The FANUC Series 16i, 160i, 18i, 180i, 21i, and 210i are super–compact
ultra–thin CNC models with built–in liquid crystal displays. Each CNC
unit is only 60 mm deep. This compactness was achieved by
accommodating a small CNC printed–circuit board developed by
utilizing state–of–the–art LSI and surface–mount technologies
immediately behind the liquid crystal display.
Super–compact, ultra–thin open CNC models are also available. They are
implemented on a CNC printed–circuit board incorporating PC functions
that are fully compatible with the IBM PC(*).
The amount of cabling in the electrical unit of a machine tool can be
significantly reduced by using a high–speed serial servo bus, which
connects the CNC control unit and multiple servo amplifiers via a single
optical fiber, and compact distributed I/O modules, which can be
separately mounted on the machine operator’s panel and control panel.
These innovations can simplify the electrical unit of the machine tool.

3.1 Positioning is done with each axis separately (Non linear interpolation
type positioning).
POSITIONING (G00) Any of the following tool paths can be selected using parameters.
Non linear interpolation positioning
Each axis is independently positioned at the rapid traverse rate, then
punch is performed. The tool path is normally straight.
Linear interpolation–type positioning
Positioning is performed within the shortest possible time by moving
along a straight line to a specified point at a speed not higher than a
rapid traverse rate for each axis.
Linear interpolation–type positioning Start position
Non linear interpolation

End position positioning
It is decelerated, to a stop at the end point, and imposition check is

performed (checks whether the machine has come to the specified
position). The in-position check can be suppressed using a parameter.
Width of imposition can be set as a parameter.

4.1 Positioning of each axis is done in rapid motion by the positioning

command (G00).
RAPID TRAVERSE There is no need to program rapid traverse rate, because the rates are set
in the parameter (per axis).

CAUTION
The above feed rates are limits according to the NC’s
interpolation capacity when the high–resolution detection
interface is equipped. When the whole system is
considered, there are also limits according to the servo
system. For details, refer to Appendix A.
27
4.2 Feed rates of linear interpolation (G01), and circular interpolation (G02,
G03) are commanded with numbers after the F code.
CUTTING FEED RATE
4.2.1 In cutting feed, it is controlled so that speed of the tangential direction is

Tangential Speed always the same commanded speed.
Constant Control
4.2.2 Cutting feed rate upper limit can be set as parameters. If the actual cutting
Cutting Feed Rate feed rate (feed rate with override) is commanded exceeding the upper
limit, it is clamped to a speed not exceeding the upper limit.
Clamp
4.2.3 Tool feed rate per minute is directly commanded by numerical value after
Per Minute Feed (G94) F.

OVERRIDE
4.3.1 The per minute feed can be overrided by:

Feed Rate Override 0 to 254% (per every 1%).
4.3.2 All cutting feed rate can be overrided by:

Second Feed Rate 0 to 254% (per every 1%)
A second override can be performed on feed rats once overrided.

4.3.3 Rapid traverse rate can be overridden by :

Rapid Traverse X, Y axis: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%
T, C axis : 50%, 100%
Override F0: A constant speed per axis can be set by parameter
4.3.4 Feed rate override and the second feed rate override can be clamped to

4.3.7 It is possible to override the X–/Y–axis rapid traverse linear

Rapid Traverse Time acceleration/deceleration time constant in a range from 1% to 100% in 1%
steps. This function obtains an optimum time constant by overriding the
Constant Override linear acceleration/deceleration time constant depending on changes in
the weight of workpieces being machined. The amount of override is
determined according to the time constant set up for maximum
acceleration. Combining this function with a function for changing the
time constant through seven steps according to the positioning distance
ensures precise adjustments.

It is possible to apply quadratic–curve acceleration/deceleration to cutting

bell–shape acceleration/deceleration, because the curve resembles the
outline of a bell. Let a time constant be TC (the time required to change
the speed from 0 to the specified value F or vice versa). Half (F/2) the
specified speed F is reached in half the time TC, and curve OA is
represented by:

Curve AB is symmetrical to curve OA with respect to point A. This type

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.

B–63122EN/01 NC FUNCTION 5. REFERENCE POSITION
5.3 It is possible to return the workpiece to the floating reference position by

commanding the G30.1.
FLOATING The floating reference position is located on the machine and can be a
REFERENCE reference position of some sort of machine operation. It is not always a
POSITION RETURN fixed position but may vary in some cases. The floating reference
position can be set using the soft keys of MDI and can be memorized even
(G30.1)
if the power is turned off.
Generally, the position where the workpieces can be replaced on punch
press machine is a set position on top of the machinery. The workpieces
cannot be replaced at any machine angle. Normally the workpieces
replacement position is at any of the No. 1 reference position. The
workpiece can be restored to these positions easily by G28 command.
However, depending on the machine, the workpieces can be replaced at
any position as long as it does not contact the machine.
For machinery such as these, in order to reduce the cycle time, it is
advantageous to replace workpieces at a position as close as possible to
the current position. For this purpose, workpiece replacement position
must be changed for each work shape and this feature can be easily
realized by this function. Namely, the workpiece replacement position
which is suitable for workpieces can be memorized as the floating
reference position and it is possible to return the workpiece to the
workpiece replacement position easily by commanding the G30.1.
Format
G30.1 _ ;
: It is the intermediate point to the floating reference position and is

commanded by an absolute value or an incremental value.
Explanations When the G30.1 is commanded, the axis commanded is set to the
intermediate point with rapid traverse at first and then is set to the floating
reference position from the intermediate point with rapid traverse. The
positioning to the intermediate point or to the floating point is performed
at rapid traverse for each axis (non-linear positioning). The floating
reference position return completion signal is output after completing the
floating reference position return.

