1.1 Operation Devices Type
The control panels can be divided into two units: LCD MONITOR and MDIOP. The MDIOP data input area is for
users to edit programs word by word, or edit setting. And MDIOP operation area is a panel for achieving different
working process, such as multiple function keys, keys and pulse generator (hand wheel) and etc. OP will have
different designs due to different tool machine designs. But, this system has one standard panel that can be
selected by tool machine producers. At below we will introduce LCD display device and MDIOP data input
area.MDIOP operation area will be introduced at the Chapter Two.

1.4 POS Function
You will see POS page when you enter this system, or you can press <POS> key to enter into the coordinate
display screen. Users will be able to choose 6 screen displays by pressing those function keys which are
【ABS.】, 【REL.】, 【MAC.】, 【RST】and 【QUIT】. There are some command information that will is displayed
in those screens, which will be described separately as following：

Actual Feed Rate
Feedrate(mm/min)：Feed rate of servo structure-is the composite speed for each servo axis. Unit is mm/min.
Feedrate percentage(%)：Feedrate percentage-with the federate dial to choose 15 selections from 0% to 150%.
Quick feed percentage (%)：Quick feed percentage-with the quick feed button to have 4 selections of <LOW>、
<25%>、<50%>、<100%>.
Time：Current time.
Rotation situation
Rotational speed (rpm/min)：Current spindle actual rotation. Unit is rpm/min.
Rotational speed percentage(%)：Rotational speed percentage-with rotation button<UP>、<DOWN> to have 12
selections of 0%~120%.
Hint message display situation
Message：According to system situation, there are 7 messages as below :F0（current federate is 0）、 SBK（single
block）、 BDT（selective block jog）、 DRN（dry run）、 MLK（machine lock）、 OPS（optional program pause）、
ABS（absolute encoder reader）
Situation of CUT, RUN, CNT
CUT(H”M”S)：Every time when users press Cycle Start button, cutting time will reset(return zero) and start to time
again until this working process finish.
RUN(H”M)：Running time is the total cutting time after every booting, until the system shuts down, the time will be
reset to be zero. You can also use【TIME CLEAR】to make it to be zero.

CNT(current working pieces/max working pieces)：when CNC program reads M02, M30 or other M code at the
end, system will sum up working pieces, this function need to use Pr.0089 and PLC to work.
【ABSOLUTE COORDINATE】
Pressing【ABS.】to enter into absolute coordinate screen. Details will be shown in bigger words at the upper left
side of the screen. Using the program home (means the workpiece coordinate) to show tool’s current location,
the absolute coordinate will be changed according to the movement of tool. This is called absolute coordinate
Absolute coordinate is the program coordinate, which is [present value –tool offset = program value.]
ABS

【Time Clear】
Press 【Time Clear】to delete current total running time.
【Workpiece Clear】
Press 【Workpiece Clear】to delete current workpiece-make it to be zero.

【Initial Workpiece】
Press 【Initial Workpiece】to change current workpiece-make it to be ten.
【Max Workpiece】
Press 【Max Workpiece】to change current max. workpiece-make it to be 100. When it comes to be 100 pieces,
the controller will notify the workpieces have reached target.

【RELATIVE COORDINATE】
Pressing 【REL.】to enter into the relative coordinate screen. Details will be shown in bigger words at the upper
left side of the screen. The relative coordinate system means the distance between the present position and any
point that is decided by users. So users can set the relative coordinate value to zero at anytime, or enter the
non-zero value directly.
The way for relative coordinate to return zero：
If want to set the 3 axes relative coordinate values to zero separately or at the same time, users only need to
press the corresponding sub-function buttons 【CLR. X】, 【CLR. Y】, 【CLR. Z】, 【CLR. ALL】to execute
the corresponding clean.
Setting way for relative coordinate：
If you want to reset the coordinate value and to let X coordinate to 100.00, Y coordinate to 200.000 and Z
coordinate to 300.000, only need to set X100, Y200, Z300. Then, pressing <INPUT> to reset the coordinate
value immediately.
REL

【MACHINERY COORDINATE】
Pressing【MAC.】to enter into the relative coordinate screen. Details will be shown in bigger words at the upper
left side of the screen.
Machine coordinate is the distance of the present position corresponding to the reference point
Note：Each machine has its own reference point. For safety concern, please looking for the reference point
whenever reboot machine before executing work.
MAC

【HANDLE】
At the auto mode to press【HANDLE】, users can use MPG interruption to increase or decrease the movement
of tool to change the tool path.
Note：Because the absolute coordinate will not be changed by MPG interruption, therefore the tool path later will
have certain offset with original program path. This offset need to be modified by manual return zero to
clear. And about the offset value, you can refer to MPG coordinate.
About this detailed function, you can refer to maintenance manual-MPG interruption signal selection chapter.
