(3) Guidance messages
The following table lists the guidance messages that appear on the
message line when soft keys are displayed. See Section D.4.1 for
details of soft keys 1 to 8.
If, however, an alarm occurs in the power mate CNC manager, its
number and message are displayed. See Section D.6 for details.
Soft key Message

No message is displayed, because these soft keys have
the same functions as in the existing CNC software. The
message line is used as a key --in line to display the
entered data.
(4) Key--in line
After the [(OPRT)] soft key is pressed, the message line becomes the
key--in line, as required. The key--in line displays numeric data keyed
in, from the MDI keypad, at the prompt >.
On the parameter and diagnosis screens, the key--in line appears when
numeric data is keyed in, even if the [(OPRT)] soft key has not been
pressed.
(5) Data input/output
Once input/output units have been set up, data input/output is started
by first pressing the [READ] or [PUNCH] soft key on the parameter
screen, then [EXEC]. Keep in mind that it is impossible to switch t o
another screen during an input/output operation. The input/output
operation is discontinued if an alarm condition is detected during
communication.
(1) Operations
1. Pressing the [(OPRT)] soft key prepares the required processes,
such as data rewrite and data search, for execution.
2. The cursor and page keys on the MDI keypad can be used to move
the cursor or display another page for the active slave.
3. To reselect the active slave, use the [BACK] and [NEXT] soft
keys. These soft keys are displayed by pressing the
previous--menu key to return to the soft key menu that was
displayed before [(OPRT)] was pressed, then the next--menu key
several times.
(2) Alarms
1. CNC
In an alarm condition occurs in the CNC, the CNC alarm screen
appears automatically. Check the alarm message, then press the
SYSTEM function key to switch back to the previous function
screen, as required.
2. Slave
Usually, a guidance message is displayed on t he message line. If
an alarm condition occurs in the servo amplifier unit, the group
number for the servo amplifier unit is displayed at the right end
of the line. See the alarm screen for details of the alarm.
(3 ) Data protection key
If the CNC data protection key is set to the on position, it is impossible
to write parameters into the CNC memory.
