New Features (Ref.0204in)

Version 5.2 (March 1995)

1. P621(4). DIVIDING FACTOR FOR ELECTRONIC HANDWHEEL FEEDBACK SIGNALS

Machine parameter P621(4) is used with P602(4) and P621(5) which indicate the multiplying factor for the electronic handwheel feedback
signals for the 1st and 2nd axis respectively.

Machine parameter P627(1) indicates whether all handwheel feedback signals are to be divided or not.
P621(4)=0 They are not divided.
P621(4)=1 All handwheel feedback signals are divided by two.

Examples for the X axis so the CNC assumes 100 pulses/turn with 25, 50 and 100 line handwheels:

25 line Fagor handwheel: P602(4)=0 and P621(4)=0 25 x 4 / 1 = 100 lines
50 line Fagor handwheel: P602(4)=1 and P621(4)=0 50 x 2 / 1 = 100 lines
100 line Fagor handwheel: P602(4)=1 and P621(4)=1 100 x 2 / 2 = 100 lines

Version 5.6 (June 1996)

1. JOG WITH MASTER HANDWHEEL

With this feature it is possible to jog the machine with the Master Handwheel once the path has been defined.

Requirements:

The control of the "Jog with Master Handwheel" is carried out with the Second Handwheel. Therefore, the machine must have
two electronic handwheels and none mechanical.

Parameter setting:

Machine parameter "P622(6)" indicates whether this feature is being used or not.

P622(6) = 0 "Jog with Master handwheel" is not available.
P622(6) = 1 "Jog with Master handwheel" is available.

As stated above, the control of the "Jog with Master Handwheel" is carried out with the Second Handwheel. Therefore, the
machine must have two electronic handwheels and none mechanical. This means that:

P621(7)=1 The machine does not use mechanical handwheels.
P622(3)=0 It uses two electronic handwheels.
P609(1)=0 The first handwheel is not a FAGOR 100P model.

The Master handwheel is connected via connector "A4". It admits both sine-wave and square-wave differential signals.
This implies setting the following machine parameters as follows:

P621(6) Counting direction of the "Master Handwheel".
P621(3) Feedback units of the "Master Handwheel".
P621(1,2) Feedback resolution of the "Master Handwheel".
P621(5) Feedback multiplying factor for the "Master Handwheel".

Selection:

a) CNC Models: 800TI and 800TGI. From the PLCI.

Once all machine parameters have been set, PLCI output O39 must be used to enable or disable the "Jog with Master Handwheel"
feature.

Parameter P622(6) PLCI output O39 "Jog with Master Handwheel"

P622(6) = 0 ----- Feature not available
P622(6) = 1 O39 = 0 Feature disabled
P622(6) = 1 O39 = 1 Feature enabled

b) CNC Models: 800T and 800TG. Using pin 11 of connector "I/O 1".

Once all machine parameters have been set, the "Jog with Master Handwheel" input (pin 11 of I/O 1) must be used to enable
or disable the "Jog with Master Handwheel" feature.

Parameter P622(6) Pin 11 I/O1 "Jog with Master Handwheel"

P622(6) = 0 ----- Feature not available
P622(6) = 1 Pin 11 at 0Vdc Feature disabled
P622(6) = 1 Pin 11 at 24Vdc Feature enabled

- 2 -

Basic Operation. (P622(6)=1, O39=1)

a) When the machine is stopped.

Only the first handwheel is enabled, the second one (Master) is disabled.
Therefore, only the X axis may be jogged with the handwheels.

b) When the machine is running (CNC in Execution).

The axes do not start moving until the Master Handwheel is turned.
The axis feedrate depends on the turning speed of the Master Handwheel. If it stops, the axes also stop.
If the Master Handwheel is turned in the opposite direction, the axes also invert their moving direction (Return Function for one

block only).

c) The "Jog with Master Handwheel" feature may be used with any type of execution, be it a cycle, an ISO-coded program, a

Chamfer, etc.

Usually, with the CNC in execution, the first handwheel is disabled, except for the semi-automatic mode of the automatic operations:
"Taper Turning" and "Rounding".

On both Semi-automatic operations, the Master Handwheel controls the feedrate of the tool path and the First Handwheel will
move the X axis.

"Jog with Master Handwheel" feature disabled. (P622(6)=1, O39=0)

When this feature is disabled, PLC output O39 is set to "0" and the handwheels operate like until now (as on previous versions).

