3.5 GRAPHIC POSITION Screens

3.5.2 DRAW Screen

In the drawing area in the middle of screen the current tool center is shown by a cross. The following information can be read in the top right corner of the screen: Current feed, spindle revolution and the number of the current tool. Fur- ther on in the column the position display of axes can be seen as se- lected on the POSITION DIS- PLAYS screen. (see the chapter 3.1 on the page 22). In the bottom right corner the scale, below it the diagram symbolizing the position of the coordinate system are shown.

In case of automatic execution the cross indicates the current tool position. A dot is also put to the center of the cross. The drawing depends on the speed of movement; as the points are drawn only a few times per second, in case of fast movement the drawn tool path will be not a continuous line, but a dotted one.

L Note: the size of the cross is defined by parameter 0561 CROSS DOT. The value entered at the parameter specifies the length of the leg of the cross in raster. The value cannot be greater than 7.
