115 Conveyor On- Time (minutes)
The above two settings control the intermittent chip conveyor function. If setting 114 is zero, the chip conveyor
will behave normally. If it is set to some number of minutes, the chip conveyor will automatically turn itself off
after the number of minutes specified by setting 115, then turn itself back on later.
Setting 114 controls how often the cycle is to be repeated, that is, if setting 114 is set to 30 and setting 115 is
set to 2, the chip conveyor will turn itself on every half hour, run for two minutes, then turn itself off. On-time
should be set no greater than 80% of cycle time.
Note: The CHIP FWD button (or M31) will start the conveyor in the forward direction
and activate the cycle.
Note: The CHIP REV button (or M32) will start the conveyor in the reverse direction
and activate the cycle.
Notes: The CHIP STOP button (or M33) will stop the conveyor and cancel the cycle.
If Parameter 209 CNVY DR OVRD bit 16 is set to 0 and the chip conveyor is
cycling, opening the door will cause the conveyor to stop and suspend
cycling. When the door is closed, the cycle will resume.
If Parameter 209 CNVY DR OVRD is set to 1 and the chip conveyor is cycling,
the conveyor will continue to run when the door is open but will stop at the end
of the cycle and cancel the cycle. When the door is closed, the cycle will resume.
Under no circumstances will the chip conveyor automatically start running when the
door is open.
116 PIVOT LENGTH only changeable in DEBUG mode
This is to prevent accidental loss of the setting value. Setting 116 is intended to be set once when the machine
is first built, then never changed unless the machine is physically altered. A setting file can be loaded from disk
or RS-232 and the values of all settings will be replaced. However, now, if the control is not in DEBUG mode at
the time, and the value of setting 116 is to be changed, all setting except 116 will be changed and alarm 202
SETTING CRC ERROR will be generated.
117 G143 GLOBAL OFFSET
This setting is provided for customers who have several VR-Series mills and want to transfer the programs and
tool from one to another. The user can enter the pivot length difference into this setting, and it will be applied to
the G143 tool length compensation.
118 M99 BUMPS M30 CNTRS
When this setting is turned ON, an M99 will increment the M30 counters that are visible by pressing CURNT
COMNDS and PAGE DOWN twice. Note that an M99 will only increment the counters in loop mode in a main
program, not a sub program. An M99 used as a subprogram return or used with a P value to jump to another
part of the program will not increment the M30 counters.
119 OFFSET LOCK
This is an ON / OFF setting. When it is OFF, no special functions occur. When it is ON, the user is prevented
from altering any of the offsets. However, programs which alter offsets will still be able to do so.
120 MACRO VAR LOCK
This is an ON / OFF setting. When it is OFF, no special functions occur. When it is ON, the user is preventd
from altering any of the macro variables. However, programs which alter macro variables will still be able to do
so.
