PROGRAMMING DATA REQUIREMENTS, CONT’D.
SET % SPEED, FRACTION OF SET SPEED: Type 6, Quadrant 4
Selecting Type 6-4 allows the speed to change to a fraction of the set speed. Display will read “Speed %”,
and data entry is accepted from 1 to 99. Entering 0 or just return will make the speed 100%, which is the
same as set speed.
When the program reaches a Type 6-3 segment while running, the speed will change to the percent
entered, and continue at this setting until there is a later Type 6-3 segment which changes it to another %
setting or back to 100%.
NOTE: If Type 6-3 has been set for HI (rapid traverse) then this setting will cut down the HI speed to the
same %.
Settings below 10 % are not recommended.
SETTING MEASUREMENT UNITS: METRIC OR INCHES
The machine is factory set in inch or metric units before shipping, and is not meant to be switched between
the two systems on a regular basis. However if the machine happens to be set in a unit system not wanted
by the user, the setting can be changed to suit.
To set the machine for programming in mm or inches:
First with power on, push the RESET button on the machine. Next, on the keypad of the handheld terminal,
note the blank “Shift” key. (Refer to Hand Held Pendant diagram if necessary, page 34).
Press the Shift Key, then “9”, and the display should read: “English/metric, 0/1”
Then Push 1 to select metric dimensions, 0 to select inches. Any shapes in the machine should be
reprogrammed; the machine will not convert numbers already entered.
