X15-41-01 Wireless MPG Pendant
Connecting the Pendant
Each pendant consists of a handheld pendant and a USB receiver. These items are paired based on their ID number, which can be found on a sticker on both devices. The USB receiver must be plugged into the control in order for the pendant to work. If the pendant cannot find the receiver when it is powered on, then a "Lost Rf" message will be printed on the pendant screen. This can be caused by the receiver not being plugged in to the control, the control being turned off, or by the distance between the pendant and receiver being too great.
Configuring the Pendant
To use the pendant with the control, go to Configure -> Plugins -> MachMotion -> User Interface through the menu system. On 1000 series controls, this menu is available on the Settings tab by clicking the 'Configure' button. On 2000 controls, it is available on the Service/Maintenance tab by clicking on the 'Interface Config' button.
In the Operator Panels section, select X15-41-01 Wireless MPG Pendant from the top list and press 'Add'. The pendant will load with its default configuration.
The pendant has an axis selector for the MPG. The axes to jog while '4', '5', or '6' are selected is configurable here.
The checkbox for 'Require Confirmation' will force the user to press some buttons twice in order to perform their functionality, such as 'Zero Axis'. Unchecking this box will allow the user to perform these actions with only one press.
The pendant has four configurable function buttons. The options for these buttons are shown in the pressed and released options. First select which button should be configured, then select which command it should do. To create custom commands, see documentation for User Commands.
Press 'Save' to save changes and leave the configuration window.
Pendant Functionality
The pendant must be turned on for any functionality to work. The pendant can be turned off at any time. The pendant is turned on and off by the large silver button on the front of the pendant.
The 'Zero Axis' button will zero the axis currently selected by the axis selector knob.
The 'Feed +/-' and 'Rapid +/-' increment and decrement the overrides by 10%, unless the overrides are within 0-10%, in which case they increment and decrement by 2%.
