Safety
The users must have Read and UndeRstood, but most of all must Respect the
directives described in this manual.
All people coming into contact with the machine on which the numerical
control is installed, whatever their function or whatever state the machine is in
(assembly, disassembly, start-up, production, maintenance, repairs) must have
read and understood the requirements concerning the security and the entirety
of the directives of operation described in the manuals delivered with the
machine.
General SafeTy
The operator must be properly trained to work with the machine
on which the numerical control is installed. Improper use of the
numerical control can cause heavy damage on equipment and/or
injuries to people.
Modification of machine parameters can cause important material damage or
lead to irregular product quality.
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive humidity so as to avoid any
risk of electrocution and any deterioration of the equipment.
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected from the mains power before
carrying out any cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical control, call a technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the neighborhood of magnetic equipment
such as transformers, motors or devices which generate interference (welding
machines, etc.)

Modeva wiTh windowS operaTinG SySTeM
The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the factory with a
configuration especially made for the numerical control.
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the ModEva, offering
in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This configuration also ensures
that the drivers are correct and that the whole guarantees an optimal functioning of the
numerical control.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised not to modify the
Windows installation or to install other programs. You risk disturbing
the functioning of the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the ModEva is equipped with USB ports and that it is very easy or even
tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming from the Internet or
specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of the
numerical control if other programs have been installed or if the
original configuration has been modified.
We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with viruses and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from the
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.
The Windows Operating System, like on every computer, is very
sensitive to inappropriate shutdown. Make sure that you properly turn
the system off (see Leaving the Software, page 37), and NEVER by
cutting the power off!

GettinG Started with Modeva Pac
Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the ModEva
(configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the ModEva
that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.
Touchscreens are pressure
sensitive.
Do not press down hard on the
screen.
Pressing hard on the screen will
damage the display. Such damage
is not covered by manufacturer
warranty!
Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to
touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make
sure that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the finger tips as they may
also damage the screen.
Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen
is very reactive and it is pleasant to use.
Screen Cleaning Turn off the ModEva to clean its screen. Use only a damp and smooth cloth with soap or a
neutral detergent.
NEVER use solvent, petrol, benzene, alcohols, etc.

Tooling management involves the creation, configuration and positioning of the tools that
will be used on the machine. These tools are then taken into account in bend calculations.
creaTinG aTool
→ Programming of punches/dies
Setting inStructionS:
1. If you know the name of the tool you want to modify, touch the PuncH field on the
top left corner and enter directly the desired tool’s name.
When it comes to creating new tools, the easiest way to proceed is often to modify an
existing one. The process is the same whether you want to create a new punch or a new
die.
2. If you don’t know which tool looks the
most like the one you want to create,
you can touch and hold the PuncH
field until the message oK appears in
the top right corner. The list of tools
appears and it is then possible to
browse visually through the existing
ones.
3. Modify the necessary fields, enter a new name and save the new tool by touching
the button and selecting MeMoriZe in the list.
For more information about the tools’ creating process, please refer to the Tools
chapter of the 2D Reference Manual.
