In the linear acceleration/deceleration, the delay for the command caused

by the acceleration/ deceleration becomes 1/2 compared with that in

required for acceleration and deceleration.
Also, the radius direction error in the circular interpolation caused by the
acceleration/deceleration is substantially reduced.

Consequently, in case of the linear acceleration/deceleration after

4.7 Whether to perform in-position check between cutting feed blocks during
automatic operation is specified by an input signal.
ERROR DETECTION While the transition from a block to block is made during cutting feed
operation, some rounding is generally produced on the workpiece. This
is due to delay in acceleration/deceleration or the servo. If the in-position
check is performed, the next block is not executed until no delay is
observed in acceleration/deceleration and the servo. This can eliminate
the rounding.
Error detection signal off
Error detection signal on

(The in-position check is per-
formed at the end of a block.)
Notes
1 Before and after a block for positioning, the in-position
check is always performed regardless of the error detection
signal state.
2 The in-position check may involve checking for the delay in
acceleration/deceleration only. The check may also involve
checking whether the delay (error) in the servo is within an
allowable range. A parameter is used to specify whether to
select only the former check item or both the former and
latter check items.
3 Generally, the error detection signal should be turned on
and off using an appropriate function so as to specify in the
program whether the in-position check is to be performed.

4.8 Move command in blocks commanded with G09 decelerates at the end
point, and in–position check is performed. G09 command is not
EXACT STOP (G09) necessary for deceleration at the end point for positioning (G00) and
in–position check is also done automatically. This function is used when
sharp edges are required for workpiece corners in cutting feed.
Exact stop off
Exact stop on (The in-position

check is performed at the end of
a block.)
4.9 When G61 is commanded, deceleration of cutting feed command at the

end point and in–position check is performed per block thereafter. This
EXACT STOP MODE G61 is valid till G64 (cutting mode) or G62 (automatic corner override)
(G61) is commanded.
4.10 When G64 is commanded, deceleration at the end point of each block
thereafter is not performed and cutting goes on to the next block. This
CUTTING MODE (G64) command is valid till G61 (exact stop mode) or G62 (automatic corner
override) is commanded.
4.11 When G62 is commanded during cutter compensation, cutting feed rate
is automatically overridden at corner. The cutting quantity per unit time
AUTOMATIC CORNER of the corner is thus controlled not to increase. This G62 is valid till G61
OVERRIDE (G62) (exact stop mode) or G64 (cutting mode) is commanded.

POSITION RETURN
5.1.1 Positioning to the reference position can be done by manual operation.

Manual Reference With jogging mode (J), manual reference position return (ZRN) signals,
and signal for selecting manual reference position return axis (±J1 to ±J8)
Position Return on, the tool the machine is turned on, it decelerates, and when it is turned
off again, it stops at the first grid point, and reference position return end
signal is output. This point is the reference position.
By performing manual reference position return, the machine coordinate
system and the work coordinate system is established.
There is only one method available to perform manual reference point
return:
In the grid method, a certain grid of the position detection is appointed as
the reference position. The reference position position can be shifted by
the grid shift function.
5.1.2 This function moves the machine to around the reference position set for
Setting the Reference each axis in the manual continuous feed mode. Then it sets the reference
position for the machine in the reference position return mode without the
Position without Dogs deceleration signal for reference position return. With this function, the
machine reference position can be set at a given position without the
deceleration signal for reference position return.
Explanations
Setting the reference 1 Place the machine in the manual continuous feed mode, and perform
position positioning to a position near but not exceeding the reference position
from the position indicated by parameter No. 1006#ZMIx.
2 Enter the reference position return mode, then input the feed axis
direction select signal (+) or (–) for the axis.
3 Positioning is made at the grid point located nearest to the current
point. This point is recorded as the reference position. If the
absolute-position detector is provided, the set reference position is
retained after the power is turned off. In this case, when the power is
turned on again, there is no need for setting the reference position
again.
Reference position 1 After the reference position is set, when the feed axis select signal (+)
return or (–) is input for the axis in the reference position return mode,
reference position return operation is performed in rapid traverse
regardless of which signal (+) or (–) is input.

6 COORDINATE SYSTEMS
By teaching the CNC the position the tool is to arrive, the CNC moves
the tool to that position. The position is specified using coordinates on a
certain coordinate system.
There are three types of coordinate systems.
Machine coordinate system
Workpiece coordinate system
Local coordinate system
As necessary, one of the above coordinate systems is used for specifying
coordinates for the target position of the tool.

