2.2.2Description of the various operating modes

Automatic mode

It is used to execute part-programs in automatic or single-block mode.

While executing a part-program, any other operating mode may also be accessed (except "MANUAL" and "MDI") without interrupting the execution of the program. This way, a program may be edited while another one is running (background editing). The running program cannot be edited.

Manual (jog) mode

It is used to control the machine movements manually using the keys of the operator panel, perform a home search, set the part zero, etc.

Editing - simulation mode

It is used for editing and simulating part-programs even while running another part- program.

MDI mode

It is used for editing and executing blocks in ISO code or in high-level language.

User tables

It is used for manipulating the CNC tables regarding part-programs (zero offsets, fixtures and arithmetic parameters).

Tool and magazine table

It is used to edit CNC tables regarding the tools and the tool magazine.

Utilities mode

It is used to handle CNC part-programs (copy, delete, rename, etc.).

A password may also be set to access the various operating modes.

Likewise, it offers the possibility to do a backup or a restore of the desired part of the disk.
