With this step switch you can modify the feed rate in manual and automatic mode between 0% and 125%. A switchover between the speed
keys "0", "Feed step switch" and "100" is always possible within the operating modes.
Rapid traverse/Creep feed 0%: The rapid traverse or the creep feed rate is set to 0% for all operating modes (manual, automatic or

MDI mode), which leads to an immediate stop of the selected axes (depending on the brake reaction of the drives). No more positioning
command is carried out. For example, the execution of started NC block programs with traversing instructions is stopped until the key "100"
or the key "Feed step switch" (observe switch position) is pressed.
Feed step switch: The rapid traverse or the creep feed rate can be set from 0% to 125%, according to the feed step switch position, for
all operating modes (manual, automatic or MDI mode). The step switch has a multiple function. In position "0%" the axes stop; in position
"100%" the axes move at the defined rapid traverse or creep feed rate. From position 100% to 125% you can raise the defined speed in
percent up to a maximum of 125%.
Rapid traverse/Creep feed 100%: The rapid traverse or the creep feed rate is set to 100% for all operating modes (manual, automatic
100
or MDI mode).

The control takes three different types of position for each axis into account.
The reference points of the axes are already defined from the machine manufacturer. The absolute and relative positions can be
set by the machine operator (SET) according to requirements. They can be moved (MOVE) or set (SET) at another position for
each single axis, i.e. each preselected axis, or for several axes (ALL), i.e. the axes defined in the EEPROM in the defined succession.
The reference points can only be moved.
SET
MOVE
With this key you can move single or several axes to the relative zero, absolute zero or reference point .
SET
With this key you can set the relative or absolute zero for single or several axes.

The relative position can be automatically set or moved in the operating mode HAND either for each single axis or for several axes. For the setting or
the motion of several axes, the axes and the succession are defined in the EEPROM. You can move a relative position only after it has been set.
With NC STOP, the relative position is set by the control. Previous relative positions were deleted.

Absolute zero point
The absolute zero can be automatically set or moved in the operating mode HAND either for each single axis or for several axes. For the setting or
the motion of several axes, the axes and the succession are defined in the EEPROM. The setting of the absolute zero point works like SETPOS = 0 (all
axes).
Procedure "Set or Move" for one axis or for all defined axes:
With the NC-Start key a program is started in automatic mode. For this purpose, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
The axes must be referenced
A program has been loaded
The operating mode "AUTOMATIC" is selected
With the NC-Stop key you stop the automatic execution of a program and simultaneously the relative position of all axes were stored. The
stop becomes active at the end of the current program line. This state is signaled by the LED which is constantly on. At the same time the
LED of the NC-START key flashes, which allows to continue the program from the stopped point. If you move one or more axes after actuating
the key NC STOP in manual mode, the position on NC STOP can be reached again with the key REPOS.
With change of the automatic operating mode, the program can be continued with NC Start.
The NC-RESET key terminates the automatic processing of a program. It is no more possible to continue the processing of the program from
the stopped point. For the control unit, the program has been definitely terminated. You can restart the program by NC-START.
This key switches between rapid traverse and creep feed rate in the set-up and standard mode. The appertaining speed values for set-up or
standard mode are filed in the EEPROM of the control unit: after the control unit has run up, the set-up mode (parameter set 2) is active
with its EEPROM parameters Set up feed rate (creep feed) and Set up rapid traverse. After a search for reference, the set-up mode is
left and the standard mode becomes active. In the standard mode, the following EEPROM parameters are available: Manual feed rate
(creep feed) and Manual rapid traverse. The rapid traverse is indicated by the LED which comes on.
With the trevel key "+" you can move a preselected axis in the positive direction in the manual mode.
+
Procedure:
Step mode due to the preselected feed or fixed path key.
Constant traveling, if no feed or fixed path key is activated.
With the travel key "-" you can move a preselected axis in the negative direction in the manual mode.

