Operating Instructions of Man-machine Interface

On the man-machine operating panel there are 16 buttons, among which the function of each is described as shown on the button. 5.1 Main Interface Main Interface 1 (idle)

Main Interface 2 (run)

Main Interface 3 (pause)

Main Interface 1 displays when the system idles. The current file shows the memory file selected by the operator currently as well as its number. If it shows 000, it means that the memory file is not selected; the max power and the engraving speed are separately the maximum power and the engraving speed currently set on the keyboard, which are expressed in the percentage of ultimate value to the accuracy of 1%. Below Main Interface 1, any button on the keyboard can be pressed.

5.2 Buttons (1) RESET button In any interfaces (including each main interface and auxiliary interfaces), press this button and the mainboard will reset and the machine will look for the origin. (2) LASER button In the interface of system idle and pause, press this button and the laser will emit light when it shoots in situe, of which the time is the time when the LASER button is pressed, that is to say, the laser emits light as soon as the button is pressed; it will stop as soon as the button is not pressed. Pressing the LASER button, you can at the same time press the lower arrow button to start manual cutting. The laser power from shooting in situ is the maximum power set on the keyboard. It results in nothing to press this button in other interfaces. (3) SETTINGS button Speed, MinPower, MaxPower There are such three buttons for parameter setting as: minpower, maxpower and speed, as long as which are pressed in the interface of system idle, parameters can be changed. When PC software generates the cutting/engraving data file, the corresponding parameters will be those set on the keyboard if one or all parameters are set at zero. For example, in speed setting, press the SPEED button in the interface of system idle and the following content will make an appearance:

At this time press the arrow buttons to change the percentage. If you press the up and down buttons, the percentage will change at the unit of 1%; if you press the right and left buttons, it will change at the unit of 10%. After change, press the ENTER button to make the parameters function and the interface return to the system-idling one. To cancel this change, press the ESC button to return. The change of the maximum and minimum power is the same as above. (4) FILE button In the system idle interface, press the FILE button and the interface will show as follows:

Move the cursor to an item by pressing the arrow buttons first, and then press the ENTER button to access the memory file or U-disk file. Where there are no files in the accessed object, the interface will not show any files, otherwise it will show all names and numbers of objective files in the form of four files per page:

At this time press the arrow buttons (move the cursor up and down by pressing the up and down buttons and turn the page by pressing the right and left buttons) to select a certain file, and then press the ENTER button to enter the next interface. As for the memory file, it supports such three options as Copy to U-disk, Process and Del. Select Copy to U-disk and the memory file at this number will be copied to U-disk. If it fails, the interface will show the wrong information; if it succeeds, the interface will return to the previous one after the machine rings. Selecting Process and pressing the ENTER button, you can directly start the processing of this file. At this time the interface shows Main Interface 2 (the run interface). When you select the DEL and press the ENTER button, this file will be deleted from the memory. As for the U-disk file, it supports Copy to U-disk and Del and operate the similar memory files. In the above operations, where the interface shows the wrong information, press the ENTER button or ESC button to have the interface return to the previous one. This mainboard supports FAT32 and FAT16 file formats in the U-disk, but they can be identified only when they are placed in the root directory of U-disk. The file name with more than 8 characters will automatically be cut off by the system. Except for the file name in English and digits, other name will not display. The files copied from the mainboard to U-disk are placed in the root directory of U-disk. (5) START/PAUSE button In three main interfaces this button can be pressed. Where the system idles, press this button to manipulate the selected files. In the run interface press this button and the work will pause. In the pause interface press this button and the paused work will continue. (6) ORIGIN button In the system idle interface, press this button and the mainboard will take the current position of X/Y axes of the machine as the relative origin of graph. In other interfaces, it will result in nothing to press this button.

(7) LANGUAGE button The man-machine interface supports the display in three languages. In the system idle interface, press this button to enter the interface of selecting such three languages as: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English. Press the ENTER button after selecting a language, and the interface will display the corresponding language. Prior to that the language is not changed, it will always prevail (even if the machine is restarted).

(8) ESC button and ENTER button In each interface, press the ESC button and the ENTER button to deny or confirm this operation. (9) Arrow buttons and Z/U button The arrow buttons can be used to move the motion axes besides altering the parameters and moving the cursor. In such two interfaces as system idling and suspension, press the arrow buttons to move the motion axes. To move X-axis, press the right or left button; to move Y-axis, press the up or down button. In moving the time, press the down button to start motion; loosen the button to stop motion. In the motion process the speed will automatically increase or decrease until it reaches the maximum/minimum coordinates. The moving speed of the button is the percentage set with the keyboard. After the directional signal polarities of each axis in the machine are adjusted well, press the left button and the X-axis may move to the right; press the up button and the Y-axis may move downward, which means the button polarities of the axes moving reversely are not correct. In such a case you should change the button polarities of this axis in PC. In the system idle interface, press the Z/U button to access the Z/U-axis inching interface.

In this interface, press the up/down buttons to move Z-axis and press the left/right buttons to move U-axis, at the speed as the percentage of Z/U-axis ultimate speed (the percentage is the set value in the keyboard). Z/U-axis button can also support the change of button polarities, but presently this axis can only support the manual uniform motion, so if this machine is equipped with Z/U-axis, its ultimate speed cant be set too high.
