It takes into account the tool radius compensation (functions G41,
G42) thus drawing the tool center path.
It sends the M, S, T functions to the PLC.
It starts the spindle, if programmed.
The axes move at maximum feedrate F0 regardless of the F that was programmed and it may be varied with the Feedrate Override switch.
2 Sampling period
From this version on, on the 8055/C and 8055i/C models that do not have the CPU turbo, it is possible to set a sampling period of 2 milliseconds g.m.p. “LOOPTIME (P72)”.
The following values may be allocated to plc.m.p. "CPUTIME (P26) that sets the time the System CPU dedicates to the PLC when programming a "LOOPTIME = 2 ms":
CPUTIME = 0 1 ms every 8 samplings, every 16 ms

13 New range of OEM subroutines.
A new range of OEM subroutines has now been defined.
Available subroutine ranges:
General subroutines |
SUB 0001 - SUB 9999 |
|
|
OEM subroutines |
SUB 10000 - SUB 20000 |
|
|
Although OEM subroutines are treated like the general ones, the have the following restrictions:
•They can only be defined in OEM programs, having the [O] attribute. Otherwise, it shows error 63 "Program subroutine number between 1 and 9999.".
•If the subroutine to be executed using CALL, PCALL or MCALL is an OEM subroutine and it is located in a program that does not the [O] attribute, it will issue Error 1255 "Subroutine restricted to OEM program".
14 RPT instruction with program number definition
From this version on, the RPT instruction can execute a portion of the same program or of the indicated program.
(RPT N(expression), N(expression), P(expression))
The new parameter "P" indicates the number of the program located in RAM memory containing the two blocks defined by the N labels.
•If parameter "P" is not defined, the CNC interprets that the portion to be repeated is located in the same program.
•If the defined program number does not exist, it issues Error 69 "Program does not exist".
Warning:
i |
Since the RPT instruction does not interrupt block preparation or tool |
compensation, it may be used when using the EXEC instruction and |
|
while needing to maintain tool compensation active. |

15 Improved non-random tool magazine management
When the tool changer is configured as non-random, the tools must be placed in the tool magazine table in the pre-established order (P1 T1, P2 T2, P3 T3, P4 T4, etc.).
With this improvement, it is possible to assign several tools to each tool position.
TOOLMATY (P164) This g.m.p. is taken into account when using a non-random tool magazine. It indicates how many tools may be assigned to each turret position.
0One tool per position

From this version on, it also possible to save and load into a peripheral device or PC the drive parameter tables via Sercos serial line.
For that, select the parameter page of the desired drive at the CNC and press the relevant softkey.
A file saved from the CNC via WINDNC may be loaded into the drive via DDSSETUP and vice versa.
17 User and OEM arithmetic parameters
There are now two new ranges of global arithmetic parameters.
User parameters |
Range: P1000 |
- P1255. |
OEM parameters |
Range: P2000 |
- P2255 |
For compatibility with previous versions, global arithmetic parameters P100-P299 are maintained and may be used by the user, by the OEM and by the CNC cycles.
There are now 2 new tables of global arithmetic parameters.
|
Arithmetic parameter tables available: |
|
GUP |
Global parameters |
P100-P299 |

|
|
|
OEP |
OEM parameters |
P2000 - P2255 |
|
|
|
Changing an OEM parameter requires an OEM password.
OEM parameters and subroutines having OEM parameters may only be written in OEM programs having the [O] attribute.
On the MC and MCO models, when using OEM parameters in the configuration programs, these programs must have the [O] attribute. If they don't, an error will be issued when editing a user cycle that refers to OEM parameters in write mode.
General machine parameters “ROPARMIN” and “ROPARMAX” may be used to protect any global parameter (user and OEM included) against being written.
There is no restriction to read these parameters.
18 Exponential type of leadscrew backlash peak
The additional command pulse used to make up for the possible leadscrew backlash in movement reversals may be rectangular or exponential.
If the duration of the rectangular pulse is adjusted for low speed, it could be excessive for high speed or insufficient for low speed when adjusted for high speed.
In this cases, it is recommended to use the exponential type that applies a strong pulse at the beginning and decreases in time.
Page 10 of 48
Bit 16 of g.m.p. “ACTBAKAN (P144)” indicates the backlash peak being used.
0rectangular leadscrew backlash peak
1exponential type of leadscrew backlash peak
By default 0
A finer tuning of the leadscrew backlash consists in testing the circle geometry and watch for internal peaks when changing quadrants (left figure). In these cases, it is recommended to set bit 15 of g.m.p. “ACTBAKAN (P144)” to "1" to eliminate the internal peaks.
Under these conditions, the CNC eliminates the leadscrew backlash peak as soon as it detects a movement reversal. If the internal peaks are not eliminated, adjust the leadscrew backlash compensation better.
ACTBAKAN (P144) It has 16 bits counted from left to right.

19 Functions associated to machine safety
19.1 Limit the feedrate of the axes and the spindle speed
It is possible to limit the feedrate of the axes and the spindle turning speed.
FLIMIT (P75) The a.m.p. "FLIMIT" sets the maximum feedrate for each axis and SLIMIT (P66) the s.m.p. "SLIMIT" sets the maximum turning speed for each
spindle.
FLIMITAC (M5058) When the PLC sets this signal high, it limits the feedrate of all the axes. It does not let any feedrate to exceed the value set by the corresponding a.m.p. "FLIMIT (P75)" .
SLIMITAC (M5059) When the PLC sets this signal high, it limits the speed of all the spindles. It does not let any feedrate to exceed the value set by the corresponding s.m.p. "SLIMIT (P66)" .
The limitation is applied in all work modes, including the PLC channel. When the mark is high, the CNC applies the limitation and when going low, it restores the programmed F or S.

When the spindle moves with PLCCNTL, the spindle limitation is ignored.
19.2 Cycle Start disabled by hardware errors
If when pressing the Cycle-Start key, a hardware error is detected (Sercos board error, CAN board error, etc.), the CNC issues the corresponding error message and does not allow executing or simulating the program.
19.3 Maximum spindle machining speed.
To limit the spindle speed, use the MDISL variable associated with speed limits. It is read-write from the PLC and read-only from DNC and CNC.
This variable is also updated with the programmed S value, in the following cases:
•When programming "G92 S" in MDI mode
•When programming "G92 S" in ISO code in MC mode.
•In MC mode, when a new speed limit is defined in the "SMAX" field.
The speed limits entered via CNC, PLC (PLCSL) and DNC (DNCSL) keep the same functionality and priority unaffected by the new MDISL variable; in other words, the CNC keeps limiting the spindle speed like until now.
In order to comply with the safety regulation, it is recommended to manage from the PLC the variables associated with speed limits as shown in the following example:
•A new part-program cannot be executed without previously entering the speed limit. Otherwise, a message will be displayed.
If the program is executed again, the limit does not have to be entered again, it is only required when executing the program for the first time.
•While executing a program if a new limit is entered in MDI, the new one will replace the previous one.
•In independent MC cycles it is not required to enter the SMAX because it is already defined in each cycle.
•If the program being executed already has a G92S, it will be validated only if it is smaller than the one programmed in MDI.
•When having two main spindles, the speed limit entered will be valid for both.

20 Axes (2) controlled by a drive
Until this version, when having 2 axes controlled by a single drive, the polarity of the analog output (command sign) always corresponded to that of the main axis.
From this version on, since sometimes the turning direction of the two axes may be different, the sign of the command for each axis will taken into account [the one set by a.m.p “LOOPCHG (P26)”].
Warning
This new version is not compatible with previous versions.
On machines having axes controlled by a single drive the secondary axis might run away.
Before installing the new software, make sure that the a.m.p. "LOOPCHG (P26)" of the associated axis has the same value as that of the main axis.
21 Mandatory home search
The CNC forces a home search on an axis by setting the relevant
REFPOIN* mark low in the following cases:
•On CNC power-up
•After executing SHIFT RESET
•When the feedback is direct through the axes board and a feedback alarm occurs.

