"TEACH IN" operating mode
"TEACH IN" is available in the "AUTO" and "MDI" operating modes.
There you may create, edit and execute part programs (main programs or subroutines) for
motional sequences or simple workpieces by approaching and saving positions.
Press the <TEACH IN> key.
Modes groups and channels
Every channel behaves like an independent NC. A maximum of one part program can be
processed per channel.
● Control with 1channel
One mode group exists.
● Control with several channels
Channels can be grouped to form several "mode groups."
Control with 4 channels, where machining is carried out in 2 channels and 2 other channels
are used to control the transport of the new workpieces.
Mode group 1 channel 1 (machining)
Channel 2 (transport)
Mode group 2 channel 3 (machining)
Channel 4 (transport)
Technologically-related channels can be combined to form a mode group.
Axes and spindles of the same mode group can be controlled by one or more channels.
An operating mode group is in one of "Automatic", "JOG" or "MDI" operating modes, i.e.,
several channels of an operating mode group can never assume different operating modes.
