Control Definition
2-5 HP6A Manual
Almost all of the programming for the HP6A hone is hard written (cannot be changed by operator) into the
CPU. However, there are a few variables that can be changed on the machine to set the control to the
exact machine it is operating. These variables are called Address Codes throughout this manual. A list
of these variables follows later in this section.
NOTE:
Changing any of the variables in the control without factory permission and direction may result
in a non- operational machine and void factory warranty.
Programming Mode:
When the machine is powered up it automatically goes into the standard operating mode. To put the
machine into programming mode use the following steps.
Machine must be out of the Park position.
Machine must be powered up and ready for operation.
Press the E-stop in and leave it in.
Press and hold the Auto Feed key.
While holding the Auto Feed key release the E-stop.
When the machine is in programming mode a zero (0) will appear on the display. It is now OK to
release the Auto Feed Key.
When the Auto Feed key is released the zero that was display will change to a different value.
Controls are still active in programming mode. Observe all safety
precautions that pertain to operating the hone.
You are now in the Programming Mode. Pressing and holding the Auto Feed key will display an Address
Code designation (0-78). When you release the Auto Feed key the display will then show what value is
stored in the last displayed Address Code. For example if you were holding the Auto Feed key in and the
display said 0 that means you are looking at Address Code 0. When you release the Auto Feed key the
data will change and display .012, this is the stored value for Address Code zero. Therefore, Address
Code 0 = .012 and so on for all of the remaining address codes.
To change to a different Address Code designation simply press the “Inc” or “Dec” buttons while you are
holding in the Auto Feed key.
To change the data stored in an Address Code use the “Inc” and “Dec” buttons when not holding in the
Auto Feed key.
All changed data will be used to operate the machine until power is turned off. To save the changes you
have made even after a power off condition, you need to press the Manual Feed key after you have made
the changes and before you power down. If the Manual Feed key has been pressed the next time the
machine is powered on the changes you have made will be present and operating the machine.