2. DYNAMIC GRAPHICS WHILE IN EXECUTION

Until now, with the 800T CNC, a part program could be simulated (verified) graphically before running it.
From now on, it is also possible to display dynamic graphics of the machining path while in execution.

Requirements:

This application requires a 800TG or 800TGI CNC model (G for graphics).

Operation:

When running an Automatic Operation, a Part program, the ISO-coded program in Automatic or Single Block mode, it is now
possible to display the machining path dynamically in the execution stage.

To do this, once the execution has started, the following keys may be pressed:

[4] The CNC displays the graphics screen.
[3] The CNC shows the "Command, Actual and To-go" coordinates of the axes and, at the top of the screen, the values

of the Arithmetic parameters.

[2] The CNC displays the Following Error (axis lag) in large characters.
[1] The CNC displays the actual axis position in large characters.
[0] The CNC returns to the standard display.

3. WORK ZONE / EXCLUSION ZONE

With this feature it is possible to select a predefined zone as work zone or exclusion zone from the PLCI.

Requirements:

This application requires an 800TI or 800TGI CNC model since one must use outputs O46 and O47 of the PLCI to set the zone
as work zone or exclusion zone.

Parameter setting:

Machine parameter "P622(5)" indicates whether the CNC allows setting a work zone or an exclusion zone.

P622(5) = 0 This feature is not available.
P622(5) = 1 This feature is available.

When using this feature "P622(5)=1" the following machine parameters
must also be set to define the zone to be considered either as work zone
or exclusion zone.

P902 Most positive X coordinate
P903 Least positive X coordinate
P904 Most positive Z coordinate
P905 Least positive Z coordinate

The CNC must be turned off and back on in order for the new parameter
values to be assumed.

- 3 -

Selection:

Once all machine parameters have been set, PLCI outputs O46 and O47 must be used to select the predefined zone either as a
work zone or as an exclusion zone.

PLCI Output

O46

O46 = 0 O47 = 0 Feature disabled
O46 = 0 O47 = 1 Zone enabled as Work Zone (No-exit zone)

O46 = 1 O47 = 0 Zone enabled as Exclusion Zone (No-entry zone)
O46 = 1 O47 = 1 Feature disabled

Basic operation. "P622(5)=1"

On power-up, the CNC assumes the zone set by machine parameters "P902, P903, P904 and P905".
Nevertheless, the zone boundaries may be changed via part-program by allocating the new values to the following arithmetic

parameters:

P206 Most positive X coordinate
P207 Least positive X coordinate
P208 Most positive Z coordinate
P209 Least positive Z coordinate

The CNC will then assume these new values; but it will not modify the actual settings of machine parameters "P902, P903, P904
and P905".

On the other hand, it must be kept in mind that, on power-up, the CNC will reset these zone boundaries to the values set by machine
parameters.

PLCI Output

O47

"Work Zone or Exclusion Zone" Feature

As described earlier, this predefined zone may be enabled either as a work zone (no-exit) or as an exclusion zone (no-entry) from
the PLCI by means of outputs O46 and O47.

When set as a work zone, the CNC acts as follows:

• The axes cannot be jogged out of this zone by using the jog keys or the handwheels.

• If attempted to do so during execution, the CNC will issue error 67: «X, Z Limit Error»

When set as an exclusion zone, the CNC acts as follows:

• The axes cannot be jogged into this zone by using the jog keys or the handwheels.

• If attempted to do so during execution, the CNC will issue error 67: «X, Z Limit Error»

4. MANUAL SPINDLE GEAR CHANGERS

Operation on previous versions

To manually change the spindle speed range (gear), machine parameter "P601(1)" had to be set to "0".
When the new selected spindle speed "S" involved a gear change, the CNC displayed a message indicating which

range had to be selected.
The operator had to proceed as follows:

1st- Stop the spindle
2nd- Manually change gears
3rd- Restore spindle rotation
4th- Press [ENTER]

The CNC resumed program execution.

Operation on current and future versions

To manually change the spindle speed range (gear), machine parameter "P601(1)" must set to "0".
When the new selected spindle speed "S" involves a gear change, the CNC displays a message indicating which range

has to be selected.
The operator must proceed as follows:

1st- Manually change gears
2nd- Press [ENTER]

The CNC restores spindle rotation and resumes program execution.

5. VARIABLE BACKLASH COMPENSATION

Until now, the 800T CNC allowed for a single leadscrew backlash compensation.
From now on, it is also possible to compensate for motion-reversal backlash depending on the particular backlash areas of the

axes.

