I'm trying to use the load monitor on our Multus B400W, P200 control.

Is there anything to show the load monitor is active?

On our MA600HB Horizontal, when the spindle load monitor is used, a box is highlighted to say which monitor table/values are active when the load monitor soft key is pressed.

In the program I activated the load monitor with...
VLMON[1]=8

I set the load levels on screen page 8 for the spindle. But when the program is running and press the LOAD MONI soft key, on the position screen, there is no sign of any active monitor.

VLMON[1]=8 means that you are monitoring axis 8 (spindle) and doing it on part 1 (out of 64). You will want to look on the first part (page) and press the LIMIT LEVELS to adjust for your monitored axis.

The page keys allow you to switch Axis when "trace" is active and switches part# when LIMIT LEVELS is active.

ON the front panel there is a LOAD MONITOR key. When you press that, you will see MONITOR and AUTO SET soft keys. They will highlite Green when ON.

Best regards,

PS> we've posted on this before, so you may want to do a search to get more details on Load Monitoring.

Ahh, thanks for the nudge to do a search first. I dived straight in with a question before thinking about it, didn't I.
I've found lots of info to be going on with. Looks like it's different to the horizontal.
