In this NC unit, the machining programs, param eters and tool compensation data are saved in
the memory (mem ory elements). This NC unit's m emory is backed up by lithium batteries, and
under normal conditions will last 6 years from the date of m anufacture. However, data contents
could be lost under the conditions described below.
To prevent data loss, output important programs, parameters, etc., to a serial input/output device
and save them. Refer to Section "
how to do this.
Data in the memory can be lost under these kinds of conditions.
< Important Usage Notes >
III
-8 Maintenance Functions" in this manual f or inform ation on
(1) Incorrect operation
Data can be lost if the operator inadvertently changes data while editing a program or setting
parameters.
(This is not really a data loss, but it is a loss from the standpoint that the original data is gone.)
Data can be lost if the operator inadvertently deletes data or initializes NC unit.
(2) Battery life expires
When the battery life expires and there is not enough voltage to store the data in the memory,
data can be lost by turning the power OFF.
(3) Faults
Data can be lost when faults occur and the control unit must be replaced.
Precautions for Safety
Always read the specifications issued by the machine maker, this manual, related
manuals and attached documents before installation, operation, programming,
maintenance or inspection to ensure correct use.
Understand this numerical controller, safety items and cautions before using the unit.
This manual ranks the safety precautions into "DANGER", "WARNING" and "CAUTION".
DANGER
When the user may be subject to imminent fatalities or major
injuries if handling is mistaken.
WARNING
When the user may be subject to fatalities or major injuries if
handling is mistaken.
CAUTION
When the user may be subject to bodily injury or when physical
damage may occur if handling is mistaken.
Note that even items ranked as "
CAUTION ", may lead to major results depending on
the situation. In any case, important information that must always be observed is
described.
DANGER
Not applicable in this manual.
WARNING
1. Items related to operation
If the operation start position is set in a block which is in the middle of the program and
the program is started, the program before the set block is not executed. Please confirm
that G and F modal and coordinate values are appropriate. If there are coordinate system
shift commands or M, S, T and B commands before the block set as the start position,
carry out the required commands using the MDI, etc. If the program is run from the set
block without carrying out these operations, there is a danger of interference with the
machine or of machine operation at an unexpected speed, which may result in breakage
of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the operators.
Under the constant surface speed control (during G96 modal), if the axis targeted for the
constant surface speed control moves toward the spindle center, the spindle rotation
speed will increase and may exceed the allowable speed of the workpiece or chuck, etc.
In this case, the workpiece, etc. may jump out during machining, which may result in
breakage of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the operators.
1. Items related to product and manual
For items described as "Restrictions" or "Usable State" in this manual, the instruction
manual issued by the machine maker takes precedence over this manual.
Items not described in this manual must be interpreted as "not possible".
This manual is written on the assumption that all option functions are added. Confirm
with the specifications issued by the machine maker before starting use.
Refer to the Instruction Manual issued by each machine maker for details on each
machine tool.
Some screens and functions may differ depending on the NC system (or its version),
and some functions may not be possible. Please confirm the specifications before
use.
2. Items related to installation and assembly
Ground the signal cables to ensure stable system operation. Also ground the NC unit
main frame, power distribution panel and machine to one point, so they all have the
same potential.
If the control unit's rotary switch is set to "7", all data in the NC will be erased and the
system will not start up.
CAUTION
3. Items related to preparation before use
Always set the stored stroke limit. Failure to set this could result in collision with the
machine end.
Always turn the power OFF before connecting/disconnecting the I/O device cable.
Failure to do so could damage the I/O device and NC unit.
4. Items related to screen operation
If the tool offset and workpiece coordinate system offset are changed during automatic
operation (including during single block stop), they are validated from the command of
the next block or blocks onwards.
When forcibly setting (forcibly outputting) data on the I/F diagnosis screen during
machine operation, pay careful attention to the sequence operation.
All of the various data in the NC memory is erased when formatting. Be sure to use
the transfer function to transfer all necessary data to another storage device before
formatting.
Even if the tool compensation amount write command, parameter write command or
variable data write command is executed with graphic check, the data will be actually
written in, and the original data will be overwritten.
To prevent influence from data omission and data transformation in the communication
circuit, always verify the data after inputting and outputting machining programs.
Do not change setup parameters without prior approval from the machine maker.
5. Items related to programming
Because of key chattering, etc., during editing, "NO NOS. FOLLOWING G" commands
become a "G00" operation during running.
" ; " "EOB" and " % " "EOR" are explanatory notations. The actual codes are "Line
feed" and "%" for ISO, and "End of Block" and "End of Record" for EIA.
Do not change the fixed cycle program without prior approval from the machine maker.
(Continued on next page)
CAUTION
6. Items related to operation
Stay out of the moveable range of the machine during automatic operation. During
rotation, keep hands, feet and face away from the spindle.
Carry out dry operation before actually machining, and confirm the machining program,
tool offset and workpiece coordinate system offset.
If the operation start position is set from a block in the program and the program is
started, the program before the set block is not executed. If there are coordinate
system shift commands or M, S, T, and B commands before the block set as the
starting position, carry out the required commands using the MDI, etc. There is a
danger of interference with the machine if the operation is started from the set starting
position block without carrying out these operations.
Program so the mirror image function is turned ON/OFF at the mirror image center.
The mirror image center will deviate if the function is turned ON/OFF at a position
other than the mirror image center.
7. Items related to faults and abnormalities
If a BATTERY FAULT alarm is issued, save the machining program, tool data and
parameters before replacing the battery.
If the axis overruns or emits an abnormal noise, immediately press the emergency
stop button and stop the axis movement.
8. Items related to maintenance
Incorrect connections may damage the devices, so connect the cables to the
specified connectors.
Do not apply voltages other than those indicated in this manual on the connector.
Doing so may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not connect or disconnect the connection cables between each unit while the
power is ON.
Do not connect or disconnect the PCBs while the power is ON.
Do not connect the cable by pulling on the cable wire.
Do not short circuit, charge, overheat, incinerate or disassemble the battery.
Dispose the spent battery according to local laws.
Do not replace the control unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the base I/O unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the control section power supply PCB while the power is ON.
Do not replace the expansion PCB while the power is ON.
Do not replace the memory cassette while the power is ON.
Be careful that metal cutting chips, etc., do not come into contact with the connector
contacts of the memory cassette.
Do not replace the high-speed program server unit while the power is ON.
