In order to select a menu item or parameter simply tap the screen once at the position of the icon. If it is necessary to pan (for example in product select menu), keep your finger on screen and move in the desired direction. Pan is available to scroll in horizontal as well as vertical direction.

Exploring Available Menus

The DA-40T has several modes for programming and operation:

Enhancing Security with the Key Lock

For enhanced security and operational integrity, the control system is equipped with a versatile key lock feature to prevent unauthorized programming and access.

This function ensures that only qualified personnel can adjust the control settings, thereby safeguarding the machine and workpieces from unintended alterations and maintaining consistency in production quality.

The key lock can be accessed either via the touch screen interface located in the upper left corner or through an external physical key switch, depending on the machine model. To lock or unlock the controller, users can tap the key lock symbol to open the on-screen keyboard, enter code 42, and press enter. This action toggles the status of the key lock between closed and open.

When the control is unlocked (key lock is open), programming can proceed as described in this manual. However, if locked (key lock closed), several restrictions apply:

• Programs cannot be created, edited, or deleted.
• Tools cannot be created or edited.

Despite these restrictions, the following actions remain possible with the control locked:

• Selecting and executing programs (consisting of one or more steps).
• Changing Y-axis corrections within programs.
• Modifying settings.
• Moving axes in manual movement mode.
• Programming and executing one step in manual mode.

Additionally, entering code 21 instead of code 42 blocks the user interface, preventing unauthorized machine use without powering down. This blocked stage is indicated by an orange-colored key lock symbol.

To release and resume normal operation, tap the key lock symbol, enter code 21, and press enter.

Efficient Data Entry Using the On-Screen Keyboard

The on-screen keyboard on the DELEM DA-41T and DA-40T simplifies data entry during programming and setup, making it a crucial tool for entering precise data and commands that are vital for accurate machine operation. Its responsive design offers an ergonomic typing experience, further supporting efficient and error-free control management.

The DA-40T features a built-in on-screen keyboard with both numerical and alphanumerical keys, as well as several additional keys to enhance user functionality:

This structured approach, by incorporating strategically placed keywords and detailed operational guidance, seeks to offer comprehensive help to users of the DELEM DA-41T and DA-40T, thereby enhancing both user experience and search engine visibility.
