Operating modes
Utilities mode • See the files stored at the CNC, in a peripheral device or at another
CNC (or PC) connected via Ethernet.
• Create new folders to save files.
• Select a file group and carry out operations such as copy, rename
or delete files.
• Change file attributes.
• Do a file search based on a text already defined in them.
• Set a password to restrict the access to the customizing tool FGUIM,
to machine parameters and to the PLC.
• Make or restore a backup copy of the CNC data.
PLC In this operating mode, the PLC may be accessed to check its operation
or the status of the different PLC variables. It is also possible to edit and
analyze the PLC program as well as the message and error files of the
PLC.
Machine parameters • Edit and modify the machine parameter tables.
• Validate the machine parameter tables.
• Saving and restoring the table contents.
• Printing the table contents.
The machine parameter tables may be edited in this mode or be copied
from a floppy disk or other peripheral connected to the CNC via Ethernet.
Tuning mode(Setup
assistance)
The set of utilities of the setup assistance is meant to speed up and
simplify the machine setup procedure. The setup assistance offers the
following utilities.
• The oscilloscope.
• The circularity (roundness) test.
• The bode diagram.
It must be borne in mind that these utilities are assistance tools that only
show the system's response to the various adjustments; it is always up
to the technician to choose the best adjustment.
DDSSetup mode • See the list of devices connected to the servo bus.
• Change the access level for the parameters of Sercos drives.
• Edit the parameters and variables of Sercos drives.
• Edit the parameters of Mechatrolink servos.
• Display the list of active errors at the drive.
• Monitor in real time the value of the drive variables.
• View the status of the operation being carried out at the drive and
the status of the digital inputs and outputs of the drives.
• Configure and start up the internal command generator of the
Sercos drives.
Diagnosis mode • Test the hardware and software of the PC that the CNC is based
upon.
• Show system information.
• Show information about the modules that make up the CNC
software.
• Show information about the elements connected to the CNC through
the CAN bus, Sercos or Mechatrolink.
The diagnosis is a testing and displaying tool; it cannot be used to modify
the displayed values.
Operation mode. Operations allowed.
