• No part of this manual may be reproduced in any form.

• All specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.

The products in this manual are controlled based on Japan’s “Foreign Exchange and
Foreign Trade Law”. The export of Series 30i/300i/300is-MODEL A, Series

31i/310i/310is-MODEL A5 from Japan is subject to an export license by the government of

Japan. Other models in this manual may also be subject to export controls.

Further, re-export to another country may be subject to the license of the government of

the country from where the product is re-exported. Furthermore, the product may also be

controlled by re-export regulations of the United States government.

Should you wish to export or re-export these products, please contact FANUC for advice.

In this manual we have tried as much as possible to describe all the various matters.

However, we cannot describe all the matters which must not be done, or which cannot be

done, because there are so many possibilities.

Therefore, matters which are not especially described as possible in this manual should be

regarded as ”impossible”.

B-63950EN/04 DEFINITION OF WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE

DEFINITION OF WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE

This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and preventing damage to the machine.
Precautions are classified into Warning and Caution according to their bearing on safety. Also,
supplementary information is described as a Note. Read the Warning, Caution, and Note thoroughly
before attempting to use the machine.

WARNING

Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there is a

danger of both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged if the
approved procedure is not observed.

CAUTION

Applied when there is a danger of the equipment being damaged, if the

approved procedure is not observed.

NOTE

This section explains the parameter input/output procedures for input/output devices connected to the
reader/puncher interface.
The following description assumes the input/output devices are ready for input/output. It also assumes
parameters peculiar to the input/output devices, such as the baud rate and the number of stop bits, have
been set in advance. (See Section 4.5, “PARAMETERS OF READER/PUNCHER INTERFACE.”)

3.3 I/O FORMATS

This section describes the I/O formats of parameters.
Parameters are classified by data format as follows:

Data format Remarks

Bit
Bit machine group
Bit path
Bit axis
Bit spindle

Byte
Byte machine group
Byte path
Byte axis
Byte spindle

Word
Word machine group
Word path
Word axis
Word spindle

2-word
2-word machine group
2-word path
2-word axis
2-word spindle

Real
Real machine group
Real path
Real axis
Real spindle

Data of these formats is represented by an 8-digit
binary number, with each digit corresponding to a bit.

The setting range of data varies from one parameter
to another.
For details, refer to the description of each parameter.

3.3.1 Keywords

The alphabetic characters listed below are used as keywords.
A numeric value after each keyword has the following meaning:

Keyword Meaning of a numeric value that follows

N Parameter number
Q Data identifier (1: Parameter data, 0: Pitch error compensation data)

Ｔ
Ｌ

A Controlled axis number (1 and up) of an axis type parameter
S Spindle number (1 and up) of a spindle type parameter
P Value of a parameter independent of inch/metric switching
M Metric input value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric switching

I Inch input value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric switching

Machine group number (1 and up) of a machine group type parameter
Path number (1 and up) of a path type parameter

3.3.2 Inch/Metric Switching

For parameters dependent on inch/metric switching such as those for length and feedrate, whether data is
inch data or metric data is specified by the input mode in the case of input from the MDI panel, or by the
keyword I or M prefixed to the data in the case of input from an external I/O device. The keyword I or M
is added also when data is output from an external I/O device.
If the input mode or keyword differs from the actually used mode as in a case where data input in the inch
mode is used in the metric mode, the CNC performs automatic data conversion. So, data need not be
converted according to a mode change. Moreover, when parameter data is displayed, the data is converted
according to the display mode. However, when data is output from an external I/O device, the original
data is output according to the original keyword.

NOTE

1 Each of the parameters of the bit, bit machine group, bit path, bit axis, and bit

spindle types consists of 8 bits for one data number (parameters with eight
different meanings).

2 For machine group types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of

machine groups are present, so that independent data can be set for each
machine group.

3 For path types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of paths are

present, so that independent data can be set for each path.

4 For axis types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of control

axes are present, so that independent data can be set for each control axis.

5 For spindle types, parameters corresponding to the maximum number of

spindles are present, so that independent data can be set for each spindle axis.

6 The valid data range for each data type indicates a general range. The range

varies according to the parameters. For the valid data range of a specific
parameter, see the explanation of the parameter.

Some parameters handle these types of
data as unsigned data.
