Troubleshooting The Control
15A-12
If you have designed custom screens through PAL (PAL display pages),
you can not use the hotkey to jump to and from the search monitor utility
from these screens.
The search monitor can also be password protected to prevent unauthorized
access. Protecting the search monitor utility with password protection
disables not only the softkey access to the utility, but the hotkey access as
well. If however you password protect the System Suport softkey, access
to the search monitor utility is still available using the hotkey. Password
protecting System Suport only prevents softkey access to the search
monitor utility. Refer to your 9/Series Operation and Programming
manual for details on password protection.
This section defines the setup diagnostic functions available to assist with
integrating the control to the machine tool. The diagnostics can be run any
time the control is powered up and the fiber optic ring is correctly
connected.
The diagnostic functions are used to check and monitor all I/O devices. It
can also be used to monitor individual axis parameters such as following
error, torque, and others.
To access the control’s diagostic functions:
