2.6 MODE SELECTION
Overview
The mode selection signals set the basic operation modes of the control
unit. The mode selection signals include input signals used by an
external device to notify the control unit of a desired operation mode,
and output signals used for the control unit to notify an external device
of the currently selected operation mode.

Explanations
- Operation mode selection
When an input signal is set to 1, the corresponding operation mode is
selected. While a mode is selected, the corresponding output signal is
set to 1. As indicated in the table below, two or more operation modes
can be selected at any one time.
Mode selection input signal
Mode
T D MEM EDT MOVL H S J AGJ
Automatic operation One of these signals is set to 1. 00000
Manual operation 00000
One of these signals is set to 1, J and
H are set to 1, or S and H are set to 1.
Simultaneous automatic
and manual operation
One of these signals is set to 1 1
One of these signals is set
to 1, J and H are set to 1, or
S and H are set to 1.
0
One of these signals is set to 1. 11000
(0:Signal set to 0, 1:Signal set to 1)
This means that, by setting the MOVL signal to 1, manual operation is
enabled even during automatic operation. By setting the J or S signals,
and H to 1 at the same time, jog feed or incremental feed, and manual
handle feed can be used without mode switching.
Background editing is possible from the MDI panel, regardless of
whether any of the above modes is set.
