2.3.3 ABS (Absolute Coordinate)

Pressing 【ABS.】to enter into absolute coordinate screen. Beside the absolute coordinate

screen are sub-screens for【REL.】, and【MAC.】.

Figure 2.3-9 Absolute Coordinate Screen

Absolute coordinate is the program coordinate, which is [present value – tool offset =

program value]. This will display the present executing position of each axis minus each
axis offset.

2.3.4 REL (Relative Coordinate)

Pressing 【 REL.】 to enter into the relative coordinate screen. Beside the relative

coordinate screen are sub-screens for【ABS.】and【MAC.】.

Figure 2.3-10 Relative Coordinate Screen

The relative coordinate system means the distance between the present position and any

point that is decided by users. So users can set the relative coordinate value to zero

anytime, or enter any non-zero value directly.

If want to reset the coordinate value and to let X coordinate to 100.00, Y coordinate to

200.000 and Z coordinate to 300.000, only need to set X100, Y200, Z300. Then, pressing

<> to reset the coordinate value immediately.

If want to set the 3 axes relative coordinate values to zero separately or at the same time,
only need to press the corresponding sub-function buttons 【CLR. X】, 【CLR. Y】, 【CLR.
Z】, and【CLR. All】to execute the corresponding clean.

coordinate screen are sub-screens for【ABS.】and【REL.】.

Figure 2.3-11 Machine Coordinate Screen

Machine coordinate is the distance between the present position corresponding to the

reference point. Each machine has its own reference point. For safety concern, please
looking for the reference point whenever reboot machine before executing work.

current opened controller. At this time, use the sub-function button at the right side and the

entering rows at the bottom of the screen to do the program editing.

1. GOTO: Pressing【GOTO】function button at the right side to key-in “ROW’ number of

the program in the dialog box. Pressing【】to move the cursor to the assigned row

orientation (like Figure 2.5-2).

2. LDEL (Row Delete)：Deleting a row of program codes at the cursor position.

3. MARK: Pressing【MARK】at the right side of the screen to move the cursor to the

wanted marking row’s starting/ending point. Moving the cursor to the starting/ending

position of the wanted marking row and pressing the【MARK】function key again to

mark the designated marking rows (like Figure 2.5-3).

4. UNMARK：Unmarking previous marking.

5. COPY：Copying the marked program in local range.

6. CUT：Cutting down the marked program in local range.

7. PASTE: Pasting on the program codes that are copied or cut at previous time.

【RS232 SETTING】

This screen provides setting of RS232. The setting at each side of the RS232 transmitting
must be correct and the same in order to transmit (or so call DNC function) correctly.
Users are able to modify the transmitting protocol for RS232 on this screen.

2.4.6 DNC Function

DNC function is a very useful function for CAD/CAM system users, especially the

controller is the controller used only (not the controller of PC BASED). Since the storage

memory capacity is not very big, so not possible to download all the programs at once.

This implies that it is very important for the DNC function to do its function while

transmitting. Since DNC program is doing its function while transmitting, so the controller

can’t edit it, neither using program calling nor using jump commanding.

In order to solve the above problems for users, Pou Yuen has installed high capacity hard

drive. Therefore, users can transmit files into the hard drive and then execute those files

(this method is called the internal DNC method.) The DNC function of executing its

functions while transmitting is the other DNC method (this method is called the external
DNC method.)

The above two methods are very convenience to use. The procedure is as below:

a. To set Controller and external PC as RS232 modal and to set the communication

protocol the same.

b. To switch to EDIT mode.

c. To press function button【COMM.】in order to enable file windows and to set file

name as RS232.

d. To switch to AUTO mode.

e. To press “CYCLE START” button on OP Panel in order to transmit CNC waiting

program.

f. To enable external PC to do RS232 file transmitting.

g. To execute machine work automatically.

Everytime when the part program uses one tool offset number, the absolute coordinate will

change according to the tool offset value. The value is [absolute coordinate value =
machine coordinate value – external work shift - G54~G59 shift–（tool geometry offset
value + tool wear offset value）].

Users are able to key-in the modified value directly under the conditions of MDI mode and

CNC ready. But, users are able to use “MXxx” and “MZzz” to set the offset value for G_X

and G_Z. The calculation method is as following:

Offset value = Machine coordinate value – external w o rk shi ft - G54~G59 shift – key-in value.

2.5.3 W. SHIFT (Work Coordinate Shift)

Pressing 【W. SHIFT】 button to enter into the setting screen of the work shift function.

Figure 2.5-6 Setting WORK SHIFT Screen

Two key-in value methods under MDI mode. The description is as below:

Method 1: Key-in the shift amount for each axis directly, key-in “X20. Z20.” first. Then,

pressing 【ENTER】 to update the new entry value into the shift value. So shift

value = entry value.

Method 2: Key-in the estimating value. Please key-in “MXxx MZzz” first and then pressing

【ENTER】 to update the new entry value into the estimating value column. So

estimating value = entry value.

The calculation of shift value is “Shift value = machine coordinate value – entry value -

G54~G59 shift – (wear offset value + geometry offset value).”

 NOTE

※ Each parameter content will be different due to different working methods.
※ When a certain working part has set a geometry parameter, changeable types of

working methods of this procedure will be limited into the same working method. Using

“grooving on outer surfaces” as an example. Selecting “Procedure 1” as the “grooving

on outer surfaces” working method and setting the geometry variable.At this time, if

moving the highlighter to the working method selection, users can only choose

“Grooving on Outer Surfaces”, “Grooving on Inter Surfaces” and “Grooving on End

Faces”. Please add a new procedure if want to change the working method. Using the

same example for other three main types working methods.

※ Pattern cutting line must be from right to left and cannot be intersect with each other.

The max. line sections are 10.

※ Thread lathe-cutting is not able to do facing-thread and variable-lead thread.
※ Dwell time of tapping cutting parameter of drilling lathe-cutting cannot be zero.

【ALARM】

Alarm message will occur when there is any problem in system running. This will make the

system stop running and also will display the alarm message on the screen. When the

problem is solved, must press <RESET> in order to release the situation.

【WARN】

Warning message is decided by matching with the design of the MLC LADDER. Example

is when the safety door is not closed completely, LADDER program will send out “DOOR

NOT CLOSE” message. Or, when the Coolant Supply is broken, then the message

“COOLANT LAW” message will be sent out.

So when the alarm message occurs, please check the conditions of machine and

peripheral equipments according to the LADDER program. The system will stop running

when the system sends out the warning message and the warning message will be

displayed on the screen. When the problem is solved, must press <RESET> to release the

warning.

【HISMSG】

Able to display the version and program debug message after entering into the message

screen. Message displaying will not disconnect the working procedure, but it displays the
current running condition of the system.
