SLAVED MACHINE CONTROL PANEL
Figure 7−8.
The Slaved Machine Control panel provides the ability to control up to six machines from a single screen. The panel
includes a Gang button for slaving machines together.
Machine Assignment
To link to a machine, select the “Machine” window; a drop down list will show the machines entered on the Machine
Control table of the active configuration set (see page 5−135).
Note: The GUI machine control panels are linked (assigned) directly to individual machines using the Ma-
chine drop−down window. It is not necessary to use the “Associated Name” linkage method used for hardware
control panels such as the MC 3000 (that method, sometimes referred to as “control−follow−router,” is de-
scribed on page 5−141).
Select the desired machine. If linkage is established, the appropriate motion control button will turn yellow; if time code
is present it will be displayed as well.
If an attempt is made to take control of a machine that has a “default” (semi−permanent) link to a specific control panel,
the link will not occur; instead, a message will indicate the name of the controlling device. For more information about
default links, see page 5−146.
