PARAMETER / DIAGNOSTIC D ISPLAY
The PARAMETER DISPLAY can be selected at any time by pressing the PARAM DGNOS button. Changes to
parameters can be made when in any mode except when running a program. The CURSOR up and down
buttons move to different parameters and the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN buttons move through groups of
parameters. Parameters 1, 15, 29, 43, and 57 are displayed as a single page of discrete flags. Selecting
among the flags is done with the CURSOR left and right buttons. Parameters cannot be changed with the
servos on. The EMERGENCY STOP button can be used to turn off the servos.
For machines with the fifth axis option, the parameter display organization has been modified to accommodate
the extra axis parameters. Parameter numbers have remained the same as in a four-axis control. Additional
parameters have been added for the fifth axis.
The parameters have been reorganized, so that logically-associated parameters are grouped together. These
logical groupings are placed together into contiguous screens called pages. The most commonly changed
parameters have been placed at the beginning of the page list. The following is a list of the parameter pages
and the order of succession in the control:
PAGE TITLE DATA DESCRIPTION
COMMON SWTCH Non-axis bit switches.
COMMON PAGE1 First page of non-axis parameters.
COMMON PAGE2 Second page of non-axis parameters.
COMMON PAGE3 Third page of non-axis parameters.
MACRO M CALL Parameters that alias M codes to subroutines.
MACRO G CALL Parameters that alias G codes to macros.
X BIT SWITCH Bit switches for the X axis.
X PARAMETERA First page of X axis parameters.
X PARAMETERB Second page of X axis parameters.
Y BIT SWITCH Bit switches for the Y axis.
Y PARAMETERA First page of Y axis parameters.
Y PARAMETERB Second page of Y axis parameters.
Z BIT SWITCH Bit switches for the Z axis.
Z PARAMETERA First page of Z axis parameters.
Z PARAMETERB Second page of Z axis parameters.
A BIT SWITCH Bit switches for the A axis.
A PARAMETERA First page of A axis parameters.
B BIT SWITCH Bit switches for the B axis.
B PARAMETERA First page of B axis parameters.
B PARAMETERB Second page of B axis parameters.
X SCREW COMP X axis screw compensation value.
Y SCREW COMP Y axis screw compensation value.
Z SCREW COMP Z axis screw compensation value.
