1. Operation Panel
At present, the woodworking machine system is divided into four major systems: MW2200, MW2800,
MW2900 and MW5800. Among them, MW2800 and MW2900 are the same series. Therefore, they are
only divided into three series actually, and each series has some differences with others. The following is
the introduction of each series.
MW2200 Series1.1.
The MW2200 screen is shown in the figure below and is divided into three major areas. The instructions
for each area are as follows:
-A: Main screen area Please refer to 1.1.1. MW2800 is similar or identical to this part of MW5800.
-B: Mode area Please refer to 1.1.2, and this part is the exclusive screen of MW2200.
-C: Operating area Please refer to 1.1.3, and this part is the exclusive screen of MW2200.

1.1.1. Main screen area
The main screen area is mainly divided into three parts, as explained below:
-Caption：display the currently selected processing file, system mode, system status, selected page,
time, and user level.
-Page：: display the content information of the currently selected page, which will have different
content as the selection of different pages.
-Button menu：: available for page switching and function selection. The left ^ (up arrow) represents
the previous menu; the right > (right arrow) represents the next menu.

Error! Use the Start tab to apply “Title 1” to the text need to be displayed here.

1.1.2. Mode area
The mode ares is divided into 5 parts
-Lamp signal：There are three lamp signals, which are the system preparation completion, the ZRN
completion and the system alarm.
-Incremental inch setting：For the incremental inch function, eight different length settings are
provided, and the system mode is automatically switched to the incremental inch mode after setting.
-Mode switching：Six modes are available: auto, MDI, handwheel, inch, incremental Inch and origin.
-Processing accessibility：Two functions are available, namely handwheel simulation and single
section execution.
-Operation button：Three operation buttons are provided, which are system reset, starting of
processing, and program pause.
1.1.3. Operating area
Operating area is divided into four parts
-Arrow buttons：Provides selection buttons for each axial movement during manual operation
(inching/incremental inching). The selection button of the rapid positioning (RAPID) mode is in the
middle. When clicking in the inching mode, it becomes the fast forward mode, and then return to the
inching mode when clicking again.
-Override adjustment：Provides three override adjustment modes of fast forward override, feedrate
override and spindle override.
-Selectable function buttons：F1-F12 is a customized operation menu, which can be selected according
to the actual machine configuration.

Select the path set：Maintenance Group > Next Page > Item Setting
-Fixed function buttons：Six fixed function buttons are provided, namely vacuum pump, positioning,
tool changer forward rotation, tool changer reversal, spindle startup and spindle stop.
MW2800 / MW2900 Series1.2.
The MW2800 / MW2900 series is a model that provides a customized operation interface for the
machinery factories, so it will have one more operation interface than other models; the following figure
shows different operation screens designed for the needs of various manufacturers:
Since there will be one more page of operation screen developed by the mechanical manufacturer, there
will be a button for the operation interface in the button menu part of the bottom, which is convenient for
the user to switch back to the main operation screen quickly.
The other operating parts are basically similar to the MW2200, which are operated by a keyboard and
mouse. The only difference is that the MW2800 series does not have a software operation panel resident
on the screen.
MW5800 Series1.3.
The MW5800 series is a model with standard screen. The appearance and screen of the system are as
follows. It is identical to the main screen area of the MW2200. Also the button positions for all functions
are the same.
