2.2.2 Description of the various operating modes
Automatic mode
It is used to execute part-programs in automatic or single-block mode.
While executing a part-program, any other operating mode may also be accessed
(except "MANUAL" and "MDI") without interrupting the execution of the program. This
way, a program may be edited while another one is running (background editing). The
running program cannot be edited.
Manual (jog) mode
It is used to control the machine movements manually using the keys of the operator
panel, perform a home search, set the part zero, etc.
Editing - simulation mode
It is used for editing and simulating part-programs even while running another part-
program.
MDI mode
It is used for editing and executing blocks in ISO code or in high-level language.
User tables
It is used for manipulating the CNC tables regarding part-programs (zero offsets,
fixtures and arithmetic parameters).
Tool and magazine table
It is used to edit CNC tables regarding the tools and the tool magazine.
Utilities mode
It is used to handle CNC part-programs (copy, delete, rename, etc.).
A password may also be set to access the various operating modes.
Likewise, it offers the possibility to do a backup or a restore of the desired part of the
disk.