6. COORDINATE SYSTEMS NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
6.1 Machine coordinate system is a coordinate system set with a zero point
proper to the machine system.
MACHINE A coordinate system in which the reference point becomes the
COORDINATE parameter-preset coordinate value when manual reference point return is
SYSTEM (G53) performed, is set. With G53 command, the machine coordinate system
is selected and the axis is moved in rapid traverse to the position
expressed by the machine coordinates.

6.2 A coordinate system in which the zero point is set to a fixed point on the
workpiece, to make programming simple.
WORKPIECE A workpiece coordinate system may be set by using one of the following
COORDINATE methods:
SYSTEM
(1) Using G92
(2) Using G54 to G59
When method (1) is used, a workpiece coordinate system is established

by programming a numeric value following G92.
When method (2) is used, six workpiece coordinate systems must be set
on the CRT/MDI panel in advance. A programmed command G54 to G59
is then used to select one of the six workpiece coordinate systems.

G92 X1270.0 Y1016.0 ;
When a new workpiece coordinate system is created by specifying G92,

it is determined so that a given point on the tool has a given coordinate
value. So, there is no need to be concerned with old workpiece coordinate
systems. Particularly when the start point for machining is determined
based on the workpiece, the G92 command is useful. In this case, a desired
coordinate system can newly be created even if an old workpiece
coordinate system is invalid.

position at the reference position becomes a desired position which is set

There are two setting methods.
Using the CRT/MDI
Using a program (See Section 6.4.)
Workpiece coordinate systems 1 to 6 are established properly when return
to the reference position is performed after power is turned on.
Immediately after power is turned on, G54 is selected.
Shift of workpiece The six workpiece coordinate systems can be shifted by a specified
coordinate systems amount (external offset from the workpiece zero point).

6.3 With G52 commanded, the local coordinate system with the commanded
position as zero point can be set. Once the local coordinate system is set,
LOCAL COORDINATE values specified in subsequent move commands are regarded as
SYSTEM SYSTEM coordinate values on that coordinate system. Coordinates once set is
(G52) valid till a new G52 is commanded. This is used when, for example,
programming of a part of the workpiece becomes easier if there is a zero
point besides the workpiece coordinates’ zero point.

G17 Xp–Yp plane

X axis or an Y axis or an Z axis or an
G18 Zp–Xp plane axis parallel axis parallel axis parallel
to the X axis to the Y axis to the Z axis
G19 Yp–Zp plane
Explanations One of the existing parallel axes is determined by an axis address that
appears in the block for which G17, G18, or G19 is specified.
Example 1 When X and U, Y and V, and Z and W are parallel to each other,
respectively
G17 X_ Y_ . . . . XY plane
G17 U_ Y_ . . . . UY plane
G18 X_ W_ . . . . WX plane
G18 U_ W_ . . . . WU plane
Planes remain unchanged in blocks for which G17, G18, or G19 is not
specified.
Example 2 G18 X_ Z_ . . . . ZX plane

X_ Y_ . . . . . Plane not changed (ZX plane)
If G17, G18, or G19 is specified for a block, and no axis address is

specified in that block, the axis addresses for the basic three axes are
assumed to be omitted.
Example 3 G17 . . . . . . . . . . . XY plane

G17 X_ . . . . . . . . . XY plane
G17 U_ . . . . . . . . . UY plane
Notes
A parameter is used to specify which axis, X, Y, or Z the
additional axis is parallel to. The move command functions
regardless of the plane selection.
For example, suppose that the following is specified:
G17 Z_ ;
Axis Z does not exist on the XpYp plane. The XY plane is
just selected, and the Z axis is moved regardless of the
plane.

7.4 A linear axis refers to an axis moving linearly, and for it values are
specified in mm or inches.
LINEAR AXIS AND A rotation axis refers to a rotating axis, and for it values are specified in
ROTATION AXIS degrees.
For rotation axes, note the following:
Inch-metric switching is not performed.

The machine coordinate system is always normalized to the range
from 0° to 360°.
7.5 The rotation axis roll-over function rounds the absolute coordinate value
and relative coordinate value of a rotation axis to a coordinate value
ROTATION AXIS within one rotation. This prevents coordinate values to overflow.
ROLL-OVER In an incremental command, the specified value is regarded as the amount
FUNCTION of travel.
In an absolute command, the specified value is rounded to within one
rotation. The resulting coordinate value is used as the end point. A
parameter is used to specify whether to determine the move direction by
the sign of the specified value or by the move distance (the shortest move
distance to the end point is selected).

