5 Switching Over Operation Modes
With the help of the data input keyboard the state of operation modes, switches, etc.,
displayed on the OPERATOR’S PANEL screen can be changed by means of softkeys after
action menu key has been pressed. The above switches are available not only on the OPERA-
TOR’S PANEL screen, but also on POSITION screens. These are discussed in details in the
chapters of the appropriate screen.
When switching over an opera-
tion mode, at first one of the
below screens (functions) must
be selected: OPERATOR’S
PANEL, or POSITION.

tion menu key
F1
MODES action menu needs to
be selected. In this case the cap-
tions of different operation
modes appear on the menu bar.
The desired operation mode can
be displayed by pressing the ap-
propriate softkey.
If the machine is mounted with
NCT machine control board the operating modes can be selected directly from the
pushbuttons.

In the different computers the operation mode selection can function contrary to the above-
mentioned process. For example operation mode selector switches can be equipped to the
machine and the operation modes can be switched over directly by the use of these. It is
possible, that in this case operation modes cannot be selected by means of softkeys at all. For
details turn to the machine tool builder for an information material.
