1.1 OVERVIEW
The portable manual pulse generator is an I/O device for manual handle feed that is equipped with a
manual pulse generator, emergency stop switch, enable switch, axis selection switch, magnification
selection switch, and LED.
Connect it to a FANUC I/O device, and connect it to a CNC with the I/O Link or I/O Link i.
Main functions ・Emergency stop switch
This is the switch which makes a system in emergency s top state. ・Enable switch
This switch is used to enable manual handle feed. ・Axis selection switch
This switch is used to select t he axi s on which to perform manual handle feed. ・Magnification selection switch
This switch is used to set the travel di st ance per pul se of manual handle f eed, using a magni fic ation of
・Manual pulse generator This generator outputs pulses for manual handle feed.
・General-purpose LED This is a LED for general-purpose. It is turned ON/OFF by connecting it to the DO of a FANUC I/O device.

Risk assessment considered the specifications of the machine is conducted by each machine tool
builder, and if there is a risk due to one-hand operation as a result, it is necessary to take a
countermeasure appropriately.
As the following figure shows, this guard builds walls around the rotary knob of manual pulse
generator.
Building walls can be used as a means for leading the operator to operate the manual pulse generator
with both hands.
If the guard is necessary, please select the portable manual pulse generator with guard.

2.2 EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
To detect contact failures, the em ergency stop switch has two contacts.
For safety reasons, use the two contact s to detect mismatches.
Connect the emergency stop signal (ESP1, ESP2) to the safety circ ui t for the entire machine.

1 Periodically check that the emergency stop switch functions normally.
2 When using the portable manual pulse generator, make sure that the CNC and the servo amplifier can be
brought to an emergency stop, using the emergency stop switch of the portable manual pulse generator.
3 If using the portable manual pulse generator with a detachable connection, remov e the portable manual pulse
generator from the connection panel when not operating it, and store it in a loc ation where it cannot be
operated. (This is required to prevent other people f rom misunderstanding that the emergency stop switch on
the portable manual pulse generator is effective.)
4 At the uppermost stream of the emergency stop line, be sure to mount a fuse (with a capacity of 1A or less).
Otherwise, if a fault such as a ground fault occurs on the path, this can cause fire, breakdown, blowout,
2.3 ENABLE SWITCH
To detect contact failures, the enabl e switch has two contacts.
For safety reasons, use the two contacts to detect mismatches.
This switch has three positions, OFF, ON, and OFF. For use, it must be hel d in a hand. When kept in
the intermediate position, the switch is in t he ON (contact closed) state. If the operator faces danger, f or
example, and releases the switch from his or her hand or, conversely, holds it tight, the switch is placed
in the OFF (contact open) state.

When operating the enable switch, hold it tight until it reaches the intermediate position.
The enable switch inc orporates two independent contacts . Becaus e of the st ructure, a mismatch may
occur between the two contacts if operations such as the following are performed: Keeping the
switch before the intermediate position; and hol ding the switch slowly.
The force required to hold the enable switch to the intermediate posit ion is about 3N, and the force
required to hold it beyond the intermediate position is about 12N. When the enable switch is
operated, it is not necessary to search for the intermediate position.
If, during machine operation, the enable switch is held strongly, first release the enable switch for
safety reasons and then restart the operation.
1 If the operator may face danger when operating the machine with the portable manual pulse generator, be
sure to configure a safety circuit so that the machine can be plac ed i n the interlock state, using the enable
switch on the portable manual pulse generator.
2 Before performing any operations that may cause the operator to f ace danger, such as opening the protective
cover and entering inside the safety fence, the operator m ust check that the enable switch functions normally
in a state in which he or she is safe.
NOTE
1 The safety standard may differ from one machine to another. Chec k the relevant safety standard.
Using Dual Check Safety (DCS) function in a system, the enable switch in the portable manual pulse
generator is complied with Category 3 PL d.

3. MAINTENANCE
A cable connector for machine tool side is mounted by the machine tool builder. The connec tor treatment differs from one machine tool builder to another and, therefore, FANUC cannot
perform maintenance on the connector treatment inside machine tool.
FANUC m erel y supplies the portable manual pulse generator (including cable with connector).
4. SAFETY
For the safety of the machine, note the followi ng:
・Connect the emergency stop signal of the portable manual puls e generator to the safety circuit of the
entire machine so that the machine can stop in a saf e manner when the emergency stop swit ch of the
portable manual pulse generator is pressed.
・To detect contact failures, the emergency stop switch and the enable switch of the portable manual pulse
generator offer contacts for two syst em s.
Conducts mismatch detection with the signals of the two contacts.
・Prepare a ladder program so that the machine enters the interlock state when the signal of the enable
switch is OFF.
5.
INSTALLATION CONDITION FOR UL RECOGNITION
The portable manual pulse generator complies with UL standard.

CAUTION
manual or of a product altered by the customer.
WARNING
1 When designing, be sure to observe all rules stated in this manual and any related manuals. Otherwise,
failures and malfunctions may occur.
2 If the customer is to use a FANUC product for an appl ication that can pose a significant danger to human
lives and property, he or she is requested to confirm beforehand that the entire system is designed so that
the risk is reported, that the necessary safety is ensured with redundant design, and that the FANUC
product gets electric power and is installed in the entire system appropriately for the intended application.
3 Failures in the portable manual pulse generator, as well as input power abnormalities and communi c ation
failures, can hamper the normal operation of the portable manual pul s e generator. Design the system in
such a way that the machine can operate safely by, for example, providing a safety circuit outside the
portable manual pulse generator so that no accidents will occur even if such failures occur.
Using the dual check safety function makes it possible to detect a single fault related to safety. For details
of the dual check safety function, refer to the dual check safety manual for the CNC unit to use.
4 Coolants containing sulfur or chlorine at a high activation level, oil-free coolants called synthetic type
coolants, and water-soluble coolants at a high alkali level, in particular, can l argely affect the portable
manual pulse generator. Note that such coolants can caus e problems such as those described below.
Coolants containing sulfur or chlorine at a high activation level
・
Some coolants containing sulfur or chlorine are at an extremely high activity level. If such a coolant
adheres to the portable manual pulse generator, it reacts chemically with resin and other materials,
possibly leading to corrosion or deterioration. If it gets in t he portable manual pulse generator, it corrodes
copper, silver, and other metals used as component materials, poss i bly leading to component defects.
Synthetic type coolants having a high permeability
・
Some synthetic type coolants whose lubricating component is, for example, PAG (polyalkylene glycol)
have an extremely high permeability. Even for equipment with a high airtightness, such a coolant can
easily flow into the equipment through, for example, packings. If the coolant gets in the portable manual
pulse generator, it may cause insulation deterioration and component failures.
Water-soluble coolants at a high alkali level
