Workpieces Cut/Overall -- indicates the total number of part programs

executed to completion by the control. Use this field to determine the need

for periodic checkups or as a statement of warranty. This counter is

counter, though M02 or M30 does). To clear this field to zero:

1.

Press the

{ED PRT INFO}

softkey, provided that you have

supervisor-level access.

{ED PRT INFO}

softkey if you have either operator-level or

supervisor-level access.
