Starting The Software Nccad7.5; Parameter Settings; The Status Display At The Cnc Control Mcs - Proxxon FF 500 CNC Commissioning Manual

8.3. Starting the software nccad7.5

After the program was successfully installed, it can be started just as you are used to
from other applications on your computer. Simply select the "Start" button on the
screen with your cursor and select the desired file in the program title bar. It's even
easier if you simply click the program icon.

8.4. Parameter settings

The specific machine data (travel paths, limit values, working conditions, equipment,
etc.) are stored in the parameter files. These can be recognised by the ending "*.ini"
in the Windows Explorer.
Caution!
The values stored there are especially adapted to operation with the FF 500 CNC
and should not be changed without experience and knowledge of the program.
No changes may be made here especially before commissioning! False entries can
lead to system errors and dangerous operating states!

8.5. The status display at the CNC control MCS

There are three different coloured lights on the panel of the
CNC control; see picture. They indicate the operating status of
the CNC milling cutter.
• Yellow:
execution running, even if the axis or spindle are not
currently moving. Do not reach into the CNC machine;
it is possible that the command "pause" is running
down and machining can continue at any time.
• Green:
PC is possible, commands can be received.
• Red: Locked (Gesperrt) (or error) – The movement and command receipt of
the CNC machine are locked. This could be the case if the EMERGENCY stop
was activated, or if an error occurred in the system (e.g.: communications
error, PC no longer completely functional).
• All:
After the CNC milling cutter is switched on as a lamp test for a duation
of approx. 1 second.
