When the user may be subject to fatalities or major injuries if handling is mistaken.

When the user may be subject to bodily injury or when physical damage may occ ur 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.

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 unexpect ed 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 ax is 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 operato rs.

WARNING

1. Items related to product and manual

CAUTION

For items described as "Restrictions" or "Usable State" in this manual, the instruction manual issued by
the machine tool builder 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 tool builder before startin g use.
Refer to the Instruction Manual issued by each machine tool builder for details on each machine tool.

Some screens and functions may differ depending on the NC system (or its versio n), and some func tio ns
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.

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 compensation amount or workpiece coordinate system offset amount is changed during

automatic operation (including during single block stop), the changes will be valid from the command in
next block or after several subsequent blocks.

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.

Pay close attention to the sequence operation when carrying out forced data setting (forced output) in the I/

F diagnosis screen during machine operation.
To prevent influence from data omission and data transform ation 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 tool builder.

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 symbols used for explanation. The actual codes for ISO are "CR, LF"

("LF") and "%".
The programs created on the Edit screen are stored in the NC memory in a "CR, LF" format, however, the
programs created with external devices such as the FD or RS-232C may be stored in an "LF" format.
The actual codes for EIA are "EOB (End of Block)" and "EOR (End of Record)".

Do not change the fixed cycle program without prior approval from the machine tool bu ilder.

[Continued on next page]

6. Items related to operation
Stay out of the moveable range of the machine during automatic operation. During rotatio n, kee p hands,

feet and face away from the spindle.
Carry out dry operation before actually machining, and confirm the machini ng 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 the battery low warning is issued, save the machining programs, tool data and parameters in an input/

output device, and then replace the battery. When the battery alarm is issued, the machining programs, tool
data and parameters may be destroyed. Reload the data after replacing the ba ttery.

CAUTION

[Continued]

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 according to specification 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.

1.2.1 Operation Mode

The operation status indicates the operation mode for displayed part system.
The selectable operation mode is following below.

Symbol Details Explanation

MEMORY Memory operation Automatic operation is based on programs stored in the memory.

TAPE Tape operation

MDI MDI operation

JOG Jog

HANDLE Manual handle

STEP Step

MANUAL Manual arbitrary feed

ZERO-RTN

INIT-SET

RAPID Rapid traverse

NO MODE No operation mode The operation mode is not selected.

Reference position re­turn

Automatic dog-less ref­erence position return

Automatic operation is based on tape command (RS232C input)
programs stored in NC tape.

Automatic operation is performed with the program set in the MDI
screen.

The jog feed mode enables the axis to be moved by hand consecu­tively at the feed rate set by using the MANUAL FEED RATE switch.

The handle feed mode enables the axis to be moved by turning the
manual handle. The travel distance per graduation of the handle de­pends on how the HANDLE/INCREMENTAL MAGNIFICATION
switch is set.

The step feed mode enables the axis to be moved by hand at feed
rate when the FEED AXIS SELECT switch is ON. The travel dis­tance per graduation of the handle depends on how the HANDLE/
INCREMENTAL MAGNIFICATION switch is set.

This mode enables to move manually with arbitrary amount or arbi­trary positioning position.

This mode enables a controlled axis to be returned manually to the
defined position unique to the machine (reference position).

This mode enables this mode to manually push against the machine
end stopper and carry out zero point return.

The rapid traverse feed mode enables the machine to be moved
consecutively at rapid traverse feedrate manually.

(Note 1)Note the following points when using two or more part systems.
The operation mode displays the operation mode selected for the 1st part system. Thus, when using two-or-more-part­system machine for which the operation modes are separately selected for each part system, the operation mode
displayed for a part system other than the 1st part system, and the operation mode on the machine may not match.

1.12 Screen Capture [M700VS Series and M70V Series Only]

When "1" is set to the parameter "#8121 Screen Capture", and then [SHIFT] key is kept pressing for about 3 seconds
until the buzzer sounds the screen information displayed in the display unit can be output to memory card (CF) as a file
of the bitmap format.

Operation method

Set the parameter "#8121 Screen Capture" to "1".

(1)

Display the screen to capture..

(2)

Hold down the [SHIFT] key on keyboard for three

(3)

seconds until the buzzer sounds.

Return the parameter "#8121 Screen Capture" to

(4)

"0".

When the [SHIFT] key is pressed, the buzzer sounds
"blip".
About three seconds later, the bitmap file output is com­pleted when the buzzer sounds "blip" again.

Bitmap file format

The bitmap file format output by the screen-capture function is as follows.

Color number Color (256 colors)
Size 308,278byte(640×480)

File name

A day of the week_Month_Day_Hour_Minute_Second_Year.bmp
(Ex.) When output at 2007/1/24 (Wed) 12:18:38
WED_JAN_24_12_18_38_2007.bmp

Precautions

(1) The static image only can be output.
(2) The bitmap file cannot be output during automatic start.
(3) Do not output the bitmap file while the axis is moving by the manual operation mode etc.
(4) The screen cannot be operated while the bitmap file is being output to memory card (CF). Do not turn OFF the

power supply while being output. The memory card may be damaged.
(5) The bitmap file cannot be output when the memory card is not inserted.
(6) When there is no empty capacity in the memory card, the bitmap file cannot be correctly displayed.
(7) The number of bitmap files which can be stored in the memory card is nine files or less.

