Introduction
CAUTION
This is a setup manual for MITSUBISHI CNC M700VS Series.
This manual is written on the assumption that with all of the MITSUBISHI CNC M700VS Series functions are added,
but the actually delivered NC may not have all optional functions.
Refer to the specifications issued by machine tool builder to confirm the functions available for your NC before
proceeding to operation.
Notes on Reading This Manual
(1) This manual explains general parameters as viewed from the NC.
For information about each machine tool, refer to manuals issued from the machine tool builder.
If the descriptions relating to "restrictions" and "allowable conditions" conflict between this manual and the
machine tool builder's instruction manual, the later has priority over the former.
(2) This manual is intended to contain as much descriptions as possible even about special operations.
The operations to which no reference is made in this manual should be considered "impossible".
(3) The "special display unit" explained in this manual is the display unit incorporated by the machine tool builder,
and is not the MITSUBISHI standard display unit.
(4) This manual is for the machine tool builders who set up the NC system.
If the descriptions relating to the "restrictions" and "allow a ble conditions" conflict between this manual
and the machine tool builder’s instruction manual, the latter has priority over the former.
The operations to which no reference is made in this manual should be considered "impossible".
This manual is complied on the assum ption that your machine is provided with all optional functions. Refer
to the specifications issued by machine tool builder to confirm the functions available for yo ur NC before
proceeding to operation.

The axis detach function can be used for servo axis. The detach function cannot be used for spindle.
(1) Set the drive unit rotary switch and "#1021 mcp_no" for the axis that is not connected to the motor.
(2) Set "1" to the parameter "#1070 axoff" for the axis that is not connected to the motor.
(3) Do (a) or (b).
(a) Set "1" to parameter "#8201 AX. RELEASE" for the axis that is not connected to the motor.
(b) Turn ON the control axis detach signal (Y780) for the axis that is not connected to the motor.
Setting up without Connecting to the Drive unit
Set the following parameters.
(1) Set "#1021 mcp_no" (for the servo axis) or "#3031 smcp_no" (for the spindle axis) to the axis that is not connected
to the drive unit.
(2) Set the following parameters to the axis that is not connected to the drive unit.
For the servo axis: Set "1" to "#2018 no_srv".
For the spindle axis: Set "0" to "#3024 sout".
After connecting to the drive unit, make sure to set "#2018 no_srv" to "0" and "#3024 sout" to "1".

Setting the Position Detection System
7 Setting the Position Detection System
MITSUBISHI CNC
There are two kinds of position detection system: one is "relative position detection", which establishes the reference
position (zero point) at every CNC power-ON; the other is "absolute position detection", which allows to start the
operation without establishing the reference position (zero point) again after the CNC power-ON.
7.1 Adjusting the Absolute Position Detection System
There are four types of the absolute position zero point initialization set: "marked point alignment method", "marked point
alignment method II", "machine end stopper method", an d "dog-type".
Set the parameter "#2049 type (Absolute position detection method)" for the type and method of absolute position zero
point initialization set.
The required components differ depending on the detection method.

7.1.3.2 Machine End Stopper Method:

7.1.3.3 Dog-type
Each method has the following characteristics
(1)Marked point alignment method I
Align the table side’s mark and the machine side’s mark.
The first grid point which is returned from the marks are aligned is determined as the basic position.
Because the first grid point which is returned from the marks are aligned is determined as the basic position, the
reproducibility is kept even the position information is lost due to runnning out of battery etc.
(2) Marked point alignment method II
Align the table side’s mark and the machine side’s mark.
The position where the marks are aligned is determined as the basic position.
Because the position where the marks are alinged is determined as the basic position, the reproductivity is low if the
position information is lost due to running out of battery etc.
(3) Machine end stopper method
[When #2059 zerbas = 0]
Push the table against the machine end stopper.
The position where the table is pushed against the machine end stopper is determined as the basic position.
[When #2059 zerbas = 1]
Push the table against the machine end stopper.
The first grid point which is returned from where the table is pushed against the machine end stopper is
determined as the basic position.
There are two types of the machine end stopper method: automatic initialization and manual initialization.
When the automatic initialization is applied, the axis travels automatically after the JOG is started.
When the manual initialization is applied, the axis travels by handle mode or JOG mode while confirming each
operation.

(Note 2) If pressing against the machine end is attempted without passing the grip point once after turning the power
ON, the operation message "Not passed on grid" will appear. Return to a point before the last grid, and then
repeat from step of pressing against the machine end stopper.
(Note 3) If the first grid point is covered by the grid mask (#2028 grmask) as a result of return to the electric basic
position, the axis stops at the next grid point.
Note that zero-point shift amount (#2027 G28sft) is invalid.
(Note 4) Acceleration/deceleration during movement at the specified push speed is performed in smoothing-off
(stepfeed) mode.
(Note 5) If "0" is specified for "#2056 aproch" of the absolute position parameters, the machine zero point is regardedas
the approach point.
(Note 6) Automatic initialization is interrupted if one of the following events occurs. If it is interrupted, [State] indicates
"Jog Start" (after selecting the "Auto init set" mode if it is caused by mode change), so restart operation from
the step of JOG-start.
- An absolute position detection alarm occurs.
- Operation preparation signal turns OFF.
- The mode is changed.
- The system is reset.
If [State] is "Complete" before automatic initialization is started, "State" returns to "Complete" when power is
turned OFF and ON again without restarting the operation.
(Note7) Automatic initialization cannot be started in the following cases. The operation message "Can't start" will
appear if starting is attempted.
- When "#0 Absolute posn set" is not set.
- When the "#2 Zero-P" setting is inappropriate.
- When "#2055 pushf" is not set.
- When "Z71 Abs encoder failure 0005" has occurred.
In the above cases, if the "#2 Zero-P" setting is inappropriate, this means that the relation of "#2 Zero-P" and
"#2037 G53ofs" is inappropriate. That is, if "#2 Zero-P" is smaller than the "#2037 G53ofs", the machine end
stopper will be located between the basic machine coordinate system zero point and reference position; this
disables automatic initialization. (Refer to the following left figure.)
If "#2 Zero-P " is set to "0", the machine end stopper direction is unpredictable; this also disables automatic
initialization. (Refer to the following right figure.)
