MAGNETIC CABINET
3. INSTALLATION
When a cabinet is designed, it must satisfy the environmental conditions
described in Section 3.1. In addition, the magnetic interference on the
screen, noise resistance, and maintenance requirements must be
considered. The cabinet design must meet the following conditions :
D The cabinet must be fully closed.
The cabinet must be designed to prevent the entry of airborne
dust,coolant,and organic solvent.
D The cabinet must be designed so that the permissible temperature of
each unit is not exceeded. For actual heat design, see Section 3.4.
D A closed cabinet must be equipped with a fan to circulate the air
within. (This is not necessary for a unit with fan.)
The fan must be adjusted so that the air moves at 0.5 m/sec along the
surface of each installed unit.
CAUTION
If the air blows directly from the fan to the unit, dust easily
adheres to the unit. This may cause the unit to fail. (This
is not necessary for a unit with fan.)
D For the air to move easily, a clearance of 100 mm is required between
each unit and the wall of the cabinet. (This is not necessary for a unit
with fan.)
D Packing materials must be used for the cable port and the door in order
to seal the cabinet.
D The display unit must not be installed in such a place that coolant
would directly fall onto the unit. The control unit has a dust–proof
front panel, but the unit should not be placed in a location where
coolant would directly fall onto it.
D Noise must be minimized.
As the machine and the CNC unit are reduced in size, the parts that
generate noise may be placed near noise–sensitive parts in the
magnetics cabinet.
The CNC unit is built to protect it from external noise. Cabinet design
to minimize noise generation and to prevent it from being transmitted
to the CNC unit is necessary. See section 3.5 for details of noise
elimination/management.
D When placing units in the cabinet, also consider ease of maintenance.
The units should be placed so that they can be checked and replaced
easily when maintenance is performed.
D The hard disk drive and floppy disk drive must not be installed near
D The installation conditions of the I/O unit and connector panel I/O
module must be satisfied.
To obtain good ventilation in the module, the I/O unit and connector
panel I/O module must be installed in the direction shown in the
following figure. Clearances of 100 mm or more both above and
below the I/O unit are required for wiring and ventilation.
Equipment radiating too much heat must not be put below the I/O unit
and connector panel I/O module.

Bottom
Connector panel I/O module or
I/O base unit
(No screws or protrusions shall
extend from the bottom of this
unit.)
The internal air temperature of the cabinet increases when the units and
parts installed in the cabinet generate heat. Since the generated heat is
radiated from the surface of the cabinet, the temperature of the air in the
cabinet and the outside air balance at certain heat levels. If the amount
of heat generated is constant, the larger the surface area of the cabinet, the
less the internal temperature rises. The thermal design of the cabinet
refers to calculating the heat generated in the cabinet, evaluating the
surface area of the cabinet, and enlarging that surface area by installing
heat exchangers in the cabinet, if necessary. Such a design method is
described in the following subsections.
The cooling capacity of a cabinet made of sheet metal is generally 6 W/°C
per 1m
cabinet having a surface area of 1 m
cabinet rises by 1°C. In this case the surface area of the cabinet refers to
the area useful in cooling , that is, the area obtained by subtracting the area
of the cabinet touching the floor from the total surface area of the cabinet.
There are two preconditions : The air in the cabinet must be circuited by
the fun, and the temperature of the air in the cabinet must be almost
constant.The following expression must then be satisfied to limit the
difference in temperature between the air in the cabinet and the outside air
to 13°C or less when the temperature in the cabinet rises:
Internal heat loss P [W] x
6[W/m
(A cooling capacity of 6 W/°C assumes the cabinet is so large that
agitation with the fan motor does not make the temperature distribution
uniform. For a small cabinet like the operator’s panel, a cooling capacity
of 8 W/°C, indicated in Subsection 3.4.4, may be used.)
For example, a cabinet having a surface area of 4m
of 24W/°C. T o limit the internal temperature increase to 13°C under these
conditions, the internal heat must not exceed 312W. If the actual internal
heat is 360W, however, the temperature in the cabinet rises by 15°C or
more. When this happens, the cooling capacity of the cabinet must be
improved using the heat exchanger.
For the power magnetic cabinet containing a stand–alone type control
unit, the internal temperature rise must be suppressed to 10°C or less,
instead of 13°C.

