Pressing the Mould button opens the die parameter setting interface, where users can configure the parameters of upper and lower dies, and also input and set the physical properties of the processed materials. This feature is critical for matching the right die specifications to the processed material, a key factor that directly impacts the accuracy and quality of the final bent workpiece. Correct use of this button effectively avoids processing errors caused by mismatched die and material settings, and maintains consistent high production quality standards.
4. IO Signal Button: Configure the System's Input and Output Parameters
This is the IO signal configuration button.
The IO Signal button plays a pivotal role in configuring the input and output signal points of the bending machine's control system. Clicking this button leads to the IO signal information and status interface, where users can manage the setting parameters of all IO signal points, including configuring the pin connections for each signal point and adjusting their normally open or normally closed working states. Such configuration operations require user verification via the customer code, and proper setup ensures the bending machine can be seamlessly integrated with other equipment and systems in the production line, preventing production interruptions and maintaining smooth and continuous workflow.
5. Program Button: Achieve Efficient Management of Bending Programs
This is a core program management parameter button.
The Program button serves as the entry point to the program management interface, where users can manage all existing bending process programs. Functions such as reading, modifying and deleting programs are available here, which streamlines the production workflow and improves the overall operational efficiency of the machine. This capability enables operators to efficiently manage the machine's program library, allowing for quick switching between different bending processing tasks and maximizing the machine's effective working time.
6. Parameter Button: Advanced System Settings and User Verification

This feature ensures safe and efficient data transmission and backup between the machine and external storage devices, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the control system's data and adapting the machine to diverse production and operational needs.
7. Alarm Button: Real-Time Monitoring and Fault Troubleshooting
This is the machine fault alarm and troubleshooting button.
The Alarm button on the ET Series interface provides instant access to the machine's fault alarm interface, which displays the current fault alarm codes and detailed fault-related information. By clicking this button, operators can use the secondary function buttons to perform operations such as user verification, overdue verification reset and other critical troubleshooting steps, enabling quick identification and resolution of machine faults. This proactive fault monitoring and handling approach not only resolves potential problems in a timely manner, but also reduces machine downtime and extends the service life of machine components by preventing minor faults from developing into serious malfunctions.
8. Compensation Button: Precision Calibration for Bending Operations
This is the precision compensation adjustment button.
Precision is the top priority in bending processing, and the Compensation button on the ET Series interface is a key feature for achieving high-precision bending. Clicking this button enters the precision compensation interface, where users can view and adjust the theoretical and actual compensation values of multiple machine axes—including X, Y1, Y2, R, Z1 and Z2 axes—and also set the angle compensation values for different processed materials.
This comprehensive compensation parameter display and adjustment function allows operators to tailor the machine's processing actions to the specific physical characteristics of the processed materials. In addition, the interface supports user verification via the customer code, and the secondary function buttons enable operations such as deleting compensation data rows, inserting new compensation data, clearing compensation parameter columns and switching parameter display modes, ensuring that every bending operation meets the highest precision standards.
Introduction to Auxiliary Keyboard Functions
1. Input Area: Core for Interface Interaction and Data Entry
The input area is a key component of the auxiliary keyboard, responsible for displaying numerical and character inputs, and enabling seamless interaction between operators and the control interface. It is the dedicated area where users input critical processing data such as workpiece dimensions, process codes and parameter values, which the system then processes and executes to ensure precise bending operations.
2. Reset Button: Clear System Alerts and Prompts
Designed to maintain smooth production workflows, the Reset button is used to clear various prompt messages and alarm notifications that may block critical information in the system's information bar. It is especially useful for managing machine fault alarms and operational warnings, ensuring the user interface remains clear and unobstructed, and that operational procedures are not interrupted by irrelevant prompts.
3. Clear Button: Efficient Management of Input Data
The Clear button is an essential tool for quickly editing and correcting input data in the input area. Whether clearing the content of a single text box or the entire input area, this function allows operators to promptly correct input errors, ensuring the accuracy of process data and the efficiency of the entire processing operation.
4. Enter Button: Confirm Operational Commands and Execute Inputs
The Enter button is a fundamental component of the ET Series interface, playing a key role in confirming operational commands and improving overall operational efficiency.
