THE MEMORIES
The different memories of the DNC 70 may be represented schematically as follows:

ROM

Program

Work memory
RAM + battery

Internal non volatile memory Products, production, machine parameters, axes position

The DNC 60 is equipped as standard with a ROM memory containing the DNC 60 program and a RAM memory which allows the programming and storing of products and machine parameters. The RAM is divided into several zones each having a different use.

WORK MEMORY (BUFFER MEMORY)

This is a static RAM used for programming, modifying and executing products. It is a temporary memory whose contents are deleted whenever another product is called for. The contents of this memory is conserved if the DNC power supply is cut, even if it has not been previously stored in the internal memory.

DNC INTERNAL MEMORY

This fixed internal memory, of the static RAM type maintained by a lithium battery, contains the products, axes positions, numbers concerning the production and machine parameters. No programming or modification are done directly in this memory.

THE USER INTERFACE

THE SCREEN
The screen displays the products, and machine parameters as well as all other useful information for programming and machine work. The keys situated on the front of the DNC 60, are used for selecting the screen pages and introducing data. A cursor indicates where the user can intervene.

THE KEYBOARD
The keyboard is divided into several zones: a) b) c) d) e) f) a) Numerical keyboard Screen page selection keys Working mode selection keys The commands The cursor keys Other keys Numerical keyboard: keys are used to introduce

The numerical keys as well as the and numbers or values into the different fields. b) The screen page selection keys:

MENU key Gives access to the MAIN MENU page. PRODUCT LIST key Pressing this key displays the list of products in the DNC memory. PRODUCT key Visualization of the product data (sequence 0) and shear functions. SEQUENCE key Triple function key. Pressing the key once displays all the values of the current sequence. Pressing a second time displays the main values of the sequences and axes in large characters. Pressing a third time displays the main values of the sequence with the secondary values of the axes in large characters.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DNC 60

PAGE 9

CORRECTION key This key displays the correction page which allows to make corrections to the current sequence, as well as to the entire product.

c)

The working modes PROGRAMMING mode Allows to introduce, modify and read data as well as to store, search for and transfer programs. MANUAL mode Authorizes axis movement and auxiliary functions using the keys. SEMI-AUTOMATIC mode Allows a machine cycle with the current sequence values without automatic sequence change. This mode is used for adjustments when realizing the first product, as well as for products with only one cut. The sequence change is made using the keys. NB: The product counter Q does not function in this mode. AUTOMATIC mode Normal mode for product production. The DNC automatically changes sequence after each cut. Changing directly from "programming" mode automatically forces the first sequence of the program. Changing from "programming" mode to "semiautomatic" mode and then to "automatic" mode, conserves the current sequence for execution. This allows to take up again a product in production without having to make "empty" cycles.

The commands DELETE key Allows to delete a sequence or a program when the cursor is placed on the PRODUCT or N fields. Only functions in PROGRAMMING mode. CLEAR key This key allows to delete data indicated by the cursor. Pressing this key twice, on most pages, deletes all the data on the page. SEARCH key According to the cursor position allows: - to search for a product - to search for a sequence - to search for a screen page - to execute a transfer Only functions in PROGRAMMING mode. STORE (memorization) key Depending on the cursor position, allows to store the current program in the DNC internal memory, or create (insert) a new sequence in the middle of an existing program, or copy (teach) the value of an axis positioned manually in the current sequence. This key is only valid in programming (memorization and insertion) mode and in manual (teach) mode.

e)

The cursor keys SEQUENCE FORWARDS / PAGE FORWARDS key This key allows to scroll pages of the same type. Also allows to pass to the next page when a series of information occupies several pages. Eg.: ! program sequence ! production pages ! parameter pages In PROGRAMMING mode also allows to create an identical sequence (copy function) to the previous one as long as this is the last sequence of the program. The incorporated LED indicates whether the sequence is the last of the program. PAGE BACKWARDS key Allows to scroll backwards through pages of the same type. Functions in all modes except automatic mode. Cursor upwards, to the next accessible field. Cursor downwards, to next accessible field.

f)

Other keys START key Commands: ! The displacement of the axis and auxiliary functions. During movement the LED lights up. ! An indexation (on option depending on the configuration) on digital axes when this key is first pressed after switching on the DNC. To indicate that an index is being taken the LED remains constantly alight, until the indexes are received. Indexes can only be taken in or modes.

STOP key This key stops, depending on the working mode chosen, the axes or auxiliary functions in movement The "Stop" LED will remain alight until we press it a second time. NB: No axes (or auxiliary function) movement will be authorized unless the stop LED is off. In this group, you will find as well all the displacement keys connected to the "MANUAL" mode.

CY_

Represents the number of times a sequence is to be repeated before going on to the next sequence. _ and 1 = no repetition (i.e. only one sequence) 0= the sequence is not effectuated. 2 to 99 = number of repetitions desired. The number displayed in this field corresponds to the number of repetitions already made. 7 digit sheet metal number can be programmed for each sequence. It is transmitted by the RS 232 at each sequence change according to a pre-defined protocol.

