This manual describes how to operate with the CNC using the keyboard, monitor and the operator panel. It also describes the various CNC operating modes as well as how to operate with each of them.

1.1CNC configuration. Hardware

Monitor, keyboard and operator panel

The CNC assembly comprises the monitor, keyboard and the operator panel.

•The monitor shows the CNC's status and, in general, the information about the whole system.

•The keyboard is used to communicate with the CNC; the operator may request information on commands or change the CNC status using new instructions.

•The operator panel is used to govern the various elements of the machine, including the movement of the axes and the control of the spindle, etc.

Modules

Depending on the CNC model, it may be connected in different ways. For example, it would be possible to connect devices such as:

•Floppy disk drive.

•CD-ROM unit.

•Printer.

•PC-compatible keyboard.

•Mouse with PS-2 connector.

•Devices with USB interface.

•Ethernet connection.

•Etc.

For further information, see the hardware manual.
