Folks,

Considering a Masso with Touchscreen and have an MDI question. I've watched about 40 YT videos and haven't seen the MDI section or its usage on the F2 screen, Program and MDI. My question is, can MDI commands, G,F,M etc be entered using the touchscreen or is keyboard required?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

You can enter any Gcode command into MDI, G,M,F,S as well as a couple of special commands to do things like setting time and reseting the job counter.

To go this you need to use the keyboard.

I believe MDI is an acronym for Manual Data-Entry Interface. It allows you to type and run a single G code statement. From a "programming" perspective I would recommend performing a web search for learning how to write g-code. Typically you would only use G01 with the MDI to manually command a move to a specified co-ordinate or the M06 to manually command a tool change.

Normally you would use a CAM system (for example: Autodesk Fusion 360) to generate the gcode.
