Reset: reset function of the displayed value; after pressing ENTER/RESET,the displayed value is
set to zero.
Preset: preset function of the displayed value; after pressing ENTER/RESET,the displayed value
becomes equal to the value in the 3U6W
3U6W3U6W
3U6Wparameter, which can be set immediately after W$6W,
W$6W,W$6W,
W$6W,
(when the digit on the right is set to 2).
Fast Preset: the fast setting of the displayed value on the display; after pressing ENTER/RESET
3U6W
3U6W3U6W
3U6W appears and pressing 2 times ENTER/RESET it is possible to set the value directly (use and
and then confirm with ENTER/RESET). This function is useful when the displayed value must be
corrected often.
Origin change (correction of the displayed value for tool changes): with this function 3 different
origins (0,1,2) can be set and with ENTER/RESET it is possible to switch from one origin to another.
After setting 4 in the first digit on the right of the W$6W,
W$6W,W$6W,
W$6W,parameter, 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 will appear and after
pressing 2 times ENTER/RESET it is possible to set the nominal value for tool 0 (for example the
radius of cutter 0), which is then confirmed by pressing ENTER/RESET.
Now 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 will appear which is the nominal value for tool 1 (for example the radius of cutter 1): set
the correct value and confirm with ENTER/RESET.
Finally 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 will appear which is the nominal value for tool 2 (for example the radius of cutter 2):
set the correct value and confirm with ENTER/RESET.
In practice 3U6
3U63U6
3U6,3U6
3U63U6
3U6, and 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 are the nominal values associated to the three different tools
which are used.
As a special case, if 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 is set to zero, 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 and 3U6
3U63U6
3U6 are the values to display in origin 1 and in
origin 2 respectively.
ABS/REL function: Enables passing from an absolute to relative value; after pressing , the
displayed value is temporarily set to zero to measure a relative motion of the shaft. On the display
the REL icon indicates that the current display is relative to the reference point that has just been
created. Pressing again causes the absolute value to be displayed and the ABS icon will appear.
mm/inch conversion: Pressing converts the measurement from millimeters to inches and
back. When in inch mode, the INCH icon will appear and the displayed value will have an additional
decimal place. When the parameter QG(&
QG(&QG(&
QG(&=4 the mm/inch conversion is not available.
Offset: This parameter is added to or subtracted from the displayed value to correct it in case, for
example, of a tool change or to compensate tool wear. After setting a positive offset value, the
displayed value will be the measured value plus the offset value. After setting a negative offset
value, the displayed value will be the measured value minus the offset value.
Fast Offset: After pressing ENTER/RESET,2))6W
2))6W2))6W
2))6W appears and by pressing two times ENTER/RESET
it is possible to set directly the value to be displayed (use buttons and confirm with
ENTER/RESET). This function is useful if it is necessary to correct often the displayed value.
Counting direction G,U
G,UG,U
G,U
It sets the counting direction, allowed values 0 or 1.
By setting 0, the displayed value increases turning the shaft clockwise.
By setting 1, the displayed value decreases turning the hollow shaft clockwise.
Adjustment of displayed value
After the installation of instrument on the machine and setting of all parameters, in order to visualize
on the display the correct value it is necessary to carry out the reset or preset.
Position the shaft in a point in which the correct measure that has to be visualized is known exactly
(for example the stroke end point) or measure the position in that point of the shaft. Program
parameter W$6W,
W$6W,W$6W,
W$6W, with value 3 in the first digit on the right and exit programming.