8.1 In blocks which perform positioning (G00) along the X- or Y-axis in rapid
traverse mode, a press start signal is sent to the press after positioning is
ONE-CYCLE PRESS completed, thus enabling punching. Note however that no press start
signal is output in the following cases:
(1) When MDI mode has been selected
(2) When a M-code has been issued
(3) In a block between an M-code to clamp the workpiece and an M-code
to unclamp the workpiece
Notes
Before positioning is completed, a press start signal may be
output depending on parameter settings.

Nibbling Mode (M12) and an M-code for nibbling cancel (M13). These M-codes are
specified by parameters.
(M-code) Linear nibbling can be done by commanding G01 in the nibbling mode,
while circular nibbling can be done by commanding G02 and G03 in the

The tool diameter cannot be offset by G01, G02, G03 commands.
Accordingly, these commands are used together with cutter compensation

8-digit numeral after address T. The 8-bit numeral is output in a 32-bit
T CODE OUTPUT binary code. This code is kept till the next T code is commanded.
Maximum input digits are set by parameters.
Notes
1 A program must contain this T-code in a block in which press
is specified for the first time or any preceding block. If a
T-code is not issued, a press start signal will not be output,
and therefore the program will not advance to the next
block.
2 The T-code must be issued in positioning mode (G00).
10.2 The CNC can control the turret axis (T-axis) for tool indexing as specified
by a parameter. This function selects a tool by issuing a T-code and
T-AXIS CONTROL positioning the turret at a tool position specified on the tool registration
menu, where up to 136 tools can be registered. The T-code for T-axis
control consists of one to four digits.
Use of this function can reduce the tool replacement time largely, because
it supersedes tool replacement on the machine side by using T-axis
positioning.
10.3 T-codes can be ignored. An external signal is used to determine whether

to ignore the T-code. Once it is specified to ignore T-codes, the program
IGNORING T-CODE operates exactly as if it contained no T-code. This function can be used,
for example, to check the program by marking on a workpiece with a
marking tool.

10.4 In general, the tool holder of a punch holds one tool (die). To select a tool
the tool holder is first moved to the position at which the tool is changed

CONTROL holder is set on the punch holder.
In the case of the multiple-tool system, only the dies in the tool holder are
changed because the tool holder keeps different types of dies (See Fig.
10.4). The multiple-tool system enables the tool holder to change dies
very quickly. Also, many dies can be used to widen the range of
machining applications.

HIGH-SPEED M/S/T/B high-speed execution of M/S/T/B function.
INTERFACE The time required for cutting can be minimized by speeding up the
execution time of M/S/T/B function.
The following describes an example of auxiliary function M code
command. The same applies to the T, S, and B (second auxiliary function)
functions.
If there is an M command, the NC side inverses the logic level of strobe
signal MF. Namely, LOW signal is converted to HIGH signal, while
HIGH signal is converted to LOW signal. After the NC side inverses the
signal MF, it is considered that the operation of PMC side has been
completed if the logic level of completion signal FIN from the PMC is
the same as that of the signal MF.
In the conventional system, if the leading edge (from LOW to HIGH) of
the completion signal FIN of M/S/T/B is received and then the trailing
edge (from HIGH to LOW) of the signal FIN is received, it is considered
that the operation has been completed. However, in this system, the
operation is considered to have been completed by a single change of

14. TOOL COMPENSATION FUNCTION NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
14.1 Tool position compensation along the X- and Y-axes can be effected for
tools specified by a code consisting of character T and one to four digits
TOOL OFFSET that follow it. The amount of compensation is specified in the least
COMPENSATION command increment defined on the tool registration menu during
(T SEIRES) installation. (Up to 136 tools, values: Positive number consisting of eight
digits)
Notes
If an inch/metric switch-over option is specified, and the
measurement unit used in the machine is different from that
used in the input system, a maximum possible error is the
sum of half the least input increment and half the least
command increment. This error will not be accumulated.
14.2 This function can be used for die-indexable tools. It simplifies

