Before machining is started, the automatic running check can be
executed. It checks whether the created program can operate the machine
as desired. This check can be accomplished by running the machine
actually or viewing the position display change without running the
machine.
The change of the position display can be monitored without moving the
machine.
When all--axis machine lock signal MLK, or each--axis machine lock
signals MLK1 to MLK8 are set to 1, output pulses (move commands) to
the servo motors are stopped in manual or automatic operation. The
commands are distributed, however, updating the absolute and relative
coordinates. The operator can therefore check if the commands are
correct by monitoring the position display.
[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Places all controlled axes in the machine lock state.
[Operation] When this signal is set to 1, pulses (move commands) are not output to
the servo motors for all axes in manual or automatic operation.
[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Place the corresponding controlled axes in the machine lock state.
These signals are provided for each controlled axis. The signal number
corresponds to the number of the controlled axis.
1. Machine lock for the 1st axis
2. Machine lock for the 2nd axis
3. Machine lock for the 3rd axis

MLK 1
[Operation] When these signals are set to 1, pulses (move commands) are not output
to the servo motors for the corresponding axes (1st to 8th) in manual or
automatic operation.
