It's the information the PMC uses to run. The tables that contain this data can be found under system > PMC > PMC > PRM

You have just reloaded the PMC parameters.

Can you please explain a little bit more what each of the following do..

Counters
keepers
Timers
Data

Is it safe to assume that counters report to the turrett etc??/

thanks Chips..

Timers = they are timers in the PMC. i.e if you use hydraulic clamps, you might want a 0.5 - 1 second delay to make sure pressure is there.

Counters - rarely used, but them simply count up, tool life etc.

Keep relays - (K0.0-K30.0) they are used to make somethings in the pmc switchable, bit like a push button on the panel. Set the keep relay to 1 and its on, 0 is off.

Data table - this is used to store binary, hexidecimal and bcd values, normally the results of calculations or checks made in the PMC.
