THE WORKING MODES
Programming mode
Allows to introduce, modify and read data as
well as to store, search for and transfer pro-
grams.
Manual mode
Authorizes axis movement and auxiliary func-
tions using the
keys.
Semi-automatic mode
Allows a machine cycle with the current se-
quence values without automatic sequence
change.
This mode is used for adjustments when realiz-
ing the first product, as well as for products
with only one bend.
The sequence change is made using the
keys.
NB: The product counter Q does not func-
tion in this mode.
Automatic mode
Normal mode for product production.
The DNC automatically changes sequence
after each bend.
Changing directly from "programming" mode
automatically forces the first sequence of the
program.
Changing from "programming " mode to
"semi-automatic" mode and then to "auto-
matic" mode, conserves the current sequence
for execution.
This allows to take up again a product in pro-
duction without having to make "empty" cy-
cles.
