MM4005 Introduction
M Appears when the mechanical origin switch is in “high” state. As a stage
moves from one end of travel to the other, you will see this indicator
appear and disappear. This means that the stage has moved from one
side of the switch to the other. The state of this indicator does not affect
the normal operation of the motion device. For a complete description
of the home search algorithm see Section 4, Motion Control Tutorial.
+ Indicates that the positive direction (usually right) limit switch has been
activated (tripped).
NOTE
If both - and + appear, the motion device is either disconnected or a hard-
ware failure exists. On power-up sequence, the controller checks every
axis for this case. If found, it assumes that no motion device is present.
The axis is marked with Unconnected on the display and all commands
for it will be ignored.
At the end of each axis information line an OK is displayed if no error has
been detected. If a problem is detected on one of the axes, the message
ERROR will appear.
1.3.7 Display Structure
This section describes the most common menus and display functions.
Only local mode menus will be addressed since they represent the vast
majority of the front panel operations.
As described in Section 1.3.3 and illustrated in Fig. 1.4, the local mode is
divided into two sections: MOTOR power and MOTOR power .

When motor power is turned off — the controller “power-on” default mode
— the display function keys are as shown:
This is the “top level MOTOR ” menu.
Each function is defined as follows:
Toggles the display for additional status information.
Activates the motion program management and generation environment.
This mode can be activated from both MOTOR and MOTOR top
level menus. When selected, the function keys change to:
The creation and modification of a program section is addressed extensive-
ly in the Programming In Local Mode section of the Local Mode chapter.
Is described in detail in Section 2.2, Controller Configuration. A brief intro-
ductory description is provided here.
The top level setup menu (after pressing ) offers the choice of two
different setup categories and looks similar to Fig. 1.10.
