The machine is equipped with safety devices which serve to protect personnel and the machine
itself from hazards arising from unforeseen accidents. However, operators must not rely exclusively
on these safety devices: they must also become fully familiar with the safety guidelines presented
below to ensure accident-free operation.
This instruction manual and the warning signs attached to the machine cover only those hazards
which Okuma can predict. Be aware that they do not cover all possible hazards.
1.Precautions Relating to Machine Installation
(1) Install the machine at a site where the following conditions (the conditions for achievement of
the guaranteed accuracy) apply.
• Ambient temperature:17 to 25°C
• Ambient humidity:40% to 75% at 20°C (no condensation)
• Site not subject to direct sunlight or excessive vibration; environment as free of dust, acid,
corrosive gases, and salt spray as possible.
(2) Prepare a primary power supply that complies with the following requirements.
• Voltage: 200 V
• Voltage fluctuation: ±10% max.
• Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Do not draw the primary power supply from a distribution panel that also supplies a major
noise source (for example, an electric welder or electric discharge machine) since this could
cause malfunction of the CNC unit.
Eeoemm1pl001
Eeoemm1pl002
• If possible, connect the machine to a ground not used by any other equipment. If there is no
choice but to use a common ground, the other equipment must not generate a large amount
of noise (such as an electric welder or electric discharge machine).
(3) Installation Environment
Observe the following points when installing the control enclosure.
• Make sure that the CNC unit will not be subject to direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the control enclosure will not be splashed with chips, water, or oil.
• Make sure that the control enclosure and operation panel are not subject to excessive vibra-
tions or shock.
• The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 0 to 40°C.
• The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is 30 to 95% (no conden-
sation).
• The maximum altitude at which the control enclosure can be used is 1000 m (3281ft.).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.Points to Check before Turning on the Power
4290-E P-(ii)
(1) Close all the doors of the control enclosure and operation panel to prevent the entry of water,
chips, and dust.
(2) Make absolutely sure that there is nobody near the moving parts of the machine, and that there
are no obstacles around the machine, before starting machine operation.
(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL
ON switch on the operation panel.
3.Precautions Relating to Operation
(1) After turning on the power, carry out inspection and adjustment in accordance with the daily
inspection procedure described in this instruction manual.
(2) Use tools whose dimensions and type are appropriate for the work undertaken and the machine
specifications. Do not use badly worn tools since they can cause accidents.
(3) Do not, for any reason, touch the spindle or tool while spindle indexing is in progress since the
spindle could rotate: this is dangerous.
(4) Check that the workpiece and tool are properly secured.
(5) Never touch a workpiece or tool while it is rotating: this is extremely dangerous.
(6) Do not remove chips by hand while machining is in progress since this is dangerous. Always
stop the machine first, then remove the chips with a brush or broom.
(7) Do not operate the machine with any of the safety devices removed. Do not operate the
machine with any of the covers removed unless it is necessary to do so.
Eeoemm1pl003
Eeoemm1pl004
(8) Always stop the machine before mounting or removing a tool.
(9) Do not approach or touch any moving part of the machine while it is operating.
(10) Do not touch any switch or button with wet hands. This is extremely dangerous.
(11) Before using any switch or button on the operation panel, check that it is the one intended.
4.Precautions Relating to the ATC
(1) The tool clamps of the magazine, spindle, etc., are designed for reliability, but it is possible that
a tool could be released and fall in the event of an unforeseen accident, exposing you to danger:
do not touch or approach the ATC mechanism during ATC operation.
(2) Always inspect and change tools in the magazine in the manual magazine interrupt mode.
(3) Remove chips adhering to the magazine at appropriate intervals since they can cause misoper-
ation. Do not use compressed air to remove these chips since it will only push the chips further
in.
(4) If the ATC stops during operation for some reason and it has to be inspected without turning the
power off, do not touch the ATC since it may start moving suddenly.
Eeoemm1pl005
5.On Finishing Work

