(20/35) - DRO installation - Installation/Operation - 10iE-20iE - (Soft: 01.xx)
3.5.2
Operating mode.
• Move the axis to the origin or zero point and press the axis key.
The display shows
“START”.
• Move the axis in the positive direction all the way to the end of the travel so
the DRO can read as many reference marks as possible.
• Press
[ENTER]
to finish. The moving direction used will be assumed as the
positive direction.
The axis status will then switch to one of the following:
Ready
Correct feedback setup
Repeat
Wrong feedback setup, the process should be repeated.
Error
Error in the feedback system.
Note:
If the feedback device is a steel tape t ype linear encoder, press
[F]
before
pressing
[ENTER]
so it is properly detected.
3.5.3
Power and machine connection
Always mount it vertically so its keyboard is within operator's reach and its
digits are easily visible (at operator's eye level).
Do not connect or disconnect the DRO connectors while it is under power.
Connect all metallic parts to a common point on the machine tool and it to the
general ground point. Use cables of enough gage (no thinner than 8 mm
2
)
for this connection.
3.6 Installation parameters
These DROs have a number of insta llation parameters to configure it for a
particular application.
The way th ese parameters are displayed depends on whether they are
general or particular for each axis.
• If it affects the axes, the parameter number (PAR??) appears on each axis
display and the corresponding axis key must be pressed to modify it.
• If it is a general parameter and there are more than one axis (20iE, 20iE-B) ,
the X display will show the parameter number and the Y its current value; if
there is only one axis, its number will appear on the X displa y and, after
pressing this key, its value.
There are several kinds of parameters depending on how to set them:
• With binary values, it only takes values of 0 or 1 for each digit. The value is
changed by pressing the key with the relevant digit between [1] and [8].
Where [1] corresponds to the rightmost digit o f the display a nd [8] to the
leftmost digit.
• Numeric values, usually with the corresponding axis reso lution, they are
entered as regular coordinate preset.
