Important! Do not power on the motors and drives via the green Start button before powering on the controller that oversees their operation. Make sure that the controller is on and the PathPilot interface is loaded before powering on the mill. Likewise, make sure to depress the red E-Stop before powering off the controller using the Exit button on the PathPilot interface. Confirm that the mill powers off and on correctly using the procedure detailed in this section.

Power Off/On Procedure

  1. Push in the red Emergency Stop button.

  1. From the PathPilot interface, select Exit. Then, select OK to power off.

Initial PathPilot Controller Configuration

Turn the Main Disconnect switch to On. Turn the operator panel-based Controller switch, used to power the controller on and off, to the On position.

The first time the PathPilot controller is powered on it starts a configuration process that allows the operator to configure the PathPilot operating system to the particular machine. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete controller configuration. After configuration, PathPilot automatically launches; the controller automatically loads PathPlot for the selected machine when the controller is powered on in the future.
