Overview

Task

Manual mode Manual mode (HB) permits the control of individual axes using manual operation elements (handwheel, inching keys, joystick). The operator can move axes in manual mode either

in a user-defined operating mode (i.e. exclusive) or
during a running NC program

i.e. apply additional command values.

The motion range of axes is limited by ‘Offset limits in manual mode’ (referred to below as: offset limits).

Properties

Offset limits can be monitored in manual modes with parallel interpolation (G201) and without parallel interpolation (G200). This is applicable to all axis types.

Parameterisation

Offset limit values can be configured for each axis.

relative offset limitsP-AXIS-00137 and P-AXIS-00138)
absolute offset limits (P-AXIS-00492 and P-AXIS-00493)

Programming

Relative offset limits can also be set by #MANUAL LIMITS[...].

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