Requirements:

The leadscrew error compensation tables are now used for leadscrew error compensation and for this "Variable Backlash
Compensation" (at the same time).

Parameter setting:

Machine parameters "P622(7)" and "P622(8)" indicate whether this feature is available or not.

P622(7) = 0 Not available for the Z axis.
P622(7) = 1 Available for the Z axis.
P622(8) = 0 Not available for the X axis.
P622(8) = 1 Available for the X axis.

In order to use "Variable Backlash Compensation", regular leadscrew compensation must also be activated.

P605(2) = 0 X axis Leadscrew error compensation (0= No, 1= Yes)
P605(1) = 0 Z axis Leadscrew error compensation (0= No, 1= Yes)

Operation:

The first 15 points of the table are for the positive direction and the other 15 for the negative direction.
When compensating for leadscrew error, the amount of backlash is the difference between both graphs.

When leadscrew error compensation is not to be used, all the values of one of the tables must be set to "0"; thus, the other graph
will correspond to the leadscrew backlash.

Notes: • Both graphs must meet all the requirements of the leadscrew error compensation tables.

• One of these requirements states that the Machine Reference Zero (home) must be assigned an error of "0".

• If the leadscrew has some backlash at this Machine Reference Zero point, that amount of backlash must be allocated

to machine parameter P109 or P309 (Backlash for the X axis or Z axis) and all the remaining points of the table must
be offset by that amount.
Example:

Operation:

When using "Variable Backlash Compensation", the CNC operates with leadscrew error compensation and, therefore, it applies
at all times the backlash compensation set in the table for that point and in the machining direction.

When the axis movement is reversed, the CNC swaps graphs restoring or applying the amount of backlash compensation and
direction corresponding to that point.

Version 5.7 (July 1996)

1. WORK ZONE / EXCLUSION ZONE DETECTION

When using this feature, the CNC prevents the axes from exiting or entering this zone while jogging them with either the jog keys or
the electronic handwheel.

The operator might suspect a malfunction since the CNC does not issue any message. From this version on, in these cases, the CNC
will behave as follows:

* When the zone has been set as a Work Zone, the CNC will set PLCI input I46 high when trying to exit the selected zone.
* When the zone has been set as a Work Zone, the CNC will set PLCI input I46 high when trying to enter the selected zone.

2. RESUME EXECUTION AT MID-PROGRAM

If while a part, the program is interrupted (due to a power failure, etc.), it is now possible to resume execution from the interrupted program
on. This way, there is no longer need to repeat the whole program, thus saving considerable amount of time.

To resume program execution, follow these steps:

1st Select the DRO mode, the one appearing on CNC power-up after the "General Test Passed".

In this mode, no cycle appears selected.

2nd Press [RECALL] to open the part-programs window.
3rd Select the part that was running. Use the up and down arrow keys to position over the desired part program and press

[RECALL] .

4th Use the up and down arrow keys to select the operation being interrupted and press

The CNC will executed the selected operation and it will resume the part-program running it to the end.

Version 6.1 (January 1997)

1. NEW LANGUAGES (Taiwanese and Portuguese)

Machine parameter P99 P99 = 5 Portuguese P99 = 6 Taiwanese

2. MODIFICATIONS ON THE OPERATION WITH A MASTER HANDWHEEL

The operation with the master handwheel is now as follows:

a) When the machine is stopped.

Only the first handwheel is enabled, the second one (master) does not work.
Therefore, only the X axis can be jogged with a handwheel.

b) When the machine is running (CNC in Execution).

Only the Master handwheel is enabled, the first handwheel does not work.
The axes start moving when turning the Master Handwheel.
The feedrate of the axes depend on the turning speed of the Master Handwheel

When the handwheel stops, the machine also stops.
When the Master Handwheel is turned in the opposite direction, the CNC also reverses the moving direction (Retrace Function

of a single block).

c) Semiautomatic Rounding Operation

The Semiautomatic Rounding operation starts when turning the Master Handwheel.
When stopping the Master Handwheel, the execution is interrupted.

When turning the Master handwheel again, execution is resumed. The turning direction of the handwheel cannot be changed.
When the operation is over, the CNC ignores the turning of the Master Handwheel for 1.4 seconds. Thus preventing another

operation from being started.
After this time, when the Master Handwheel is turned, the CNC starts executing a new operation in the indicated direction.