The CNC has been steadily reduced in size using surface–mount and
custom LSI technologies for electronic components. The CNC also is
designed to be protected from external noise. However, it is difficult to
measure the level and frequency of noise quantitatively, and noise has
many uncertain factors. It is important to prevent both noise from being
generated and generated noise from being introduced into the CNC. This
precaution improves the stability of the CNC machine tool system.
The CNC component units are often installed close to the parts generating
noise in the power magnetics cabinet. Possible noise sources into the
CNC are capacitive coupling, electromagnetic induction, and ground
loops.
When designing the power magnetics cabinet, guard against noise in the
machine as described in the following section.
The cables used for the CNC machine tool are classified as listed in the
following table:

The AC/DC solenoid and relay are used in the power magnetics cabinet.
A high pulse voltage is caused by coil inductance when these devices are
turned on or off.
This pulse voltage induced through the cable causes the electronic circuits
to be disturbed.
D Use a spark killer consisting of a resistor and capacitor in series. This
type of spark killer is called a CR spark killer.(Use it under AC)
(A varistor is useful in clamping the peak voltage of the pulse voltage,
but cannot suppress the sudden rise of the pulse voltage. FANUC
therefore recommends a CR spark killer.)

If a cable connected to the CNC, servo amplifier, spindle amplifier, or
other device requires shielding, clamp the cable as shown below. The
clamp both supports and shields the cable. Use this clamp to ensure stable
operation of the system.
Partially peel out the sheath and expose the shield. Push and clamp by
the plate metal fittings for clamp at the part. The ground plate must be

To protect the devices from surge voltages due to lightening, it is
recommended to install surge–absorbing elements between the lines of
the input power and between one line and ground. This does not,
however, assure protection from all surges due to lightening.
The recommended items are as follows. (Items made by Okaya Denki

The control unit has a built–in fan motor.
Air enters the control unit through the bottom and is drawn through the
fan motor which is located on the top of the control unit.
Space (A), shown in Fig. 3.6.1, must be provided to ensure unrestricted
air flow. Also, space (B) should be provided whenever possible. When
space (B) cannot be provided, ensure that nothing is placed in the
immediate vicinity which could obstruct the air flow.
The control unit is equipped with a fan motor.
Air is fed into the bottom of the unit and output from the fan motor
mounted on the top of the unit.
The spaces shown in Fig. 3.6.2 (areas (A) and (B)) are always required to
ensure smooth air flow.
Also, adequate service access space is required in front of and at the top
of the unit so that printed circuit boards and the fan motor can be replaced
easily if necessary.
There is a spare connector located at the far end (at middle height) on the
right side of the control unit. This connector is used for controller testing
and other purposes. Therefore, space (area (C)) for handling the
connector is required.

component names in Section 1.1.
The cabinet and pendant box that house a display and a operator’s panel
that are to be designed and manufactured by the machine tool builder are
susceptible to dust, cutting debris, oil mist, etc. Note the following and
make sure that they are structured to prevent their entry.
1) The cabinet and pendant box must be of a hermetically sealed
structure.
2) Apply packing to the panel mounting surface to which a display and
operator’s panel are to be mounted.
3) Make sure that the door packing of the cabinet and pendant box is
sealed firmly.
4) For a cabinet or pendant box with a rear cover, apply packing to the
mounting surface.
5) Make sure that the cable entrance is sealed with packing, connectors
for conduits, etc.
6) Make sure that all other openings are blocked, if any.
7) Make sure that the display and operator’s panel do not receive cutting
debris and coolant directly.
8) Oil can easily stay on the top of the cabinet and pendant box, possibly
dripping down the display and operator’s panel. Make sure that the
cabinet and pendant box is of such a structure that oil do not collect
or that oil do not drip down the display or panel.

