4.8.3.7
Code 324: Toggle Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode allows the control to run a program without actually moving the table. It is helpful
in diagnosing Computer/display problems.
4.8.4 Operator Defaults/Options Codes
The following codes allow the user to set programming defaults or turn features on or off. To get to any
of these codes go to Service Codes, press “D” and press the code you wish to view.
4.8.4.1
Code 66: Default Metric
This code causes the control to turn on in the metric mode.
4.8.4.2
Code 67: Default English
This code causes the control to turn on in the English mode.
4.8.4.3
Code 79: Beeper On
This turns on the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.4
Code 80: Beeper Off
This turns off the beeper to the control keys.
4.8.4.5
Code 129: Arc Accuracy
When the SMX control operates at high feedrates it may create small part machining errors as it goes
around sharp corners. This exists on all CNC’s and is commonly called a “following error.” The
control is factory preset to allow a maximum following error of 0.025 mm (.001”). The feedrate will
automatically be adjusted around sharp corners so as to not violate this limit. This code only applies
to arcs that are programmed and ones that are created in the tool path to generate the shape you
want. This code will not make a difference on mill moves.
You may adjust the maximum following error to a value as small as .005 mm. However, the smaller
the value, the slower the feedrate around corners.
To input a new Following Error: follow the instructions on the screen and input the Following Error
value (from 0.005 to 0.25 mm) and press INC SET.
4.8.4.6
Code 334: Set Control Options
This code turns software features on and off.
4.8.4.7
Code 335: Toggles spindle on/off during pause events
This code toggles between leaving the spindle on or, turning it off, during PAUSE events in the
programme.
