CURRENT C OMMANDS D ISPLAY
The following are the seven current command displays in this control:
Program Command Check (Home Page),
Current Display Command,
Operation Timers,
Macro Variables,
Tool Life Timers,
Tool Load Monitor,
and Axis Load Monitor.
The PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys are used to select among these displays.
Program Command Check Display
This display, which is the Home Page for the Current Commands Display, shows a current overview of the
important commands. It shows the programmed spindle speed (Snnnnn), the spindle speed commanded to
the spindle drive (CMDnnnnn), and if Parameter 278 bit ACT DISPLAY is set to 1, the actual encoder spindle
speed (ACTnnnnn). In addition, this display shows the CW, CCW, or stopped command being sent to the
spindle and the current gear position.
This display also shows the position of the axes. The coordinates displayed (operator, work, machine, or
distance to go) are selected using the cursor up and down keys.
If the spigot is enabled, the current spigot position will be displayed.
Current display command
This display shows all of the alphabetical address codes (i.e. G, M, S, H, D) and their current value. These
values may not be changed in this display. The default value is shown for the address codes that are not being
used in the current program.
Macro Variables Display
This display shows a list of the macro variables and their present values. As the control interprets a program,
the variable changes are displayed on this page and the results can be viewed. The variables may be modified
in this display. For more information on this display, refer to the "Macros" section of this manual.
Operation Timers Display
This display shows the current power-on time, cycle start time, and the feed time. These times may be reset
to zero by using the cursor up and down keys to highlight the desired title and pressing the ORIGIN button.
Listed below these times are two M30 counters that are used for counting completed parts. They may be set to
zero independently to provide for the number of parts per shift and total parts. Both counters are increased
when an M30 is operated.
Tool Life Display
This display shows the time the tool is in feed (Feed-Time), the time the tool is in the spindle (Total-Time), and
the number of times the tool has been selected (Usage). This information can be used to assist in predicting
tool life. The values in this display can be reset to zero using the Cursor and ORIGIN buttons. This is done by
putting the cursor on the title line, and pressing ORIGIN to zero all of the data in that column.
