0 SERIES CONTROLLER

Note: The memory back-up consists of three alkaline R20 "D" cells.

If com port is port 1, M5 is used. If com port is port 2, M74 is used.

To determine if com port is Port 1 or Port 2, trace the RS-232 cable from the serial
port connector back to the CNC master PCB on 0-B controller or memory PCB on 0-
controller and see if it is connected to M5 or M74.

Parameters associated with Port 1 are Param.2, 38, 522

Parameters associated with Port 2 are Param.50, 38, 253

If the Absolute Position display goes to some number other than 0.0000 when a
reference return is made, check Parameter 10.7. If this only occurs on one axis, check
the work coordinates (G54, G55, etc.) for the value that appears in the Absolute
display.

You can set Parameter 397.7 to 1 to tell the controller to display the Spindle
Amplifier alarm number on the CRT.

*** NOTE ***

It is very important that when changing parameters in order to facilitate
communications that only those bits needing to be changed are changed. Never
change a parameter that does not absolutely have to be. Especially where number
0038 is concerned. If parameter 0038 is originally 10000011, for example, you would
change it to 11000011 and nothing else. ALWAYS record a parameter somewhere
before making any change.

For serial communications on Port 1 settings are:

TVON = 0 Parameter 0002 1xxxxxx1
ISO = 1 0038 01xxxxxx
I/O = 0 0050 Not used
PWE= 1 0552 10
TAPEF= 0 0553 Not used

For serial communications on Port 2 settings are:

TVON = 0 Parameter 0002 Not used
ISO = 1 0038 xx01xxxx
I/O = 2 0050 1xxxxxx1
PWE= 1 0552 Not used
TAPEF= 0 0553 10

x - Does not matter how these bits are set.

Fanuc default protocol is 4800, E, 7, 2

TVON tells the controller whether or not to make a TV (Tape Vertical Parity) check
when a program is registered in memory. 1 = Make check 0 = No check When set to
1, the controller will generate Alarm P/S 002 if one block (From one EOB to the next
EOB) contains an odd number of characters. Parameter 18.6 determines whether or
not a TV check is made on program comments.

TAPEF specifies the type of tape format. 1 = F10/F11 format after conversion. 0 = FSO
standard format without conversion.

To receive programs or parameters in ASCII set:

I/O = 0
ISO = 1
Parameter 0002.0 = 1
Another Parameter associated with this is 51 bit3.

I/O can be set for 0, 1, 2 or 3. Changing this number provides Device information to
the controller. This is similar to the Device settings on a Mitsubishi controller. Setting
I/O for 0 tells the controller to set the device according to Parameter 38 bits 6 and 7.
It also tells the control to set the Feed, Interface and Stop Bits according to
Parameter 2 bits 7, 2 and 0 respectively. Lastly, it tells the controller to set the Baud
Rate according to Parameter 552.

I/O set for 1 tells the controller to use Parameter 38 bits 6 and 7, Parameter 12 bits
7, 2 and 0. These correspond to the same bits on Parameter 2. I/O also tells the
controller to set the Baud Rate according to Parameter 553.

I/O set for 2 tells the controller to use Port 2. (M74 on Memory board) Again,
assuming RS232 as with I/O = 0 and I/O = 1, I/O set for 2 tells the controller to use
Parameter 38 bits 4 and 5. The Feed Rate and Stop Bit settings will be according to
Parameter 50 bits 7 and 0 respectively. The Baud Rate will be set according to
Parameter 250.

I/O = 3 is for communicating via Port 3 and is almost never used. If for some reason it
were used, the associated Parameters would be Parameter 38 bits 1 and 2,
Parameter 51 bits 7 and 0, and Baud Rate Parameter 251. Parameter 38 bits 6 and 7
should be set for 0 and 1 respectively for RS232.

