Operation Manual 7-23
Spindle Control
If you are using a milling machine that has an electronic variable-speed spindle, MILLPWR
will soon be able to control the spindle for you.
With the spindle control enabled, MILLPWR will apply the direction and speed parameters
you enter into the "Set Tool” step of a program. Depending on the spindle's motor, you may
be able to control the spindle's speed and direction, or just the direction.
If the spindle control is disabled, the settings you program in "Set Tool" will be displayed
in an Operator Intervention Message (OIM) when you run the program. You will be prompt-
ed to set the speed and direction manually.
Error Log
MILLPWR includes a built-in error log that will record system assertion failures. If an assertion
failure is detected, MILLPWR will automatically record the date, along with a brief description
of the failure.
Messages can be cleared by pressing the CLEAR key, then pressing YES to proceed or NO to
cancel. It’s best to let messages accumulate to establish a history.
To save these records for future reference, place a floppy disk into the disk drive and press the
SAVE FLOPPY softkey.