(4) Use only the specified replacement parts and fuses.
Eeoemm1pl007
(5) Always turn the power off before starting inspection or changing parts.
(6) When parts are removed during inspection or repair work, always replace them as they were
and secure them properly with their screws, etc.
(7) When carrying out inspections in which measuring instruments are used - for example voltage
checks - make sure the instrument is properly calibrated.
(8) Do not keep combustible materials or metals inside the control enclosure or terminal box.
(9) Check that cables and wires are free of damage: damaged cables and wires will cause current
leakage and electric shocks.
(10) Maintenance inside the Control Enclosure
a) Switch the main power disconnect switch OFF before opening the control enclosure door.
b) Even when the main power disconnect switch is OFF, there may some residual charge in
the MCS drive unit (servo/spindle), and for this reason only service personnel are permitted
to perform any work on this unit. Even then, they must observe the following precautions.
• MCS drive unit (servo/spindle)
The residual voltage discharges two minutes after the main switch is turned OFF.
c) The control enclosure contains the NC unit, and the NC unit has a printed circuit board
whose memory stores the machining programs, parameters, etc. In order to ensure that the
contents of this memory will be retained even when the power is switched off, the memory is
supplied with power by a battery. Depending on how the printed circuit boards are handled,
the contents of the memory may be destroyed and for this reason only service personnel
should handle these boards.
(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosure
a) Cleaning the cooling unit
The cooling unit in the door of the control enclosure serves to prevent excessive temperature rise inside the control enclosure and increase the reliability of the NC unit. Inspect the
following points every three months.
• Is the fan motor inside the cooling unit working?
The motor is normal if there is a strong draft from the unit.
• Is the external air inlet blocked?
If it is blocked, clean it with compressed air.

2-2.Screen Operations
4290-E P-22
SECTION 1 PART NAMES AND FUNCTION
There are three methods for moving between screens, as described below.
(1) Menu based screen selection
Screen selection from the menu is used in automatic, MDI, and manual operation modes and
parameter, zero point, and tool data setting modes.
Select the [DISPLAY CHANGE] function menu item on the initial screen of each mode to display the DISPLAY CHANGE pop-up window.
Eeoemm1b2023
Fig.1-1 DISPLAY CHANGE Pop-up Window
EIOEMM1B2031R01
Use the up/down cursor keys to select the screen to be displayed, then select [CLOSE] from the
function menu to switch to that screen.
Pressing the (WRITE) key when the cursor is located on [CLOSE] in the DISPLAY
CHANGE pop-up window has the same effect as selecting [CLOSE] from the function menu.
[Supplement]
In the parameter setting, zero point setting, and tool data setting modes, the current screen
can be reversed to the previous one or advanced to the next one by depression of F6]
(ITEM↑) [or [F7] (ITEM↓). This is just the same as you select the screen before or after the
current screen from the menu.
[F6] (ITEM↑): The screen reverses to the one displayed before the current screen.
[F7] (ITEM↓): The screen advances to the one displayed after the current screen.
4290-E P-23
SECTION 1 PART NAMES AND FUNCTION
(2) Transition between functions (short-cut operation)
This method is available only in the operation modes (automatic operation mode, MDI operation
mode, manual operation mode).
Select [DISPLAY CHANGE] from the function menu on the initial screen for any operation mode
to display a pop-up menu with the names of the screens that can be displayed indicated in it.
Fig.1-2 Pop-up Function Menu
Selecting the required screen from this pop-up menu gives short-cut access to it.
(3) Screen transitions with the page keys
The page keys are used when the currently displayed screen has more than one page, and for
switching between enlarged and batch displays on the ACTUAL POSITION display screen.
a) Switching among multiple pages
Whether or not the currently displayed screen has multiple pages can be determined from
the page label at the top right of the screen. If there is only one page there is no page label;
if there are multiple pages the label shows an expression indicating the page number and
total number of pages, for example “1/4.”
If there are multiple pages, the other pages can be viewed by pressing the page keys.
EIOEMM1B2032R01
b) Switching actual position screen between normal display and detail display
The ACTUAL POSITION display screen has four forms: two normal display screens and two
detail display screens. The detail display screen displays more or less all of the required
information on one screen. It is possible to switch the display screens by pressing the page
keys.
The ACTUAL POSITION display screen can enlarge only the X-, Y- and, Z-axis data.
When you select [F2] (ACT POSI ENLARGE) from the function menu on the actual position
display screen, the actual position pop-up window appears.
Select a required coordinate system (or relative actual position) from the pop-up function
menu, and the actual position data in the selected coordinate system appears.
2-2-1.Function Menu
4290-E P-24
SECTION 1 PART NAMES AND FUNCTION
(1) Function menu selection
In cases where it is not possible to display all the function menu items corresponding to function
keys F1 through F8 on one screen, a black triangular symbol is displayed at the right end of the
function menu.
When this symbol is displayed, the function menu items not currently displayed can be displayed by pressing the [Extend] key located to the right of the [F8] key.
Fig.1-3 Function Menu Selection
(2) Pop-up Function Menus
If a function displayed in the function menu has a sub menu, selecting that function menu item
causes the sub menu to be displayed superimposed on the existing function menu. This kind of
menu is called a “pop-up function menu”. This menu is closed by selecting [CLOSE] from the
function menu. (With some functions, the menu automatically closes on completion of command execution.)

