Auxiliary Function (AMI Option)
If you purchased an optional AMI (Auxiliary Machine Interface) from ACU-RITE, you
can program coolant pumps, automatic lubrication systems and other devices to turn on,
off or pulse automatically. Simply insert an “Auxiliary Function” step into your program
each time you want to change a device’s status.
Note: Before you can use the Auxiliary Function feature, the AMI and the output
devices you’re controlling must be properly installed (refer to the AMI
Reference Manual for instructions).
Pausing your program won't affect the auxiliary functions. Each device will continue to
run normally. However,
MILLPWR will shut off all of the relays automatically when the
program ends. To shut off a device earlier in the program, insert another auxiliary step
with the appropriate relay turned "off."
Devices programmed to switch "on" will run continuously as you machine; devices set
to "pulse” will run for the length of time (up to 999.9 seconds) you define.
To add an auxiliary function step to your program:
• Check that the AMI is properly connected to
MILLPWR and that each device is connected
to the AMI’s J18 output connector (refer to the
AMI Reference Manual).
• From the PGM screen, press the MORE STEPS soft-
key.
• Press the MORE STEPS softkey two more times.
