Introduction
The example programs in this manual are based on a uniform blank size and can be displayed on the
screen by adding the following blank definition (see index “Programming Modes”, Program Selection):
G30 G17 X+0 Y+O Z-40
G31 G90 X+100 Y+lOO Z+O
The examples can be executed on machtne tools with tool axis Z and machining plane XY If your
machine uses a different axis as the tool axis, this axis must be programmed instead of Z and likewise
the correspondrng axes for the machining plane.
Beware of collisions when executing the example programs!
Buffer batteries protect the stored programs and machine parameters against loss due to power
interruptron.
When the message
EXCHANGE BUFFER BATIERY
appears, you must change the batteries. Battery type:
3 AA-size batteries, leak-proof
IEC designation “LR6”
The batteries should be replaced once a year.
Battery replacement is described in the manual of the machine manufacturer
Error messages
The TNC checks input data and status of the contra
Cause and reaction of the control: Remedy:
The permitted range of values is exceeded:
e.g. feed rate too high.
The value is not accepted and an error
message appears.
Clear the value with the “CE” key,
enter and confirm the correct value.
E.g. GO0 X+50 X+100 Change to the “PROGRAMMING AND EDITING”
operating mode. The error can normally be found
either in the block with the displayed block num-
ber or in a previously executed block.
Then: correct the error.
During “TEST RUN” or during program execution,
the TNC stops with an error message before exe-
cuting the corresponding block and displays the
block number in which an error was found.
Malfunctions that affect operating safety cause
blinking error messages.
Note down the error message!
and machine.
Operating mode “Full sequence” and restart.
Switch off the machine or the control.
Remove the fault if possrble.
Attempt to restart
If the program then runs correctly, the problem
was only a spurious malfunction.
If the same error message comes up again,
contact the customer service of the machine
manufacturer.