Normally a machine will come with I/O set for 0. Sometimes a situation may arise
where you have a hardware problem which causes the 086 alarm. Many machines
will come with Parameter 12 set for communication through a 4-20 milliamp
interface instead of RS232. In this case if you change I/O to 1 the controller will use
Parameter 12 settings rather than Parameter 2. If Parameter 12 is set for the 4-20
interface it will not look for the signals it usually looks for at the RS232 port so the
086 alarm will not be issued. Oddly enough, this set of conditions normally allow
RS232 communication from the NC to the PC but not the other way. Although Alarm
086 almost always occurs due to a hardware problem, it is possible to generate it
through operation error.

If the Memory Board does have a hardware problem preventing it from being able to
communicate, it is probably either a Line Driver or Line Receiver IC. If the controller
will receive but not send, there may be a bad Line Driver. If the reverse is true then
there is likely a bad Line Receiver.
IC Specifications:
Driver - 75188
Receiver - 75189

These ICs are available from NTE. Their NTE designation is NTE75188 and
NTE75189. Both are described as an IC-DTL Quad Line Driver 14 Pin DIP.

11. Enter the desired value (i.e. 10001001)
12. Press the INPUT key

At this point the parameter has been changed and you should reset PWE to 0.

Changing Diagnostics:
Not all diagnostics can be changed but to change those that can be the procedure is
the same as for changing parameters except that upon reaching step 8, the PARAM
key should be pressed twice.

Note: To reach Parameters and Diagnostics more quickly than using the Cursor key,
press the No. key and when prompted enter the desired Parameter or Diagnostic
followed by the INPUT key. The cursor will advance to the this address.

If you have trouble communicating check to see if Parameter 2 Bit 2 is one or zero.

To send one from the controller:

1. Prepare the PC to receive the program.
2. Switch EDIT mode.
3. Press the PRGRM key.
4. Select the LIB soft key.
5. Key in the desired program beginning with an O.( i.e. O0025 )
6. Press the OUTPUT START key.
( OUTPUT should begin flashing in the lower right hand corner.)

The procedure for reloading parameters with a PC using Procomm is:

1. Switch to MDI mode.

2. Engage the Emergency Stop.
3. Press the PARAM key.
4. Press the Page Down key.
5. Cursor to PWE.
6. Press 1.
7. Press the INPUT key.
8. Cursor to TVON.

15. Using the paper copy of parameters enter all of the 900 series parameters.
16. Page back to parameter number 212 and set according to paper copy.
17. Set parameters 2,38,50,552,and 553 according to corresponding port.
18. Connect the serial cable.
19. Press PARAM key.
20. Press [PARAM] soft key.
21. Press the INPUT key.(LSK should flash in the lower right corner.
22. Start Procomm.
23. Press the PC Page Up key.
24. Press number 7 key. (For ASCII)
25. Type in the filename that contains the CNC parameters and press Enter.
(The CNC should flash INPUT in the lower right corner)
(The PC should display the text and count lines until finished)
26. Power the controller down and back up for the parameters to take effect.

Another problem may be with Over Travel Alarms. These will occur if the Stroke Limit
Parameters are lost. The Stroke Limits are stored in Parameters 700 to 707. These
alarms are normally superseded by the position deviation alarms. On an M controller
the stroke limit parameters are:

700 First Stored Stroke Limit X Axis

701 " " " " Y "
702 " " " " Z "
703 " " " " 4 "
704 Second Stored Stroke Limit X Axis
705 " " " " Y "
706 " " " " Z "
707 " " " " 4 "

On a T control they are:

700 First Stored Stroke Limit X Axis

701 " " " " Z "
702 " " " " 3 "
703 " " " " 4 "
704 Second Stored Stroke Limit X Axis
705 " " " " Z "
706 " " " " 3 "
707 " " " " 4 "

The Setting Range is 9999999 to -9999999. 700 to 703 will be set to a positive
number. 704 to 707 will be set to a negative number. Set to 9999999 or -9999999 to
open up stroke limits all the way. Most of the Pitch Error Compensation information
is stored in Parameters in the 1000, 2000, and 3000 series and also in the 6000 series
and must be re-entered after memory loss.

