Have worked with Modicon, AB, Fanuc, Siemens etc. PLC's. Upgrade, program,
etc. but have not familar with Mazatrol. Can get to Ladder "Monitor" and thats about all I know. Must I "Stop" the PLC to get the "Write" screen?
If so then can I change and edit simple functions like timer presets, contacts etc.
I have absolutely no hint of where to start!!!! If someone can simply direct me to whatever documentation I need to buy, borrow, steal, you will have been more help than MAZAK!

Was told Mazak allows no customer edits......Contact my regional office with any more questions.
Have worked on and with alot of OEM equipment, this is a first for me!

I have ran into the same problem with Mazak, the irony is that the control is Mitsubishi and they allow even have on screen programming/modification on their systems, Mazak made some mods to make them proprietary.

Do not edit the ladder unless you have the expertise to do so. You can hopelessly screw up the machine and/or create an unsafe condition. Be sure to make a back up copy of the present ladder. PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Follow this procedure to access the edit mode:

From the Position Screen:

1. Press the DIAGNOS key.
2. Press the VERSION key.
3. Press the LADDER MONITOR key.
4. Press the RUN/STOP key.
5. Type 1 then press INPUT to stop the PLC.
6. Press the blank soft key that appears between the RUN/STOP and END keys.
7. Press the RIGHT ARROW key.
8. Type 1131 then press INPUT.

9. You will now see the following keys displayed:

READ WRITE INSERT DELETE CONVT

Use these keys to edit the ladder. When finished, press Convert (CONVERT)

10. Press the END key.

This will take you out of edit mode and the Ladder Monitor. The machine will be in Emergency Stop because the PLC is still stopped.

11. Get back into the Ladder Monitor.
12. Press the RUN/STOP key.
13. Type 0 then INPUT to start the PLC.
14. Press END.
