SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The operator must be trained for working with the
machine on which the numerical control is installed.
Improper use of the numerical control can cause
heavy damage on equipment and/or injuries to
people.
Modification of machine parameters can cause
important material damage or lead to irregular
product quality.
The rear panel may only be removed by a qualified
technician (danger of electrocution).
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive
humidity so as to avoid any risk of electrocution and
any deterioration of the equipment.
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected
from the mains power before carrying out any
cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or
ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical control, call a
technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun
rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the
neighbourhood of magnetic equipment such as
transformers, motors or devices which generate
interference (welding machines, etc.)
Replace fan filters at regular intervals so as to avoid
overheating.

SAFETY, COPYRIGHT & LICENSE AGREEMENT
Please consult the safety instructions, copyright and license agreement on the
first pages of the manual.
NUMERICAL CONTROL WITH WINDOWS OPERATING
SYSTEM
The CYBELEC NCs equipped with Windows have been installed in the
factory with a configuration especially realised for the numerical control
(see technical information).
This configura tion ensures that a minimum of files a re present on the NC,
offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This
configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole
guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical cont rol.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised to not modify the Windows
installation nor to install other programs. You risk to disturb the functioning
of the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the NC is equipped with a floppy reader and USB ports and
that it is very easy or even tempting to install external software, utilities or
games coming from specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of
the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if
the original configura tion has been modified.
We also re mind you that the Windows environment is infested with virus and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or soft ware coming from
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

Remark: In this manual, it is assumed that the Numerical Control has
an operational configuration (i.e. machine parameters and
tools are programmed).

QUICK START
This chapter describes, by means of some simple examples, diverse ways of
using your Numerical Control.
L-alpha Programming.
This method is the fastest and the most currently used in the worksho p
when the operator has to create himself a product from a paper
drawing.
Direct Pr ogramming.
This type of programming is often used for simple products or by
operators having worked on convent i onal pressbrakes without
numerical controls.
This page is very close to what an operator has to do, since he has on
one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the
programming of his product.
We assume in this chapter that all the necessary tools have already been
programmed as well as the machine parameters.
Access levels We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1.
Should this not be the case, see chapter Protection of the Access Levels
further in this manual.
Reminder:
You will find the correspondence between the keys of the NC and those of a
PC keyboard in the 2D Reference Manual under External keyboard.
These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method
recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the
functioning of the software.
For additional information, please consult the DNC 15 2D Reference Manual
which each contains a table of contents and a detailed index facilitating the
search for information.
LEAVING THE SOFTWARE
It is possible at any time to quit the task after having memorized the current
state. However it is important to leave the software in the correct way by
calling up the MENU page
The same procedure can be used on the PC software, or press the
and pressing t he QUIT key.

This chapter describes, by means of a concrete example, how to create a
product by using the "L-alpha" method (length-angle).
This method is fast and easy and allows to display the product in 2D, which
usually is sufficient when pro ducts are being programmed in the workshop.
The product being used as an example is composed of 2 sections (profiles),
but the procedure is identical for one or several sections.
The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be
made first, so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be
used.
To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.
