B-64414EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the programmed value, compensation value,
current position, and external signal settings. Also,
never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the operation of the machine. Before starting
a production run, ensure that the machine is operating
correctly by performing a trial run using, for example,
the single block, feedrate override, or machine lock
function, or by operating the machine with neither a tool
nor workpiece mounted. Failure to confirm the correct
operation of the machine may result in the machine
behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to
the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the
intended operation. Generally, for each machine, there
is a maximum allowable feedrate. The appropriate
feedrate varies with the intended operation. Refer to the
manual provided with the machine to determine the
maximum allowable feedrate. If a machine is run at
other than the correct speed, it may behave
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly
check the direction and amount of compensation.
Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data
may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly,
possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or
machine itself, or injury to the user.
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set.
Usually, there is no need to change them. When,
however, there is no alternative other than to change a
parameter, ensure that you fully Failure to set a
parameter correctly may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64414EN/01
CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not touch
any of the keys on the MDI panel until the position
display or alarm screen appears on the CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to
maintenance or other special operations. Pressing any
of these keys may place the CNC unit in other than its
normal state. Starting the machine in this state may
cause it to behave unexpectedly.
2 The operator's manual for FAST Ethernet / FAST Data
Server describes all the basic functions of the CNC,
including the optional functions. The selected optional
functions vary with the machine. Some functions
described in this manual may not, therefore, be
supported by your machine. Check the machine
specifications before using FAST Ethernet / FAST Data
Server.
3 Some machine operations and screen functions are
implemented by the machine tool builder. For an
explanation of their usage and related notes, refer to the
manual provided by the machine tool builder.
For example:
• On some machines, executing a tool function
causes the tool change unit to operate. When
executing a tool function on such a machine, stand
well clear of the tool change unit. Otherwise, there is
a danger of injury to the operator.
• Many auxiliary functions trigger physical
operations, such as rotation of the spindle. Before
attempting to use an auxiliary function, therefore,
ensure that you are fully aware of the operation to be
triggered by that function.
NOTE
Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally,
the contents of memory are not lost by a power on/off
operation. However, the contents of memory may be
erased by mistake, or important data in nonvolatile
memory may have to be erased upon recovering from a
failure.
To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible if
such a situation arises, always make a backup of the
data in advance.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64414EN/01
2 DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS
The Data Server functions use a memory card built into a board for
storing files and can transfer files and perform DNC operation using
FTP.
A Data Server can operate on both FTP client and FTP server.
When you use a Data Server to transfer files, the Data Server operates
as an FTP client and communicates with the FTP server on the host
computer.
When you use the host computer to transfer files, the Data Server
operates as an FTP server and communicates with the FTP client on
the host computer.
NOTE
1 When the host computer operates as an FTP
server, FTP server software must be run on the
host computer. When the host computer operates
as an FTP client, FTP client software must be run
on the host computer.
2 The Program Transfer Tool (drawing number:
A08B-9510-J513 [Version 3 or later]) is available
as a PC tool for transferring NC programs between
the CNC and personal computer. This tool allows
NC programs to be transferred between a personal
computer and CNC memory or Data Server
memory card through a simple operation on the
personal computer side. The transfer of NC
programs between a personal computer and CNC
memory requires the FOCAS2/Ethernet functions,
and that between a PC and Data Server memory
card requires the Data Server functions.

2.1 DATA SERVER FILE MANAGEMENT
With the Data Server functions, you can format the built-in memory
card in the CNC file management mode to manage NC programs.
CNC file management
For NC programs managed in the CNC file management mode,
memory operation such as custom macro commands and M98-based
subprogram calling are available. Operate the NC programs using the
PROGRAM FOLDER screen in the same way as for NC programs in
the CNC memory.
As a CNC external input/output device, DNC operation and
M198-based subprogram calling are available. In this case, operate
NC programs using the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen.

NOTE
1 The Data Server for the Series 0i-D allows editing
and memory operation of NC programs stored on
the memory card, so the method of managing files
on the memory card differs from the file
management method of conventional Data
Servers. Note that, therefore, the memory card of
the Series 0i-D is not compatible with the memory
cards of Data Server models for the Series 0i-C .
2 For operation and details of the DATA SERVER

"OPERATING THE DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS,"
in Part IV, "OPERATION."

