Proxxon FF 500 CNC Commissioning Manual page 7

This is called up by clicking the "Help" menu and then clicking "Help Topics" in the
next window.
Finally, this manual can be used as a "Help" function to solve quite concrete and
current problems with an application, using the help of a sophisticated navigation
window.
This omits the annoying paging back and forth in a voluminous printed work: the
answers to specific problems are found quickly and precisely.
You will find notes on how to use the "Help" function further along in this manual.
Furthermore, we offer specific notes on what you can do to not only use the excellent
features of the machine, but to maintain it for a long time.
If a malfunction occurs despite all these things, the error table at the end of this
manual will provide some help. We will also offer direct assistance in case of
particularly stubborn cases.
The schematic illustration below shows the structure and the "interconnection" of the
individual components. The software that enables us to digitally construct the parts
and generate the "running commands" is installed on the computer at the bottom left.
Naturally, a notebook or laptop are more suitable as a "computing centre". These
stay mobile and it is not necessary to put a normal computer next to the machine in
your hobby basement or workshop.
The computer is connected by RS 232 connection to the control unit (we call it the
MCS multi-controller), and the electrical components of the machine are connected
to it in turn. All of the necessary connecting cables with matching plugs are supplied
and only need to be plugged in.
