General Safety

The users must have Read and Understood, but most of all must Respect the directives described in this manual.

All people coming into contact with the machine on which the numerical control is installed, whatever their function or whatever state the machine is in (assembly, disassembly, start-up, production, maintenance, repairs) must have read and understood the requirements concerning the security and the entirety of the directives of operation described in the manuals delivered with the machine.

The operator must be properly trained to work 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.

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 neighborhood of magnetic equipment such as transformers, motors or devices which generate interference (welding machines, etc.)

ModEva Pac User Manual

ModEva with Windows Operating System

The CYBELEC ModEva’s equipped with Windows have been installed at the factory with a configuration especially made for the numerical control.

This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the ModEva, 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 control.

As Windows is a very open system, it is advised not to modify the Windows installation or to install other programs. You risk disturbing the functioning of the numerical control.

If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.

Remember that the ModEva is equipped with USB ports and that it is very easy or even tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming from the Internet or specialized magazines.

CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if the original configuration has been modified.

We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with viruses and utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from the outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.

We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

ModEva Pac User Manual

Getting started with ModEva Pac

Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the ModEva (configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the ModEva that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.

Touchscreens are pressure sensitive.

Do not press down hard on the screen.

Pressing hard on the screen will damage the display. Such damage is not covered by manufacturer warranty!

Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make sure that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the finger tips as they may also damage the screen.

Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen is very reactive and it is pleasant to use.

Screen Cleaning Turn off the ModEva to clean its screen. Use only a damp and smooth cloth with soap or a neutral detergent.

NEVER use solvent, petrol, benzene, alcohols, etc.
