PATHPilOT iNTERFACE
If the Manual Tool Change opon is selected, the mill pauses at the M6 command during a G-code
program le execuon, allowing you to manually change tools (see chapter 4, Operaon, for
informaon on the manual tool change procedure). Aer changing tools, press Cycle Start to resume
program execuon with the new tool. When the mill is paused and waing for a manual tool change
in the middle of a G-code program, the Cycle Start LED ashes on and o and a message is displayed
with the requested tool number on the tool path display.
6.6.2 Changing the Network Name
Use the Network Name eld to change the network name of the controller; press Enter. The
controller must be restarted for the name change to take eect.
If you are connected to a network using either the Ethernet jack or the oponal Wireless Network
Adapter (PN 34705), the controller appears on a network as network-aached storage. The controller
exports a Windows network share named gcode to the Windows network with a domain name
WORKGROUP. The default network name of the controller is TORMACHPCNC. The login name for
the share is WORKGROUP\operator and the password is pcnc. The network name must be unique
on your network. For more informaon, refer to the documentaon that ships with the Wireless
Network Adapter.
6.6.3 Disabling Reference Switches
The Limit Switches checkbox is selected by default. To provide a temporary workaround for
a malfunconing limit switch circuit, clear the checkbox. When cleared, Ref X, Ref Y, Ref Z, and
Ref A sets the machine reference posion to the mill posion at the me it is clicked rather than
compleng the homing procedure.
NOTE: If desired, use this procedure in conjuncon with one or more dial indicators mounted at the ends
of mill travel to provide a more accurate method of manually referencing the mill.
