SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

The following warnings and cautions provide information to be noted when handing the CNC device for safer use of the machine with the CNC device.

WARNING

• Carefully check that data you want to enter is correctly entered before performing the next operation. Operation with incorrect data may cause unexpected behavior of the machine, resulting in damage to the work or machine or injury.

• Carefully check that program command value, offset value, curren po

tion, and external signal settings, etc. are correct before starting the

si machine for operation, such as machining the work. Also, perform tria op

eration, such as using the single block, feed speed override, or machi

ock function, or operating without a tool or work, to carefully check that th

l machine operates correctly.

• Check that an appropriate feed speed value is specified for the operation. h

e maximum feed speed is normally limited for each machine. Follow the

T manual of the machine as well because the optimal speed is differen de

pending on the operation. Operation with an incorrect speed may cause unexpected load to t ma

ine, resulting in damage to the work or machine or injury.

• Before using the tool offset function, carefully check the offset direction a v

ue. Operation with incorrect data may cause unexpected behavior of

chine, resulting in damage to the work or machine or injury.

• Optimal values are set to the CNC and PMC parameters, so they do no no

mally need to be changed. If you change the parameter for so

eason, fully understand its function before change. An incorrect parameter

r setting may cause unexpected behavior of the machine depending on th

etting value, resulting in damage to the work or machine or injury.

the

• After pressing the power on button, do not touch any key on the keyboard un

CAUTION

til the screen appears. Some keys are used for maintenance or specia eration and may cause unexpected behavior.

• NC programs, parameters, and variables are stored in the non-volatile

in the CNC device. These data are usually not lost by powering

mory

me on/off. However, precious data stored in the non-volatile memory may l

ost due to incorrect operation or may have to be erased due to faul

covery.

re To recover fast from such an unexpected situation, back up all kinds of da

a beforehand.

• There are some embedded machine operations and screen function i

talled by machine tool builders (MTB). For how to use them and

ns precautions, refer to the appropriate manual provided by each manufacturer.

GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

WARNING

Be careful enough for the following warnings when you develop two or more applications or use networks. If you neglect them, there is a danger of the user being injured or there is a

r of both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged.

nge

1.Be careful enough if you write an identical NC data, an identical PMC data eries of related data set by two or more above applications including

a s

or network functions. Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other words, asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the data will be written in an unexpected order.

Therefore, do NOT write above data in the following cases.

- Applications and network functions

- Two or more applications

- Two or more network functions Data, applications and network functions of interest are listed in below.

r, all may not be listed completely because new features will be

Howe added in the future.

2.Be careful enough that you must prevent PMC signals in the same by being written by the following two or more applications including

from network functions. While an application reads and writes one byte of PMC signals, other applications may write the same byte.

www.hongdiancnc.com

3.Be careful enough if you process a PMC signal set that is related to a

tion by using the following two or more applications including network

func functions. Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other words, asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the NC may receive the PMC signal set in an unexpected order.

4.Generally, when multi-byte data are read or written at once among t

following two or more applications including network functions, the coherency of the read multi-byte data (in other words, reading all latest data at once) is not guaranteed. To ensure the coherency of the multi-byte data, prepare flags to notify the completion of reading or writing process that is separated from the entity of the data and make the handshaking process to access the data by using the flags.

5.CNC has functions that read or write PMC signals in other than the G/F address. Be careful enough if the above mentioned applications and network read or write PMC signals used by these functions. When reading or writing the same PMC signal, applications or CNC functions may work in an unexpected manner. As for the CNC functions of interest, refer to the connection manual (

RELATED MANUALS

The iHMI consists of applications that support CNC operations and the "Home screen" that starts each application. The iHMI allows you to customize each application and add your custom applications to the Home screen. This manual describes the customization method and specifications of the iHMI. For details about the iHMI and iHMI applications, see "FANUC iHMI Home Screen OPERATOR'S MANUAL" (B-64644EN) and "FANUC iHMI CNC Operation Screen OPERATOR'S MANUAL" (B-64644EN-1).

• Application definition file (XML file)

• iHMI whole configuration file (XML file)

• File for individual settings common to the applications (INI format file)

2.2.1 Application Definition File

2.2.1

The application definition file (apps-general.xml) is stored in the iHMI data folder (%APPDATA% folder). By changing this file, the following operations can be performed.

- Adding an application to the Home screen

- Changing the initial display screen after power-on

- Changing the Home screen

 Adding an application to the Home screen

Add the following description of the <entry> tag to the application definition file.

2.2.3.1 Hiding the vertical soft keys

2.2.3.1

The screen can be configured so that the vertical soft keys are hidden when an application starts up. If you set the vertical soft keys to be hidden, the display area of the main screen will be expanded to the full horizontal width.

Fig. 2.2.3.1 (a) Hiding the vertical soft keys

In this case, a slide cannot be displayed. The slide can be displayed by receiving a notification from outside of an application. On the slide, the display area size is the same as that for when the vertical soft keys are set to be displayed. Note, however, that the slide is centered in the screen horizontal direction.

2.5.1.6 Setting the spindle rotation direction icon display

2.5.1.6

The spindle information display tile in the machining program execution screen displays a spindle rotation direction (forward/reverse) with an icon. You can change the spindle rotation direction icon by combining the settings of the signals and MTB configuration file.

Specify an icon that corresponds to the spindle rotation direction.

How to specify a spindle rotation direction: [Spindle_n] ("n" represents a spindle number.)

ROTATION_REVERSE = 0: forward rotation by the rotation direction signal SFR = 0/SRV = 1, reverse rotation by the rotation direction signal SFR = 1/SRV = 0 = 1: forward rotation by the rotation direction signal SFR = 1/SRV = 0, reverse rotation by the rotation direction signal SFR = 0/SRV = 1 (The rotation direction signal is a signal for each spindle.)

Example: When Spindle 3 is rotated in the forward direction by the rotation direction signal SFR = 0/SRV = 1 and in the reverse direction by the rotation signal SFR = 1/SRV = 0. [Spindle_3] ROTATION_REVERSE =0
