B-64344EN/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the programmed value, compensation
value, current position, and external signal settings.
Also, never attempt to machine a workpiece without
first checking the operation of the machine. Before
starting a production run, ensure that the machine is
operating correctly by performing a trial run using, for
example, the single block, feedrate override, or
machine lock function, or by operating the machine
with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted. Failure to
confirm the correct operation of the machine may
result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly
causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for
the intended operation. Generally, for each machine,
there is a maximum allowable feedrate. The
appropriate feedrate varies with the intended
operation. Refer to the manual provided with the
machine to determine the maximum allowable
feedrate. If a machine is run at other than the correct
speed, it may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing
damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly
check the direction and amount of compensation.
Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data
may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly,
possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or
machine itself, or injury to the user.
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set.
Usually, there is no need to change them. When,
however, there is no alternative other than to change
a parameter, ensure that you fully Failure to set a
parameter correctly may result in the machine
behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to
the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.

s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64344EN/02

CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not
touch any of the keys on the MDI panel until the
position display or alarm screen appears on the CNC
unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to
maintenance or other special operations. Pressing
any of these keys may place the CNC unit in other
than its normal state. Starting the machine in this
state may cause it to behave unexpectedly.
2 The operator's manual for Program Transfer Tool
describes all the basic functions of the CNC,
including the optional functions. The selected
optional functions vary with the machine. Some
functions described in this manual may not,
therefore, be supported by your machine. Check the
machine specifications before using Program
Transfer Tool.
3 Some machine operations and screen functions are
implemented by the machine tool builder. For an
explanation of their usage and related notes, refer to
the manual provided by the machine tool builder.
For example:
- On some machines, executing a tool function
causes the tool change unit to operate. When
executing a tool function on such a machine,
stand well clear of the tool change unit.
Otherwise, there is a danger of injury to the
operator.
- Many auxiliary functions trigger physical
operations, such as rotation of the spindle. Before
attempting to use an auxiliary function, therefore,
ensure that you are fully aware of the operation to
be triggered by that function.

NOTE
Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally,
the contents of memory are not lost by a power on/off
operation. However, the contents of memory may be
erased by mistake, or important data in nonvolatile
memory may have to be erased upon recovering
from a failure.
To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible
if such a situation arises, always make a backup of
the data in advance.

B-64344EN/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND NOTES RELATING TO THE PROGRAM TRANSFER

TOOL
Warnings and notes relating to the Program Transfer Tool are described
below and also in the chapters in this manual. Before using the Program
Transfer Tool, read this manual thoroughly and be familiar with the
contents of the warnings, cautions, and notes.

WARNING
1 When using a program on an actual CNC machine,
ensure that the machine and tool controlled by the
program instructions operate safely before starting
to operate the machine.
If an incorrect program is used for a reason, or if a
program is used incorrectly, the machine or tool may
operate unpredictably, possibly causing damage to
the tool, machine, or workpiece, or a danger of the
user being seriously injured.
2 This software transfers programs to a CNC
machine, but the software does not check whether
these programs operate on the CNC machine
properly. When using a program on an actual CNC
machine, therefore, observe the instructions
described in warning 1 above.
3 When even a program that has run normally on an
actual CNC machine is used repeatedly, the
contents of the program input to the CNC machine
may change because of degradation of the storage
medium of the program or change in communication
environment if the program is transferred by a
communication function. Therefore, when using a
program on the actual CNC machine, observe the
instructions described in warning 1 above.

In this manual, programs for giving CNC machines

instructions to operate are referred to as programs.
In manuals of CNC machines, these programs are
sometimes called machining programs, part
programs, or programs. When these terms have the
same meanings and purposes as the term
"program" used in this manual, be sure to observe
the warnings described above.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64344EN/02

Exclusive control for files

NOTE
Be careful not to attempt to perform more than one
operation such as downloading, uploading, editing,
copying, movement, and deletion for one program
at the same time.

Downloading to the program memory and Series 30i/ 31i /32i DATA SERVER

NOTE
O numbers and file names stored in the program
memory or DATA SERVER are not file names on
the personal computer but are O numbers and file
names written in files.
It is recommended that the write protection
parameter of the CNC be set to prevent
unpredictable overwriting.

Downloading of data other than programs

NOTE
When tool offsets, custom macros, and workpiece
origin offsets are downloaded, values in the CNC
are changed.

The Ethernet setting of the CNC is described below.

CAUTION
When using the Ethernet board or Fast Ethernet
board function for the first time, carefully set an IP
address and so forth and sufficiently conduct a
communication test, consulting with the network
administrator of your company.
If an IP address, for example, is set incorrectly,
the operation of the entire network can suffer from
a communication error. Care must be taken.
Particularly, if a duplicate IP address is set, a
communication error can occur intermittently,
resulting in a CNC system error. Care must be
taken.

NOTE
1 To use the FOCAS2/Ethernet function, the option
function for each CNC used is required.
For details, see "Ethernet board or data server

12 Workpiece origin offsets EXT_WKZ.TXT

*1 The tool management data and the magazine data not only can be
transferred but also can be deleted.
*2 The file name has been basically decided for each data. The file names of
the description are the following data.
- A data which is not managed for each path by CNC
- The 1st path data which is managed for each path by CNC
These file name is the same as given when data is output to a memory
card without specifying a file name.
For data of a second or subsequent path, the extension "P-path-number"
is used. However, for the 10th path, the extension is "P10" without "-".
Example:
Tool geometry size data of the 1st path: TOOLSIZE.TXT
Tool geometry size data of the 2nd path: TOOLSIZE.P-2
Tool geometry size data of the 10th path: TOOLSIZE.P10
These file name is the same as given when bit 0 of parameter No. 138 is
set to 1 on the CNC and data is output to a memory card without
specifying a file name.
*3 When FAST Ethernet board / FAST Data Server board is used, the name
data of customize data and the magazine data cannot be downloaded.
