Search (SW 3 and higher)
Select the Search function with this key.
With this function you can either search for a "Term" (e.g. following spindle) or a
machine data. When you have selected the function an input field appears, in
which you enter either the term or the machine data which you then acknowledge
with the input key. You can choose between softkeys Search global and Search
local.
Search global means that you search all data lists, i.e. of the drive, NC, PLC,
Cycles and IKA for the term or MD you are looking for. Once the term or the MD
has been found, the list display showing the data appears on the screen. It can
be altered immediately. The softkey path under which the list display with the
data can be found is also displayed. You can continue the search with the softkey
Continue search and you can terminate it with the softkey Search end.
Search local means that you can look for the term or machine data within a list
display. This corresponds to the search in the NC lists available until now.
Please note the text under the input column:
"Input: Text or data number (without '.' and ':'!)". You cannot search for the bit or
parameter set in SW 3.
In SW 4 it is possible to search for the bit, parameter set or select a digit.
You can use the wildcard character * for symbols or characters (used in foreign
languages) which are not on the operator
panel.
Password (SW 3 and higher)
You select the function Password with this softkey.
The password in the NCK, PLC and MMC areas is defined with machine data 11.
You can alter the password (MD 11) via the User displays and Edit list softkeys.
Default value 0 corresponds to the password 1111. Any other value entered in
machine data 11 must be 4 digits long.
You will automatically be asked to enter the password for certain functions in the
machine data dialog or if you have operated the softkey Password. An input field
appears with the command "Enter password".
You enter the password and confirm your entry with the softkey Set. You can
clear the password with the softkey Delete.
The message "Wrong password" appears if an incorrect password has been
entered. Acknowledge with OK and enter the correct password.
Machine data 11 (password) is not named when you call it up in the function user
displays.
In SW 3 the password is deleted on Power on Reset or NCK Reset and in SW 4
with Control off/on (hardware).
