Anaheim CLCI2000 CLCI2004 PROGRAM GENERATOR

22

The CLCI2000 Series Indexers can be easily controlled by using the CLCI2004 Software. This software has been written

to enable non programmers to easily control the indexer. The CLCI2004 Software has the capabilities to write programs

using the user-friendly editor. The Software will allow control of all 4 axes of motion. If motion of the step motors needs

to be combined with other computer boards or computer software there are no problems using ANAHEIM

AUTOMATION's custom libraries. Two libraries have been created to use with Microsoft QuickBASIC and Borland C++

to allow the user to write software to control the CLCI2000 Series Indexers along with any other computer boards they

might need. These libraries contain all the Subroutines and Functions needed to control the Indexer.

The Main Screen of the software is broken up into 3 windows - The Program Window in the upper left had corner, the

Function Window in the lower left hand corner, and the Command Window on the right side of the Screen. On the left

hand side of the screen, the current programming line is also displayed along with the MODE that the program is currently

in.

The Program Window will show 10 lines of the program at a time. When a line is added to the program, it will appear

in this window. The Function Window allows the user to do various things in conjunction with the 'Function Keys' on the

keyboard. There is an OPTION MENU that can be selected by typing the function key F7. This will bring up the Option

Menu which contains additional commands. Typing F7 again will return back to the original Function Window. The

Command Window contains all the commands that will be used to program with. This window was made available to

help the user to write programs.
