Operation 59
Configuration - This menu accesses various additional settings, as well as information about the
machine in use. To change of view any of these settings, highlight the Configuration menu and press
Enter. Each of these sub menus are described below:
Versions - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will display hardware and software versions of the
controller, as well as display the machine serial number.
Input States - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will display information about the status of the
motors and sensors on the machine.
Prompt Y Height - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will allow the user to specify whether to ask
the user for the Y height before running a job. When engraving jobs from programs such as
CorelDraw©, jobs may engrave upside down on an engraving machine. This is because the program
typically is referencing the home position from the lower left corner of the plate, and the engraver or
router is referencing the home position from the upper left corner of the plate. To correct this, the Vision
Job Server will flip the job automatically so that the engraving will be oriented properly. However, when
doing this, the Vision controller needs to know the page size that is set up in programs such as
CorelDraw©. To accomplish this, the Prompt Y Height configuration setting must be turned on. Move the
cursor to the Prompt Y Height menu item using the Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. Press
the Y up or down jog buttons to select Yes or No. Press the Enter button on the controller. Press the Exit
button two times to return to the main screen when finished.
Display Units - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will allow the user to set the display units to
either inches or millimeters. To change units, move the cursor to the Display Units menu item using the
Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. Press the Y up or down jog buttons to select imperial or
metric units. Press the Enter button to save this setting. Press the Exit button two times to return to the
main screen when finished.
Save Defaults - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will allow the user to save various settings,
even when the machine is turned off. The user can save settings such as the Spindle On/Off, Aux On/
Off, Prox On/Off, Z lift, Z depth, RPM and surface location. To save the controller defaults, change the
settings above to the way that you would like them. Move the cursor to the Save Defaults menu item
using the Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. The Pendant screen will show "Save as
Defaults?". Highlight Yes or No using the X left or right jog buttons, then press Enter. The settings are
now saved. Press the Exit button two times to return to the main screen when finished. The next time the
Vision controller is turned on, the defaults will be as you set them.
Restore Defaults - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will restore the defaults in the controller to
the original factory set defaults. To restore the controller defaults, move the cursor to the Restore
Defaults menu item using the Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter. The Pendant screen will show
the main screen with "Restore to Factory Defaults?" shown in the upper left corner of the screen. Press
Enter to restore the defaults. The Pendant screen will display "Loading Defaults...", then display "Reboot
Now?". Press Enter to reboot the controller. The factory settings will then be restored.
Limits - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will prevent the controller from reading the limit
switches on the machine. This is typically used only in diagnosing problems that may occur with the
machine's limit switches. To disable the limit switches, move the cursor to the Limits Enabled menu item
using the Y up and down jog buttons and press Enter, which toggles the limit switches from Enabled to
Disabled. Pressing Enter again will Enable the limit switches. Press the Exit button two times to return to
the main screen when finished.
Pump - Pressing Enter with this item highlighted will activate the (optional) external misting system used
for lubrication during specific material cutting. It is also used for the Max-Pro machines. This is a
manual control and the Vision Pro software allows for automatic operation of the misting pump, so this
feature is not often used. To turn this feature to Off or Auto, highlight the item in the menu and press
Enter. To turn this feature to On or Auto, press the Shift button, then press Enter. Both Enter and Shift/
