Tangent Angle
Sets the degree of the tangent angle for motion control. Segments within a part that
intersect at angles greater than the selected tangent angle decelerate to zero or to the
minimum corner speed. Segments within a part that intersect at angles less than or equal
to the selected tangent angle, do not decelerate unless the next segment is a speed-limited
arc.
Password
Allows the user to enter a new password for machine setups. Numbers or letters can be
used.
Special Password
Allows the user to enter a new password for special setups. Numbers or letters can be
used.
Station Configuration Password
Allows the user to enter a new password for Station Configuration setups. Numbers or
letters can be used.
Auto Update Max Consumable Life
If this feature is enabled, it tracks the consumable life values beyond the user-defined set
point and assigns that maximum value as the new set point. If this feature is disabled, the
user-defined set point for maximum consumable life is not updated.
Machine Position Resets
If this setting is enabled, it resets the absolute machine position when the Zero Positions
soft key is pressed. Only the current incremental motion (part) position is reset to zero.
Position information based on homing is not lost.
Arc Speed Limit Check
Allows the user to turn off the Speed Limit Check that is performed by SoftMotion for
arcs larger than 10”. This compensates for abrupt motion commands caused by non-
tangent line arc segments and smoothes out motion.
HD3070 Auto Gas
When enabled, this setting allows the CNC to communicate with the auto gas console for
the HD3070 and gives access to the related setup parameters.
Front Panel
Defines the use of an optional 12-station or 6-station operator console.
Save Setups
Press the Save Setups button to save the current CNC setting to the floppy disk or hard
drive. A window displays to select the drive and enter a file name.
