Manual Mode

The options shown in Portal depend on the workcell configuration. Refer to machine

specific manuals and appendices for more information.

Figure 7: Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the operator has manual control of all devices on the workcell. There are

tabs in Manual mode that are used for different Portal functions. A trackball can be used to

move the axes, operate the devices, and teach positions to PathMaster®. Only qualified

personnel should operate the machine in Manual mode.

Paths can be programmed with the PathMaster® software when in Manual mode in Portal.

For more information refer to the separate PathMaster® manual.

To leave Manual mode and return to Cycle Stop, select the “Stop” button.

The options that most workcells have are shown in the following sections.

the valves incorrectly.

Figure 9: Run Tab

Run mode allows testing of a downloaded path program for a single cycle. The path can be

run as “WET” or “DRY”. Ensure that the part is in the correct position inside the workcell

before the path is run or the results will not be accurate and could damage the workcell.

1. Select the “Run” tab.

2. Select the “A” or “B” radio button to select which side will run. Select the “A” radio

button for the left side program select drop down or the “B” radio button for right

side program select drop down.

3. Select the Run Program - “WET” button to run the selected program with the

valves turned on.

4. Select the Run Program - “DRY” button to run the selected program with the

valves turned off. If this button is selected, the valves will move but they will not

dispense.

Note: Confirm the correct program is selected from the Program Selection drop down

menu. Ensure the part is correctly installed and all board stops and locators are in the

correct position to prevent a crash.
