GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

s-2

B-64647EN/01

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.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

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

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

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

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

machine operates correctly.

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

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

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

pending on the operation.

Operation with an incorrect speed may cause unexpected load to t

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

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

ue. Operation with incorrect data may cause unexpected behavior of

the

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

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

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

setting may cause unexpected behavior of the machine depending on th

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

CAUTION

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

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

mory

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

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

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

covery.

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

a beforehand.

• There are some embedded machine operations and screen function

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

precautions, refer to the appropriate manual provided by each

manufacturer.

GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

B-64647EN/01

0.1

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

nge

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

1.Be careful enough if you write an identical NC data, an identical PMC data

a s

eries of related data set by two or more above applications including

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.

Howe

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

added in the future.

2.Be careful enough that you must prevent PMC signals in the same by

from

being written by the following two or more applications including

network functions. While an application reads and writes one byte of PMC

signals, other applications may write the same byte.

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

func

tion by using the following two or more applications including network

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

(

Function) (B-64483EN-1) ”Appendix B. List of Functions Using PMC

Signals Other Than G/F Address”.

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