Supply power (24VDC) to the control uint of i series CNC from an
external sources.
Provide ON/OFF circuit A for turning the AC power on and off or
ON/OFF circuit B for turning 24 VDC on and off outside the unit as
shown in Fig. 4.2.1 (a). It is recommended that the AC power be turned
on and off (ON/OFF circuit A).
When the i series CNC with PC functions is used, apply countermeasures
to guard against the possible destruction of hard disk storage due to
momentary power failure or power outage, by installing an
uninterruptible power supply, etc.
When the vertical axis exists, select the DC power supply that has a long voltage
hold time to decrease the amount of vertical axis falling during power–off
(including a power failure).
If the operating voltage drops to less than or equal to 21.6V, the CNC releases
servo activation. Therefore, when the hold time for 24 VDC during AC
power–off is too short, servo activation is released before the breaks are applied
because some peripheral circuit detects power–off. This may increase the
amount of vertical axis falling.
Generally, a power supply with sufficient power capacity tends to increase the
hold time during power–off.
The following circuit configurations are not recommended.

instantaneous interruption (the voltage reduces to 21.6 V or below)

V to 26.4 V) due to an abrupt load change
Example 1
For a circuit configuration in 2, connect another regulated power supply
to be specifically used for the device with remarkable load fluctuations
so that the CNC and other units are not affected.
If you find instructions to ”turn the power on simultaneously when or
before turning the power to the CNC on” for a unit such as a 24 VDC
power supply, turn the power to the unit simultaneously when turning on
the power to the CNC on from now on. T o turn the power to such a unit
simultaneously when turning the power to the CNC on, connecting the
unit on the same line as for the CNC as shown in Fig. 4.2.2 (b) is
recommended. (For a separate detector (scale), see Subsection 4.2.3,
”Power–on Sequence,” however.)
Turning the power to units on simultaneously when turning the power to
the CNC:
When the following power–on timing condition is satisfied, the power to
units is assumed to be turned on simultaneously when the power to the
CNC is turned on.

the CNC is turned on.
t2 : 500 msMeans that the power to units (including the Power
Mate) is turned on within 500 ms after the power to the
CNC is turned on.
For instructions to ”turn the power off simultaneously when or after
turning the power to the CNC off” for a unit such as a 24 VDC power
supply, the power–off sequence is not changed unlike the above
power–on sequence. (Turning the power off simultaneously when
turning the power to the CNC on means that the power may be turned off
within 500 ms before the power to the CNC is turned off.)
When on/off circuit B is connected, the
power must not be supplied to units between the 24 VDC output of the regulated power supply and input of on/off
circuit B. (This is because the condition
that the power to the units is turned on
within 200 ms before the power to the
CNC is turned on.)

The power to the CNC and other units (F ANUC I/O Unit MODEL A (I/O
Unit–A), FANUC Servo Unit (Series with an I/O link (β amplifier with
an I/O link), and so on in the sample configuration below) is assumed to
be turned on at the same time. (The power to any unit is not assumed to
be turned on during operation or before the power to the CNC is turned
on. No unit is assumed to be connected between the 24 VDC output of
the regulated power supply and input of on/off circuit B.)

