MDI
Units
MDI Units are additional devices that are dedicated to FANUC CNCs. You can use Machine Operator's Panels to perform general
machine operations such as moving axes manually in JOG mode, switching between
operation modes, starting and stopping programs and adjusting the feed rate.
The Manual Data Input Mode (MDI) is one of the modes your CNC machine can operate in. The
idea is to enter g-codes on a line which are executed immediately by the
machine–you don't have to write an entire g-code program when a line or two
will suffice. ... With MDI, CNC can be quick and dirty just like manual machining.
MDI
units with the compact ONG layout have alphanumeric keys that are arranged in a
way to simplify the input or modification of part programs. They are
available in different sizes and in 2 variants for machining centers or for
lathes.
MDI
units with the versatile QWERTY layout have the keys arranged like on a
conventional PC keyboard, making it easy to adapt to them. Inputting text,
eg comments in part programs, descriptive tool names etc. is easier with
the familiar QWERTY layout. They are available in different sizes.
All MDI units have operation keys and menu keys which are necessary to input
data and switch between CNC menu screens.

moving axes manually in JOG mode, switching between operation modes, starting
and stopping programs and adjusting the feedrate. The acronym
"MDI" means manual data input device. An MDI Unit is a
keyboard-like device you can use to manually input data into a CNC.