Change of active tool from the PLC
•When losing feedback count via Sercos due to broken communication. Difference greater than 10 microns (0.00039") or 0.01º
•When changing machine parameters that affect the memory distribution, for example: number of axes.
In all these cases, a home search must be carried out so the signal is set back high.
22 Change of active tool from the PLC
If the tool change process is interrupted, the values of the tool magazine table and active tool may not reflect the machine's reality.
To update the tool table, variables TOOL, NXTOOL, TOD and NXTOD that until now were read-only are now read-write from the PLC as long as a block or a part-program is not being executed or simulated.
TOOL |
Number of the active tool |
|
|
NXTOOL |
Number of the next tool that is selected, but waiting for the |
|
execution of an M06 to become active. |
|
|
TOD |
Number of the active tool offset |
|
|
NXTOD |
Number of the offset of the next tool that is selected, but |
|
waiting for the execution of an M06 to become active. |
|
|
This way, it is possible to resume the tool change from the PLC and redefine the tool table according to their positions using the TMZT variable.
To allocate a magazine position to the tool that is considered active by the CNC and is physically in the tool magazine, proceed as follows:
1.Cancel the tool, TOOL=0 and TOD=0
2.Assign the relevant position using the TMZT variable.
When trying to write in variables TOOL, NXTOOL, TOD and NXTOD check the OPMODA variable to make sure that no block or partprogram is being executed or simulated. The following bits must be at "0".
OPMODA
bit 0 Program in execution bit 1 Program in simulation
bit 2 Block in execution via MDI, JOG bit 8 Block in execution via CNCEX1
23 Synchronize a PLC axis with a CNC axis
To synchronize an axis of the PLC channel with another one of the CNC channel (main channel), set a.m.p. SYNCHRO (P3) of the PLC axis indicating which axis it must synchronize with.
Axis synchronization is carried out from the PLC by activating the general input "SYNCHRO" of the axis to be coupled as slave (PLC axis).
To assure that both axes are stopped when they are being synchronized, we suggest:
Page 14 of 48
•To execute a special M function at the CNC so the PLC executes another M function in the PLC channel and activates the general input "SYNCHRO".
•The M function of the main channel must not end until the PLC's M function execution is completed and the ENABLE signal of the slave axis is set high.
Once both axes are synchronized, it won't be possible to program movements of the PLC axis. Otherwise, error 1099 will be issued: "Do not program a slaved axis".
During synchronization, it does not check whether the PLC axis gets in position or not. For this reason:
•The logic output "ENABLE" of the PLC axis is activated (allowing motion).
•The logic output "INPOS" of the PLC axis is deactivated (the axis is NOT in position).
•General input "INHIBIT" of the PLC axis is ignored, thus not being possible to prevent it from moving.
•The execution of the movement of the synchronized slave axis cannot be aborted even by activating the general input "PLCABORT".
If an error occurs canceling the "ENABLE" logic outputs of all the axes, it also cancels the synchronization.
To end synchronization, cancel the "SYNCHRO" general input of the
PLC axis.
To assure that the PLC axis recovers its position after the synchronization, it is recommended to use other 2 special M functions, one at the CNC and another one at the PLC.
24 Error register
The "CNC" screen of the "STATUS" mode offers the softkey: [BB].
Pressing this softkey displays the error history indicating the error number and when it occurred.
This information is very useful to the service technician. Pressing the [SAVE] softkey requests the number of the CNC program to store that information.
If the service department asks you for that program, transfer it to a
PC via DNC and send it to the corresponding address via internet.
25 Path JOG mode
It is similar to the "Path Handwheel" mode.
The "Path Handwheel" mode acts at the Handwheel position of the selector switch whereas the "Path JOG" acts at the continuous and incremental jog positions of the selector switch.
"Path JOG" may be used to act upon the jog keys of an axis to move both axes of the plane at the same time for chamfering (straight sections) and rounding (curved sections).
The CNC assumes as "Path JOG" the keys associated with the X axis.

