GENERAL CONCEPTS
2.1 Turning the CNC on and off
The way the CNC is turned on and off depends on the disk installed (read-only disk or not)
and on how it has been set by the machine manufacturer. However, the most common way
to do it is as follows.
Turning the CNC on
After powering up the unit, the operating system will start up first. Then, and depending on
how the manufacturer has set it, the CNC application will either start up automatically or will
have to be initiated by clicking on the icon shown on the screen.
While starting up, it will display the initial standard CNC screen or the initial screen created
by the machine manufacturer for that purpose. Once the CNC is running, it will show the
screen for the work mode (automatic or jog) selected by the machine manufacturer.
Messages and options during the start-up.
When powering the CNC up, it informs on the contingencies that may be interesting.
Depending on what the CNC checks on power-up, the CNC shows, if necessary, the option
to "Restore backup copy and continue". This option shows the available backup copies and,
once it is selected, the CNC will rename the current MTB folder and will restore the one in
the selected backup copy. If the data bases are not valid, the CNC updates them.
When restoring a backup copy or the data bases while the CNC is in user mode, the CNC
shows a message indicating that the change is temporary. These two situations occur
because in both cases, the CNC modifies files that are write-protected in user mode. To make
these change permanent, start the CNC up in setup mode.
Keeping the [END] key pressed while starting the CNC up cancels that process and the CNC
shows the options to resume the start-up, cancel the start-up or restore a backup copy.
Peculiarities of a write-protected (read-only) disk.
The CNC application will only start up when the unit is in one of the following work modes;
the CNC application does not start up in administrator mode.
• Setup mode.
This mode must only be used to update the CNC software and to set up the machine.
The access to this mode is protected with the password "machine parameters", defined
in the utilities mode. On power-up, the CNC shows a warning indicating that the disk is
unprotected.
• User mode.
It is the usual work mode for the user, once the setup is completed. The manufacturer
must deliver this unit to the user set up to start up in this mode. The access to this mode
is not protected with the password.
Turning the CNC off.
To turn the CNC off, press the key combination [ALT]+[F4]. The CNC must not be turned off
if there is any program in execution.
After closing the CNC application and depending on how the manufacturer has set it, the
unit will turn off automatically or it will be required to select Shut down the system option of