If the field immediately following the axis' denomination is not programmed, the value of X -MEM- is an absolute value to be reached. If the field is programmed at 1, the X displacement will be relative in relation to the last positioning value. This displacement will be made the number of times programmed under CY_. It is forbidden to program a relative value for the X displacement in the No 1 sequence. (the DNC signals an error). If the field is programmed at 2, the axis will be placed at 0,0 at the beginning of positioning and it will then execute an absolute positioning of the programmed value. Speed factor (0->99%, undef. = 100%) This field indicates the sum of the corrections (constant and variable) of the displayed sequence. J for Jump and S for Sequence. This field allows to jump, after the next advanced sequence, to the sequence programmed in the JS field. The first field defines the number of times the sequence jump (programmed in JS) is to be effectuated. The POS field defines the number of times the jump has already been effectuated. NB: Programming the JS field without defining the number of times will execute an unconditional jump of the planned sequence. Generally a sequence anterior to the current sequence is programmed in the JS field. Similiarly to the CY which enables cycle repetition, JS allows the repetition of a group of sequences. This type of programming can be very useful to carry out a production with a minimum of stock.

Remark:

In the above example, the sequence 8 is never effectuated (unconditional jump). The Q-MEM- represents the number of products to be made. The product counter Q -POS- must be validated by programming 0 or another number corresponding to the number of products already made. Only then will the counter function. To clear the counter, simply clear the Q-POSfield. A 24V signal is supplied to the exterior as soon as Q -POS- reaches Q -MEM-.

DEFINITION OF THE WORK CYCLE

Programming the following fields defines the type of work cycle to be chosen for the current sequence. Without cutting_ Retract_ Work cycle without any cutting. By default (field not defined) the cycle will retract. In the case where the value 0 is programmed in the RETRACT field, the retraction is not made. In all other cases there will be a retraction. Programming this field supplies a 24V signal to the exterior at the beginning of the sequence, in order to open the scrap evacuation flap. This field is only displayed if the machine is equipped with a "cutting depth" function. Width over which the upper and lower blades cross. Programming this field starts the calculation of the BDC (cutting depth, figure 3). Gap between the cutting blades (in 1/100) for the sheet thickness and material chosen. Function corresponding to the rake angle. The value calculated in this field corresponds to the vertical separation (in mm) between the 2 ends of the upper blades. (Figure 3). Cutting depth. The value calculated for this field corresponds to the distance (in mm) between the right end of the upper blade and the lower blade.

TRANSMISSION
For transfer to an IBM PC by serial line the DNC 60 must be equipped with the option RS232. Backup The PC must be equipped with the CYBACK storage software. CYBACK allows to make a backup of the data in the DNC without intervention on the data on the PC's level. Easy, practical and very rapid, this possibility facilitates in case of necessity the updating of the DNC software in the FLASH memory. The PC must be equipped with the updating software. !

CYBACK
For this program the RS cable must be connected on the RS232 port of the J5 plug. The transmission parameters must be programmed on the DNC with the same values as for the test of the serial ports (see paragraph above). These same values must be programmed on the PC. If the transmission runs at 4800 baud, you can try to increase the transmission speed at 9600 baud. The RS 232 norm gives as limit 15m. By using a more important distance, there is a risk of bad transmission and it will be necessary to diminue the transmission speed. Reminder: The transmission command can only be given from the side of the PC. To permit the serial transmission with CYBACK: Pass to programming mode. ! Call the TRANFER DNC <> PC page. ! Introduce 2 in the TRANSFER field. ! Press the key. The display indicates STATUS RS232. Programming mode From this instant on, the DNC can receive data sent from the PC, provided that the DNC is in programming mode. In the other modes (auto, semi-auto or manual) the DNC doesn't respond, the transmission is not accepted. During the transmission the operator can leave the DNC on any page. It is not necessary to display the transfer page. The transfer mode remains memorized, even if the DNC is disconnected from power supply. It has to be re-programmed if the mode has been changed (for instance FLASH).

PROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Depending on the version, the DNC 60 can or can not be equipped with a 4-positions physical key. However the protection levels 0-1-2 and 3 still exist. For the case where the physical key doesn't exist, the access is made by password. ATTENTION : these passwords will be reset in the default values at each initialization of the machine parameters (817 on INIT page and Choice Init Mach Par = 1). Thus, in this manual we always will speak of a (virtual) key position like e.g.: "Key in position 3". Levels There exist 4 access levels, 0 to 3. 0 = Programming prohibited. 1 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of one (or more) product(s). 2 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of the tools. 3 = Programming, modification and transfer of the machine parameters. Access These levels are accessed by pressing the + or keys. (Release the 0-3 key before the stop key). The key position is displayed as a number on the upper right part of the screen (after the interactive field). When passing to a higher, not authorized level, a password modification will be requested. When the password has been introduced, you can "navigate" levels inferior or equal to the authorized one without reintroducing the password. Passing to level 0 resets password validity. Users A number of different users are predefined. A user is not a physical person in particular, but can be e.g. all the operators having the authorization to work on the machine. Each predefined user possesses his own password and a maximum level which he can reach. See further under Table of users, access and passwords. Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password can only be changed by a user having a superior access. In case of loss of the password, a user of a superior level has to reprogram the password.

A predefined user is just a role. Many physical persons can have the same role. E.g., many physical operators can be a EUL1 (level 1). After installing the machine it is advised to modify the password by default of level 4 (WSSUPER = Workshop supervisor) and of level 3 (EUL3 = Operators with authorization level 3), because the passwords are in this manual.

! The message OK and the selected level are displayed if the password is accepted, or KO if it is refused. Once the authorization acquired, the operator can change the level among those authorized to him without reappearing of a new password request. For instance, a user with access on level 3 can navigate between levels 1, 2 and 3 without having to give his password again. If level 0 is activated, the access on any other level will require to introduce the password again. This request will also appear when the user passes to a superior level (from 0 to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, etc.) and he has no access authorization. Advice If you have accessed to level 3, access to level 0 after your intervention. This will avoid to make undesired changings by inadvertence.