Also Diagnostics 300-699 (PMC Parameters) must be reloaded. The parameter for
Backlash compensation is 535 for X, 536 for Y, and 537 for Z.

The red LED on the NC Power Supply indicates an alarm condition. It can mean either
the power supply has an internal fault or an external output is shorted or grounded.
To determine which it is disconnect all of the cables except CP1 which is the 200vac
supply. Remove the power supply from the main board. Turn the power on. If the
red LED still comes on the power supply is bad. If it stays off, there is a fault
somewhere in the external circuit. The fault will normally be found in the machine
wiring but quite often will be a defective I/O card.

On a 0 Control CP3 on the power supply goes to the NC power On/Off switches. CP15
supplies the 24vdc to the external machine I/O.

Parameter 24.0 = 0 tells the controller to ignore the ladder relative to PMC axis
control.

Stroke limits are stored in Parameters 700 thru 707.

700 - X+
701 - Y+
702 - Z+
703 - 4+
704 - X-
705 - Y-
706 - Z-
707 - 4-
To open the limits all the way up enter 99999999 in the + parameter and -99999999
in the - parameter. If the command is being sent but the axis still will not move check
the diagnostic 8. This is the axis interlock. In the case of a T controller bit 8.2 is X+

8.3 is X-
8.4 is Z+
8.5 is Z-

These bits are machine interlock signals. They are normally called +MIT1, -MIT1,
+MIT2, -MIT2. This example is for a lathe so only two axes are shown. They are
normally used only on a lathe and in most cases are tied to the Tool Setter probes,
particularly on an Ecoca. If one of them is made the axis corresponding to it will not
move in the direction which corresponds. No alarms are associated with these. They
are Active Low inputs, so if the corresponding Diagnostic bit will be a 1 if the switch is
open. In the case of the Ecoca, the 24 volt ground (DCN) is fed through the switch to
the I/O board.

To view the Operating Monitor Screen,:

1. Press the OPR ALARM button.
2. Press the POS button.
3. Press the > (Scroll Right) button.
4. Press the MONI button.

Among the other information displayed here is the Axes load, the Spindle load and
the Spindle speed. If you page through the screens you can get to the Software
Operators Panel which allows you to use the arrow left and right keys to perform
functions normally handled by the MTB switches and buttons. For example, Mode
Select, Feed rate Override, Dry Run, etc.

The Spindle Orientation Parameter is 6531. The setting value is 0 to 4096. The
amount entered depends on the number of degrees you want the spindle to turn.
4096/360 = .088, so if you are trying to adjust the orient position, increasing the
value of the parameter by 1 will cause the spindle to stop .088 degrees further than
before. If you want to change the orient position by 1 degree at a time, you would
have to add or subtract 11.36 which cannot be entered into the parameter so you
would use 11.

Depending on the MTB you may need to adjust Parameter 6577. Which parameter
you adjust is determined by whether the machine uses the spindle motor encoder to
orient or a Fanuc Position Coder or a magnetic pick up.

Parameter 19.3 sets the Tool Compensation System A or B/C. Most of the time it
should be set to 0. On most machines if B/C system is selected the Z axis will, in Auto
Mode, respond to G28 Z0 by going home then moving down the amount of the
offset value of the tool in the spindle.

On a Model A Controller, the procedure for displaying the Program Library is:

1.Select EDIT Mode.

2.Press the "P" button until "P" is displayed.
3.With "P" flashing, press the Input button.
0-C Servo Alarms as Displayed on Servo Amplifier:

8, 9, A, b, C, d, e

Any of these in the LED display indicates an abnormal current alarm. Check the
following parameters first:

8n04
8n06
8n10
8n40
8n41
8n74
8n98

IF THE PARAMETERS ARE SET CORRECTLY:

1. Place the machine in E-Stop.

2. Remove the motor leads from the amplifier.
3. Release the E-Stop.

IF AN ABNORMAL CURRENT ALARM OCCURS IMMEDIATELY:

Check for noise on the actual current waveform at IR and IS. If there is noise on the
waveform check shielding and grounding. If the shielding and grounding are correct,
there is probably a defective command cable or hardware defect in the CNC. If there
is no noise on the waveform, the amplifier is probably defective.