1.13.1 Outline

Separate programs, used in each part system, can be managed under a common name in the multi-part system. This
function facilitates the management of the process programs that are simultaneously executed in the multi-part systems.
The multi-part system program management is turned valid/invalid with a parameter "#1285 ext21/bit0 Multi-part system
program management".
The followings are available when the multi-part system program management is valid:

- Executing the program search across all part systems in batch. (Note 1)

- Saving/editing the programs for each part system under one program name.(Note 2)

- Inputting/outputting programs of all part systems in batch. (Note 2) (Note 3)
(Note 1) While the multi-part system program management is valid, there is an option whether the operation search,

check search or restart search is executed across all part systems in batch or is executed for each part system
separately. Determine the search method with the parameter "#1285 ext21/bit1 Program search type switch".

(Note 2) While the multi-part system program management is enabled, using the parameter "#1285 ext21/bit2 Multi-

part system program generation and operation", it is possible to determine the following processes for all the
part systems, or for each part system separately newly create, delete or rename an NC memory (including
MDI and machine tool builder macro) program, transfer it to the NC memory, and compare or merge between
them.

(Note 3) While the multi-part system program management is enabled, whether to perform the transfer from NC

memory to other device for all the part systems in batch or for each part system separately in multi-part system
program management can be determined with a parameter "#1286 ext22 bit 5 Selection of multi-part system
program input/output method".

<Multi-part system program management is INVALID (#1285 ext21/bit0 = 0)>

<Multi-part system program management is VALID (#1285 ext21/bit0 = 1)>

1.13.2 Restrictions

(1) This function is provided for NC memory (including MDI and machine tool builder macro) only.
(2) A file name can have up to 29 characters, including the extension. (Up to 32 characters when this function is

invalid.)
(3) The tape mode does not allow the batch search across all part systems.
(4) Set a verification stop position in a part system separately, even if this function is ON.

Another verification search position is required for the other part system.
(5) The restart search can be executed for all part systems in batch when type 1 is selected and no ONBP No. is

specified.
(6) The program check (2D)/(3D) allows the check search for all part systems in batch, although the drawings are not

common for all part systems. The [Check continu] and [Check step] menus are operated for the displayed part

system only.
(7) When outputting to the device other than NC memory of the machining program on the input/output screen,

machining programs of all the part systems are combined into one file and then output. However, when a parameter

"#1286 ext22 bit5 Selection of multi-part system program input/output method" is set to "1", only the machining

program of the displayed part system will be transferred.
(8) When a program including "$" is operated, a program error (P33) will occur.

Changing MSTB display

The MSTB display can be changed to the active area by the main [MST Chg] menu on the monitor screen of 2-part
system simultaneous display.
The MSTB display changes as follows every time the main menu is pressed.

The above S (spindle command rotation speed) display of <MSTB display> is designated by the parameter "#8925 SP
on 1st part sys" to "#8928 SP on 4th part sys". The number of spindle which can be specified in each part system is "2".
The maximum display number of M (miscellaneous function command value) is "2" regardless of the parameter "#12005
Mfig".
The maximum display number of T (tool command value) or B (2nd miscellaneous function command value) is "1"
regardless of the parameter "#12009 Tfig" or "#12011 Bfig". However, the display/non-display of B (2nd miscellaneous
function command value) depends on the setting of the parameter "#1170 M2name".
Whether to display the number of workpiece machining times or not can be set with a parameter "#8001 WRK COUNT
M". When it is set to "0", the number of workpiece machining times will not be displayed. <S+MTB+the number of
workpiece machining times display> will also not be displayed.

2.3 Restart Search

If machining is temporarily stopped due to tool breakage, etc., the program restart function searches for the block of the
machining program to be restarted, and restarts machining from that block.
There are two types of restart, type 1 and type 2.

Restart method Details

After machining is reset due to a tool breakage, etc., machining is restarted from the designated se­quence number and/or block number.
Only the program which had been executed just before can be restarted.
Even after the power is turned ON again, the program can be restarted if the program has been exe-

Restart type 2

cuted before the power supply is turned OFF.
(Note 1) In case that NC has been reset or the power supply has been turned OFF while fixed cycle,
custom fixed cycle, machine tool builder macro, or macro interruption is executed, the search with no
input to the setting will be performed for each source program.
(Note 2) When the user macro is executed, the user macro execution position is searched.

After machining program is stopped due to a holiday, etc., and the power is turned OFF and ON, ma­chining is restarted from the designated sequence number and/or block number.

Automatic top search OFF

Automatic top search ON

A top search must be executed from the screen. Then, command a se­quence No. and block No., and restart a program.

A top search may not be executed from the screen. A top search is auto­matically executed, so it is not necessary to execute a top search from the
screen.
Command a sequence No. and block No., and restart a machining.
An arbitrary program can be restarted by designating the program No.
When a program No. is omitted, the program currently searched is restart­ed.

The validity of the automatic top search can be changed with control parameter "#8914 Auto Top search".
