Setting up the pallet file with the entry form
Pallet operation with tool- or workpiece-oriented machining is divided
into three levels:
 Pallet level PAL
 Fixture level FIX
 Workpiece level PGM
You can switch to a detail view in each level. Set the machining
method and the statuses for the pallet, fixture and workpiece in the
standard view. If you are editing an existing pallet file, the updated
entries are displayed. Use the detail view for setting up the pallet file.
The various levels of the entry form can be reached with the
appropriate soft keys. The current level is highlighted in the status line
of the entry form. When you switch to table view with the screen
layout button, the cursor is placed in the same level as it was in the
form view.
Set up the pallet file according to the machine
configuration. If you only have one fixture with multiple
workpieces, then defining one fixture FIX with the
workpieces PGM is sufficient. However, if one pallet
contains several fixtures, or if a fixture is machined from
more than one side, you must define the pallet PAL with
the corresponding fixture levels FIX.
Use the screen layout button to switch between table
view and form view.
Graphic support for form entry is not yet available.
