tons must be released and then depressed
again to start ram motion.
OPERATOR STATION Lights: The Palmbutton
Operator Station is controlled by the OPERA-
TOR STATION (RIGHT, LEFT or BOTH) selec-
tor(s) located on the FM Control Station (Figure
6-1 and 6-2). When this switch is turned “ON”,
the Operator Station is made active and the
amber “ON” light is illuminated. The ram can be
cycled with the palmbuttons. When the OPER-
ATOR STATION switch is turned to “OFF”, the
red “OFF” light on the Operator Station is illu-
minated and the ram cannot be cycled with the
palmbuttons. If no light is illuminated and
the machine is ON, a light bulb is burned
out. Advise Maintenance. Do not operate the
machine with non-functional operation-
related indicator lights.
RAM UP Button: Depressing this pushbutton will
cause the ram to go up, regardless of the
motion or position of the ram. As long as the
button is depressed the ram will go up until it
reaches the open height of the machine. The
ram will stop if the RAM UP button is released.
The operator’s control must be released and
depressed again to resume ram motion.
