Important: This manual assumes that the rotary or push-button MTB
panel is being used and standard PAL to run that MTB panel has been
installed. For applications that use a custom MTB panel or that do not use
standard PAL to run the MTB panel, refer to documentation prepared by
your system installer.
To go into the manual mode, select MANUAL under
<MODE SELECT>
. If
you are not equipped with a
<MODE SELECT>
button or switch, press the
{FRONT PANEL}
softkey followed by the left/right arrow key to select the
mode.
When you select the manual mode, both the axis position data and the part
program currently active are displayed in the data display area if the
normal display is used for softkey level 1.
Press
<CYCLE STOP>
to abort manual operations. The system installer has
the option, however, to designate some other switch to abort manual
operations in the PAL program. See documentation provided by your
system installer for details.