IF AN ALARM OCCURS WHILE RUNNING THE MOTOR:

Check the motor and motor leads for shorting or grounding. If the motor and wiring
is good, measure the actual current at IR and IS.

The procedure for reloading a "Brain Dead" 0 Control when you have a copy of the
Parameters on Disk or PC is:
1. Set the E-Stop ON. (Button in)
2. Select MDI mode.
3. Set PWE = 1
4. Set Parameter 901 to the correct value.
5. Press the DELETE key when prompted to by the controller. (You must delete the
files in order to continue)
6. Cycle power.
7. Set Parameter 38 to the correct value.
8. Make sure EIA/ISO = 1.
9. Make sure I/O = 0.
10. Cycle power.
11. Set the PC's protocol for 4800,E,7,2. (When parameters are lost, the controller
defaults to this protocol)
12. Select EDIT mode.
13. With E-Stop in and Parameter Page selected, press EOB and INPUT together. (LSK
will start to flash)
14. Send the Parameters from the PC. (When the data begins to flow, LSK will change
to INPUT and flash)
15. When INPUT disappears, cycle power.
16. Select Diagnostics Page.
17. Release the E-Stop.
18. Press INPUT only.(LSK will flash)
19. Go to the PC and send the Diagnostics. (When data begins to flow, LSK change to
INPUT and begin to flash)
20. When INPUT disappears, cycle power.
21. Set Keep Relays as required by the Machine Tool Builder.
22. Cycle power.

Remember that when working with a brain dead controller that the CRT may display
EDIT mode regardless of what mode is actually selected so go ahead and put the
machine in MDI mode and enter the necessary parameters.

If Alarm 085 is continually issued, double check the PC's protocol and check
Parameters 2, 10, 38, and 552 to make sure the controller defaulted to 4800,E, 7,2.
When viewing the Diagnostics on a PC, N10300 = D0300 and so forth.

The timers are in milliseconds so a value of 1000 in a timer diagnostic equals one
second. As an example, D320 and D325 are often used for a machines lube timer.
D320 will be used for the time on while D325 will be for the time off. If D320 is set
for 10000 and D325 is set for 1200000, the lube pump will turn on for ten seconds
every twenty minutes.

When a dwell is executed, the X Axis Distance To Go display counts down the time
left.

The parameters you need to calibrate the tool setter are 743- 746.

8., 9., A., b., C., d., E.

These are IPM alarms. Place the machine in E-Stop Wait about ten minutes. Release
the E-Stop. If the cause of the alarm was IPM overheat, the alarm will not re-occur
unless the ambient temperature is too high or the operating conditions are such as
to cause a re-occurrence. If the alarm does recur as soon as the E-Stop is released,
check for noise on the actual current waveform. If there is noise, check the shielding
and grounding. If the shielding and grounding are good, there may be a defective
cable or defect in the CNC. If there is no noise, the amplifier may be defective. If the
alarm occurs while running the motor, check same as for over current alarms.

If you have a problem with the NC putting two rectangular characters in front of each
block of data when uploading a program, try changing Parameter 70.7.

To access the Servo Monitor page:

1. Press PARAM/DGNOS button.
2. Press SV-PRM soft key.
3. Press Page Down button until you see the axis.

To find out the software information power up the NC in E-Stop mode. After a few
seconds, it will be displayed.

Parameter 28.2 determines if the actual feed rate is displayed or not. If it equals 0, it
is not displayed on the Position page or on the Program Check screen.

Parameter 14.2 works the same way for actual spindle speed and the current tool
display.

If an axis continually over travels even after using P+CAN, try changing the soft limit
parameter for the required direction of the axis to all nines. Keep in mind that the
second and even third stored stroke limits may be set. If they are you must open
them up as well.

The number of parts machined are stored in Parameter 779. This number as well as
other parameters are stored in volatile memory and as such can be accidentally or
purposely wiped out. If this happens, variable 3002 will be reset and you will not
know how many Run Hours are on the machine.

