MANUAL MODE SCREEN

The NView HMI software offers a robust joystick (jog) and MDI command line interface. The joystick mode offers two configurable virtual joysticks for distance and freerun jogging. The MDI command line allows the manual entry and execution
of immediate commands.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND AXIS TUNING

Years of experience and research have led to the development of a complete analysis tool, including an Autotune routine. Using this tool, system characteristics such as torque, error, and velocity can be determined quickly.

PARAMETER EDITOR

Logically divided into categories of axis, task, and machine automation, the editor gives realtime access to parameters. Using clear text descriptions, the purpose of each parameter is easily understood and does not have to be cross-referenced with a manual.

CUSTOMIZABLE INTERFACE

The HMI buttons on the run and manual screens can be customized by the user to perform a variety of functions including: program execution, setting output, and launching external programs. CNC programs can be automatically run at startup, and axes can be renamed.

PLOTTING UTILITIES

Displaying the realtime tool path in 2- or 3-dimensional space allows for the visual verification of axis position.

DIAGNOSTICS

Organized by tabs, the diagnostics utility allows the status of the machine and system to be determined with the click of a mouse.

ON-LINE HELP

Not only a quick reference guide, the on-line help also serves as a comprehensive on-line manual. With over 1,500 searchable topics. The help file can be the only manual that you ever need.

INPUT/OUTPUT
The I/O display screen enables the quick viewing and manipulation of virtual, drive, and Ethernet based I/O. The state of digital outputs can be changed through a single mouse click. Edit boxes are provided for reading and writing register-based data.
