Page 3 Introduction This instruction manual is mainly targeted for milling machines and machining centers. This is to be used as a guide when using MELDAS 600M Series, the software-fixed type of CNC (NC hereafter) systems which are designed to execute high-performance contour control.
Page 4 Precautions for Safety Always thoroughly read the specifications issued by the machine manufacturer, this manual, related manuals and attached documents before installation, operation, programming, maintenance or inspection to ensure correct use. Do not use this numerical controller, before understanding the construction safety items and cautions.
Page 5 CAUTION 3. Items related to preparations before use. Always set the stored stroke limit. If not set, the axis could collide at the machine end. Always turn the power OFF before connecting/disconnecting the input/output device cables. The NC and input/output device could be damaged if the cable is connected in the power ON state.
Page 6 CAUTION 7. Items related to faults and errors If the BATTERY LOW warning is output, save the machining programs, tool data and parameters to an input/output device, and then replace the battery. If the BATTERY alarm occurs, the machining programs, tool data and parameters may be damaged. After replacing the battery, reload each data item.

Page 342 CHAPTER 2 MACHINE OPERATIONS 4. Operation Mode 4.3 Rapid traverse feed mode The rapid traverse feed mode enables the machine to be moved consecutively at rapid traverse feedrate manually. The rapid traverse feedrate can be changed in four steps by using the RAPID TRAVERSE OVERRIDE switch.
Page 343 CHAPTER 2 MACHINE OPERATIONS 4. Operation Mode 4.4 Reference point return mode This mode enables a given controlled axis to be manually returned to a determined position unique to the machine (reference point). The first reference point return after the NC power is turned ON is carried out in the dog mode. In the second or later reference point return, the dog mode or high speed return can be selected by setting a given parameter.

Operation procedure Using the MODE SELECT switch, select the incremental feed mode.
Page 346 CHAPTER 2 MACHINE OPERATIONS 4. Operation Mode 4.6 Handle feed mode The controlled axis can be moved by turning the manual handle. The travel distance per graduation of the handle depends on how the HANDLE/INCREMENTAL MAGNIFICATION switch is set. The axis that can be moved by using the manual handle is determined by setting the HANDLE FEED AXIS SELECT switch.

The mirror image function is effective in this case.
Page 358 CHAPTER 2 MACHINE OPERATIONS 6. Operation Switch Functions and Other Functions (2) Method for designating the mirror image (a) To use the external switch mirror image: 1) Before carrying out mirror image machining, move the axis to the mirror center using a mode such as MDI or JOG.

Operation Switch Functions and Other Functions (4) Precautions (a) Reset and mirror image cancel The mirror image center is canceled by the NC reset (including M02, M30 internal resets). The next time the mirror image center will be established is when an automatic start is carried out. This operation enables the mirror image center to be changed with the mirror image ON using a simple operation, so that another shape can be machined after the machining finishes.