B-64414EN/01 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS
2.1.1 File Names of CNC File Management
A file name of CNC file management may be an arbitrary file name of
up to 32 characters.
• Up to 32 characters
• Alphabetic characters (in upper and lower cases), numeric
characters, and four symbols (+, -, _, and .)
NOTE
1 File names are case-sensitive.
2 Any file name or folder name cannot begin with a
period (.).
3 It is impossible to assign the same name to a file
and a folder.
File names and program numbers
When a file name assigned to a file consists of uppercase O and a
numeric value, the file name is treated as a program number.
Values ranging from 1 to 9999 can be used.
A value beyond this range cannot be used for a file name in the
program number format.
Example)
File names that can be used as program numbers
“O0123” Program number 123
“O0001” Program number 1
“O3000” Program number 3000
“O9999” Program number 9999
File names that cannot be used as program numbers
“ABC” (Does not have the format "O plus a numeric value")
“o123” (Does not begin with uppercase letter "O")
“O123.4” (Uses a character other than numeric characters)
NOTE
1 When files on a Data Server are managed by
program number, their program numbers always
consist of "O" plus a 4-digit number. So, even if
there are files managed with different file names
such as "O1" and "O01" on a personal computer,
their program numbers are regarded as the same
when these files are transferred to the Data Server.
2 When a text file assigned an arbitrary file name
other than a program number is input to the CNC
memory, it is necessary to specify the program
number set in the CNC memory.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64414EN/01
2.1.2 Files which can be Created on a Data Server
In the initial status, the maximum number of files which can be
created on a memory card on a Data Server is 2047 and the maximum
file size is 512 MB. Each folder is counted as one file.
The maximum number of files and the maximum file size can be
changed using NC parameter No. 930.
For details, see Section 2.3, "RELATED NC PARAMETERS," in Part
III, "SETTING."
2.1.3 Text Files and Binary Files
You can store the following two types of files on a memory card on a
Data Server: text files and binary files.
For a text file, memory operation and edit operation as well as DNC
operation can be performed by selecting it as a main program.
On the other hand, memory and edit operations cannot be performed
for a binary file.
If NC data other than an NC program is not handled as a binary file, it
may not be able to be input or output correctly. NC data punched and
stored on a memory card on a Data Server from the CNC is
automatically handled as a binary file. A file to be transferred from a
personal computer to a memory card on a Data Server must be
specified explicitly as a binary file.
More specifically, for GET operation on a Data Server operation
screen, you can use soft key [GET] or [BGET] to specify whether to
handle the file as a text file or a binary file.
When the Data Server is used as an FTP server, you can execute an
ASCII (text file) command or a BIN (binary file) command on your
personal computer (FTP client) to specify whether to handle the file as
a text file or a binary file.
NOTE
1 An NC program stored as a text file is converted to
an editable file format so that the file can be edited
on the CNC. For this reason, when a text file is
read from the host computer to the memory card
on the Data Server, then the file is transferred to
the host computer, binary compatibility can no
longer be maintained.
2 In the case of a text file, the file name and program
name are identical. If a file having a program name
different from the file name on the personal
computer side is transferred as a text file, the
program name is replaced by the file name.
Note, however, that only when the file is transferred
through an operation on the CNC side, precedence
can be given to the program name by setting bit 3
(DSF) of NC parameter No. 905.

B-64414EN/01 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS
2.2 DATA SERVER MODES
Each Data Server mode determines the input or output destination
when a Data Server is operated as a CNC external input/output device.
You can select one of the following two modes.
NOTE
Data Server modes are valid only when the Data
Server is operated as an external storage device of
the CNC. In case of main program operation for
editing and a memory operation and an M98-based
subprogram call, programs on the memory card of
the Data Server are selected regardless of the
Data Server mode.
Storage mode
The memory card built into the Data Server is selected as the external
input/output device.
For example, when DNC operation or M198-based subprogram
calling is executed, the relevant NC program is called from the
memory card built into the Data Server.
When input operation is executed for the Data Server, the relevant NC
program is read from the memory card built into the Data Server.
Conversely, when NC program output operation is executed for the

DNC operation
The host computer connected to the Data Server is selected as the
external input/output device.
For example, when DNC operation or M198-based subprogram
calling is executed, the relevant NC program is called from the host
computer.
When input operation is executed for the Data Server, the relevant NC
program is read from the host computer connected to the Data Server.
Conversely, when NC program output operation is executed for the
Data Server, the output NC program is directly written on the host
computer.

CAUTION
1 In the FTP mode, an NC program is transferred
from the host computer to the CNC. For this
reason, if the line is disconnected during
communication for some reason such as noise on
the network, the disconnection directly affects the
CNC operation as compared with the storage
mode. Before DNC operation in the FTP mode,
surely take measures to prevent noise and make
sure that good communication conditions are
present.
2 When feed hold is performed during DNC
operation in the FTP mode, communication with
the host computer may be stopped. In this case,
the host computer may disconnect the
communication. Perform feed hold during a trial
run and completely confirm that the communication
with the host computer is not disconnected.

2.3 OPERATION FROM A DATA SERVER
Memory operation
You can perform memory operation for an NC program on the
memory card built into a Data Server in the same way as for an NC
program in the CNC memory.
You can also supply an NC program simultaneously for a multipath
CNC system.
NOTE
1 When memory operation is performed, a selected
program on the Data Server must be a text file. It is
impossible to use a binary file for memory
operation.
2 Memory and edit operations for the Data Server
can be performed only for NC programs stored in
the memory card built in the Data Server. Memory
and edit operations cannot be performed directly
for files on the host computer.
3 When memory operation is performed using a
program in the Data Server memory card as the
main program, a subprogram in the same folder as
the main program can be called by the M98
subprogram call.
M198 subprogram operation
In the storage mode, you can perform M198 calling from the memory
card built into a Data Server. In the FTP mode, you can perform M198
calling form the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set an M198 folder in
advance. When M198 calling is specified, the set M198 folder is
searched for the target subprogram.
NOTE
M198 subprogram operation cannot be performed
simultaneously for two paths.

DNC operation
In the storage mode, you can perform DNC operation from the
memory card built into a Data Server. In the FTP, you can perform
DNC operation from the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set the file name for DNC
operation in advance. When DNC operation starts, the set DNC
operation file is called.
NOTE
DNC operation cannot be performed for the
second path.