mechanical adjustment like reference position adjustment performed
C-AXIS POSITION during tool mounting by effecting automatic C-axis compensation for
COMPENSATION tool indexing. The amount of compensation and the tool number for the
die-indexable tool are specified by parameters. (Up to 20 tools with tool
numbers of 1 to 9999)
94
14.3 With this function, the programmed tool path can be offset when actually
machining, for value of the tool radius set in the NC.
CUTTER By measuring cutting radius for actual cutting, and setting the value in the
COMPENSATION C NC as offset value, the tool can machine the programmed pattern, via the
(G40 - G42) offset path. There is no need to change the program even when tool radius
changes; just change the offset value.
Programmed path
Tool center path
Cross point
Cross points of line and line, arc and arc, line and arc is automatically
calculated in the NC to obtain offset actual tool path. So, programming
becomes simple, because it is only necessary to program the machining
pattern.
Cutter compensation and G40 : Cutter radius compensation cancel
its cancellation G41 : Cutter radius compensation left
(G40, G41, G42) G42 : Cutter radius compensation right
G41 and G42 are commands for cutter radius compensation mode. The
cutter is offset to the left forward in the cutter movement in G42 and right
forward in G42. Cutter radius compensation is cancelled with G40.
Assignment of offset The offset amount can be set in the cutter radius compensation memory.
amount (D code) When the D code is commanded as an offset number, corresponding offset
amount in the tool compensation memory is applied as the offset amount
for cutter radius compensation.
Interference check Tool overcutting is called ’interference’. This function checks whether
interference occurs, if cutter radius compensation is performed.

18. CUSTOM MACRO NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
18.1 A function covering a group of instructions is stored in the memory like

the sub program. The stored function is represented by one instruction
CUSTOM MACRO and is executed by simply writing the represented instruction. The group
of instructions registered is called the custom macro body, and the
representative instruction, the custom macro instruction.
Ordinary program

The programmer need not remember all the instructions in the custom
macro body. He needs only to remember the representative, custom
macro instruction.
The greatest feature in custom macro is that variables can be used in the
custom macro body. Operation between the variables can be done, and
actual values can be set in the variables by custom macro instructions.

With this function, the NC can be graded up by the user himself. Custom
macro bodies may be offered to the users by the machine tool builder, but
the users still can make custom macro himself.
The following functions can be used for programming the custom macro
body.
Explanations
Use of Variable Variables: #1 (i=1, 2, 3,.......)

Quotation of variables: F#33 (#33: speed expressed by variables)
Operation between Various operation can be done between variables and constants.
variables The following operands, and functions can be used:
+ (sum), – (difference), * (product), / (quotient), OR (logical sum), XOR
(exclusive logical sum), AND (logical product), SIN (sine), COS
(cosine), TAN (tangent), ATAN (arc tangent), SQRT (square roots), ABS
(absolute value), BIN (conversion from BCD to binary), BCD
(conversion from binary to BCD), FIX (truncation below decimal point),
FUP (raise fractions below decimal point), ROUND (round)
Example : #5 = SIN [[#2 + #4] * 3.14 + #4] * ABS (#10)
Control command Program flow in the custom macro body is controlled by the following
command.
If [<conditional expression>]GOTO n (n = sequence number)
When <conditional expression> is satisfied, the next execution is done
from block with sequence number n.
When <conditional expression> is not satisfied, the next block is
executed.
When the [<IF conditional expression>] is committed, it executes
from block with n unconditionally.
The following <conditional expressions> are available:
#j EQ #k whether #j = #k
#j NE #k whether #j = #k
#j GT #k whether #j > #k
#j LT #k whether #j < #k
#j GE #k whether #j y #k
#j LE #k whether #j x #k
111
WHILE (<conditional expression>) DO m (m = 1, 2, 3)

:
END m
While <conditional expression> is satisfied, blocks from DO m to
END m is repeated.
When <conditional expression> is no more satisfied, it is executed
from the block next to
END m block.

Macro call by G codes

The macro can also be called by the parameter-set G codes. Instead
of commanding:
N_ G65 P <argument assignment> ;
macro can be called just by commanding:
N_ G** <argument assignment> ;.
G code for calling the macro, and macro program number **** to be
called, are coupled together and set as parameter.
Maximum ten G codes from G01 to G255 can be used for macro call
(G00 cannot be used).
The G code macro call cannot be used in the macro which was called
by a G code. It also cannot be used in sub programs called by sub
program call with M codes or T codes.
Custom macro call by M code
Custom macros can be called by pre-determined M codes which are
set by parameters.
The following command
N_ G65 P <Argument assignment> ;
is equivalent to the following command:
N_ Mxx <Argument assignment> ;
The correspondence between M codes (Mxx) and program number
(delta delta delta delta) of a macro shall be set by a parameter.
Signal MF and M code are not sent out the same as the subprogram call
by M code.
Also when this M code is specified in a program called a macro calling
G code or a subprogram calling M or T code, the M code is regarded
as a normal M code.
Up to ten M codes can be used for custom macro calling M codes.
Sub program call by M code
An M code can be set by parameter to call a sub program. Instead of
commanding:
N_ G_ X_ Y_ … M98 P ; ,
the same operation can be performed simply by commanding:
N_ G_ X_ Y_ … MXX ;.
As for M98, M codes are not transmitted.
The M code XX for calling the sub program and the sub program
number delta delta delta delta to be called are coupled together and set
by parameter.
Maximum three M codes from M03 to M255 can be used for macro
call (M30 cannot be used).
Arguments cannot be transmitted. It also cannot be commanded in the
same block as the block with M98 command.
When these M codes are commanded in macro called by G code or in
subprogram called by M code or T code, they are regarded as ordinary
M codes.
113
- Sub program call by T code

