7.2 Mounting of the Controller
The P40T-002 controller is intended for installation into a 138 x 138 mm panel cut-out.
Required tools: 1 slotted screwdriver and 1 Phillips screwdriver.
Figure 4: Mounting into panel cut-out
1. Insert the positioning control into a suitable panel cut-out.
2. Then loosen the two Phillips screws of the mounting brackets attached to the rear panel. Turn the two
mounting brackets so that the free threaded holes point outwards and then retighten the Phillips screws.
3. Now insert the provided grub screws into the threaded holes of the mounting brackets and turn clock-
wise until the device is firmly seated in the cut-out.
7.3 Activation of the Device
After applying the 24 VDC power supply voltage (and automatic initialization), the device is ready for operation.

10 Operation Modes
10.1 Single Mode
In single mode, a single block can be processed. Each entered target position must be confirmed with “OK”.
In single mode it is also possible to load the target position for the axis “Angle”and “Gap”from a material
table. The fields “Material selection”and “Material thickness”are located on the left side of the menu.
After one of the two fields has been changed and the new value has been confirmed, the corresponding target
positions for axis “Angle”and “Gap are displayed. It is also possible to assign a value each for the "Cut Length"
and "Cut Offset".
The material properties can be changed via the material table. This is loaded by pressing the material selection
key for longer than 5 seconds. After releasing the key, the material table opens. Either the password 2505 for
the material table or the service password (250565) is required for access.