4-1.ATC Operation
4290-E P-35
SECTION 3 MANUAL OPERATION
The ATC is classified into the memory-random type and the fixed-address type.
The subsection 4-1-1 explains the operations needed only for the memory-random ATC.
The subsection 4-1-2 describes the operations applied to both memory-random and fixed-address
ATCs.
Eeoemm1o3022
4-1-1.Setting Tool Numbers to Pot Numbers on Memory-random ATC
In the memory-random ATC system, the tool in the spindle is returned to the tool pot where the tool
to be set in the spindle next was held. Therefore, the correspondence between the tool pot numbers
and the tool numbers changes each time an automatic tool change cycle is carried out. This means
that the initial correspondence between the tool numbers and the tool pot numbers must be set
before starting the ATC.
For setting this correspondence, there are two methods as shown below.
(a) Make the table listing the correspondence between the tool numbers and tool pot numbers
beforehand and set the correspondence at the ATC TOOL SET (POT REF) screen. At the magazine, set the tools to the tool pots according to the set correspondence.
(b) After mounting a tool in the spindle, return it to the specified tool pot or to an empty pot selected
automatically by manual tool change operation.
For method a), refer to ATC Pot Number/Tool Number Correspondence in SECTION 3 TOOL DATA

Tool change arm operation called by pressing the [RETURN CYCLE START] key depends
on the tool change arm position, before or after the 180° rotation of the tool change arm.
In a return cycle called before the tool change arm rotation, tool change is not executed and
a tool return operation is executed from the position where the [RETURN CYCLE START]
key is pressed. If a return cycle is called after the tool change arm rotation, the ATC cycle
continues.
• <1 STEP ADVANCE key>
Advances a tool change cycle step by step.
If the cycle does not advance even if the [1 STEP ADVANCE] key is pressed due to interlock
(tool change position and the completion of spindle orientation), press this key while pressing the [INTERLOCK RELEASE] key. Interlock is disregarded and the cycle advances.
If RUN is displayed although the ATC is not actually moving, pressing of the [1 STEP
ADVANCE] key is disregarded.
In this case, clear the RUN message by resetting the NC. After that press the [1 STEP
ADVANCE] key.
If mechanical conditions are not satisfied, such conditions are not disregarded even if the
[INTERLOCK RELEASE] key is pressed. Therefore, if the [1 STEP ADVANCE] key is
pressed with the [INTERLOCK RELEASE] key in the state the mechanical condition is not
satisfied, ATC cycle does not advance with the RUN message remaining displayed.
• <1 STEP REVERSE key>
Causes the ATC cycle in the reverse order step by step in the similar manner as if the [1

conditions are identical to those for 1-step advance operation.
EIOEMM1O3005r01
• <INTERLOCK RELEASE key>
Used to disregard the interlock conditions (completion of spindle orientation and tool change
position) while the [INTERLOCK RELEASE] key is pressed. Other mechanical conditions
are not disregarded even if this key is pressed.
• For actual ATC operation, refer to the maintenance manual for your machine.
Recovering ATC operation
4290-E P-42
SECTION 3 MANUAL OPERATION
• If the ATC stops during the cycle, discover the unsatisfied condition by displaying the machine
diagnosis message and, after restoring the condition, reset the ATC sequence number to “1” in
1-step advance operation.
For machine diagnosis messages, refer to the maintenance manual for your machine.
• If the power is interrupted during ATC cycle, the interlock conditions (completion of spindle ori-
entation and tool change position) are lost. To recover the ATC, operate the ATC using the [1
STEP ADVANCE] and [INTERLOCK RELEASE] keys to reset the ATC sequence number to “1”.
• If the NC is reset during ATC cycle, recover the ATC using the [1 STEP ADVANCE], [1 STEP
RETURN] and [RETURN CYCLE START] keys.
• If you reset the NC while a tool return cycle is executed, the next tool number is not reset to “0”
even if the ATC sequence number is returned to “1” using the [RETURN CYCLE START] key.
However, the next tool number is reset to “0” before execution of a tool return cycle. This is
because, if the return cycle was interrupted near the end of the cycle and the next tool number
is written with ATC sequence number set to 1 using [1 STEP ADVANCE] key, a tool return cycle
will be executed in most cases.
To set “0” for the next tool number, select the MDI mode, input “T00”, then press the [CYCLE
START] button while pressing the WRITE key.
It is not possible to set “0” for the next tool number in the tool data setting operation. To set a
number other than “0” for the next tool number, set a desired number using the tool data setting
operation.

