ProtoTRAK SMX K2, K3, K4 & Retrofit Safety, Installation, Maintenance, Service & Parts List Manual

(These numbers above are typical numbers for the calibration constants, the numbers for

secondary feedback are default numbers, which means no calibration has been done, or the

machine does not have secondary feedback)

Arc accuracy – 0.001”

Secondary feedback – 0, 1, 2 or 3

(0 = off, 1 = X on only, 2 = Y on only, 3 = XY both on)

Code 11 values X = 0.002 Y = 0.001”

Code 128 X=0.001” Y=0.0014” Z=0.0016”

Code 12 (+) X=000005 Y=000006 Z=000006

(-) X=000005 Y=000005 Z=000006

Code 100 (+) X=210.5 Y=208.9 Z=200.1

(-) X=207.1 Y=208.4 Z=203.6

4.9.1.5 CODE 316: Update Master Software

Load upgrade disk in floppy drive or add software to an external drive and press this service

code. New software will automatically download and control will reboot. Please perform

alignment routine afterwards.

4.9.1.6 CODE 317: Update Slave Software

Load upgrade disk in floppy drive or add software to an external drive and press this service

code. New software will automatically download and control will reboot. Please perform

alignment routine afterwards.

4.9.1.7 CODE 318: Activate Converters or Options

See programming and operating manual.

4.9.2 Machine Set-up Codes

The following codes are used primarily when setting up a new machine. To get to any of

these codes go to Service Codes, press “B” and press the code you wish to view.

4.9.2.1 CODE 11: Hysteresis

Note: This code is use only for systems with Sensors or Glass Scales on the table and saddle.

The Code 11 service routine checks the readings of the motor encoder against the sensor

encoder. It is a measurement of how much motor motion is necessary to create table or

saddle motion. This test helps us to look at two things:

• Play: How much backlash must be taken up when motion is reversed.

• Friction: How much the mechanical components must be "torqued up" in order to break

the friction and create motion.

The Code 11 procedure is very useful and will help in diagnosing all types of motion and

performance problems.

1. Position the table and saddle in the center of travel. Note: You will lose your DRO position

reference.

2. Go into the Service Codes and input Code 11.

3. The system will run the checking routine automatically and then display the values in the

position readout.