To turn on or off the "Path JOG" work mode, use CNC logic input “MASTRHND” M5054,
M5054 = 0 "Path JOG" function off.
M5054 = 1 "Path JOG" function on.
To indicate the type of movement, use CNC logic input “HNLINARC” M5053
M5053 = 0 Linear Path
M5053 = 1 Circular path.
For a linear path, indicate the path angle in the MASLAN variable (value in degrees between the linear path and the first axis of the plane)
For an arc, indicate the arc center coordinates in the MASCFI, MASCSE variables (for the first and second axes of the main plane)
Variables MASLAN, MASCFI and MASCSE may be read and written from the CNC, DNC and PLC.

|
The rest of the keys always operate the same way regardless of whether the "Path JOG" function is on or off. It only moves the selected axis and in the indicated direction.
Considerations
It assumes as axis feedrate the one selected in JOG mode and it is affected by the override. If F0 is selected, it assumes the one indicated by a.m.p. “JOGFEED (P43)”. The [Rapid] key is ignored.
The movements in "Path JOG" observe the travel limits and zone boundaries
The movements in "Path JOG" may be aborted:
•By pressing the [CYCLE STOP] key
•By selecting one of the handwheel positions of the JOG selector switch.
Page 16 of 48
•By setting the general logic input “MASTRHND (M5054)” =0.
•Setting the general logic input “\STOP (M5001)”=0.
26 Tool inspection
The tool inspection mode now offers a new option: "Modify Offsets". This window shows (at the top) a help graphic and the tool fields that can be edited.
When editing the active tool, it is possible:
To modify the I and K data.
Select another tool for calibration (T xx Enter).
When NOT editing the active tool, it is possible:
To modify the I, K and D data.
Select another tool for calibration (T xx Enter).
The I and K values The values entered in the I, K fields are incremental, they are added to the ones already in the table. The "I" data is given in diameter.
The new g.m.p. “MAXOFFI (P165)” and “MAXOFFK (P166)” indicate the maximum value that may be entered in each field. When trying to enter a greater value, the relevant message will be displayed.
Warning
To assume the new I and K values, select the tool again.
27 New instructions in the configuration language
The new token "UNMODIFIED" of the configuration language indicates that the associated element must not take the editing focus.
;(UNMODIFIED) It is programmed as a prefix of the instructions
;(W1=GUP100)
It may be used to associate the "W1" data with the value of a global parameter, variable or resource of the PLC and the "W1" element is assigned the editing focus.
;(AUTOREFRESH W6=FLWEX)
It refreshes (updates) the value of the graphic element W6 and it assigns the editing focus to it.
The resulting new instructions are:
;(UNMODIFIED W1=GUP170)
It associates the "W" data with the value of a global parameter, variable or resource of the PLC, but the "W1" element does not take the editing focus.
;(UNMODIFIED AUTOREFRESH W6=FLWEX)
It refreshes (updates) the value of the graphic element W6 but it does not take the editing focus.