For the spindle head (Y-axis), the spindle ram (Z-axis), and the crossrail (W-axis), if the
clamp/unclamp switch is turned up, the indicating lamp of the switch lights and the axis is
clamped. Turning down the switch causes the indicating lamp to go off and the axis is
unclamped.
If the axis is clamped during manual feed, the axis stops moving and is clamped.
Note that the axis is clamped against the slideway surface and clamping the axis during axis
feed will accelerate abrasion of the slideway surface. Therefore, do not clamp the axis while
it is moving.
When the power is turned off, the Y-axis, the Z-axis, and the crossrail are all unclamped.
SECTION 4MDI OPERATION
4290-E P-52
SECTION 4 MDI OPERATION
MDI is the abbreviation for “manual data input”. This function allows a program to be written one
block at a time by inputting commands at the keyboard, and executed in the same way as in automatic operation.
[Preparation before MDI operation]
Press the operation mode selection key [MDI] to establish the MDI operation mode.
1.Procedure for MDI Operation
To perform MDI operation, follow the procedure below:
Procedure :
1 Input one block of commands.
The data is displayed in the “INPUT” field.
2 Press the [WRITE] key.
The input data is transferred to the BUFFER field. Note that RTMDI (Return from MDI) is automatically inserted in addition to the data input in the “BUFFER” display area.
It is not possible to input more than one block of data to the BUFFER field or BUFFER display
area.
If a block of data is input to the BUFFER field although it already contains a block, this existing
input data is cleared.
Eeoemm1o4001
Eeoemm1o4002
3 Press the [CYCLE START] button.
The data in the BUFFER display area is transferred to the CURRENT display area and the
commands are executed.
4 Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
SECTION 4 MDI OPERATION
2.Automatic Operation and MDI Operation
4290-E P-53
• It is possible to interrupt automatic operation to execute MDI operation.
• When the operation mode is changed from automatic to MDI, the blocks having been read to
buffer area (“〉〉” symbol indicates the last block in the buffer area) are executed and then the
operation stops. Operation mode is changed to MDI after that.
If the NC is operating with the single block function ON, the operation mode changes to MDI
after the completion of the block that was executed when the MDI mode was selected.
Fig.4-1 Changing Operation Mode between Automatic and MDI
• If operation mode is changed to MDI during the execution of N110 block while the NC is operat-
ing in the automatic mode (single block function OFF), the program is executed up to N113
block then the NC stops. MDI operation may be executed in this state. After executing several
blocks in the MDI mode, return the operation mode to automatic and the execution of the program restarts from N114.
• The commands entered in the MDI mode are executed in the same manner as if they were
specified in a program. Therefore, the modal information executed in the MDI mode operation
remains valid when the operation mode is changed to automatic. Similarly, the modal information valid at the time the mode was changed from automatic to MDI applies to the commands
executed in the MDI mode.
Eeoemm1o4003
EIOEMM1O4002r01
• If the mode is changed from automatic to MDI in the cutter radius compensation mode, the
compensation mode is valid for the axis feed commands executed in the MDI mode.
• If the mode is changed to MDI during automatic operation (single block function OFF), it is pos-
sible to input commands while the present block is executed. This allows the input commands
to be executed immediately after the completion of the present block.
Whether this operation is enabled or not is set at PROGRAM BUFFERING of NC optional
parameter (OPERATING RELATION PARAMETER).
3.Subprogram Call in MDI Operation
4290-E P-54
SECTION 4 MDI OPERATION
• In MDI operation, although the “call after axis move” (MODIN) command cannot be used, sim-
ple call command (CALL) may be used. To call a subprogram, however, it is necessary to select
a main program that contains the command to call the desired subprogram before calling it in
MDI operation.
• During the execution of a subprogram, ON/OFF setting of the single block function is valid. If a
subprogram is called with the single block function OFF, the called subprogram is executed to
the end before the operation stops. If the single block function is ON, the operation stops after
the execution of one block in the subprogram. The subprogram is then executed block by block
as the [CYCLE START] button is pressed.
It is not allowed to input new data until the execution of subprogram ends.
[Supplement]
1) Commands not executable in MDI operation
• Branch commands (GOTO, IF)
• Schedule program commands (VSET, PSELECT, etc.)
2) MDI operation is permitted even during the execution of a schedule program if a main program is not executed.
3) The [CYCLE START] button becomes valid when it is released.

SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
SECTION 5AUTOMATIC OPERATION
4290-E P-55
“Automatic operation” means operation of the machine according to the operation commands in a
program.
1.Program Files
There are the following four types of files:
• Main program files
• Subprogram files
• System subprogram files
• Schedule program files
Part programs are managed by classifying them according to the type of part (for example gear,
shaft or flange), and this is achieved by assigning both a “main file name” and “extension”.
Main file name: Consists of a character-string of 16 characters beginning with an alphabetic character.
Extension: Consists of a character-string of 3 characters beginning with an alphabetic character.
The following characters can be used for file names: alphabetic characters, numerals and “-”
(hyphen).
A program is assigned a “main file name” first, then an “extension”. A period must be entered as a
delimiter between the main file name and the extension.
Normally, a program file comprises one or more programs: programs within a program file are delimited by program names and program numbers and are handled as different programs.
Program names and program numbers are constituted as follows:
Eeoemm1o5001
Eeoemm1o5002
• Program name: Address character “O” and four alphanumerics beginning with an alphabetic
character.
• Program number: Address character “O” and four numerals.
Programs begin and end in four different ways depending on the type of program file, as follows.
• Main program
Begins with “program number” and ends with “M02” or “M30”.
• Subprogram
Begins with “program number” and ends with “RTS”.
• System subprogram
Same as subprograms.
• Schedule program
All the data in a schedule program file is the schedule program itself.
4290-E P-56
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
(1) Main Program Files
Format for file name: Main file name.MIN
A file comprising one or more main programs, with the main file name followed by the extension
“MIN”.
There are two methods for making a main program file:
• Classifying programs according to type of workpiece, such as “gear”, “shaft”, or “flange”.
• Assigning programs for each workpiece one file name.
(2) Subprogram Files
Format for file name: Main file name.SUB
Patterns often repeated when cutting parts are filed in a subprogram file when preparing part
programs.
A subprogram file comprises one or more subprograms, with “SUB” used as the extension.
When selecting a main program that calls subprograms, the subprogram file for the relevant
subprogram(s) must also be called.
(3) System Subprogram Files
Format for file name: Main file name.SSB
Basically, system subprogram files are the same as the subprogram files explained above.
However, whereas subprogram files are called at any time as required, system subprogram
files are stored in the operation memory as frequently used machining patterns.
A system subprogram file comprises one or more system subprograms, and the file name consists of the main file name and the extension “SSB”.
Once stored in the operation memory, programs can be accessed from the main program as
required.
(4) Schedule Program File
Format for file name: Main file name.SDF
Schedule programs are used when controlling several part programs prepared in accordance
with a production schedule.
A schedule program file consists of one schedule program, and its file name is suffixed by
“SDF”.
[Preparation before automatic operation]
Press the operation mode selection key [AUTO] to establish the automatic operation mode.

3-2.Slide Hold
4290-E P-63
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Axis feed or program execution started by pressing the [CYCLE START] button can be suspended
by pressing the [SLIDE HOLD] button.
“Slide hold” means a stop during axis feed, while “start-up hold” means a stop either before or after
execution of axis motion commands.
“Slide hold” and “start-up hold” can be classified as follows:
(1) Stop during function generation
If the [SLIDE HOLD] button is pressed during rapid traverse or cutting feed, this axis motion is
stopped, with deceleration if necessary. If the axis stops before it reaches the target point, the
machine is placed in the slide hold state. If the axis has already reached the target point before
the operation is stopped by pressing the [SLIDE HOLD] button, all other machine operations
specified in the same block are completed before the machine enters the start-up hold state
(the same state as a stop in the single block mode, or program stop).
The machine also enters the slide hold state if a dwell operation is aborted due to the pressing
of the [SLIDE HOLD] button.
(2) Stop during operations other than function generation (during miscellaneous function opera-
tions)
If the [SLIDE HOLD] button is pressed during the execution of a miscellaneous function, the
[SLIDE HOLD] indicating lamp lights although the miscellaneous function operation does not
stop. Since the machine stops after the completion of the miscellaneous function operation, the
machine enters the start-up hold state.

