Please Choose Initialize Function:
1. Remove Custom AMP and Load Default AMP
2. Remove PAL
3. Remove PAL, Remove AMP and Load Default AMP
4. Exit
Please Enter Selection
Important: Note that the selections having to do with AMP cause both the
AMP in RAM and the AMP in BACKUP to be removed from the control.
This in turn will cause the DEFAULT AMP to be loaded to RAM.
Important: Note that the selections having to do with PAL will cause the
PAL program in FLASH memory to be deleted.
3. At this point, you should power-down the CNC, if you have not
already done so.
4. Make a selection (1-4) on the workstation. The workstation screen
displays informative messages, and instructions.
5. Connect the workstation’s serial port “COM1” to PORT B on the
CNC.
6. Power-up the CNC. Then “press a key when ready” as indicated on
the workstation (PC). This will start the process of deleting the AMP
and/or PAL as selected in step 4.
7. The Workstation and CNC screens will display the status of the
executing“INIT9S” utility. When complete, the utility is
automatically exited.
8. Now cycle power to the CNC. This will load the default AMP (if
AMP was cleared).