28 Improvements in tool compensation
COMPTYPE (P74) From this version on, this g.m.p. has two digits.
The units set the beginning and end of radius compensation applied by the CNC (like it was before).
x0 It approaches the starting point going around the corner x1 it goes directly perpendicular to the point (without going
around the corner)
COMPTYPE= x0 |
COMPTYPE= x1 |
The tens indicate whether the additional block of the compensation is executed at the end of the current block or at the beginning of the next block with compensation.
00It is executed at the end of the current block (like in previous versions).
Executing block by block (single block mode), the first movement ends at point "B".
10It is executed at the beginning of the next block with compensation
Executing block by block (single block mode), the first movement ends at point "A".
By default COMPTYPE=00
When the beginning or end of the compensation takes place to a different plane (there is an intermediate vertical movement) and at an angle greater than 270º it is recommended to check the CNC's behavior as shown next:
At the beginning of the compensation, the tool should be positioned before penetrating into the part. The additional block must be
Page 18 of 48
executed in the upper plane and therefore together with the first block “COMPTYPE=00”.
At the end of the compensation, the tool should withdraw from the part without penetrating into it. The additional block must be executed in the upper plane and therefore together with the second block “COMPTYPE=10”.
29 Improvements in high speed machining
The number of blocks analyzed in advance (look-ahead) has been increased. From 50 blocks to 75.
The extreme cases have been improved, such as small blocks (of a few microns) in order to machine faster and more smoothly.
Jerk control can now be applied in Look-ahead, g.m.p. “JERKACT (P160) and TLOOK (P161)”.
Using Jerk in Look-ahead, a trapezoidal acceleration profile is applied with a ramp slope equivalent to the maximum jerk of the axis.
The maximum jerk depends on the value assigned to a.m.p. “JERKLIM (P67)” of that axis and of the axes involved in the programmed path.
JERKACT (P160) This parameter has 16 bits counted from left to right.
Bit 16 indicates whether to apply Jerk control in Look-ahead or not.

If "Jerk Control in look ahead" has been selected, the CNC analyzes the a.m.p “JERKLIM (P67)” of each axis. During look-ahead, the CNC assumes, for the axes with “JERKLIM (P67)=0”, the value suggested in that parameter.
TLOOK (P161) Real block processing time for look-ahead.
If assigned a value smaller than the real one, the machine will vibrate and if assigned a value greater than the real one the machining slows down.

This value is calculated as follows:
Execute, in G91 and G51 E0.1, a program with many small blocks, at least 1000. For example: “X0.01 Y0.01 Z0.01”.
Measure the program execution time, making sure that the machine does not vibrate. Divide the execution time by 1000 (or the number of blocks executed) and assign the resulting value, in microseconds, to g.m.p. "TLOOK (P161)".
We recommend the use of the oscilloscope function and verify that the internal variable VLOOKR remains constant which means that there is no vibration.

31 Improvement in the tool measuring cycle PROBE1
In previous version, this cycle only calibrated the length of the tool (see section 12.3 of the programming manual).
From this version on, it may be used:
•To calibrate the tool length.
•To calibrate the tool radius.
•To calibrate the tool radius and length.
•Measure the tool length wear.
•Measure the tool radius wear.
•Measure the tool radius wear and length wear.
The programming cycle for the PROBE1 cycle is:
(PROBE 1, B, I, F, J, K, L, C, D, E, S, M, C, N, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
Parameters X, U, Y, V, Z, W
They are optional parameters that are not usually necessary.
On certain machines, due to lack of mechanical positioning repeatability of the probe's, the probe must be calibrated before each tool calibration.
Instead of redefining machine parameters PRBXMIN, PRBXMAX, PRBYMIN, PRBYMAX, PRBZMAX, PRBZMIN every time the probe is calibrated, those coordinates may be indicated in variables X, U, Y, V, Z, W, respectively.
The CNC does not modify the machine parameters and only takes into account the coordinates indicated in X, U, Y, V, Z, W during this calibration.
If any of the X, U, Y, V, Z is left out, the CNC takes the value assigned to the corresponding machine parameter.
31.1 Measure or calibrate the tool length.
Parameter "I" defines where the measurement or calibration will be carried out:
I0 On the tool shaft.
I1 On the tool tip.
If not programmed, the canned cycle takes the value I0 (on the tool shaft).

Once the calibration cycle has ended
It updates global arithmetic parameter P298 and assigns the measured radius to the tool offset selected in the tool offset table.
P298 = measured radius - previous radius (R+I)
R = measured radius

If the dimension of each cutting edge was requested, "N" parameter, the measured values are assigned to global arithmetic parameters P251 and on.
Once the wear measuring cycle has ended
When using tool life monitoring, it compares the measured value with the theoretical radius assigned in the table.
If the maximum allowed is exceeded, it issues a "tool rejected" message and acts as follows:
C0 It interrupts the execution for the user to select another tool.
The cycle replaces the tool with another one of the same family.
C1
It sets the "rejected tool " indicator (status = R)
It activates the general logic output PRTREJEC (M5564)
If the measuring difference does not exceed the maximum allowed or tool life monitoring is not available:
•It updates global arithmetic parameter P298 and the radius wear value of the tool offset selected in the tool offset table.
P298 = measured radius - theoretical radius (R)
R = theoretical radius (it maintains the previous value).
I = measured radius - theoretical radius (R) [New wear value]
If the dimension of each cutting edge was requested, "N" parameter, the measured values are assigned to global arithmetic parameters P271 and on.