The value in variable 3002 is in decimal form. Everything to the left of the decimal
point is in one hour increments. Everything to the right is some fraction of an hour.

Variable 3901 stores the number of parts machined.

To display the value of Timers and Counters in Decimal instead of Binary Parameter
19.7 equal 1. If you change this bit you will have to cycle power (Alarm 000).

If you have several machine alarms along with Alarm 401, check for a loose I/O
board. Sometimes Alarm 401 will be issued if the MCC contactor drops out and pulls
back in quickly. This can be caused by any of the usual things that cause MCC to drop
out (Door switch, E-Stop, Over travel switch, etc.). In this case an alarm condition
may or may not be issued of the amplifier LED display. Also, in this case, the 401
alarm can be removed by pressing the Reset button.

Alarm 401 can be caused by a defective power supply module (PSM). This is a likely
cause when there are no other alarms displayed. Normally in this case the CRT will
also display NOT READY ALARM at the bottom of the screen but the MCC contactor
will be pulled in. Also, the PSM and the Servo Amplifier will display the usual dashed
lines as they do whenever the drive is in a NOT READY state. If the Reset button is
continually pressed the alarm will go away but the drive will not become ready (0 will
not be displayed). The indication that this will typically give is that everything is OK
with the machine side and the drives but the CNC just does not realize it. Servo

Sometimes if you try to execute an MDI command by entering the command,

pressing Insert and Cycle Start and the machine just sits there, usually with the Cycle
Start light on it may be because the machine builder did not write the Cycle Start into
the ladder for the MDI functions. In this case, try entering the command, pressing
Input and Output Start.

When the values are in Binary, the eight bits work this way:

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

The setting unit is 50 milliseconds.

To designate 1000 milliseconds for example,

00010100 which is:

EOB, Z

When outputting parameters; press EOB and OUTPUT START together to send the
900 (option) parameters. This does not work when inputting parameters but you can
use the EOB to allow input of other parameters while in E-Stop condition. If a 0
controller displays alarm 401 and 4n4 (414, 424, etc.) check the LED display on the
servo amplifier. If it shows a 9, check the motor leads. Often a motor cable will
become damaged causing two or more leads to short together or to ground out. Of
course, this will allow an excessive current to flow in the output circuit of the
amplifier. On most machines the motor/encoder cables lay in the bottom of the
casting sometimes riding in energy chains. It is not uncommon for coolant, oil, etc to
collect and eventually making the cable brittle and the back and forth motion causes
cracks in the insulation. In this case, the alarms may be intermittent and also a given
axis may generate the alarms while a different axis is the one in motion. What
follows is the functioning of MCC on an Ecoca turning center with a 0-TC controller
using Alpha drives.

MCC (KM101) is energized by L11 (220 vac) through terminals 1 and 3 of connector
CX3 of the Power Supply Module and the normally open contact of KA24. KA24 is
energized by 24 vdc through the normally closed contact of KA23 and the E-Stop
button on the operators panel(SB1). KA23 is the X/Z Axis Spindle Safety Clutch
Protection relay. It is held in by the I/O board, address Y52.3.

On a controller with Alpha drives they are connected this way:

The incoming 220 vac is supplied to CX1A pin 1 (220R) and CX1A pin 2 (220S) of the
Power Supply Module. This 220 is passed by jumpers from CX1B pin 1 and CX1B pin 2
of the Power Supply Module to CX1A Pins 1 and 2 of the Spindle Amplifier. From this
AC source the PSM generates 24vdc which is passed by jumpers from CX2B pins 1
and 2 to the Spindle Amplifier CX2A pins 1 and 2. This 24vdc is passed by jumper
from the Spindle Amplifier CX2B pins 1 and 2 to the Servo Amplifier CX2A pins 1 and
2. This 24 volts powers the control components of the Spindle Amplifier and Servo
Amplifier which allows them to operate when regardless of MCC. Once the controller
is turned on and becomes Ready, MCC is energized. This applies 220 vac to terminals
L1, L2 and L3 of the Power Supply Module. From this the AC source, the DC Link
voltage is generated. This voltage is passed from the PSM terminals P and N by
jumpers to the Spindle Amplifier terminals P and N then by jumpers to the Servo
Amplifier terminals P and N. This voltage powers the drive components on both
amplifiers. Serial communication is accomplished by connecting JX1B of the PSM to
JX1A of the Spindle Amplifier then from JX1B of the Spindle Amplifier to JX1A of the
Servo Amplifier. The last drive in this series must have a termination plug on it's JX1B
connector.

