I 1. GENERAL
1. GENERAL
The M300-V series CNC is an upgraded version of the traditional M300 series
for higher speed and precision operation.
This manual is prepared for the M300-V and M300 series controller user for
development of user PLC (note 1) and creation of message data. PLC operation
performed on the controller is called onboard operation.
The onboard function enables the following:
(1) Creation of new ladder files
(2) Edit of existing ladder circuits (read, write, insertion, and deletion)
(3) Ladder circuit monitor
(4) Putting into ROM (Non-V series onboard operaton only ) (Note 2)
(5) Floppy disk read and write
(6) Preparation of message data such as alarms, operator messages, and PLC
switch messages
(7) ~;~~i;; ladder circuit and message data (V series onboard operation only)
User PLC can also be developed by using MITSUBISHI FA Workstation M-FAS in

addition to the control unit. The relevant documents are listed below:

The CPU card contains the CNC run state select switch. For PLC
development, use this switch to set the user PLC state to RUN or STOP, load the
floppy disk contents to memory without using the onboard floppy disk function
(see section 5 for details), and so on.
The switch position and setting method are shown below:

Note 1: Note sufficiently that if user PLC is placed in the stop state, CNC
enters the emergency stop state at the same time as the user PLC stops.
The user PLC state can also be set to RUN or STOP by the operation
explained in section 3-1-2 “User PLC RUN/STOP by CRT Operation” as well
as the above switch.
Note 2: Data load is complete in about 10 seconds after the system reset switch
is pulled down. Then, again perform reset operation with the system
selection switch set to the normal run or user PLC stop state or turn
off and on the power. CNC and PLC restart running..

Operation is performed depending on how bit selection parameter #49 bits O

Bits O and 1 = O
The values set on the PLC TIMER and PLC COUNTER screens of machine
manufacturer parameters are used as the timer and counter setup
values.
Bits O and 1 = 1
The programmed constant K values are used as the timer and counter
setup values.
At the time, the programmed constant K values of the timers and
counters are also displayed on the PLC TIMER and PLC COUNTER
screens of machine manufacturer parameters.
Thus, even if bits O and 1 are set to 11, the valid setup values
can be checked on the screens in the PLC-RTJNstate.
However, no values can be set. If a value is set, the message
“E05 Setting disabled” is displayed.
When bits O and 1 are set to 00,

TI KIO the constant K values are ignored
and the values set on the screens
become valid. However, since K ❑
C20 K5 cannot be omitted in programming,
any numeric value must be entered
in KCI for programming.

2-5-3 Second Card Onboard Function Handling Method (V Series)
The second card onboard function means that the onboard function of ladder
circuit edit, message data preparation, and printout etc. on the CNC is executed
on the second memory card (the first memory card is used for CNC software). The
V series can perform the onboard operation only with this second card onboard
function.
The software of the second card onboard function is stored on the MC431
card, dedicated to onboard operation, that is shipped separately from the CNC.
Only one type of second card onboard function software is prepared for the
M300-V series. The software system number is BND-247w303.
(1) Second card onboard function startup method
The startup sequence is shown below:

2-5-4 Second Card Onboard Function Handling Method (Not for V Series)
The second card onboard function means that the onboard function of ladder
circuit edit, message data preparation, putting into ROM, etc., on CNC is
executed on the second memory card (memory card on which user PLC is mounted).
(The first memory card is used for CNC software.) Only the second onboard
function can be used at a certain version and later.
The first card onboard function and second card onboard function are
handled in the same manner after system copy explained below. The second card
onboard function startup method is described here.
(1) Application
The second card onboard function is applicable to the following versions.

The CNC versions before the following do not require second card onboard
ROM. The M330L and M330HL operates normally only with second card onboard
ROM version BO or after.
M320L, 320M, 330M, 330HM, 335M: CO and later
M330L, M330HL: AO and later
M31OL, M310M: Not applicable. Refer to the PLC Program

Development System (BNP-B3416-002).
(Reference: Onboard system ROM number
..... BND-213w300)
The second card onboard function software consists of four ROM chips and is
shipped as onboard ROM separately from CNC.
Four types of second card onboard are provided according to combination of

CNC and user PLC ROM card, as listed below:

o5 Step number and pointer (P)
Step numbers are sequentiallyassigned to the programmed circuits.

They change automaticallywhen the circuits are edited.
A pointer (P) is a label which indicates the destination to go when a

conditional jump occurs or when a subroutine call is issued. Some
pointers are used for special purposes as follows:
P128 to P159: These pointers can be used the same way as PO to P127.
In addition, these can be used as the page feed symbols
when the ladder circuit is printed out.
P250 to P255: These pointers are used to delimit the PLC programming
levels.