By setting parameter, sub program can be called by T codes. When
commanded:
N_ G_ X_ Y_ … Tt ; ,
the same operation is done as when commanded:
#149 = t;
N_ G_ X_ Y_ … M98 P9000; .
The T type code t is stored as arguments of common variable #149.
This command cannot be done in the same block with a sub program
calling M code, or with M98 command. The T code is not output.
When T code is commanded in macros called by G code, or in sub
programs called by M codes or T codes, the T code is treated as
ordinary T codes.
D Types of variables Variables are divided into local variables, common variables, and system
variables, according to their variable numbers. Each type has different use
and nature.
- Local variables #1 – #33
Local variables are variables used locally in the macro. Accordingly,
in case of multiples calls (calling macro B from macro A), the local
variable used in macro A is never destroyed by being used in macro
B.
- Common variables #100 – #149, #500 – #531
Compared with local variables used locally in a macro, common
variables are common throughout the main program, each sub
program called from the main program, and each macro. The common
variable #1 used in a certain macro is the same as the common variable
#i used in other macros. Therefore, a common variable #1 calculated
in a macro can be used in any other macros.
Common variables #100 to #149 are cleared when power is turned off,
but common variables #500 to #531 are not cleared after power is
turned off.
Notes
The range of common variables can be enlarged to #100 to
#199, and #500 to #999 by the option. See Section 18.2.
- System variables
A variable with a certain variable number has a certain value. If the
variable number is changed, the certain value is also changed.
The certain value are the following:
Z 16 points DI (for read only)
Z 48 points DO (for output only)
Z Tool offset amount, work zero point offset amount
Z Position information (actual position, skip position, block end
position, etc.)
Z Modal information (F code, G code for each group, etc.)
Z Alarm message (Set alarm number and alarm message, and the NC
is set in an alarm status. The alarm number and message is
displayed on the CRT.)
114
Z A date (year, month, day) and time (hour, minute, second) are
indicated.
Z Clock (Time can be known. A time can also be preset.)
Z Single block stop, Miscellaneous function end wait hold
Z Feed hold, Feed rate override, Exact stop inhibition
ZThe number of machining parts is indicated. It can be preset.
D External output Value of variables or characters can be output to external devices via the
commands reader/puncher interface with custom macro command. Results in
measurement is output using custom macro.

18.4 There are two types of NC programs; those which, once created, are
scarcely changed, and those which are changed for each machining type.
MACRO EXECUTER The former are programs created by the custom macro, and the latter are
FUNCTION machining programs. If programs of these types are executed
simultaneously, a battery may run out or the custom macro may be
destroyed by error operation.
Such problems can be solved by this function. The custom macro created
by a machine tool builder is converted to an execute-form program, be
cataloged in the ROM module, and be executed.
Features
Since the program is cataloged after converted to an execute-form
program, the execution speed is high. The machining time is then
reduced, and the precision is improved.
Since the program is cataloged in ROM, there is no problem of battery
extinction or custom macro destruction by error operation. The
reliability is improved.
Since the cataloged program is not displayed on a program screen, the
know-how of the machine tool builder is protected.
Since the custom macro is cataloged in ROM, the program edit
memory can be used efficiently.
The user can call the macro easily without knowing the cataloged
program. A custom macro can be created and executed in the program
edit memory as usual.
Before the program is cataloged in ROM, the operation can be checked
by using the RAM module.
An original screen can be created by using the graphic display or
selecting screens by the soft key. The machine tool builder can extend
the control function by using such functions as machining program
creation and edit control, reader/punch interface control, and PMC
data read/write functions.
Notes
When the macro executor is attached, the order-made
macro cannot be specified.
117
18.5 FANUC Series 16 provides many features, such as custom macros, macro
executors/compilers, and MMCs for adding the machine tool builder’s
C LANGUAGE unique functions to CNC software. In particular, the conversational
EXECUTER macro function of macro executors/compilers has been used by many
FUNCTION machine tool builders to customize CNC screens and include their own
unique conversational operations in CNCs. As with the conversational
macro function, the C language executor function is used to customize
screens and include unique operations. Application programs for display
and operation can be created in standard C language, in the same way as
programs are made for normal personal computers. A program compiled
on a personal computer is transferred and stored in flash ROM in the CNC
via a memory card. The program is read into memory upon activation of
the CNC, and executed by the C language executor.
Features
Low–cost customization No special additional hardware is needed to run the C language executor
and application programs on FANUC Series 16–PB(*1). CRT/MDI units
from the 14–inch CRT/full–keyboard to the 9–inch CRT/small keyboard
can be used. User applications can be included in the current 16–PB
system.
Notes
The flash ROM/DRAM capacity may have to be increased.
Application development Application programs can be developed using an ordinary personal

