Manual mode allows manual control of all devices on the workcell. There are sublevels within Manual
mode used to access different workcell functions. The workcell is considered to be in Manual mode even
when in a sublevel of Manual mode. Manual mode also serves as the Teach mode for all workcell models.
Models equipped with a trackball can jog the gantry via the trackball from Manual mode. An axis
combination can be selected from the trackball as well as the Axis sublevel. Models that are not equipped
with a trackball (PVA250™, PVA750™, PVA2000C™) can jog the gantry using the function keys from
the Jog sublevel menu.
Programming the workcell is accomplished in concert with a PC-compatible computer by using Precision
Valve & Automation’s PathMaster® software. The operator must be in Manual mode, or a sub level of
Manual mode, for PathMaster® to function properly. For more information on programming, please
consult the separate PathMaster® Manual in the Operating Guide.
