Preface
This manual describes operation of E21S numerical control device and is meant for

operators who are instructed for operation of the device. Operator shall read this manual and

know operation requirements before using this device.

Copy right is preserved by ESTUN. It is not allowed to add or delete part or all of the

manual content without ESTUN’s consent. Do not use part or all of manual content for the third

party’s design.

E21S device provides complete software control and has no mechanical protection device

for operator or the tool machine. Therefore, in case of malfunction, machine tool must provide

Single-step programming is generally used for processing single step to finish work piece

processing. When controller is power on, it will automatically enter single-step program page.

Operation steps

Step 1 After starting up, the device will enter setting up page of single-step program

automatically, as shown in Figure 2-2.