on a personal computer computer. Program development, from program creation and editing to
compilation/linkage, can also be performed on a personal computer. And,
to a certain extent, debugging is also possible on the personal computer.
High compatibility with C Microsoft Corporation’s C compiler (MS–C) is employed as the C

language application language compiler. It is the de–facto standard C compiler for personal
programs for personal computers. The function library provided by the C language executor has
computers excellent compatibility with the ANSI standards and MS–C. Therefore,
application programs for ordinary personal computers can be transported
to the CNC, except when they are dependent on particular hardware.
Integration of CNC An application program created by the machine tool builder is executed
software and as one task of the CNC software. The application program can display
applications its own screens in place of existing CNC screens. In addition, the
application program can read and write CNC system data via libraries
provided by the C language executor. This enables operation of the
application program to be integrated with CNC software.
Using the C language The C language executor can be used with the 16–PB macro executor. Not
executor with the macro only executable macros, but also conversational macros can be used
executor together. The screen display portion of a macro program already created
by the machine tool builder can be replaced with a program coded in C.
This can prevent existing software resources from becoming useless.

19.2 The machine is accelerated/decelerated automatically when the

movement is started/stopped, so that the machine system should not be
FEEDRATE CLAMP applied with any shock. When programming, therefore, no consideration
BY CIRCULAR needs to be made for acceleration/deceleration.
RADIUS Especially when performing the high-speed arc cutting, however, the
actual tool passage may bring about some error against the designated arc
during circular interpolation due to this automatic acceleration/
deceleration.
This error can approximately be given by the following formula;
Y ∆r

. . . . . . . (1)

∆r : Maximum value of radius error (mm)

v : Feedrate (mm/sec)
r : Circular radius (mm)
T1 : Acceleration/deceleration time constant (sec)
T2 : Time constant of servo motor (sec)
When performing the actual machining, the actual arc machining radius
(r) and tolerance (delta r) are given, therefore, the maximum permissible
speed v (mm/min.) can be given by the formula-(1).
”Feedrate clamp by circular radius” is such function that the circular
cutting feed is automatically clamped when the feedrate designated may
exceed the permissible tolerance to radial direction against the circular arc
having optional radius designated by the program.
121
19.3 This function is designed for high–speed precise machining. With this
function, the delay due to acceleration/deceleration and the delay in the
LOOK–AHEAD servo system which increase as the feedrate becomes higher can be
CONTROL (G08) suppressed.
The tool can then follow specified values accurately and errors in the
machining profile can be reduced.
This function becomes effective when look–ahead control mode is
entered.

125
20. AXES CONTROL NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
20.1 Normally, the machine is controlled to move to a commanded position.

However, when the follow up function is applied, actual position in the
FOLLOW UP CNC is revised according to the move of the machine.
FUNCTION Follow up function is activated when:
- Emergency stop is on
Because machine movement during the emergency stop is reported, the
actual position of the machine is reflected in the CNC. Therefore,
machining can be resumed after the emergency stop has been deactivated,
without performing the reference point return again.
However, when a trouble has generated in the position detection system,
the system cannot follow up correctly. So present position in CNC does
not become correct value.
By input signal (follow up signal) from PMC follow up function can also
be applied to:
- Servo off
status. It is also valid in cases when the machine is moved with a
mechanical handle.
20.2 It is possible to move the machine by hand, using the mechanical handle
installed on the machine; not by the NC (servo motor).
MECHANICAL Move distance by the mechanical handle is followed up and actual
HANDLE FEED position in The NC is revised. The mechanical handle feed is done by
inputting the servo off signal of the axis fed. It is necessary, however, to
specify following up of the movement in the servo off status with the
follow up signal.
20.3 Servo on/off control per axis is possible by input signals from PMC. This
function is generally used with the machine clamp.
SERVO OFF
20.4 The MDI-commanded or the program-commanded move direction of

