LOCATION OF COMPONENTS: Major components of the Controller
The description of these components is as following:
1. NUMERIC KEYS (0-9)
Numeric keys are used for entering the numeric values for manual limits in Jog screen
and entering values in Setup screen. These are also used to select the modes.
2. NAVIGATION KEYS PANEL (UP, DOWN, RIGHT, LEFT)
In Setup screen, these keys are used to navigate the cursor. However, in the home
screen, these keys are used to alter the speed and feed value. These keys are used
to jog the motor1 and motor2 in jog menu.
3. OK & Esc
OK: Press OK to enter in Setup screen from Home screen. In Setup screen, pressing
this key saves the modified values in EEPROM.
Esc: Press Esc to exit out of Setup screen. Press Esc key in home screen to enter in
jog screen.
4. LCD DISPLAY (20x4)
This LCD shows all the information related to MODES, Home and other screens.
5. LEDs
RED LED glows on homing and any activity. GREEN LED indicates long key press.

OPERATING SURFACE GRINDING CONTROLLER
Home Screen:
When the power is applied to the board, a splash screen appears, after that the Home
screen appears. The user can change the modes by pressing the respective numeric
key. Stop or Continuous can be set along with mode by pressing key4. Speed can be
adjusted by using up-down navigation keys and feed can be adjusted using left- right
navigation keys.
The above specified three terms are described in the subsequent section.
NOTE: There is a homing feature available on key 8. If user presses key 8 on the
home screen, the motor moves to respective home position and searches for home
sensor input. The home speed can be adjusted in Set up screen for respective mode.
NOTE: If Emergency input is received anytime, the motion is halted and current
operation (even program run mode) is aborted. A message of emergency is displayed.
Press any key and the control will return to HOME screen.
MODES:
There are three modes that surface grinding controller supports. These are called as
mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3 respectively. However, mode can also be set as
continuous (C) or Stop (S).
Continuous (C): If continuous is set, the motor continues to rotate and repeats the
process after homing until the start key is pressed to stop the motors.
Stop (S): If stop is set, the motors stop after homing and rotate when the start key is
pressed to commence the motion.