Operation procedure
(1) Press function ‘enu E) to display the PLC FILE screen.
(2) Press B’o display the setting field.
(3) Set the ladder file name and size required (size expected to be used) and
the link file name. 2K is added to the total size of the ladder file and
message file for the display of the link size required or used. (Link file
size setting is invalid.)
Only the message file name is set after message initial operation is
performed on screen to screen. If the order is reversed, a
mm
“MESSAGE LINK ERROR” may occur or the file name may disappear.
Note: Be careful not to make the link file size exceed the specification
size. Enter a file name in up to 10 characters. If 11 or more

data transfer from the ROM cassette to the RAM cassette. For the
operation of the ROM writer, refer to the ROM Writer System
(RWOIA) Instruction Manual (BNP-A2923).
ICautions on use of the function of putting into ROM I
To write ROM by onboard operation, see (A) and (B) shown below and
sufficiently note the following:
(1) To turn on or off the CNC equipment power or 1OO-VAC power for ROM write,
be sure to set the ST1 switch to READ.
(2) Be sure to set the ST1 switch to WRITE only when write operation is
performed. Be sure to set the ST1 switch to READ during read/erasion
check before write and during read/comparison after write.
(3) The erasion time of written ROM should be one hour or more.
(The erasion time should also be 20 minutes or more when a high-output
cold cathode tube eraser is used.)

The MFD is formatted under the M3 format specifications. (Note 1)
This is applicable only to the user PLC (ladder and message data).
For M31O operation, refer to separate manual “MELDAS 31O PLC Program
Development Sys~em Manual” (BNP-B341~-002).
~ For@series I Fornon-@series
o1 Read
The specified file on the MFD is read to RAM card MC941 or MC942 user
PLC area.
02 Write
The contents of RAM card MC941 or MC942 user PLC area are written to
the specified file on the MFD.
- 119 -
o3 Compare
The contents of the specified file on the MFD are compared with the
contents of RAM card MC941 or MC942 user PLC area. -
04 Delete
The specified file on the MFD is deleted.
05 Initialize
The MFD is initialized in the M3 format.
Note 1: The M3 format is the floppy disk writing format applicable to

the MELDAS 300 Series. There is another floppy disk writing
format REGULUS (Note Z). All floppy disks handled in onboard
operation are M3-formatted.
Note 2: REGULUS is a registered trade mark of Alcyon, U.S.A.

5-1-1 M320 and M330
Install the interface unit according to the following procedure:
(1) Remove the MC712 card from the controller.
(The MC712 card may not be installed on some models for which the card is
optional.)
(2) Remove the interface card from the interface unit case, then insert it into
the position that was occupied by the MC712 card. If an external cable was
connected to the removed MC712 card, connect it to the connector at the
same location on the interface card. (The interface card functions the
same as the MC712 card.) Since the card front panel at the left side of
the MC712 card may interrupt the external cable connection} remove it in
advance.

5-4 Maintenance and Precautions on Use
5-4-1 Maintenance of Floppy Disk Drive
Floppy disk magnetic substances and dust are stuck on the surface of the
floppy disk drive head during long operation. This may cause a read or write
error.
Clean the drive head periodically as follows:
(1) Recommended cleaning disk
Maker: Nippon Memorex
Model: Memorex 3.5-inch double-sided cleaning floppy disk
Type: Dry type
(2) Cleaning procedure
(a) According to the installation method in section 5-1, connect the

floppy disk drive to the controller.
(b) Check that the floppy disk drive is turned off, then insert the
cleaning floppy disk into it.
(c) Set the system selection switch on the CPU card MC1ll or MC116 in the
controller as shown below:
Set to on when cleaning.
Set switch No,7 to on.

(Do not touch the other switches.)
MCI1l card (or MC116 card]
(d) Trn power on to the controller and floppy disk drive, then put the
reset button on the MClll or MC116 card downward. Head cleaning
starts while the LED on the floppy disk drj.velights. It takes about
20 seconds to complete cleaning~--For the detai.1~such as the
locations of the reset button and system selection switch, see section
2-4 “System Selection.”
(e) When the LED on the drive goes off, remove the cleaning disk, turn
both units off, then restore the MC1ll or MC116 card setting.
Note 1: The cleaning disk can be used max. 60 times. Replace the
cleaning disk when it has been used 60 times.

3 Do not place the floppy disks near magnets or
other substances that generate strong
I I
magnetic fields.
94 Do not place heavy substances on the floppy I

disks.
I I
5-4-3 Other Precautions on Use
(1) Backing up floppy disks
To provide for possible accidents such as damage on a floppy disk and

destruction of data, make it a rule to make a backup copy of each floppy
disk.
(2) Floppy disk service life
The floppy disk is guaranteed for about 10,000 repetitions of start-up in a

normal environment. if it is used in a dusty environment, however, dust
and foreign substances stuck to the drive head may prevent normal
operation. To avoid such trouble, clean the drive head periodically.
(3) Observation of use conditions
Both floppy disk drive and floppy disks are sensitive to changes in
temperature and humidity and dirt. Be sure to observe the precautions
stated above and the notes on the label affixed to the drive.
- 136 -
<Cautions label>
E
1. How to load a floppy disk
- Orient the floppy disk properly and insert it into the drive
until the button pops out.
2. How to remove the floppy disk
- Press the button to remove.
3. CAUTION
- Do not remove the floppy disk or switch off the power when
the drive indicator LED (red) is on.
- Use a properly formatted floppy disk.
(4) Floppy disk write protection
The contents of a floppy disk may be destroyed by wrong operation. To

prevent accidental destruction or erasure of important data, slide the tab
on the back of the floppy disk in the direction shown in the figure below.
This inhibits writing data to the disk.
