Since the graphic drawing is done when coordinate value is renewed
during automatic operation, etc., it is necessary to start the program by
automatic operation. To execute drawing without moving the machine,
therefore, enter the machine lock state.
Pressing the
[REVIEW] soft key on the graphic screen deletes tool paths
on it. Setting the graphic parameter as AUTO ERASE (A) = 1 specifies
that when automatic operation is started at reset, program execution
begins after the previous drawing is erased automatically (AUTO ERASE
= 1).
When necessary to display a part of a program, search the starting block
to be drawn by the sequence number search, and set the sequence number
of the end block to the PROGRAM STOP N= of the graphic parameter
before starting the program under cycle operation mode.
The tool path is shown with a dashed line (
) for rapid traverse and
with a solid line (
) for cutting feed.
The displayed drawing is indicated with coordinates in a work coordinate
system.
The machine zero point is indicated with mark.
Even if the screen is switched to a non–drawing screen, drawing
continues. When the drawing screen is displayed again, the entire
drawing appears (no parts are missing).
In case the feed rate is considerably high, drawing may not be executed
correctly, decrease the speed by dry–run, etc. to execute drawing.
After a graphic parameter is changed, the
[REVIEW] soft key must be
pressed to initialize the graphic screen. Otherwise, the change to the
graphic parameter is not reflected correctly.
The coordinate axis names are fixed to X or Z.
If the WORK and DIAMETER graphic parameters are not set correctly,
the drawing cannot be magnified. To reduce a drawing, specify a negative
value for the SCALE graphic parameter.