- 6 -

d) Semiautomatic Taper Turning Operation

The Semiautomatic Taper Turning Operation starts when turning the Master Handwheel.
When stopping the Master Handwheel, the execution is interrupted.

When turning the Master handwheel again, execution is resumed.
When turning the Master Handwheel in the opposite direction, the operation is over. A new turn of the Master Handwheel in

any direction implies the execution of a new operation in the indicated direction.

3. SOFTWARE VERSION OF THE CNC

From this version on, when accessing the EPROM checksum screen,

[Auxiliary Modes] [Special Modes] [8]

The CNC will show the checksum of each EPROM and the Software version of the CNC. For example: Version 6.1

Version 6.4 (May 1997)

1. TOOL CHANGE INDICATOR FOR THE PLC (I97)

On machines with a manual tool changer, when the CNC detects that the tool must be changed, it interrupts the execution and it displays
a message for the operator to proceed with the tool change.

Certain precautions must be taken sometimes when changing tools. Those conditions must be handled by the PLC.
Therefore, from this version on, when the CNC displays the tool change warning message, it also activates the PLC input I97 and

it cancels it when the message is removed.

Version 6.6 (November 1997)

Reference point.

When the feedback system has a coded Io, this point is only used when leadscrew error compensation is needed. The leadscrew
error on this point must be "0".

Scale offset setting

The scale offset must be adjusted on one axis at a time. The following procedure is recommended:
* Indicate by parameters "P600(7) & P600(6)" the up or down flank of the marker pulse (Io) of the feedback system.
* Indicate by parameters "P618(8) & P618(7)" the home searching direction for the axes.
* Set parameters "P807 and P808" with the home searching feedrate for the axes.
* Set parameters " P908 and P909" to "0" (scale offset).

Position the axis at the right position and execute the home search command for that axis..

[X] or [Z], [up arrow] keys and

When done with the home search, the CNC will display the axis position with respect to the scale's Zero point.

- 7 -

* After moving the axis to Machine Reference Zero point (home) or up to a known position with respect to home, Jot down the

position reading of the CNC for that known position.
The value to allocate to the machine parameter setting the scale's offset must be calculated with the following formula:

Value = CNC reading at that point - Home coordinate of that point

Example for the X axis: If the known position is physically located at 230 mm from Machine Reference Zero (home) and the

CNC shows that its position is 423.5 mm, the scale offset will be:
Machine parameter P908 = 423.5 - 230 = 193.5 mm.

* After setting the machine parameter with this value, press the [RESET] key so that value is assumed by the CNC.
* A new home search must be carried out for the proper values to be assumed for that axis.

2. THREADING WITH CONSTANT PENETRATION PASSES

From this version on, the penetration of each pass will depend on the sign assigned to parameter ∆∆

When ∆∆ positive, the penetration of each pass depends on the corresponding pass (∆∆ n)
With ∆∆ negative, the penetration passes remain constant with the absolute value of parameter ∆∆

3. GENERATING AN ISO-CODED PROGRAM

With this CNC, the ISO code (low level) for an operation or a part-program may be generated.
To use this feature, machine parameter "P623(2)" must be set to "1".
This ISO program always has the number: 99996 and can be stored either at the CNC or at a PC.
Program 99996 is a special user program in ISO code and can be:

Generated from an operation or a part-program.
Edited at the CNC itself via menu option: "Auxiliary Modes - Edit program 99996"
Loaded into the CNC after being generated at a PC.

Generating the ISO program (99996) at the CNC.

This CNC has 7 K of memory space to store program 99996. If the generated program is larger than that, the CNC will issue the
relevant error message.

To generate program 99996, proceed as follows:
* If it is an operation, select or define the desired operation.
* If it is a part-program, select the desired one in the part-program directory and place the cursor on its header ("PART 01435".

A listing of the operations it consists of must appear).

* Press the keystroke sequence: [AUX] [7]. The CNC will show the graphic simulation screen.
* Press . The CNC starts simulating the part and generating its ISO-coded program 99996.

* When done with the simulation, program 99996 stored in CNC memory will contain all simulated blocks in ISO code.

Generating the ISO program (99996) at a PC

Usually, the 99996 program generated from a part-program exceeds the available memory space of the CNC.
By using "DNC30", this program may be generated at a PC.
To do this, proceed as follows:

* Activate DNC communications and execute the DNC30 program at the PC.
* Select at the PC the menu option: "Program Management - Receive Digitizing".
* At the CNC, select the operation or place the cursor on the part-program header ("PART 01435"). A listing of the operations

it consists of must appear).

