BASICS

Touchscreen User-friendly

The user-friendly interface (HMI) is the most important advan-

tage of a touchscreen.

Data input is done by a virtual keyboard “painted” on the

touchscreen. The keyboard picture only appears and takes

up screen space when data input is possible. Adapting other

languages is not a problem due to the virtual keyboard; user

can select the language of keyboard easily. The size and lo-

cation of buttons provides convenient data input. When push-

ing buttons a clicking sound can be heard.

The user friendliness of a control interface depends on how

many buttons need to be pressed to achieve a certain func-

tion. Of course, the target is the minimum button clicking.

Touchscreen also helps here. There are several windows in

the screen of NCT control at the same time. The button zone

in the lower section shows the control options of active win-

dow. Pressing its surface can activate any window.

Should the user prefer a PC keyboard, there are 4 USB ter-

minals, and any type of PC keyboard can be connected to

one of them. The wired or wireless PC keyboard can be

placed on a tray under the machine operator panel in a con-

venient, ergonomic position. The keyboard tray can be or-

dered as an option.

Sound signals

There is a connection for speakers in NCT 200 control family

emitting clicking sound by pressing the keyboard screen, or

if there are alarm signals. A voice adviser option will also be

offered in the near future.

Nanointerpola-

tion

The internal data management of NCT 200 control series en-

ables the nano resolution path generation. Speed computing,

and all path and speed compensations are in nano resolu-

tion. The EnDat 2.2 measuring system and EtherCAT commu-

nication channel assure the resolution and speed required by

nanointerpolation. It provides enhanced accuracy and sur-

face finish during machining.
