program A, the intermediate temporary stop (generated the first breakpoint), to do

another program of B. After the call the program A again, can be directly do restore
(
【find the breakpoint 】) breakpoint, the system will automatically find the location
of the interrupt for the first time, to continue processing.
3.6.3 note:
Both breakpoints recovery and restore power, are not allowed to change the Angle
of rotation, scaling, the condition of the system will automatically save, not
affected by the switch machine. Otherwise the system may find the breakpoint.

4.1.11 "F6" origin and “F7” reset

Machine back to the origin can be divided into "measuring the origin" and "reset"
two parts.
Machine back to the origin, is the process of return machine mechanical zero point,
back to zero biaxial running at the same time, independently back to zero. Reset
(before back to zero):
(a) Mechanical origin should choose NPN hall proximity switch (normally open, the
signal is low), and install in a suitable position.
(b) Set parameters (see parameter F3) reset speed - see "parameters" - "speed",
reset when the feed rate, the unit is mm/min. reset direction - see [parameter] -
[system], 0 - the shaft no longer, 1 – reverse, 1 – positive.
(c) Machine back to zero point process is as follows:
Section A: to reset speed fast forward.

Section B: slow down stop
Section C: reverse crawling to the
effective area.
Section D: forward, to stop the valid
area (the end).
(d) To measure the origin, to determine the mechanical origin of the work piece
coordinate system. Methods:
Cutting torch will be moved to the reference point in the work piece coordinate
system (a bit). set the current work piece coordinates.
[manual] - [supplementary] –[origin] measurement system to complete the
mechanical origin, and the current coordinate values into the origin of the machine
tool value, parameter Settings【system】option in the origin of the machine tool
change accordingly.
(e) Reset - cutting back mechanical zero, and set up the work piece coordinate

system.
Method: [manual] (or [automatic]) – auxiliary – reset, origin system to complete the
mechanical action, and the origin of the machine tool is set to the current
coordinates of the machine tool coordinate set to 0.
【note】: If two axles in the parameter reset direction from 0, namely no reset
action, execute reset after operation, the current value is equal to the origin of the
machine tool. Machine tool coordinate is equal to zero, this is important, because
the program limit is machine tool coordinate as a benchmark. Cutting torch will be
moved to the first mechanical origin (the origin is not necessarily true), select reset
function, can determine the current machine tool coordinate (zero), then according
to the distance from the effective on both sides of the mechanical origin, fill out the
positive/negative limit value of the software.

Chapter 10 System input/output interface connected
The system interface: including input/output (DB25 core), the motor (15 core), a
wireless remote control (15 core), meet the company production of block.
10.1 the system input principle
Generally limit/start/stop using mechanical switch, to prevent interference to enter,
usually use the normally closed contact of a mechanical switch, according to the
chart mode connection.
Note:
System requires urgent stop, pause, the logic is consistent, namely by normally
open or connected normally closed points (common).
System boot automatically detects the external trigger a state, as a control.
So, if you do not answer the external start switch, the corresponding bit should be
received 24 V (similar to answer the normally closed contact) or what all don't pick
up (similar to connect normally open contacts).
10.2 the principle of the system output:
Control signal = 0 switch/relay connected (24 V loop formation, low effective signal)
Control signal = 1 switch/relay disconnect (24 V did not form a loop, cancel)