The key SINGLE BLOCK processes an automatic program block by block. After having operated the key, a stop is carried out at the following points:
In the expert mode after each positioning and I/O command of the program
In the NC mode at block end of each NC program line. If the residual path display is activated in the EEPROM, the residual path is displayed to the block end.
The automatic program can be further processed in single block by the NC-START key. If the single block is deactivated, the processing is continued to the end of the
automatic program.
The key OPTIONAL STOP stops the processing of a G&M code program. The G&M code automatic program can be processed to the next M01 function by the NC-START
key. If the function OPTIONAL STOP is deactivated, the processing is continued to the end of the automatic program.
With this key (REPOS) the interruption position of an automatic program can be approached again. In this case all individual movements which can be executed in
manual mode are summed up to a one travel distance. This travel distances are moved back to the interruption position in inverse order.
Proceeding:
>>
Program abort in the operating mode automatic by actuating the key NC stop. Change of operating mode to manual mode.
>>
Travel in manual mode by pre-selection of the desired axis and acknowledging the traverse keys "+" or "-" (RePos LED is blinking).
Actuating the key REPOS: Re-approaching of the interruption position in inverse order of the individual travel distances.
>>
Change of operating modes to the automatic mode. Actuating the NC start key: the automatic program is continued from the interruption position on.

With this key you can carry out a defined linear or rotational feed. The feed value is stored in the file
"Parametersettings.ini" and can be changed in the program SYSCONFIG. In order to carry out a feed, activate the
fixed path key and an axis. Now you can cover the entered feed value via a jog direction key (+/-)
By selecting the handwheel key, you can carry out a motion of the axis via handwheel in the desired resolution
(handwheel increment), having first preselected the axis and operated the feed key. This is only possible in the
operating mode HAND.
These keys allow a movement in the dimensions 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm or inch. The activation of a feed key is
confirmed by a light emitting diode. By selecting another feed key, the feed selected before becomes inactive. This
is only possible in the operating mode HAND.

The manual travel keys consist of the axis keys A, B, C, X, Y and Z. The preselection of the required axis takes place by operating the corresponding
key and is indicated by a light emitting diode (diode comes on). You can deactivate an axis by operating the key once again (light emitting diode
goes off). You can move an axis by preselecting it and operating a travel key. The axis moves as long as the jogging key is pressed.
C
If a limit switch is approached when moving an axis, the corresponding axis drive stops immediately. The LED of the axis selection key and the
LED of the jog direction key, by which the limit switch has been approached last, flash. This indicates that you can depart the limit switch by the
jog direction key which is not flashing. Once the limit switch is free again, both light emitting diodes go off.
Z
If an axis is preselected, which is not defined in the EEPROM of the control unit, the LED of the selected axis flashes and an error message is
displayed, which disappears after correct axis preselection.

Edit magazine assignment table (TT-EDIT)
The magazine assignment table contains the assignation of
the T-number and of the tool (tool designation) to a
magazine location and the reference to a duplo tool.
The magazine assignment tool can be accessed via the
position menu, F4 „TL EDIT“, F3 „TT-EDIT“. Here, an
already present magazine assignment table can be edited
or a new one can be created.
The T-number is the tool number used in the G&M
code program. A tool can have different T-numbers in
different magazine assignments.
The number of the duplo tool only refers to a duplo
tool with the same radius, which is used if the status
of the selected tool does not permit that the tool is
used (Tool disabled). The duplo tool must be entered in the same magazine assignment table and have the same
type of tool.
Tool size: hte value of the size means the number of the covered half places. (That means that one tool of the size
1 covers 2 half places, exactely one place, tool of the size 2 towers above each side a half place.)

Edit tool data (TL-EDIT)
The tool data blocks (data for a tool) are stored in
individual files. Thanks to this, individual tools can be used
on various tool lists (combination of different tools for one
application), without producing double definitions. The
menu for the tool data entry is selected via the basic menu
of the tool management or via the tool magazine
management, it is created and operated just like a
conventional menu.
For every tool type an individual menu is available.
Therefore a representation of the type can be visualised
graphically. In the message line the tool number and the
WZ designation are displayed to facilitated a better
orientation.
When selecting the tool data input, a pop-up menu appears with the choice of the tool types. After selecting the tool

Radius, allowance and wear are added up by the control and considered correspondingly during the conversion of

In case of tools of the type milling cutter the total radius in the tool management and the total radius valid at the
moment of the conversion are compared after changing the tool. If the changed tool is not within the tolerance
range given for the radius, the machining process is aborted with an error message. This happens in the following
cases: the radius of the duplo tool diverges inadmissibly from the radius of the original tool; the degree of tool wear
is inadmissibly high.

After the tool life has expired, the status of the tool life is set to „0“-blocked- in the next tool change and the tool is
not changed again. If a duplo tool is available, this will be used automatically.
In the magazine configuration the option „Usage of the tool beyond tool life limit“ can be switched on. Then the
continuation of machining process is offered, if no duplo tool exists which is released.
To reactivate the blocked tool, the status of the tool life must be set to „1“-released- and the remaining tool life is
