1) Manual operation
Manual reference position return (See Section 4.1)
a)
The memory in the CNC machine tool holds the positional data for setting the machine.
This position is called the reference position, where the tool is replaced or the coordinate are set.
narily, after the power is turned on, the tool is moved to the reference position.
Manual reference position return is to move the tool to the reference position using switches and push-
buttons located on the operator’s panel.

The tool can be moved to the reference position also with program commands.
This operation is called automatic reference position return. (See Section 7.1)
b) The tool movement by manual operation
Using operator’s panel switches, pushbuttons, or the manual handle, the tool can be moved along
each axis.

ii) Displaying and setting parameters (See Section 10.4)
H2554E-I /Ol
The CNC functions have versatility in order to take action in characteristics of various machines.
example, CNC can specify the following:
a) Rapid traverse rate of each axis
b) Whether the position is detected with digital or analog data
Whether reference position return is based on the grid or analog system
The data determining these items are called parameters (see Section 10.5).
The parameters are specific to the machine.

When the tape reader is raised, the latch mechanism is activated to fix
the tape reader. Thus, the tape reader is not lowered. The latch is
locked with the lowering lock lever. The latch is therefore not unlocked
even when the tape reader is raised with the handle.
When the latch is locked, the lever is horizontal. To store the tape reader
in the box, push the lever to release the lock, then raise the tape reader
with the handle to unlock the latch.
When the latch is unlocked, the tape reader can be stored in the box.

Other amount may be used depending on machine tool.
If the handle is rotated in excess of 5 turns/set, there is a difference between the handle rotation
amount and the machine movement distance.
Rotating the handle too fast when such as Xl 00 is selected moves the tool or table at a rate as
fast as the rapid traverse rate. A sudden stop gives the machine tool a shock.
When provided, the automatic acceleration/deceleration function is executed also for movement when using manual handle feed so that the mechanical impact is reduced.

Manual Feed in a Specified Direction
The tool can be manually moved in a specified direction on a specified plane. The feedrate and the direction
and plane of feed can be changed at any time. Simple cutting can be manually executed on a plane.

MANUAL OPERATION
(1) Selecting a plane
Specify external signals that indicate the first and second axes of the plane on which the tool is manually moved in a specified direction.
(2) Specifying the direction of feed
Enter an external input signal that indicates the direction in which the tool is to be manually moved.
The direction of feed can be specified in the range of 0 to 360 degrees in 1
The angle is specified as shown below.
/16
degrees.
If an angle greater than 360 degrees is specified, the CNC unit repeatedly subtracts 360from the angle
until it falls within the range of 0 to 360 degrees.
While the tool is being manually moved in the specified direction, the direction of feed can be changed
as required. When the direction is changed, the position check is not executed, but the move com-
mand in the new direction is immediately executed.

When the operator manually intervenes during tool nose radius compensation, the tool moves

After manual operation is performed in the status of manual absolute switch is off, during cutter compensation, automatic operation is restarted then the tool moves parallel to the movement that would

while turning a corner.

Executing Automatic Operation
While executing a block, the CNC usually calculates the next block to convert it into data in the executable form.
This is called buffering.
The number of blocks to be buffered has been extended to 2, and the two blocks are preread so far as time
permits. This prevents an interruption in the pulse distribution between two successive small blocks.
The XBUF bit in parameter No. 7616 determines whether the number of blocks to be buffered is extended to
2.

Specifying the sequence number to restart machining at the desired block
Specify the sequence number of the block at which machining is to be restarted, the number of the program

The following data can be specified:

(b) Sequence number and the number of times the block is to be executed
(c) Sequence number and program number
(d) Sequence number, the number of times the block is to be executed, and the program number
Specifying the block number to restart machining at the desired block
Machining can be restarted at a block that is not assigned a sequence number.
When the CNC is stopped, the number of blocks that have been executed is displayed on the program
screen or program restart screen. The operator references the block number displayed on the CRT to
specify the number of the block at which machining is to be restarted.
The displayed number indicates the number of the blocks that have been completed when the CNC
stopped. To restart machining at the block in which the CNC stopped, therefore, specify the displayed
block number plus one.
The block number is not lost when the power is turned off.
The number of the blocks is counted from the block at which machining starts. One block refers to a cluster
of commands at which a single-block stop is allowed among blocks in executable form converted from
the CNC program.

Whenever the tool is moved along each axis to the machining restart position in both programs
of types P and Q, a single-block stop is valid after the tool has moved along one axis. In this
case, however, manual intervention from the MDI panel is not possible.
The tool can be manually moved. When the tool is already returned along an axis, however, it
is not moved manually along the axis.