M140 or M141 is executed. When the NC is reset, M141 is valid.
4.Resetting the NC
4290-E P-65
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
“Resetting” the NC means initializing the internal state of the NC unit.
The NC is reset in the following cases:
• When the [RESET] switch on the NC operation panel is pressed.
• When the [MACHINE LOCK] key on the machine operation panel is turned on or off.
• When the NC operation mode is changed from manual to MDI or automatic by pressing the
(MDI) or (AUTO) mode selection key on the NC operation panel.
• When the NC operation mode is changed from automatic or MDI to manual by pressing the
(MANUAL) mode selection key on the NC operation panel.
• When the operation mode is changed from manual to a data setting mode with the mode selec-
tion keys on the NC operation panel, the NC is not reset; however, the NC is reset when the
mode is next changed to automatic or MDI.
When the NC is reset, the machine stops immediately and the internal state of the NC unit is initialized.
Eeoemm1o5007
NOTICE
If the [RESET] switch is pressed while an axis is moving, the axis motion stops after deceleration.
The NC is actually initialized after the axis has stopped. Note that even if the [RESET] switch is
held down, the NC is reset only once.

On completion of the sequence search, the SEQUENCE NUMBER SEARCH pop-up window
closes.
An error is displayed in the following cases:
• When the designated sequence name does not exist in the program.
• When a schedule program file is being executed (from schedule cycle start to END).
• Whether or not sequence number search is permitted during the execution of a schedule pro-
gram is set at SEQUENCE NUMBER SEARCH AFTER NC START of NC optional parameter
(OPERATING RELATION PARAMETER).
• When the main program has not been selected correctly.
[Supplement]
1) It is possible to execute a sequence number search during execution of a schedule program or main program, provided that the NC is reset immediately beforehand.
2) It is also possible to carry out a sequence number search in the same manner as in a normal part program.

This method of sequence search (using cursor keys) is also usable on the screen showing a
main program.
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
5-2.Mid-Cycle Start (Start after Sequence Number Search)
4290-E P-69
When the [CYCLE START] button is pressed after a sequence number search, the program is executed from the present pointer position.
Since the program part skipped due to sequence number search is all invalid, achieve the status
that would result from executing the skipped part of the program before pressing the [CYCLE
START] button.
[Supplement]
1) The sequence number search operation just moves the pointer; modal command values and
coordinate command values are all disregarded.
Instructions relating to subprograms such as CALL and GOTO are also disregarded.
2) A sequence number search is used when restarting operation from the division between one
machining process and the next. For details on restarting at a block part way through machining, refer to “Return Search”.
3) In a sequence number search, it is not possible to specify the number of times a sequence
should be repeated.
4) The presence of “/” (block delete) has no effect on a sequence number search.
Eeoemm1o5012
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
6.Return Search and Sequence Restart
4290-E P-70
The return search and sequence restart functions are used to restart automatic operation after taking necessary measures like changing a tool if automatic operation is interrupted due to problems
such as tool breakage.
The procedure for restarting an interrupted automatic operation using these functions is indicated
below. The return search function processes the program up to the specified sequence while moving the pointer. After that the sequence restart function moves the axes to the final target point of the
program having been processed at a cutting feedrate when the [SEQUENCE RESTART] key is
pressed. Then, the automatic operation restarts from the specified sequence when the [CYCLE
START] button is pressed.
6-1.Return Search

SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
3 Specify the return search method - input a sequence name or block counter, or select [F6]
(LAST) from the pop-up function menu.
When you input the sequence name, the screen shows the relative number of blocks from
sequence name to the return point (SEQ. NAME/BLK COUNTER) and the number of repetitions (REPEAT NUMBER) in addition to the current display.
Each of these input items is explained below. (For more details, refer to “SPECIAL FUNCTIONS MANUAL SECTION 4 UPGADED SEQUENCE RESTART FUNCTION, Sequence
Restart command”)
• SEQ. NAME/BLK COUNTER
Input the number of relative blocks from the sequence name to the return point.
• REPEAT NUMBER
Input the number of times the specified sequence should be repeated. Setting is possible for up to “9999” and if entry is omitted, it is regarded as “1”.
• AXIS MOVEMENT ORDER
Select from “NONE”, “+X”, “+Y”, “+Z”, “-X”, “-Y” and “-Z”.
Positive and negative signs (+, -) before the axis name means “move to the first” and
“move to the last”, respectively.
• MID-BLOCK RESTART (only when the mid-block restart function is selected)
Select from NONE, MC POSIT and SLIDE HOLD.
• RETURN AXIS
Input is required for this item only when “MC POSIT” is selected for “MID-BLOCK
START”.
Input any of “X”, “Y” and “Z”.
• REAL 3D GRAPHIC DRAW DURING RESTART
Choose whether the animation drawing (real 3D) is effective or ineffective during restart
operation.
To specify the sequence blocks to the end of program, select [F6] (LAST) from the popup function menu. If [F6] (LAST) is selected, the data set at the RESTART pop-up window is ignored.
[Supplement]
The sequence name or block counter input field can accept the input of asterisk “*”.
The asterisk “*” means the previously executed block counter value (displayed on the title bar
of the screen). Further, + or – sign can be used for addition or subtraction of the block counter
value.
4290-E P-72
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Ex. If you input “*–2” when the previous counter value is 415, the program return to the
block No. 413.
If a block counter is input instead of a sequence name, the RESTART pop-up window
does not display the relative number of blocks from the sequence name to the return
point or the number of repetitions.
Set the other items in the same manner as the items displayed by the input of a
sequence name.
Fig.5-7 RESTART Pop-up Windows
EIOEMM1O5013r01
4 Select [F7] (OK).
The return operation is performed up to the specified sequence.
The return operation is performed in the same manner as normal operation excluding that function generation and external output of S, T and M codes are not executed. Subprogram call,
return from a subprogram and coordinate system shift are all executed.
The term “block count” means the counted number of executed sequences beginning with the
start of program after resetting. Control statement such as GOTO and CALL is not counted.
Since the block count data and the sequence name are not cleared by the NC reset operation
or turning on/off of the power, they can be used effectively for restoring the operation after
resetting the NC. They are cleared at the start-up of the NC.
[Supplement]
1) An error occurs if return search is executed during the execution of a schedule or main program.
2) If [F6] (LAST) is selected for the return search method, [F2] restart operation is possible up
to M02 (or M30) in a program. In this case, the NC is not reset by M02 (or M30).
6-2.Sequence Restart
4290-E P-73
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The sequence restart operation is possible only after the completion of return search operation.
(For return search, refer to “Return Search”.)
The status of the NC that should be after the execution of the program up to the specified sequence
is restored automatically in the order indicated below when the [SEQUENCE RESTART] key is
pressed.
6-2-1.Automatic restoration of miscellaneous functions
• Restoring the last S code
If there is an S command, the S code of that command is executed unconditionally.
• T code is not restored automatically.
Since a T code (next tool command) is not restored automatically, it is necessary to set the correct tool number in the tool data setting mode if the presently displayed next tool number is
incorrect. If the next tool number is “0”, input it in the MDI operation before executing search.
• Only M codes related to spindle operation can be restored.
Since M codes are processed in groups, the last modal state of the individual M code groups is
restored.
• M03, M04, M05 and M19 are regarded as M codes in the same group, and the last state of
them is restored.
• M codes related to ATC operation (M06, M63, M64 and M65) and those related to APC
operation (M60, etc.) are not restored automatically. The operator must select a tool.
• One-shot M codes (M00, M01, etc.) are not restored automatically.
• The axes move to the point to be reached at the execution of the return sequence at a manual
cutting feedrate.
Eeoemm1o5015
Eeoemm1o5016
• When the axes reach the return point in the sequence restart operation, the operation stops at
that point independent of the on/off state of the single block function.
To restart the operation, press the [CYCLE START] button.
(1) Execute by inputting sequence name “N100”.
The NC prepares for the restoration of the last state after the execution of N100.
Fig.5-8 Sequence Return Search
EIOEMM1O5014r01
(2) Press the [SEQUENCE RESTART] key. The auxiliary commands such as S, T and M are out-
put to the PLC and after the confirmation of the answer signals for these commands, the axes
move to the target point in the restart sequence at a manual cutting feedrate.
(3) The axes stop at the return point independent of the on/off state of the single block function.
To restart the operation, press the [CYCLE START] button.
7.Sequence Stop (Option)
4290-E P-74
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The sequence stop function allows the operation to be stopped at a specified sequence. It is possible to specify the desired sequence during automatic operation. Note that the sequence specified
for this operation must be the one having been not executed.
The operation stops in the same manner as in the single block stop.
After the stop, pressing the [CYCLE START] button can restart the operation.
The sequence stop operation procedure is indicated below.
Procedure :
1 Select [F1] (MAIN PRG_OPER) from the function menu.
2 Select [F3] (NUMBER STOP) from the pop-up function menu.
The NUMBER STOP pop-up window is displayed.