Alarm 417 indicates that a parameter of the digital servo system is set
incorrectly. The parameters are, of course, dependent on the type of controller.

When working with a Fanuc 0 Parameter Manual, it is important to note that the
parameters are not 100% sequential, that is, they will be in order up to a point then
they will change. So, if you're looking for parameter 124, for example, you won't find
it listed after parameter 123. The book jumps from 123 to 130. Parameter 124 shows
up 80 pages later following parameter 399. The parameter manual for the 18
controls is laid out sequentially.

The PLC (ladder) of 0 and older controllers cannot be input or output. In the case of a
0 control, it is stored on EPROMS so the chip has to be removed and programmed or
replaced. It is very rare for one of these chips to fail but if you are really concerned
about that happening your only recourse is to remove the chips from the memory
board and make copies. If the memory board fails and you have to replace it, you
must remove the chips from the old board to install on the new one.

The CRT is usually a Toshiba. It consists of a chassis, the picture tube Toshiba part
number E8069PDA, a board Toshiba part number FW01165F-1. The Toshiba part
number for the complete unit is D9MM-11A. The Fanuc part number for this
assembly is A61L-0001-0093. The CRT assembly has two cables. One is CN1 which
goes to CCX4 of the Graphic Card. The other is CN2 which goes to CP15 of the Power
Unit. CN2 is a six pin connector. Pins 1 and 2 are not used. Pins 3 and 4 are -24vdc
relative to pin 5 which is the common. Pin 6 is ground.

The memory capacity of an 0-D controller cannot be upgraded. This is due to the way
the controller is designed and the system software. The amount of memory and
many of the other options are determined at the time the controller is built and
cannot be changed. In the case of memory, the memory board cannot be changed to
get more memory.

If you walk up to a machine with a 0 controller and command G28 Z0, for example,
the machine will normally go to the G54 Z position. If the G54 Z position is 0, the axis
will go to it's home position (machine zero). If there is a positive number in G54 Z,
the axis will probably over travel in the positive direction. If the value in G54 Z is, for
example, -5.0000, the axis will go to a negative five inches from machine zero for the
axis.

If a machine with a zero controller which when an offset value is entered, the value is
added to the current setting rather than replacing it change parameter 1.4 (IOF) to 0.
This is for an M controller. The description is AN OFFSET VALUE INPUT FROM THE
MDI PANEL IN THE ABS MODE/INCREMENTAL MODE. The same parameter on a T
controller is similar in function. Its name is ORC, when set to zero an offset value is
entered as a diameter. When it equals 1 the value is specified as a radius value.

Alarm 008 cannot normally be found in the maintenance manual. It means that
during programming there was an illegal use of program end. A program was
registered without an M02, M30, etc. If you have trouble doing DNC operations with
a 0 controller, try setting these parameters to the following settings which are being
used for the Max-1Rebel at Redco Machine:

P38 01001010
P51 00000001
P55 00000000
P251 13
P914 00001010
I/O 3

In this case, set the PC for a baud rate of 38400.