each axis can be reversed and executed.
MIRROR IMAGE Mirror image is set by CRT/MDI setting or by input signals from PMC.
Mirror image can be applied to each axis.
20.5 It is possible to detach or attach rotary tables and attachments with this
function. Switch control axis detach signal according to whether the
CONTROL AXIS rotary tables and attachments are attached or detached. When this signal
DETACH is on, the corresponding axis is excluded from the control axes, so the
servo alarm applied to the axis are ignored. The axis is automatically
regarded as being interlocked. This signal is not only accepted when
power turned is on, so automatic change of attachments is possible any
time with this function.
The same switching as with this signal can also be performed with the
MDI setting.
126
20.6 The traveling command of master axis is given to two motors of master
and slave axes in a simple synchronous control. However, no
SIMPLE synchronous error compensation or synchronous error alarm is detected
SYNCHRONOUS for constantly detecting the position deviation of the master and slave
CONTROL axes to compensate the deviation.
Simple synchronous operation is allowed in the automatic operation and
in the manual operation such as manual continuous feed, manual handle
feed, incremental feed, or manual reference point return.
In the manual reference point return, the master and slave axes similarly
move until the deceleration operation is performed. After that, the
detection of grid is performed independently.
The pitch error and backlash compensation are independently performed
for the master and slave axes.
An input signal from PMC can be select whether the slave axis traveling

The angle position of the die (Tool) can be altered by the command from
tape, memory, and MDI.
In the past, a plurality of dies were required when the location was
different, even when the die shape was the same, but one die is sufficient
by optionally changing the die angle position, and 4 corners of a work can
be chamfered with a single die, thus reducing the die change time. In the
bolt hole circle, arc pattern function, and circular nibbling, the C-axis is
controlled automatically so that one side of a die always faces the center
of the circle at each hole position.

20.9 Any axis can be released from the control of CNC and directly controlled
from PMC. That is, input of commands such as moving distance and feed
AXIS CONTROL WITH rate commands from PMC allows the axis to move independently of other
PMC axes moving under control of CNC. Therefore, use of an axis of CNC
enables control of peripheral devices such as a turret, pallet, and index
table. Which of CNC and PMC controls each axis can be selected by the
input signal.
The following operations can be directly controlled from PMC:
Rapid traverse with the specified moving distance.
Cutting feed with the specified moving distance.
The feed rate and override can also be specified.
The cutting feed can be started simultaneously with another PMC

29.1 With the emergency stop, all commands stops, and the machine stops
immediately. Connect the ”emergency stop” signal both to the control
EMERGENCY STOP unit and to the servo unit side.
When emergency stop is commanded, servo excitation is also reset, and
servo ready signal will also turn off. Move distance of the machine will
still be reflected in the actual position and machine position will not be
lost (Follow up function). After resetting the emergency stop, operation
can thus be continued without need of another reference point return.

parameters for stroke limit 1. The machine coordinates are stored in the
Stroke Limit CNC as the limit positions. Then input signals for setting the stroke limit.
Stroke limit setting signals are provided for each axis and each direction.
Checking of the stroke limit can also be selected by turning on or off the
limit release signal common to all axes.
186
29.3
INTERLOCK
29.3.1 Axis feed specified to each axis can be stopped separately. If interlock is
Interlock per Axis specified to any of the moving axis during cutting feed, all axes of the
machine movement will decelerate to a stop. When interlock signal is
reset, the moving starts.
29.3.2 Feed of all axes can be inhibited. When all axes interlock is commanded
All Axes Interlock during move, it decelerates and stops. When all axes interlock signal is
reset, the moving restarts.
29.3.3 Feeding of a specific axis in a specific direction can be inhibited

