THE MEMORIES
The different memories of the DNC 70 may be represented schematically as
follows:
RAM
+
battery
ROM
Program
Work memory
Internal non volatile memory
Products, production,
machineparameters,
axes position
The DNC 60 is equipped as standard with a ROM memory containing the
DNC 60 program and a RAM memory which allows the programming and
storing of products and machine parameters. The RAM is divided into several
zones each having a different use.
WORK MEMORY (BUFFER MEMORY)
This is a static RAM used for programming, modifying and executing
products.
It is a temporary memory whose contents are deleted whenever another
product is called for.
The contents of this memory is conserved if the DNC power supply is cut,
even if it has not been previously stored in the internal memory.
DNC INTERNAL MEMORY
This fixed internal memory, of the static RAM type maintained by a lithium
battery, contains the products, axes positions, numbers concerning the
production and machine parameters.
No programming or modification are done directly in this memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DNC 60 PAGE 9
THE USER INTERFACE
THE SCREEN
The screen displays the products, and machine parameters as well as all other
useful information for programming and machine work.
The keys situated on the front of the DNC 60, are used for selecting the
screen pages and introducing data.
A cursor indicates where the user can intervene.
THE KEYBOARD
The keyboard is divided into several zones:
a) Numerical keyboard
b) Screen page selection keys
c) Working mode selection keys
d) The commands
e) The cursor keys
f) Other keys
a) Numerical keyboard:
The numerical keys as well as the and keys are used to introduce
numbers or values into the different fields.
b) The screen page selection keys:
MENU key
Gives access to the MAIN MENU page.
PRODUCT LIST key
Pressing this key displays the list of products in
the DNC memory.
PRODUCT key
Visualization of the product data (sequence 0)
and shear functions.
SEQUENCE key
Triple function key.
Pressing the key once displays all the values of
the current sequence.
Pressing a second time displays the main values
of the sequences and axes in large characters.
Pressing a third time displays the main values
of the sequence with the secondary values of
the axes in large characters.

PAGE 10 USER GUIDE DNC 60 GS
CORRECTION key
This key displays the correction page which
allows to make corrections to the current
sequence, as well as to the entire product.
c) The working modes
PROGRAMMING mode
Allows to introduce, modify and read data as
well as to store, search for and transfer
programs.
MANUAL mode
Authorizes axis movement and auxiliary
functions using the
keys.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC mode
Allows a machine cycle with the current
sequence values without automatic sequence
change.
This mode is used for adjustments when
realizing the first product, as well as for
products with only one cut.
The sequence change is made using the
keys.
NB: The product counter Q does not function
in this mode.
AUTOMATIC mode
Normal mode for product production.
The DNC automatically changes sequence after
each cut.
Changing directly from "programming" mode
automatically forces the first sequence of the
program.
Changing from "programming" mode to "semi-
automatic" mode and then to "automatic"
mode, conserves the current sequence for
execution.
This allows to take up again a product in
production without having to make "empty"
cycles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DNC 60 PAGE 11
d) The commands
DELETE key
Allows to delete a sequence or a program when
the cursor is placed on the PRODUCT or N
fields.
Only functions in PROGRAMMING mode.
CLEAR key
This key allows to delete data indicated by the
cursor.
Pressing this key twice, on most pages, deletes
all the data on the page.
SEARCH key
According to the cursor position allows:
- to search for a product
- to search for a sequence
- to search for a screen page
- to execute a transfer
Only functions in PROGRAMMING mode.
STORE (memorization) key
Depending on the cursor position, allows to
store the current program in the DNC internal
memory, or create (insert) a new sequence in
the middle of an existing program, or copy
(teach) the value of an axis positioned manually
in the current sequence.
This key is only valid in programming
(memorization and insertion) mode and in
manual (teach) mode.

PAGE 12 USER GUIDE DNC 60 GS
e) The cursor keys
SEQUENCE FORWARDS / PAGE
FORWARDS key
This key allows to scroll pages of the same type.
Also allows to pass to the next page when a
series of information occupies several pages.
Eg.: !program sequence
!production pages
!parameter pages
In PROGRAMMING mode also allows to
create an identical sequence (copy function) to
the previous one as long as this is the last
sequence of the program.
The incorporated LED indicates whether the
sequence is the last of the program.
PAGE BACKWARDS key
Allows to scroll backwards through pages of
the same type.
Functions in all modes except automatic mode.
Cursor upwards, to the next accessible field.
Cursor downwards, to next accessible field.
f) Other keys
START key
Commands:
!The displacement of the axis and auxiliary
functions.
During movement the LED lights up.
!An indexation (on option depending on the
configuration) on digital axes when this key
is first pressed after switching on the DNC.
To indicate that an index is being taken the
LED remains constantly alight, until the
indexes are received. Indexes can only be taken
in or modes.
STOP key
This key stops, depending on the working
mode chosen, the axes or auxiliary functions in
movement
The "Stop" LED will remain alight until we
press it a second time.
NB: No axes (or auxiliary function) movement
will be authorized unless the stop LED is off.
In this group, you will find as well all the dis-
placement keys connected to the "MANUAL"
mode.
