MACHINE PARAMETERS
19.1 Appearance of the machine parameter tables
In order for the machine tool to be able to properly execute the programmed instructions,
the CNC must know the specific data of the machine such as feedrates, accelerations,
feedback, automatic tool change, etc. This data is set by the machine manufacturer and must
be defined in the machine parameter table.
At a CNC with a write-protected (read-only) disk, working in user mode, the machine
parameters are write-protected and any changes made to it are temporary; i.e. it will
disappear the next time the unit is turned on. To make the changes permanent, unprotect
the machine parameters by starting the unit up in setup mode and validating the changes
made.
Selecting the machine parameter tables.
• General parameters.
• Axis and spindle parameters.
• Jog parameters.
• Parameters related to the "M" functions.
• Parameters for kinetics.
• Parameters for the magazines.
• HMI parameters.
• OEM parameters.
Parameter setting
To set the machine parameter tables, proceed as follows:
1 Edit the values of the tables.
First, set the general machine parameters because they define the axes of the machine,
thus the axis machine parameters.
The general machine parameters can also be used to define the data for the cross
compensation.
Use the axis machine parameters to determine whether leadscrew error compensation
will be applied or not and define the data of the corresponding table.
2 Validate the table data. This operation is a must after defining the parameters of the tables
and every time any of the data is modified.
3 Save the data of the table. It is recommended to save the data of the machine parameter
table so as to have a backup copy of them. The data may be stored at the CNC, in a floppy
disk or at another CNC (or PC) connected through Ethernet.
This operating mode consists of several tables. The various tables may be selected using
the horizontal softkeys. If while one of the tables is selected, the [BACK key is pressed, that
table will be deselected.
