Operation

1. Main Interface

This is the interface showing after booting without boot picture. It shows the coordinates of each axis, F
speed and rate, S speed and rate, as well as condition of input and output port. P1000 means the program
currently running; 123 means the input method. You can get into the AUTO, JOG, PROG, PAR, USB as well
as password interface from here.

2.Auto

3.2 MPG

Press MPG, then move the wheel up, the axis chosen move positively, move the wheel down, the chosen
axis move negatively. Press X10X100 to change the cardinal number which shown on the top of the screen.

Status Cardinal Number

X1 0.001mm
X10 0.01mm
X100 0.1mm

3.3 BPZ

Press this key the chosen axis go back to reference point at highest speed. Define the highest speed in
Parameters-Speed.

3.4 All 0

Press this key the chosen axis go back to reference point at highest speed. Define the highest speed in
Parameters-Speed. F is the combination speed of all axis.

3.5 BMZ

Return to machine zero. The chosen axis will move at BMZ High Speed to go back to machine zero, then
touch the switch and move at BMZ Low Speed, finally stop on the switch. In order to use this function, the X
0/Y 0/Z 0/C 0 has to be set as “On” in Parameters-Ctrl; Set BMZ High and BMZ Low in Parameters-Speed;
Set the direction in Parameters-Ctrl-X BMZ Dir

4. PAR

4.1 Ctrl

Control parameters setting area, Long press ↑ and ↓ to change page.

 X/Y/Z/C Numerator: Electric gear ratio (1-99999)
 X/Y/Z/C Denominator: Electric gear ratio(1-99999)
 X/Y/Z/C Reference:In manual operation, long press X/Y/Z/C to clear the coordinates and show this
value; or in machine zero, after hit the switch, it will show this value.
 X/Y/Z/C Backlash: Backlash to make it more precise
 X/Y/Z/C Boot Zero: 0 means the axis will not go back to machine zero after booting; 1 means the axis
will go back to machine zero after booting
 X/Y/Z/C BMZ Dir: 0 means the axis go back to machine zero towards negative direction; 1 means the
axis go back to machine zero towards positive direction

 Speed+Time(ms): time use for motor to reach F speed

 Jog+Distance: in manual operation, increment for jogging. Unit of it is depended on electric gear ratio.
 Language: English (0)or Chinese(1)

4.1.1 Setting of Electronic Gear Ratio

Setting the electronic gear is to set different data unit for different machines. Different axis of the same
machine can be set based on different unit. For example, axis A can be set as mm, axis B can be set as angle,
and axis C can be set as round.

How to set the numerator and denominator of electronic gear ratio:

Pulse needed for the motor to turn one round to the same direction
Distance moved when the motor turn one round to the same direction(μm)
Numerator and denominator both should be integer between 1 and 99999.
Ex. 1 Screw Transmission
Stepper motor stepping is 5000, or servo motor 5000 pulse/round, screw pitch is 6mm, reduction ratio is 1:1,
then,
5000 → 5
6*1000*1.0 → 6
Ex. 2 Rack and Pinion
Stepper motor stepping is 6000, or servo motor 6000 pulse/round, gear teeth number is 20, m=p/π=2, then
6000 → 1 → 107 → 107
1000*20*2*3.14159265 → 20.943951 → 2241.00276 → 2241
Ex. 3 Rotary Angle
Stepper motor stepping is 5000, or servo motor 5000 pulse/round, reduction ratio is 1:30, then,
5000*30 → 5
360*1000 → 12

4.2 Speed

● X/Y/Z/C Highest: The highest speed of x axis motor. When the system is operating, speed will not

exceed this number no matter what F you set.

● Start(mm/min)Speed during Spd+Time

● Man High: Manual high speed

● Man Low: Manual low speed

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 jiafengqi.xtf@hotmail.com

● BMZ High: Go to machine zero at high speed.

● BMZ low: Go back to machine zero first at high speed, through zero switch and move back at low speed.

Finally slider will stop on the switch.

● BMZ Mode: two modes to go back to machine zero, trough switch or not. Through switch(0): slider will

stop on switch. Not trough switch(1): Slider will stop before the switch.

● S High Speed: The highest speed of spindle

4.3 Input

This function unable user to set various kind of switch easily. Define the I/O port according following form.
External Big switch is needed to finish external control. External switch is connected in the way of normal
open. Press R to change off into on, and S to choose N.O.(Normal Open). Then choose the IO Port number in
the blank.
Note: For safety consideration, limit and emergency stop input is usually set as N.C.(Normal Close).
