Review
This chapter does not aim to reflect the way an operator actually uses his machine. Rather, it attempts to explain certain
basic notions which will be referred to in this manual.
For example, in paragraph 1.2.4 (definition of shifts), the aim is not to impose a method of measuring shifts, but simply
to provide a definition of shifts and the corresponding zero points.
1.1System Overview
1.1.1Overview of Modes
The operator uses the numerical control (NC) in various operating modes
accessible from the operator panel.
Each mode corresponds to a particular use of the numerical control
(continuous machining, programme loading, tool setting, etc.).
MODE

1.1.2Defining a Programme
A programme is a sequence of instructions written in a programming language specific to the numerical control (the
most widely used is ISO code: International Standards Organization).
The numerical control interprets the programme to control actions on a machine-tool.
The most widespread storage media for programmes are punched tape and diskettes.

1.2Machine Overview
1.2.1Review of Axis Definition and Direction
A coordinate system is used to identify the positions and movements of an
object with respect to an origin or zero point.
A rectangular cartesian coordinate system is a right-handed three-axis
system of three linear axes, X, Y and Z, with which are associated three
rotary axes, A, B and C.
Review
1
Z
C
Y
B
The direction of axes X, Y and Z is easily remembered by the right-hand
rule.
The positive direction of rotation of a rotary axis corresponds to the
direction of screwing of a right-hand screw on the associated axis.

1.2.2Machine Overview
The manufacturer defines the coordinate system associated with the machine in accordance with standard ISO 841
(or NF Z68-020).
The X, Y and Z axes, parallel to the machine slideways, form a right-handed rectangular cartesian coordinate system.
The coordinate system measures tool movements with respect to the part to be machined, assumed fixed.
REMARKWhen it is the part that moves, it may be more convenient to identify its
movements. In this case, axes X’, Y’ and Z’, pointing in opposite directions from
axes X, Y and Z, are used.
The direction of the axis of a machine depends on the type of machine and the layout of its components.
For a lathe:
-the Z axis coincides with the spindle axis,
-the X axis is perpendicular to the Z axis and corresponds to radial movement of the tool-holder turret,
-the Y axis (generally fictional) forms a right-handed coordinate system with the X and Z axes.
Movement in the positive Z or X direction increases the distance between the part and the tool.
Rotary axes A, B and C define rotations around axes parallel to X, Y and Z.
Secondary linear axes U, V and W may or may not be parallel to primary axes X, Y and Z.
For more details, refer to the above-mentioned standard.

Review
1.2.3Definition of Travels and Origins
The NC processor computes all movements with respect to the measurement origin or zero point of the machine.
When the system is turned on, it does not know the measurement origin. The mechanical travel on each machine axis
is limited by maximum and minimum limit switches.

OM :
Om :
The homing procedure is completed for each of the axes when:
-the origin limit switch is actuated in the direction of movement specified by the m/c manufacturer (MOS direction),
-the encoder which measures axis movement outputs its marker pulse.
The system establishes the measurement origin (OM) via a homing procedure (MOS).
The home switch is set in a specific physical location: the machine zero point (Om) may or may not be the
same as the measurement origin (OM).

When homing (MOS) is completed, the system applies the shift defined by the manufacturer to each of the axes to
establish the measurement origin (OM).
Measurement origin shift (OM/Om) = ORPOM
The useful travel on each axis is established by software limits whose values are defined by the manufacturer.

1.2.4Definition of Shifts
To write a part programme, the programmer chooses a programme origin.
The programme origin is generally a starting point for dimensional measurements on the part drawing.

It is possible to set the DAT1 and DAT2 values from the part programme.
Shifts on the Z axis
The operator sets the programme origin (OP) as shown below:
He sets (for each axis) a known, accessible point on the part, called the part origin (Op). This may be the
same point as the programme origin.

1.2.6Definition of Tool Wear Offsets
At any time (even during machining), the operator can enter tool wear offsets when he observes a difference between
the expected and the actual results on a part.
The offsets (positive or negative) compensate for slight dimensional variations of the tool or part (wear, expansion).
Tool wear offset on X = DX (to the diameter)