If a zero control powers up with a blank screen or scrambled data it may be

necessary to perform a memory clear by holding the RESET button and the DELETE
button while powering up the controller. Before resorting to this, first try replacing
the GRAPHIC card, if possible. You can also try disconnecting all cables from the
boards except for the cable between the GRAPHIC card and the CRT. Another
possible cause for this condition is either a bad master board, a bad memory board
or both. I have seen cases where both boards are bad at the same time. The Master
board of an 0-MC controller has six LEDs which indicate various control states. These
LEDs are very useful in troubleshooting those alarms that are not displayed on the
CRT. They are as follows:

L1 L2 L3
L4 L5 L6

NUMBER COLOR DESCRIPTION

L1 GREEN DOES NOT INDICATE ALARM, BLINKS DURING AUTOMATIC

OPERATION
TURNS OFF WHEN ALARMS ARE PRESENT.

L2 RED ON DURING ALARM STATE. NORMALLY INDICATES AN ALARM

WHICH IS

CHECK THE
CRT FOR ALARMS SUCH AS NOT READY, OVERTRAVEL, ETC.

L3 RED NO MEMORY CARD IS INSTALLED.

9000 series programs such as ATC Macros are protected by parameter 10.4, if set for
one, programs can not be viewed or edited.

Servo Tuning screen using the X axis as example:

FUN. BIT = Parameter 8103

LOOP GAIN = Parameter 517 or 512
TUNING SET = Used by automatic servo tuning function
SET PERIOD = Used by automatic servo tuning function
INT. GAIN = Parameter 8143
PROP. GAIN = Parameter 8144
FILTER = Parameter 8167
VELOC. GAIN = Parameter 8121 + 256 divided by 256 times 100
ALARM 1 = Diagnostic 720
ALARM 2 = Diagnostic 730
ALARM 3 = Diagnostic 760
ALARM 4 = Diagnostic 770
LOOP GAIN = Actual Loop Gain
POSITION ERROR = Actual position error (Diagnostic 300)
CURRENT % = Percent of rated value
SPEED RPM = Actual motor RPM

The eight bits of each alarm (1-4) correspond directly with the diagnostics to which
they are associated. In the event of a servo alarm you can check the details of the
alarm on the Servo Tuning page just as you would with the diagnostic. Alarm 1 is
used to check the details of alarm 400 and 414 just as Diagnostic 720 is. Alarm 2 is
for disconnection alarms and overload alarms. Alarm 3 and 4 are for checking the
details of alarm 319.

If the Servo Tuning screen is not displayed by pressing the DGNOS PARAM button,
the right CHAPTER key, SV PARA soft key the SV TUN soft key, check parameter 389.0
(SVS), it must be 0 for the screen to be displayed.

If none of the axes of a machine will move, check the diagnostic for the STLK signal.
This signal, when set to 1, will prevent all axis movement. In the case of a 0 controller
STLK is Diagnostic 120.1.

The M-Code which increments the parts counter is D40.3.If it is set to 1, the parts
count will be incremented by M02 and/or M30. If it is set to 0, the M-Code can be
specified. The allowable range is between M0-M255 but it can not be M98 or M99.
The desired M-Code is specified in parameter 219. Parameter 600 stores the Parts
Required while parameter 779 stores the Parts Preset.

On a 0 controller with Alpha drives, parameters 6560 - 6563 are used to adjust
spindle gain for different gear ranges. They are especially useful for getting the
spindle to be more rigid during orientation. On most machines only one or two of
them are normally used and the standard setting is 1000.

On a 0T controller the value stored in the soft limit parameters (i.e. 705 for Z-) is
equal to roughly 39 millionths (.000039).

0 Control with standard memory has a memory capacity of 32767 characters or 63

programs whichever comes first. Each instruction equals one character or block of
memory. (i.e. M, G, 0, Z, etc.) When programming you can save memory by leaving
out unnecessary things especially zeros. Instead of inserting M06 in a program it
should be M6. Instead of Z-5.0 it should be Z-5. With a Parameter change you can
even omit the decimal point when inputting units.

To search for a particular element in a program:

1. Go to EDIT mode.
2. Type in what you are searching for.
3. Press the Cursor UP button if what you are looking for is above your current
position in the program. Cursor
DOWN button if what you are looking for is below your current position in the
program. The memory Board
has four sockets for 256k memory chips.