* Press [AUX] [8]. The CNC will display the graphic simulation screen.
* Press . The CNC starts simulating the part and generating program 99996.

* When done with the simulation, the 99996 program generated at the PC will contain all the blocks simulated by the CNC in

ISO code.
This program can be executed at the CNC through the menu option: "Execute infinite program" of the DNC30.

4. MACHINE SAFETY REGULATION

This CNC offers the following features to comply with machine safety regulations.

Enabling of the CYCLE START key from the PLC

This feature is available when machine parameter "P619(7)=1"
PLC output O25 indicates whether the CYCLE START key is enabled (=1) or not (=0)

- 8 -

Axes movements affected by Feed-Hold. (It was already available)

Feed-Hold input, pin 15 of connector I/O 1, must be normally high.
If while moving the axes, the Feed-Hold input is brought low, the CNC keeps the spindle turning and stops the axes with 0V or

velocity command (analog signal) and keeping their enables ON.
When this signal is brought back up, the CNC will resume the movement of the axes.

Axes jogging feedrate limited by PLC.

This feature is available when machine parameter "P619(7)=1"
When activating PLC output O26, the CNC assumes the feedrate set by machine parameter "P812"

Version 6.8 (March 1998)

1. NEW LANGUAGES (SWEDISH AND NORWEGIAN)

The languages that can be selected with machine parameter P99 are:

Spanish .......(P99=0) German ....... (P99=1) English ........(P99=2) French ........ (P99=3) Italian..........(P99=4)

Portuguese..(P99=5) Taiwanese... (P99=6) Swedish ......(P99=7) Norwegian .. (P99=8)

2. 1000 LINE ENCODER AS 1250 LINE AS ENCODER

This feature permits the CNC adapt a 1000 line encoder to be used as 1250 line encoder.

P623(7) Adapts the X axis feedback encoder (0=No, 1=Yes)

P623(8) Adapts the Z axis feedback encoder (0=No, 1=Yes)
A typical case: Having a 1000 line for a 5 mm pitch ballscrew .
The calculations necessary to set the axis resolution will be made with the selected pulses (1000 or 1250)

3. CROSS COMPENSATION

Cross compensation is used for compensating the measuring error suffered by the X axis when moving the Z axis.

P623(6) Cross compensation applied on to the X axis (0=No, 1=Yes)
When using cross compensation, no leadscrew compensation may be applied on the X axis (only on to the Z axis) since its

corresponding table is being used for cross compensation with the following values:

P00 = X: ?????.??? P01 = DX: ????.???
in order to properly apply cross compensation, set: P605(2)=1 and P623(6)=1.
Note: The cross compensation table must meet the same requirements as those for the leadscrew error compensation. See section

3.8.4 of the installation manual.

4. PLCI. INPUT I104

When the Feedrate Override Switch on the operator panel is set on one of the handwheel positions (x1, x10, x100), input I104 is set
to "1".

Version 6.9 (February 1999)

1. NEW MACHINE PARAMETER ASSOCIATED WITH M FUNCTIONS

Machine parameter "P620(8)" indicates when the M functions M3, M4 and M5 are to be output during the acceleration and deceleration
of the spindle.

2. CANCEL TOOL OFFSET DURING TOOL CHANGE

From this version on, it is possible to execute, within a subroutine associated with the tool, a "T.0" type block to cancel the tool offset.
This allows to move to a specific position without having to do cumbersome calculations.

It is only possible to cancel (T.0) or change (T.xx) the tool offset. The tool cannot be changed (Txx.xx) within the subroutine associated
with the tool.

- 10 -

3. X1 FACTOR FOR FEEDBACK PULSES

Machine parameters P620(5) and P620(6) are used together with P602(6) and P602(5) which indicate the multiplying factor of the
feedback pulses for the X and Z axes respectively.

They indicate whether x1 factor is applied to the feedback pulses (=1) or not (=0).
P620(5)=0 and P620(6)=0 the x1 factor is NOT applied

P620(5)=1 and P620(6)=1 the x1 factor is applied
Example: We would like to obtain a 0.01 mm resolution with a square signal encoder mounted on the X axis having a leadscrew pitch

of 5mm/turn.