2.2Switching on/off
2.2.1Switching on
Switch on the machine using the procedure defined by the OEM
Example of equipment power up sequence:
-general switching on (the CNC and the peripherals),
-switching on the power systems (with conditions related to the CNC).
When the CNC is switched on, a status window displays the following type of information:
12345
HOME
FREEM02CN1
1Increment indicator: "FREE" is the default setting (another
increment can be selected by the PLC)
2"HOME" indicator: the measurement origin settings still to be
performed on the declared axes
3"M02" indicator: normal status of the system when not machining
(the "RESET" indicator is displayed if there is no PLC programme
or the PLC is faulty)
4"CN1" indicator: in single-panel configuration (single or multiple
CNC), the first CNC is the default CNC
5"OVER" and "CAPS" indicators: text editor is set to overtype
mode and upper case letters when the system is switched on
If one of these indicators is missing, a fault may be present on the system.
Notes
If the power to the CNC is switched off and back on, all the machining parameters (shifts, tool offsets, etc.) remain
stored; only the measurement origin is lost.
Incidents
Any message displayed when the CNC is switched on (See chapter 7) is linked to a system fault.
OVER
CAPS
2.2.2Restart Following an Emergency Stop
An emergency stop automatically switches off the power to the machine actuators. The CNC remains energised and
retains all the machining data including movement commands.
Reset all the current movement commands.☞

3.1.4Softkeys
The softkeys of the compact panel differ from those of the other CNC panels. Since the compact panel has fewer keys,
certain keys of the CNC panels are replaced by softkeys (see the sections “Special Case of the Compact Panel”).
These softkeys are accessible in special softkey bars of the compact panel:
-The root softkey bar gives access to the Mode, Jog, Tool and Character softkeys
-The first Jog softkey bar is used to select the axis controlled by the jogs
-The two Mode softkey bars, the Tool softkey bar and the second Jog softkey bar (only Jog softkey bar on CNC
panels) are different
-The Character softkey bars allow entry of characters not available on the compact panel keyboard.

3.2Interactions Between Mode Selections and Display Pages
3.2.1Neutral Mode
When the CNC is switched on, no mode is active and the "current mode" field of the status window is not displayed:
the CNC is in neutral mode.
The alphanumeric keyboard is inactivated.
3.2.2Interactions between Modes
When a mode is selected from the Mode softkeys, its name is automatically displayed in the "current mode" field of
the status window (assuming that the selection is authorised by the machine processor).
Two modes cannot be active at the same time:
-when no cycle is in progress (indicator "M02" displayed in the status window), each time a mode is selected, it
replaces the previous selection,
-when a cycle is in progress (indicator "INCYC" displayed in the status window), each time a new mode is selected,
its name is displayed in the "standby mode" field.
When a mode is on standby, it is activated:
-at the end of a cycle for all modes except automatic mode,
-at the end of a block for automatic mode (or at the end of a cycle if the block being executed comprises a canned
machining cycle such as G31 or G81).
3.2.3Interactions between Modes and Display Pages
When a display page is selected from the basic softkeys, this page is displayed in the main window.
Changing pages returns the CNC to neutral mode in the following cases:
-if the CNC is in edit or origin shift mode (SHIFTS)
-if the CNC is in loading or unloading mode but not in progress
When the system is in edit mode and a new mode (other than homing, loading and unloading) is selected, the "current
position" page is displayed.
Irrrespective of which mode is active, when the:
-edit mode is selected, the active programme is displayed,
-homing mode is selected, the SHIFTS page is displayed,
-loading mode is selected, the "FILE LOADING" menu is displayed,
-unloading mode is selected, the "FILE UNLOADING" menu is displayed unless the CNC is in graphic display mode.

4.6.2Machining Simulation
Machining simulation is used to visually check that the programme runs as expected (part dimensions and sequencing
of operations).
Simulated machining is based on real machining performed by the CNC in automatic (See 5.4.3.5) and single step
modes (See 5.4.3.3), but no real axis motion takes place.
Programmed interventions (M00, M12, data input, etc.) are not taken into account during simulation.
External parameters (E) are not modified during simulation.

4.6.3Machining Simulation by Material Removal
REMARKMachining simulation by material removal concerns only turning operations. It is
therefore not applicable to dedicated cylindrical grinding systems.
Machining simulation by material removal allows a preview of machining on a turned part.
It allows:
-a visual check of the part shape,
-a check of the absence of collision between the tool and the displayed blank.
Simulation proceeds like real machining on the CNC in automatic mode (see 5.4.3.5) or single-step mode (see 5.4.3.3)
but does not involve actual machining.
Programmed actions (M00, M12, manual data input, etc.) are ignored during simulation.
The external parameters (E) are not modified during simulation.
During simulated material removal, if unit used for defining the tool geometries (see 4.6.5.4) present in file %9920.1
is different from the display unit, the units are converted. If no unit is declared in this file, the default unit is the millimetre.
Requirements
