In the event that a system error or warning, PAL display page, PAL
message, or E-Stop condition occurs while the screen saver is active, the
horizontal scrolling line is replaced with a scrolling message “MESSAGE
PENDING, PRESS A KEY TO DISPLAY.” The operator should press any
keyboard key or softkey to return to the normal 9/Series screen and view
the condition. The system installer can write PAL to disable the screen
saver automatically when one of these conditions occur.
Important: The system installer has the ability to disable the softkey
activation of the screen saver utility in the PAL program. Refer to your
system installer’s documentation for details.
The screen saver does not impact machine operation. MTB panel, PAL, or
part program requests for machine motions or functions occur regardless of
the status of the CRT. You should exit the screen saver before performing
manual or PAL machine motions. It is also recommended you disable the
screen saver for the first few runs of a part program until you are confident
machine motions are occurring as desired.
Enable the screen saver and set the activation timer value (time without
any keyboard input before the screen saver starts) as follows:
