Machine Control
The Machine control buttons provide Operator Start, Stop, and Mode control.
Program/Operator Mode
In this example you start and stop the CNC/motion system in Program control mode.
1. Press the Operator control mode button so that Program is displayed.
Program is now the active mode.
2. Press Start.
The required axes and drives are enabled and homed. The machine state goes to IDLE.
3. Press Start (again).
The required axes enable and begin operating according to the Logix program. When the system is
running, Start appears dimmed. The machine state goes to RUNNING.
4. Press Stop.
The system stops.
5. Press the Control mode button until Operator is displayed in the Control field.
In Operator control, you can use one of the faceplate displays to manually control one of the drives.
IMPORTANT The machine must be in a stopped state to switch modes.
Control Button Button Function
Program/Operator
Toggles the control mode between Program and Operator. Operator mode permits manual control of the drives from the
faceplate. Program mode operates the drive according to the Logix program. The active control mode is displayed on the button.
If control mode is switched from Program to Operator while the machine is RUNNING, the machine is STOPPED.
Start
When in Program control mode, pressing Start will RESET the machine and place it into IDLE. The Start button is disabled when
in Operator control mode. Pressing START when the machine is in IDLE places it into RUNNING.
Stop
When in Program control mode, pressing Stop brings the machine to a controlled stop. The machine must be stopped before
you can switch to the other mode.
Clear Faults
The Clear Faults button attempts to clear faults on all axes. The condition that caused the fault must be corrected, otherwise
the machine will remain in ABORTED.
IMPORTANT Start and Stop buttons on your PanelView Plus terminal do not replace a hardwired start/stop control circuit for safety
purposes. Your system must also include an emergency start/stop control circuit.
