Reset Operations
If you are using a dual-processing system, refer to page 30-6 for details
about reset operations.
Block Reset
Use the block reset feature to force the control to skip the block execution.
To use the block reset function, program execution must be stopped. If
program execution stops before the control has completely finished the
block execution, a block reset aborts any portion of that block that has not
been executed. If program execution stops after the complete block
execution (as in the case of single block execution or a M00 etc.), the
control aborts the execution of the entire following block.
Press
[RESET]
key on the operator panel to perform a block reset.
Control Reset
You can return the control to the default parameters, clear any
programming errors, and cancel any MDI commands by executing a
control reset. After you execute a control reset, any active program resets
to the first block; any programmed offsets or rotations of the coordinate
systems reset to default, and any MDI command is discarded. All of the
operating parameters return to the standard AMP-assigned values,
including any AMP-assigned G-codes active at power-up (except
Inch/Metric which remains in its last programmed state at control reset).
Press the
[RESET]
key on the operator panel while holding down the
[SHIFT]
key to execute a control reset.
The 9/Series control is equipped to evaluate simple mathematical
expressions during the course of operation or programming.
To use the calculator function, line 2 of the screen must be blank. There
can be no prompt on the input line of the screen when you attempt to do
calculations. This completely disables any calculation operation when in
MDI mode. If you attempt to enter the calculator function while another
prompt is active, the control generates the error message “CANNOT
CALCULATE - PROMPT PRESENT.”
Use the calculator function as follows:
1. Press the
[CALC]
key on the operator panel. The “CALC:” prompt
appears on the input line of the screen (line 2).
2. Enter a mathematical equation on the input line by pressing the
desired keys on the operator panel.
3. Press the
[TRANSMIT]
key to evaluate the expression. The answer to
the expression is displayed on the input line.