EIOEMM1O5017r01
In the state a sequence name has been set for sequence stop, it is possible to specify a new
sequence name to change the present setting. Selection of [F7] (ENTRY CANCEL) cancels
the specified sequence stop.
[Supplement]
1) Setting of a sequence stop is cleared when the NC is reset.
2) Sequence names are treated as character string and comparison of numbers is not executed.
3) An error occurs if sequence stop is set during schedule operation.
4) Setting of sequence stop is possible both before and during the execution of a main program as long as the main program is selected correctly.
5) If a sequence name of the sequence already executed is set as the sequence name for
sequence stop, the set sequence name is disregarded.
8.Single Block
4290-E P-76
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
When the [SINGLE BLOCK] key on the machine operation panel is turned on, the single block function is turned on and the program stops after executing one block.
The single block function has two modes as indicated below.
Eeoemm1o5018
Execute single block
In this mode, the program stops at the block that contains a command calling for axis movement,
miscellaneous function operation, coordinate system setting, etc.
The program does not stop at a block that contains a control statement (CALL, IF, GOTO, etc.),
macro call, return, or NOEX statement.
Read single block
In this mode, the program stops at all blocks.
[Supplement]
1) The “execute single block” mode is usually selected. To check the program including control
statements, select the “read single block” mode.
2) The “read single block” mode is selected by the setting at STOP IN THE PARTICULAR CONTROL SINGLE BLOCK of NC optional parameter (OPERATING RELATION PARAMETER).
3) In the “execute single block” mode, whether or not the single block function is turned on is
determined according to the status of the [SINGLE BLOCK] key after the execution of a block.
In the “read single block” mode, whether or not the single block function is turned on is determined according to the status of the [SINGLE BLOCK] key at the time a block of commands is
read.
4) If the single block function is turned on during automatic operation, the program stops after the
execution of the block being executed when the function is turned on. If blocks of commands
having been read into the buffer area, these blocks are executed one by one each time the
[CYCLE START] button is pressed. When the buffer area is emptied, a new block is read and
executed when the [CYCLE START] button is pressed.
5) The “read single block” mode can be used to stop a schedule program at a control statement,
IF, GOTO, VSET etc.
6) During the execution of a program called using the CALL command in the MDI mode, the on/off
setting of the single block function is valid.
7) How the single block function is executed during the execution of a fixed cycle is described in
SECTION 8, FIXED CYCLES in PROGRAMMING MANUAL.
8) If area machining is executed with the single block function turned on, operation stops at each
movement.
9.Optional Block Skip
4290-E P-77
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
When the [BLOCK SKIP] switch on the machine operation panel is turned on, the block skip function
is turned on and the blocks preceded by a slash code (/) are skipped.
For details, refer to SECTION 1, PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS, 6 “Optional Block Skip” in PROGRAMMING MANUAL.
10.Program Branch
When the [PROGRAM BRANCH] key on the machine operation panel is turned on, the program
branch function is turned on and the program branch commands specified in a program are executed.
Two [PROGRAM BRANCH] keys are provided so that two program
branch commands can be used.
For details, refer to SECTION 1, PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS, 7
“Program Branch Function” in PROGRAMMING MANUAL.
11.Optional Stop
When the [OPTIONAL STOP] key on the machine operation panel is turned on, the optional stop
function is turned on and the execution of a program is suspended when a block containing M01 is
executed.
For restarting the suspended program, press the [CYCLE START] button. The program stop state is
canceled and the program is restarted.
If the [OPTIONAL STOP] key is off, M01 is disregarded and the program is continuously executed
even if M01 block is executed.

SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
[Supplement]
1) If a [MIRROR IMAGE] key is turned on during automatic operation, the mirror image function
becomes valid from the block newly read. If several blocks have already been read into the
buffer area when the key is turned on, these blocks are executed as programmed.
2) While the program is executed with the single block function on, switching the mirror image
state on and off after the execution of a block causes the new mirror image function state to
apply to the next block and on.
Example:
While the program is executed with the single

13.Override
4290-E P-84
SECTION 5 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The override function changes feedrates and spindle speeds within a certain range during machine
operation.
13-1. Feedrate Override
The feedrate override function changes axis feedrates during machining operation.
The feedrate override function provides the following two types of override capability.
• Rapid traverse override
• Cutting feed override
13-1-1. Rapid Traverse Override
This function is valid for manual rapid traverse operation and rapid
traverse of an axis specified in a program (G00, G60, etc.).
Actual rapid traverse rate will be “rapid traverse rate” x “override value”.
If you select “100%”, the axes traverse at the rapid traverse rate determined by the machine specification.
13-1-2. Cutting Feed Override
This function is valid for cutting feed of an axis specified in a program
(G01, G02, G03, etc.).
Actual cutting feedrate will be “F value” x “override value”.
[Supplement]
1) The override setting is disregarded during tapping cycle (G74, G84) and synchronized tapping
operation (G274, G284).
2) After the execution of M136 (cutting feed override invalid), axis feed commands are executed at
the feed override setting of 100% until this mode is canceled by M137.
3) Axes do not move if the override is 0%.
