Starting the SOCLB810.EXE Program
The SOCLB810.exe program is a Visual Basic program that has been qualified with Windows 98,
Windows ‘98SE, Windows ME, and Windows 2000 operating systems. The SOCLB810 program
consists of three files: SOCLB810.exe, SOCLB32.dll, and MSVBVM60.dll.
When you install the PMAC-NC32 for Windows program, the SOCLB810.EXE program will be installed
automatically. To start the SOCLB810.exe program, double click on the SOCLB810.exe icon on either
the Windows desktop, or select the file from the Windows Start/Programs/Delta Tau sub-directory. When
the SOCLB810 application begins, the program will display the above shown user interface.
Operating the SOCLB810.EXE Program
Before using the SOCLB810.exe program, make sure the Emergency Stop pushbutton is pressed (active).
This insures that no machine action will take place while testing the Advantage 810. The SOCLB810
program allows the operator or maintenance technician to test each feature of the Advantage 810.
The SOCLB810.exe program tests the 12 pushbuttons that have LEDs associated with them. They are:
User 1 through User 8, Cycle Start, Jog Plus, Jog Minus, and Feed Hold pushbuttons. When any of
these buttons are pressed on the Advantage 810, they alternately blink green and red on the Advantage
810 and the SOCLB810 program. When the pushbutton being tested is released, the LED will turn off on
both the Advantage 810 and the SOCLB810 program.
The SOCLB810.exe program also tests the 12 pushbuttons that do not have LEDs associated with them.
These buttons are: Auto, MDI, Spindle Forward, Spindle Reverse, Coolant, Block Delete, Optional
Stop, Single Block, Machine Zero, Speed Multiply High, Speed Multiply Medium, and Speed
Multiply Low. When any of these buttons are pressed on the Advantage 810, the button background
turns blue and the button title turns white. When the pushbutton is released, the window displays the
white background and black text associated with that pushbutton.
The Spindle and Feedrate Override box displays a value from 0 (all the way off) to 255 (all the way on).
The Axis Select box will display X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in this order. If the Axis
Select box is not read in this order, then there is a wiring problem with the Axis Select rotary switch.
The Manual Pulse Generator box will display either a positive number (rotating CW) or negative number
(rotating CCW), depending on which way the MPG is rotated. When the SOCLB810 program is
initiated, the value displayed in the Manual Pulse Generator box may be any value. Press the Zero MPG
button on the SOCLB810 program to set the currently displayed value to 0. Rotate the MPG to verify
that the proper amount of counts is being displayed. There should 100 counts read for every full
revolution of the Manual Pulse Generator.
