Basic Control Operation
Chapter 2
2-40
This feature allows the removal of a rotary table or other axis attachment
from a machine. When activated, the control ignores messages that may
occur resulting from the loss of feedback from a removed axis such as
servo errors, etc.
Important: This feature removes the selected axis from the control as an
active axis. Any attempt to move the removed axis results in an error.
This means that part programs that use the removed axis name cannot be
executed. Jog moves and MDI commands that attempt to move the
removed axis also result in an error.
This feature can be enabled in AMP. The axis must be selected as
“Detached” to be considered removed. Refer to the documentation
supplied by your system installer for the necessary steps involved in
detaching an axis or physically removing axis hardware from your
machine.
The Time Parts Count Display logs data relevant to part program execution
such as number of workpieces cut, cycle time, lot size, and remaining
workpieces. This data can be displayed and altered through the Time Parts
screen.
There are 3 levels of access to the Time Parts screen. They are listed
below in order of most restrictive to least restrictive. Refer to page 2-23
