Important Reminders
• To Insert Code – When PathMaster® programming functions are used to insert code,
the code is inserted above the current highlighted location on the screen. The
operator must make sure the new path is put in the correct position.
• To Insert Tool Functions – Commands to move the tools are NOT automatically
inserted into the path programs. If a tool must change position (up/down, rotary)
the correct function must be inserted manually with the Tool programming
function. Refer Section 2.9.
• To Download Files – The operator must activate the EMERGENCY STOP button when
downloading files to the controller.

Workcell Interaction
For PathMaster® to operate correctly it must work with the workcell. The workcell must be
in Manual mode to teach a path program online with PathMaster®. Refer to the workcell
manual for more information.
NOTE: Playback of a path is only possible if workcell is in Manual mode.
Teach Pendant
PVA workcells come with a teach pendant. Each teach pendant has a Trackball, Teach
button, Purge button, Axis selection button, and LED indicators for selected axes and
teach function.
Figure 69: Teach Pendant
LED’s – The X, Y, Z and W LED’s show the selected axis configuration. The Teach LED shows
a position was correctly recorded by PathMaster®. The light tower buzzer will “beep” when
the Teach LED illuminates.
NOTE: W-axis trackball control is locked if the Teach Tool is enabled, unless the PathMaster
Tool Offset window is open (Setup-> Machine Parameters-> “Tool Offsets”). This so the
operator does not teach an accidental theta position with the teach tool.