Interlock for Each Axis independently of other axes. If the interlock signal is input to any of the
axes during a cutting feed operation, all axes decelerate and come to a
Direction stop. When the interlock signal is released, the axes start moving again.
29.3.4 The main power turns off if door of the NC cabinet is opened.
Door Interlock
187
29.4 Feed rate can be decelerated by an external deceleration signal from the
machine side. A feed rate after deceleration can be set by parameter.
EXTERNAL External deceleration is prepared every axis and every direction.
DECELERATION When the tool is to be moved in the reverse direction, futile time may not
be wasted since no external deceleration is applied.
By setting the corresponding parameter, whether to make this signal
effective only for rapid traverse mode or for all feed modes can be
specified for each axis and for each direction.
This function allows the maximum of valid strokes and keeps shock to the
machine to a minimum, to stops at stroke end. This function is also useful
when overtravel of the machine from the stroke end in, for example, ATC
reference points, must be kept to a minimum.
29.5 When a cutting tool collides with the machine body or is damaged during
cutting, the load torque applied to the servo motors is larger than during
ABNORMAL LOAD normal feeding or cutting. The abnormal load detection function
DETECTION calculates the load torque and transfers the value from the CNC to the
PMC. If the load torque is larger than the value set in a parameter, the
function stop the motor or reverses the motor rotation to retract the tool
by the distance set in a parameter. In this way, damage to the machine is
prevented.

B–62622EN/02 NC FUCNTION 31. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT
31 EXTERNAL DATA INPUT
The external data input is as follows.

External tool compensation
External program number search
External work coordinate system shift
External machine zero point shift
External alarm message
External operator message
Substitution of the number of machined parts and number of required
parts
195
31. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
31.1 In this function, offset number is specified from outside to change tool
offset amount.
EXTERNAL TOOL The input signal designates whether the input tool offset amount is:
COMPENSATION absolute or incremental
It the machine is equipped with automatic measurement devices of tools

and workpiece, error can be input to the NC with this function.
External tool compensation amount range is:
0 to ±7999
in least command increment.
31.2 A program number from 1 - 9999 can be given from outside to the NC to
call the corresponding program from the NC memory.
EXTERNAL In machines with automatic loading function of various workpiece, this
PROGRAM NUMBER function can be used to automatically select and execute program suitable
SEARCH to the workpiece.
31.3 The work coordinate system can be shifted for the shift amount given
from outside.
EXTERNAL The shift amount specified by an input signal is set as an external offset
WORKPIECE value for workpiece zero points by which the workpiece coordinate
COORDINATE system shifts. The shift amount is an absolute value, not an incremental
value.
SYSTEM SHIFT
The shift amount range is :
0 to ±7999
in least command increment.
The external data input function allows NC operation by data sent from
outside the NC (for example from the machine side).
31.4 The machine coordinate system is compensated by offset amount given

from outside. This offset amount always take absolute value; never an
EXTERNAL MACHINE increment value.
ZERO POINT SHIFT The offset amount range is:
0 to ±9999
in detection unit.
When offset amount is input, the actual machine move distance is the
difference between the previous offset amount and current offset amount.
This function is used t compensate the machine coordinate system error
caused by mechanical deformation.
31.5 By sending alarm number from outside, the NC is brought to an alarm

status; an alarm message is sent to the NC, and the message is displayed
EXTERNAL ALARM on the CRT screen of the NC. Reset of alarm status is also done with
MESSAGE external data.
Up to 4 alarm numbers and messages can be sent at a single time. Alarms
0 to 999 can be sent. To distinguish these alarms from other alarms, the
CNC displays them by adding 1000 to each alarm number. The messages
of up to 32 characters can be sent together with an alarm.
196
B–62622EN/02 NC FUCNTION 31. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT
31.6 Message to the operator is given from outside the NC, and the message
is displayed on the CRT screen.
EXTERNAL The message is sent after the message number (0 to 999). Only one
OPERATOR’S message with message number can be sent at a single time. Maximum
MESSAGE 255 characters can be used for a single message.
The message numbers 0 to 99 are displayed on the CRT screen along with
the message.
To distinguish these alarms from other alarms, the CNC displays them by
adding 2000 to each alarm number. When a message from 100 to 999 is
displayed on the CRT, the message number is not displayed; only its text
is displayed.
An external data will clear the operator messages.
31.7 The number of required parts and the number of machined parts can be
preset externally. Values from 0 to 9999 can be preset.

KEY INPUT CONTROL) NC FUNCTION B–62622EN/02
32 KEY INPUT FROM PMC (EXTERNAL KEY INPUT CONTROL)
When the PMC inputs the code signal corresponding to a key on the
CRT/MDI panel to the CNC, the code signal can be input in the same way
as with actual operation of the key on the CRT/MDI panel.
When the switch is pressed, the PMC inputs code signals corresponding
to keys X, Y, Z, and <SHIFT> to the CNC. This produces the same results
as with actual key operations.