3 Power to the CNC (24 VDC)
“Turning on the power to all the units at the same time” means completing
the power–on operations in 1 and 2 above within 500 ms of performing
power–on in 3.
As for a stand–alone LCD unit for a display link, no specific power
turn–on sequence is required.
As for a CNC display unit with PC functions, no specific power turn–on
sequence for the CNC control unit is required.
D If the power only to the control unit of the CNC is turned on without
turning the power to the CNC display unit with PC functions on, the
control unit of the CNC does not start up normally.
D If the power only to the CNC display unit with PC functions is turned
on without turning the power to the control unit of the CNC on
conversely, the units do not start up normally.
Turn off the power to all the units at the same time, or in the following
sequence:
1 Power to the CNC (24 VDC)
2 Power to the slave I/O units connected via the I/O link,
separate detector interface unit, and stand–alone type LCD
unit (24 VDC), servo amplifier control power supply (200
VAC), and power to any separate detector (scale)
3 Power to the overall machine (200 VAC)
“Turning off the power to all units at the same time” means completing
the power–off operations in 2 and 3 above within 500 ms before the
power–off operation described in 1 above. If the power to the units
indicated in 2 or 3 is turned off other than within 500 ms of the power in
1 being turned off, alarm information is left in the NC.
The power–off sequence for a stand–alone type LCD unit supporting the
display link and an CNC display unit with PC functions is undefined.
CAUTION
When the CNC display unit with PC functions is used, the
OS must be shut down before the power to the control unit
is turned off. Be careful not to turn off the power while the
hard disk is being accessed or before the OS has
terminated; otherwise, the hardware contents may be
destroyed.
When the power is turned off or when the power is momentarily
disconnected, motor control is disabled. Problems that may be generated
from the motor control disabled state should be handled from the
machine, as necessary.
For example, when movement along a vertical axis is controlled, a brake
should be applied to prevent falling. Usually , the brake clamps the motor
when the servo is not activated or when the motor is not turning. The
clamp is released only when the motor is turning. When servo axis control
is disabled by power–off or momentary power disconnection, the brake
usually clamps the servo motor. In this case, before the relay for clamping
operates, the controlled axis may fall. So, also consider whether the
distance the axis is likely to fall will cause a problem.

Used batteries must be discarded according to appropriate local
ordinances or rules. When discarding batteries, insulate them by using
tape and so forth to prevent the battery terminals from short–circuiting.
Part programs, offset data, and system parameters are stored in CMOS
memory in the control unit. The power to the CMOS memory is backed
up by a lithium battery mounted on the front panel of the control unit. The
above data is not lost even when the main battery goes dead. The backup
battery is mounted on the control unit at shipping. This battery can
maintain the contents of memory for about a year.
When the voltage of the battery becomes low, alarm message “BAT”
blinks on the display and the battery alarm signal is output to the PMC.
When this alarm is displayed, replace the battery as soon as possible. In
general, the battery can be replaced within two or three weeks, however,
this depends on the system configuration.
If the voltage of the battery becomes any lower, memory can no longer
be backed up. T urning on the power to the control unit in this state causes
system alarm 910 (SRAM parity alarm) to occur because the contents of
memory are lost. Clear the entire memory and reenter data after replacing
the battery.
The following two kinds of batteries can be used.
D Lithium battery built into the CNC control unit.
D Two alkaline dry cells (size D) in the external battery case.
NOTE
A lithium battery is installed as standard at the factory.
(1)Prepare a new lithium battery (ordering drawing number:
A02B–0200–K102).
(2)Turn the i Series on for about 30 seconds.
(3)Turn the i Series off.
(4)(LCD–mounted type i Series CNC)
Remove the old battery from the top of the CNC control unit.
First unplug the battery connector then take the battery out of its case.
The battery case of a control unit without option slots is located at the
top right end of the unit. That of a control unit with 2 slots is located
in the central area of the top of the unit (between fans).
(Stand–alone type i Series CNC)
Remove the old battery from the front panel of the CNC control unit.
First unplug the battery connector then take the battery out of its case.
(5)Insert a new battery and reconnect the connector.
NOTE
Steps (3) to (5) should be completed within the period
indicated below. Do not leave the control unit without a
battery for any longer than the period shown, as this will
result in the contents of memory being lost.

