1 Preface
eHMC & FC is a SYNTEC controller specially designed for the automation market. There are diversified demands
in the market and requirements of customizing dedicated screens for the machine. eHMC & FC ( hereafter
referred to as "automation controller" ) are equipped with the following things 
1. 【Axis module】Provide a basis for secondary customization of machinery factories and electric control
personnel
2. 【Electronic module】Provide diagnosis when machine conditions occur in machinery factories
This manual explains the functions of【Axis module】, so that the mechanical factory or electronic personnel
have a basic understanding when doing secondary development.

• A confirmation window pops up.

• Wait for the cursor to move to the entered line number or serial number after confirming.
• Execute machining.
• Related parameters
• Pr.3851 = 999900
• Suitable for small programs. The program will be recovered after simulating
interpretation and machine at where the entered line number or serial number is.
• Recovery status: M03/04/05、S-code、F-code、G54/G55..、G90/G91、G94/G95l
• The standard recovery status is as above, if the rest needs to be recovered, please
contact the machinery.
• Pr.3851 = 888800
• Suitable for large programs. The system does not perform simulating
interpretation. After a quick scan of the program, it will be recovered and machine
at where the entered line number or serial number is.
• Recovery status: G90/G91 、G43/G44/G49、G40/G41/G42、
G00/01/02/03/33/34/35、G54/G55..、G51.1/G50.1、G94/G95、G17/G18/G19l

                            Automation Operation Manual

• Description
1. Accumulated Part Count
a. The total number of workpiece processed by the machine.
2. Required Part Count
a. The specified number from a machining program. If system runs machining program with M99, it
stops once the required number of part is reached and informs that the required number is
reached.
3. Part Count
a. Once the program machines with M99, this number will be accumulated until reset
4. Condition to reset part count (clear to 0)
a. Required part count is reached
b. Change machining files
c. Modify the required part count, and the required part count is smaller than part count

Work Record Function

• Condition:
• None
• Description
• Once the program continues machining with M99, work record function will automatically record
it.
• Recording timing:
• Required part count is reached
• Change machining files
• Modify the required part count, and the required part count is smaller than part count

3.4 Alarm Processing

To avoid wrong operation causes danger to human and damage to machine, the system and PLC are equipped
with much of protection. When conditions are reached, system issue warning or alarm to user. This section
introduces how to inspect and troubleshooting alarm.

3.4.1 Emergency Stop

Machine failure or unexpected movements may cause unsafety for human and machine. Pressing emergency
stop button, you can immediately stop the machine. Automation controller does not have a【emergency
stop】 button. To trigger the emergency stop, it needs to be added on the customized screen through
secondary development or an external physical emergency stop button through input point. Because
emergency stop button would stop machine movement, please trouble shooting before you unlock the button.

3.4.2 Alarm Display 

Alarm is basically divided into the pending alarm and history alarm.

Pending Alarm
1. The current state of system alarm.
2. Once an alarm occurs, an alarming window will pop up on screen with current alarm content.
3. Press the far left function key, ESC, to jump out of that window.
