Reading This Manual
To make this manual easier to understand, we included these explanations
of terms and symbols:
All explanations, illustrations, and charts presented are based on
standard CNC functions. Operationscan differ from the basic
information provided in this manual depending on the configuration of
your grinder machine controlled by the CNC. For details, see the
manuals prepared and supplied by your system installer.
You can purchase some of the softkey functions and features as options
on the 9/Series control. This manual assumes you have all of the
optional features.
Explanations and illustrations assume a 2-axes cylindrical grinder
configuration. This means the movement of the grinding wheel on a
rotating part or the movement of the grinding wheel on the fixed dresser.
Explanations and illustrations were not specifically written for an angled
wheel cylindrical grinder though most will apply to the cylindrical
grinder configuration.
The control accepts several different alphabetic characters for
expressing numerically controlled axes. This manual uses Z and X for
the first and second axes on the basic coordinate system. The integrand
name for these axes is K and I respectively . Cylindrical angled wheel
grinders should also assume Z (real) and X (virtual) axes for the first
and second axis on the basic coordinate system with W (real) however,
being the actual physical wheel axis.
The term AMP is an abbreviation for Adjustable Machine Parameters.
These parameters are used to match the control to a specific machine.
AMP configuration is usually done by your system installer.
Program examples are given as radius values. Assume the control is in
radius programming mode unless stated otherwise.
Names between the [ ] symbols are keys
Names between the { } symbols are softkeys
Names between the < > symbols are switches and buttons
found on the operator panel.
found below the CRT.
found on the
standard MTB panel.
The term PAL is an abbreviation for Programmable Application Logic.
This is a ladder logic program that processes signals between the CNC
and the grinder. It is usually programmed by your system installer.

Softkeys
You access the various software features and functions of the control
through softkeys. Softkeys are the row of 7 keys located at the bottom of
the CRT as shown in Figure 2.3. They let you move through the control’s
software. The control displays the function of each softkey on the CRT
directly above the softkey. In this manual, softkey names appear between
the { } symbols.

Softkeys
11978-I
In this manual, we often describe softkeys as being on a certain level, e.g.,
softkey level 3. We use the level of the softkey to determine the location
or necessary path to reach that particular softkey. For example, to get to a
softkey on level 3, you must press a specific softkey on level 1, followed
by a specific softkey on level 2. For a listing of all of the softkeys and
their respective levels, see appendix A.
Softkey level 1 is the initial softkey level the control displays at power-up.
Softkey level 1 always remains the same, and all other levels are
referenced from softkey level 1.
The softkeys on opposite ends of the softkey row have a specific use that
remains standard throughout the different softkey levels. On the left is the
exit softkey displayed with the up arrow {
continue softkey displayed with the right arrow {
↑}, and on the right is the
→}.
2-5
Chapter 2
Operating the Control
Use the exit softkey {↑} (on the far left) to regress softkey levels. For
example, if you are currently on softkey level 3 and you press the exit
softkey, the softkeys change to the softkeys previously displayed on
softkey level 2. When you press the exit softkey while holding down the
[SHIFT] key, the softkey display returns to softkey level 1 regardless of the
current softkey level.
When more than 5 softkey functions are available on the same level, the
control activates the continue {
→} softkey at the far right of the softkey
area. When you press the continue softkey, the softkey functions change to
the next set of softkeys available on that level.
Important: When the number of softkey functions on that level does not
exceed 5, the continue softkey is not available.
For example:

When you reach softkey level 1, the above set of softkeys appears. Press
the continue softkey {

softkey level 1.

On softkey level 1, the control does not display the exit softkey since the
softkeys are already on softkey level 1.
We explain the softkey functions for level 1 and 2 in appendix A, and level
3 or higher in the sections that apply to their specific operations.
To use a softkey function, press the plain, unmarked button directly below
the description of the softkey function.
You can purchase some of the softkey functions as optional features. This
manual assumes that you purchased all available optional features for your
machine. If you did not purchase an option, the softkey is blank.

Some features accessed through a softkey can be password protected.
When a feature is password protected, the softkey that accesses that feature
is no longer displayed.

Figure 2.4 shows the MTB panel. Table 2.B lists the selections on this
panel. Your system may contain optional or custom MTB panels different
than the one shown below. See the documentation prepared by your
system installer for details.
We show selection names on the MTB panel between the < > symbols
when referred to in this manual. Most selections on the MTB panel are
configured by your system installer’s PAL program. This manual assumes
that PAL has been written as intended for normal operation. If a selection
does not work the way it is described i n this manual, see documentation