WARNING
Incorrect battery replacement may cause an explosion. Do
not use a battery other than that specified (specification:
A02B–0200–K102).
(1)Prepare two new alkaline dry cells (size D).
(2)Leave the power to the i Series CNC turned on for 30 seconds or so.
(3)Turn the i Series 16i/18i/160i/180i off.
(4)Remove the battery case cover.
(5)Replace the batteries, paying careful attention to their orientation.
(6)Replace the battery case cover.
NOTE
When replacing the dry cells, use the same procedure as
that for lithium battery replacement procedure, described
above.
Power from the external batteries is supplied through the connector to
which the lithium battery is connected. The lithium battery, provided as
standard, can be replaced with external batteries in the battery case
(A02B–0236–C281) according to the battery replacement procedures
described above.
NOTE
1 Install the battery case (A02B–0236–C281) in a location where the batteries can be replaced
even when the control unit power is on.
2 The battery cable connector is attached to the control unit by means of a simple lock system.
To prevent the connector from being disconnected due to the weight of the cable or tension
within the cable, fix the cable section within 50 cm of the connector.

If the voltage of a battery drops, the screen on the LCD flashes. (If a fan
alarm is issued, the screen on the LCD also flashes.) If this status occurs,
replace the battery as soon as possible (within 1 week). FANUC
recommends that each battery be replaced periodically (once a year)
regardless of whether a battery alarm is issued.
The BIOS settings are usually preserved as long as the battery is replaced
according to the following procedure. If they are lost, the following
message is displayed when the power is turned on:
251: System CMOS checksum bad – Default configuration used.
After this, the default BIOS settings are loaded, and the unit restarts
automatically. Before starting machining, check that the current BIOS
settings of the CNC display unit with PC functions in use have been
changed from the default BIOS settings, and resume your settings as
required.
(1)After keeping the CNC display unit with PC functions powered for at
least 5 seconds, turn it off, and enable work to be done from the rear ,
for example, by removing the battery section from the panel.
(2)Remove the connector from the lithium battery, and take the battery
out from the battery holder.
(3)Attach the connector (BAT1) to a new battery within 5 minutes, and
put the battery in the battery holder.
(4) Put the CNC display unit with PC functions back into the previous
place.
(5)Turn the power on, and check that no BIOS parameter is lost (no error
is detected at start–up).
NOTE
Be sure to install a new battery within 5 minutes after the old
one is removed from the connector.
One battery unit can maintain current position data for six absolute pulse
coders for a year.
When the voltage of the battery becomes low , APC alarms 3n6 to 3n8 (n:
axis number) are displayed on the LCD display. When APC alarm 3n7
is displayed, replace the battery as soon as possible. In general, the battery
should be replaced within one or two weeks, however , this depends on the
number of pulse coders used.
If the voltage of the battery becomes any lower, the current positions for
the pulse coders can no longer be maintained. Turning on the power to
the control unit in this state causes APC alarm 3n0 (reference position
return request alarm) to occur. Return the tool to the reference position
after replacing the battery.
Therefore, FANUC recommends that the battery be replaced once a year
regardless of whether APC alarms are generated.
See Section 7.1.3 for details of connecting the battery to separate absolute
pulse coders.
Obtain four commercially available alkaline batteries (size D).
(1)Turn on the power to the machine (i Series CNC).
(2)Loosen the screws of the battery case, and remove the cover.
(3)Replace the dry batteries in the case.
Note the polarity of the batteries as shown in the figure below (orient
two batteries one way and the other two in the opposite direction).

For MDI cable connector mating on the CA55 side, a simple lock mechanism is employed.
Ensure that a load greater than 1 kg is not applied to the connectors. Moreover , clamp the cable
so that excessive force is not applied due to vibration. However, shielding and clamping are
not required for a cable of up to 50 cm.
The 61–key MDI unit can be used, in addition to the conventional MDI
units (small MDI unit and standard MDI unit). On this 61–key MDI unit,
the alphabetic keys are each assigned to a single letter, and are arranged
in alphabetical order.
(1)Connection
The 61–key MDI unit can be connected in the same way as the small
and standard MDI units. See Subsection 5.1.3.
The 61–key MDI unit cannot, however, be detached. The CNC control
unit automatically determines whether a 61–key MDI unit or a
conventional MDI unit is attached when the control unit is turned on.
If a 61–key MDI unit is connected after the control unit is turned on,
therefore, the keys cannot be recognized correctly.
