Zero Memory Procedure

****Please read this first!


1. Send machine back to cold start position. From the ENTER NEXT COMMAND prompt type CS
[Enter] to perform cold start. If using the “2nd home” feature, write down the respective X-Y-Z-A-
B values for later input.
2. Download all programs and offsets to your PC using the FadalCNC-DNC software or other
communications software.
3. Load tool #1 into the spindle. (In MDI…M6 T1)
4. From the ENTER NEXT COMMAND, type BL then press ENTER to display backlash values. There
are 3 values for X, 3 values for Y, only 1 each for Z, A, or B. Record values on Table 1.
5. From ENTER NEXT COMMAND, type SETP then press ENTER to display parameter page 1.
Record values on Table 1. (You may not have all items listed on the table.)
6. After recording page 1, press P to advance to page 2, record values, and then P again for page 3.
Press MANUAL to exit the parameter area.
7. From ENTER NEXT COMMAND, type DI then press ENTER then type G0 3000 (the digit after G
is the number 0, not the letter O) then press ENTER. (You are now in diagnostic mode on page 1.)
8. Press the Spacebar 1 time to advance to page 2. Then press 5 (Zero Memory). Press Y to answer
yes, press Y to answer yes a 2nd time, wait several seconds, then press 2 (Start CNC).
9. Power off machine for 10 seconds. Power back up. Machine will default to a 4020. Don’t panic. Re-
enter the information you recorded, using the appropriate commands as used above. When you are
entering the parameter values, each time you enter a value and press ENTER, the value will be
changed, and the cursor will advance to the next question. Most questions have the potential
answers listed on the bottom half of the screen. You will input the appropriate numeric value
associated with each answer. When all parameters are input, press MANUAL and continue below:
To insert the backlash values, use this format:
BL,1,value,value,value (for X)
BL,2,value,value,value (for Y)
BL,3,value (for Z)
BL,4,value (for A)
BL,5,value (for B)
10. Power machine off for 10 seconds again. On power-up, it will now recognize your parameters. If
you have a 4th or 4th/5th axis, you will now have to enter the BL,4,value and the BL,5,value.
11. After cold start, at ENTER NEXT COMMAND type SETTO then press ENTER to reset ATC to tool
#1. Jog any axis to its “2nd home” location, then use the command SETX/SETY/SETZ
accordingly.
12. Upload all saved programs and tooling.
