WARMUP C OMPENSATION
When the machine is powered on, if setting 109, and at least one of Settings 110, 111 or 112 are set to a
nonzero value, the following warning will be displayed:
CAUTION! Warm-up Compensation is specified!
Do you wish to activate
Warm-up Compensation (Y/N)?
If the operator responds 'Y', the control immediately applies the total compensation, (setting 110,111 and/ or
112), and the compensation begins to decrease as the time elapses. For instance after 50% of the time in
Setting 109 has elapsed, the compensation distance for the X-axis, in Setting 110, will be 50%.
As with other settings, the Warm-up Compensation Settings can be changed at any time. Updating the Warm-
up Compensation Time may activate compensation, but changes to the X, Y or Z distance settings will not
activate compensation. To "restart" the time period, it is necessary to power the machine off and on and
answer "yes", to the compensation query at start-up.
WARNING!
Changing settings 110, 111 or 112 while compensation is in progress
can cause a sudden movement of up to 0.0044 inches.
The amount of remaining warmup time is displayed on the bottom right hand corner of the Diagnostics Inputs 2
screen using the standard hh:mm:ss format. The initial amount of warmup time to be used, starting when
power is applied, is specified in Setting 109 WARMUP TIME IN MIN.