Parameters J, L, D, E, S, M, C, N are optional. If not programmed, the following values are assumed:
J0 (calibration). L0 (the tool is not rejected due to length wear). D= tool radius (length probing is carried out on the tip). E0, S0 (spindle stopped). M0 (the tool is not rejected due to radius wear). C0 (interrupts the execution for the user to select another tool). N0 (the cutting edges are not measured separately).
Once the calibration cycle has ended
It uses global arithmetic parameters P298, P299 and assigns the measured length and radius to the tool offset selected in the tool offset table.
P298 |
= measured radius - previous radius (R+I) |
P299 |
= measured length - previous length (L+K) |
R |

If the dimension of each cutting edge was requested, parameter "N", the measured lengths are assigned to global arithmetic parameters P271 and on, and the measured radii to global arithmetic parameters P251 and on.
Once the wear measuring cycle has ended
When using tool life monitoring, it compares the measured radius and length values with the theoretical values assigned in the table.
If the maximum allowed is exceeded in any of them, it issues a "tool rejected" message and acts as follows:
C0 It interrupts the execution for the user to select another tool.
The cycle replaces the tool with another one of the same family.
C1
It sets the "rejected tool " indicator (status = R)
It activates the general logic output PRTREJEC (M5564)

Oscilloscope
function
If the measuring difference does not exceed the maximum allowed or tool life monitoring is not available:
•It updates global arithmetic parameter P298, P299 and the length and radius wear values of the tool offset selected in the tool offset table.
P298 = measured radius - theoretical radius (R)
P299 = measured length - theoretical length (L)
R = theoretical radius (it maintains the previous value).
I = measured radius - theoretical radius (R) [New wear value]
L = theoretical length (it maintains the previous value).
K = measured length - theoretical length (L) [New wear value]
If the dimension of each cutting edge was requested, parameter "N", the lengths are assigned to global arithmetic parameters P271 and on, and the radii to global arithmetic parameters P251 and on.
32 Oscilloscope function
|
The oscilloscope function is a help tool to adjust the CNC and the |
|
drives. |
|
It is possible to represent 4 previously selected variables and |
|
manipulate CNC machine parameters and variables. When using |
|
Fagor Sercos drives, it is also possible to set the parameters of the |
|
drive. |
|
When requesting information (variable or parameter) of a drive that |
|
is not connected via Sercos or when having an old software version, |
|
the message "Variable does not exist" will be displayed. |
|
Changing the machine parameters of the CNC and the drive |
|
requires a password. |
How to operate |
To access the Oscilloscope mode, select: |
|
Op Mode - Diagnosis - Adjustements - Scope |
|
Define the variables to be analyzed, the trigger conditions and the |
|
machine parameters of the CNC or the drive to be modified. |
|
Execute a part-program moving the axis or axes to be adjusted. |
|
Capture data and then analyze it. |
|
Once data capture has ended, or has been interrupted, it is possible |
|
to analyze the signals and modify the parameters that have been |
|
previously selected, in order to improve the machining conditions. |
|
Capture data, analyze it and modify the parameters again until |
|
achieving the best machining conditions. |
Suggestions |
Execute endless repetitive movements. |
|
After adjusting the axis separately, readjust the interpolating axes |
|
together. |
|
It is up to the user to judge what the best adjustment is, the |
|
oscilloscope function is an assistance tool. |
Operation |
To enter or modify a data on the screens, it must be selected and it |
|
must have the editing focus. |