Number of Encoder pulses = leadscrew pitch / (multiplying factor x Resolution)

Con P602(6)=0 and P620(5)=0 x4 multiplying factor Number of pulses = 125

Version 6.10 (March 2002)

1. FEEDBACK FACTOR.

The resolution of the axis is determined by the leadscrew pitch and the number of pulses of the encoder mounted on the motor.
Sometimes, the resolution resulting from the available leadscrew / encoder combination does not match any of the resolution values
allowed for the machine parameters (1, 2, 5, 10 microns or ten-thousandths of an inch).

Example: With a 6 mm/turn leadscrew pitch and a 2500 line encoder, the resulting resolution values are:

Resolution = Leadscrew pitch / ( Nr of encoder pulses x multiplying factor).
With x1 multiplying factor 2.4 micron resolution
With x2 multiplying factor 1.2 micron resolution
With a x4 multiplying factor 0.6 micron resolution

A new axis machine parameter is now available to solve these cases and it is referred to as Feedback Factor in order to adapt the resulting
resolution to the existing setup.

P819 Feedback factor for the X axis P820 Feedback factor for the Y axis P821 Feedback factor for the Z axis

Values between 0 and 65534, a "0" value means that this feature is not being used.
Use the following formula to calculate the "Feedback factor":

Feedback Factor = (Gear ratio x Leadscrew Pitch / Encoder pulses) x 8.192

Examples: Gear ratio 1 1 2 1

Leadscrew Pitch 4000 6000 6000 8000 (microns)
Encoder 2500 2500 2500 2500 (pulses/turn)
Feedback factor 13,107.2 19,660.8 39,321.6 26,214.4

The machine parameters only admit integers, but the Feedback Factor sometimes may have decimals. In those cases, set the machine
parameter to the integer part of that value and use the leadscrew error compensation table to make up for the decimal part.

The values for this table are calculated using the following formula:

Leadscrew position = Leadscrew error (microns) x Integer portion of feedback factor /Decimal portion of feedback factor

In this case: Gear ratio = 1 Pitch = 6000 Encoder = 2500
Feedback factor = 19,660.8 Machine parameter = 19660
For leadscrew error of 20 microns Leadscrew position = 20 x 19,660 / 0.8 = 491,520

The following table is obtained by using this calculation.

Leadscrew position Amount of error at that position
P0 = -1966,000 P1 = -0.080
P2 = -1474,500 P3 = -0.060
P4 = -983,000 P5 = -0.040
P6 = -491,500 P7 = -0.020
P8 = 0 P9 = 0
P10 = 491,500 P11 = 0.020
P12 = 983,000 P13 = 0.040
P14 = 1472,500 P15 = 0.060
P16 = 1966,000 P17 = 0.080

2. PART APPROACHING MOVEMENTS

From this version on, there is a new machine parameter to specify the part
approaching and leaving movements.

P732=0 Like until now, interpolated movement

P732=1 Paraxial movements (one axis at a time) .

Approach: X - Z Exit: Z - X

P732=2 Paraxial movements (one axis at a time) .

Approach: Z - X Exit: X - Z

FAGOR 800T CNC

OPERATING

MANUAL

Ref. 9701 (in)

ABOUT THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL

This manual is addressed to the machine operator.
It includes the necessary information for new users as well as advanced subjects for those who

are already familiar with the 800T CNC product.
It may not be necessary to read this whole manual. Consult the list of "New Features and

Modifications".
This manual explains all the functions of the 800T CNC family. Consult the Comparison Table

for the models in order to find the specific ones offered by your CNC.
Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 show how to operate with this CNC.
This CNC permits machining the "Profile of a part", chapter 6, or perform a series of

"Automatic Operations" detailed in chapter 5. All these machining operations may be carried
out in two ways:

* "Semi-automatically", where the operator controls the movements.
* "Automatically" (Cycle level), where the operator programs the operation and the CNC

executes it automatically.

Chapter 7 "Working with Part-programs" shows how to create parts consisting of Profiles and
Automatic Operations. The Part-programs are stored in the internal CNC memory and may be
sent out to a peripheral device or PC.

Chapter 8 "Programming examples" shows how to edit several part-programs.
There is also an appendix on error codes which indicates some of the probable reasons which

could cause each one of them.

Notes:

The information described in this manual may be subject to variations due to
technical modifications.

FAGOR AUTOMATION, S.Coop. Ltda. reserves the right to modify the contents
of the manual without prior notice.
