Accessing the debug screen
You can only access the debug screen if the terminal is in connected mode.
If this is the case, access the debug screen in the following way:
-
Select the Configuration editor,
-
Select and confirm (or double click on) the rack position that contains the axes control module,
-
By default in connected mode, the debug screen is displayed.
The operation of the command buttons
is as follows:
-
For the on state commands (except JOG commands):
Pressing then releasing the button activates the associated command. The button’s internal light is lit when this command is recognized (the corresponding command bit %Q is set to 1).
Pressing then releasing the button a second time deactivates the command. The button’s internal light is extinguished when this command is recognized (the corresponding command bit %Q is set to 0).
-
For on edge commands:
The command is activated as soon as the button is pressed then released. The button’s internal light lights up then is automatically extinguished.
The light situated next to the button signals the recognition of the command by the module.
All values entered into an input field must be confirmed using the
