Power-on Time/After Reset -- indicates the total accumulated time that

the control has been ON. This value is saved in backup memory each time

the control is powered off, so it is restored at its previous value each time

the control is turned ON. Use this field with “Run Time” to estimate the

utilization ratio of the machine. The value for this field is cleared to zero

when the “Run Time” field is cleared to zero; it cannot be changed

independently.

Cycle Time -- indicates the elapsed execution time for each individual part

program. Cycle time begins counting when the cycle-start button is

pressed and ends when an M02 reset or M30 is encountered. To reset this

field to zero, use one of three methods:

press the cycle-start button to initiate program execution

turn off the control power

follow these steps:

1.

Press the

{ED PRT INFO}

softkey if you have either operator-level or

supervisor-level access.

2.

Press the up or down cursor keys to move to this field or the next

field without changing the current value.

3.

Enter a Y at the prompt for this field.

4.

Press

[TRANSMIT]

to clear the current value.

Workpieces Cut/After Reset -- indicates the total number of part

programs executed to completion by the control since the last time “Run

Time” was reset. This counter is incremented by one each time the control

encounters an M02, M30 or an M99 in a main part program (M99 in a

subprogram does not increment this counter, though M02 or M30 does).

The value for this field is cleared to zero when the “Run Time” field is

cleared to zero; it cannot be changed independently.

Lot Size -- is the number of times you need to execute this particular part

program. To enter a new number:

1.

Press the

{ED PRT INFO}

softkey if you have either operator-level or

supervisor-level access.

2.

Press the up or down cursor keys to move to this field or the next

field without changing the current value.

3.

Enter a numeric value at the prompt for this field.

4.

Press

[TRANSMIT]

to change the current value.
