the operation without the motor or drive unit. The following shows the procedures.
Setting up without Connecting to the Motor
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_n o" (for the spindle axis) to th e axis that is no t
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.
There are two types of the absolute position zero point initialization set, "dogless-type" and "dog-type".
"Dogless-type" has three methods: "machine end stopper method", "marked point alignment method" and
"marked point alignment method II".
Set the parameter "#2049 type (Absolu te position detection method)" for the type and m etho d of abso lu te

(Note 2) If aligning to the marked point is attempted without passing the grid point even 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 the step of aligning the axis on the marked point.
(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 the zero point shift ("#202 7 G28sft") is
invalid.

MITSUBISHI CNC
Following functions are available for setting a tool entry prohibited range to detect over travels (OT).
(1) (1)(2)(2)
WARNING
(1) Stroke end (H/W OT)
The limit switch signal will detect the stroke end and limit the movement of the axis.
(2) Stored stroke limit (S/W OT)
Prohibited ranges are set with parameters.
When stroke end (H/W OT) is set, the axis will move the distance required to decelerate and stop after H/W
OT is activated.
When stored stroke limit (S/W OT) is set, the axis will stop before the prohibited range of S/W OT including
the deceleration distance.
For safety, set the stroke end (H/W OT) and also, the stored stroke limit (S/W OT).
Stroke end (H/W OT) and stored stroke limit (S/W OT) must always be set. If not, the tool may hit the
machine end.
8.1 Stroke End (H/W OT)
The axis movement is controlled by the limit switch which detects the stroke end.
Signal device No. is allocated by the following par ame te rs.
Parameter "#2074" and "#2075" will be valid only when "#1226 aux10/bit" is set to "1".
#1226 aux10/bit5: Set to "1" (assigning the signal is valid).
#2074 H/W OT+: Set the input device for assigning the OT (+) signal. (Setting range 0000 to 02FF
(Hexadecimal))
#2075 H/W OT-: Set the input device for assigning the OT (-) signal. (Setting range 0000 to 02FF
(Hexadecimal))
(Note 1) When "OT IGNORED" (R248) signal is set to ON, the stroke end signal associated with a specific
control axis can be ignored.
(Note 2) When parameter "#1226 aux10/bit5" is set to "1", do not set the same device No. to #2073 to
#2075.
Setting the same device No. may cause the emergency stop. However, the device number will not
be checked for the axis which is set the signal to ignore (R248,R272).

Valid Conditions of Stored Stroke Limit
CAUTION
When using the relative position detection system, the stored stroke limit is invalid until the reference
position return is completed after the power is turned ON.
The stored stroke limit can be validated even if the reference position return is not yet completed, by
setting "#2049 type (Absolute position detection method)" to "9".
(Note) If the absolute position detection is valid when using the absolute position detection system,
the stored stroke limit will be validated immediately after the power is turned ON.
Stored Stroke Limit Coordinates
The stored stroke limit check is carried out in the basic machine coordinate system established by the
reference position return.
When the stored stroke limit has been validated while the reference position return has not been
completed, the stored stroke limit check is executed with the basic machine coordinate system at the
time of last power-OFF as temporary one.
When the 1st dog-type reference position return is completed after the power is turned ON, the proper
coordinate system is established.
(Note) While the reference position return has not been completed, only the manual and handle feed
mode allow the axis movement. Automatic operation is validated after the reference position
return is completed.
Always set the stored stroke limit. Failure to set this could result in collision with the machine end.

M700VS Series Setup Manual
8.2 Stored stroke limit (S/W OT)
8.2.2 Detailed Explanation
The stored stroke limit sets a prohibited range with the parameters or pro gram command. The minim um and
maximum values of the prohibited range are set as the coordinate value (radius value) on the machine
coordinate system for each axis.
- The stroke check will not be executed when both maximum and minimum value are set to the same
value.
- This function is valid after the reference position return if the system does not apply the absolute
position detection system.
- Before the machine enters the prohibited range, an error "M01 Operation error 0007" (S/W stroke end)
will occur, and the machine movement will stop. The alarm can be reset by moving the erroneous axis in
the opposite direction.
- During automatic operation, if an alarm occurs with even one axis, all axes will decelerate to a stop.
- During manual operation, only the axis that caused the alarm will decelerate to a stop.
- The axis will always stop at a position before the prohibited range.
- The distance between the prohibited range and stop position will depend on the feedrate, etc.
The stored stroke limits I, II, IIB, IB and IC are handled as follows.
