NOTE
6 When the manual handle feed or incremental feed mode is
selected while the Power Mate is operating in the automatic
operation mode (MEM, RMT or MDI), the automatic
operation stops, the STL signal turns to “0”, the SPL signal
simultaneously turns to “1”, and the Power Mate enters the
manual handle feed or incremental feed mode. Under these
conditions, manual handle feed or incremental feed by axis
direction select signal is permitted. Since the automatic
operation mode (MEM, RMT or MDI) command is held,
operation can be restarted by the cycle start signal and by
selecting the automatic operation mode (MEM, RMT or
MDI). However, if operation was stopped by switching to the
manual handle feed or incremental feed mode during
manual data input or during automatic operation (MEM,
RMT or MDI), it can be restarted only by reactivating the
mode in use before the operation was stopped (Fig. 6.2 (c)).
