HANDY OPERATOR'S PANEL
A Handy Operator’s Panel can be connected as a display unit.
Information entered by pressing the keys on the Handy Operator’s Panel
is output to the PMC. The Handy Operator’s Panel has nine LEDs.
The handy Operator’s Panel supports two control modes:
MDI and machine operation modes. The modes are toggled by pressing
the M–OPE/MDI key.
– MDI mode
In this mode, the Handy Operator’s Panel can be used as a display unit
similarly to the CRT/MDI. The function indicated in the lower row
on the key top of each key is valid in this mode. No key function can
be redefined.
– Machine operation mode
This mode allows the user to create a manipulation system freely. In
this mode, the user can define the function of each key using the C
executor or Ladder (use of Ladder to define key functions requires an
external key input function).
NOTE
Do not confuse this MDI mode with the MDI mode selected
by a mode selection signal (MD1, MD2, or MD4).
Perform the following operations previously to make the Handy
Operator’s Panel usable. Once the settings are made, it is unnecessary to
re–set them, unless all memory clear is performed or another display unit
is set up.
Setting procedure:
1 Switch off the Power Mate CNC power, and set the MTSW rotary
switch to 1 (primary selection).
2 Switch on the Power Mate CNC power. After confirming that ”1” is
blinking in the LED, press the PSW pushbutton switch. The number
indicated in the LED changes sequentially. When the LED indicates
”2,” press the PSW. After confirming that ”2” is blinking in the LED,
press the PSW again (secondary selection).
3 Switch off the Power Mate CNC power, and set the MTSW rotary
switch to the ”0” position.
This completes the setting procedure.