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

As necessary, one of the above coordinate systems is used for specifying
coordinates for the target position of the tool.

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.

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.

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.

10. TOOL FUNCTIONS NC FUNCTION B–63122EN/01
10.1 Selection of tools can be done by commanding tool numbers with an

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.
CAUTION
The T–code must be issued in positioning mode (G00).
NOTE
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.
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.
62
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
MULTIPLE TOOL using the T command (cartridge indexing). Then, at that position, the tool
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.

10.4.1 The pot numbers of a multiple–tool system are specified with T codes
Tool Number consisting of three or four digits, as follows:
T ∆ ∆;
Tool number of the multiple–tool system
Pot number (for specifying a tool holder)
The T codes used for controlling the indexing of the turret (tool holder)
in a CNC are two–digit pot numbers from 00 to 99, including those for
a multiple–tool system as shown above.
The T codes consisting of three or four digits are used to control a
multiple–tool system. The first two digits are the pot numbers of the
multiple–tool system and the last two digits are the tool numbers in the
multiple–tool system.
63
10.4.2 The tools of a multiple–tool system are selected by turning the C axis.
Relationship Between A tool is selected by placing it at the tool reference position. This position
is parallel to the Y axis and on the center line of the tool holder of a
the Multiple–tool multiple–tool system.
System and the C Axis For each tool in a multiple–tool system, the angle the tool makes with the
tool reference position is set on the tool registered screen. When the T
code of a multiple–tool system is issued, the CNC system sends an
internal command to the C axis, indicating the angle with the tool
reference position corresponding to the selected tool. The CNC system
places the selected tool in the tool reference position.

CAUTION
Setting the angle with the tool reference position to 0
indicates the tool that is selected when the indexing of the
multiple–tool system is finished.

10.4.3 When a multiple–tool system is used, the centers of the dies in the
Tool Compensation multiple–tool system are not at the center of the tool holder. Therefore,
tool compensation is necessary. Tool compensation for tools in a
multiple–tool system works in the direction of the Y axis only. Specify
the distance between the center of the tool holder and each of the tools
when the tool is located in the tool reference position in one of the tool
registered screen. The distance is the compensation value in the direction
of the Y axis.

10.5 Set the maximum number of punches for each tool, on the CRT screen.
When the number of executed punches for the selected tool exceeds the
TOOL LIFE maximum number of punches for that tool, the tool life reached signal
MANAGEMENT PTLCH is output. This signal is used to issue an alarm on the PMC or
request the operator to change the tool.
The number of executed punches and maximum number of punches can
be set and displayed by using the [TOOL] soft key on the
<OFFSET/SETTING> screen, and the [TOOL LIFE] screen.
10.6 This function makes the area used for registering tool numbers, tool
position compensation, punch count, and other tool data available to the
TOOL DATA SETTING user. This enables the user to customize the registered tool data. This
FUNCTION allows the conventional tool data setting method to be changed and the
number of tools that can be registered to be increased considerably.
The number of usable tools are depended on machine tool builder.
Refer to the manual of the machine tool builder.
A memory area consisting of 16KB (161024 bytes) is provided for the
tool data setting function.

11.1 When an 8–digit number after address M is commanded, a 32–bit binary

code is output. Maximum input digits are specified with parameters for
MISCELLANEOUS this code. This function is used for on/off at the machine side. A single
FUNCTIONS M code can be commanded in one block. The following M codes are
decoded and output:
M00 : Program stop
M01 : Optional stop
M02 : End of program
M30 : End of program and tape rewind
The above M codes can also be output in binary codes.
M98 (sub program call) and M99 (return from sub program) and always
processed in the NC so, signal will not be output.
Some of the following M–code operations are performed within the CNC.
Note, however, that M–code signals are output.
Forming mode and cancel forming mode
Workpiece clamp and unclamp
Nibbling mode and cancel nibbling mode
Punching mode and laser mode
WARNING
These M–code operations must be specified within a single
block.
NOTE
These M–code operations are specified by parameters.
68
11.2 Up to three M codes can be simultaneously specified in one block.

As these M codes are simultaneously sent to PMC side, the machining
1–BLOCK PLURAL cycle time compared with the conventional 1–block single M command
M COMMAND is reduced.
Example)
(i) 1–block single M command
M40;
M50;

CAUTION
The maximum input value of the first M code is 99999999,
while the maximum input values of the second and third M
codes are 65535.
NOTE
A strobe signal is provided for each of the first to third M
codes (MF, MF2, and MF3).
When all the operations for the first to third M codes are
completed, completion signal FIN is output.
11.3 When an 8–digit number after address B is commanded, a 32–bit binary

11.4 The communication of execution command signal (strobe signal) and

completion signal is the M/S/T/B function were simplified to realize a
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
signal FIN.

2 In the conventional system, only one completion signal is
available for all functions of M/S/T/B. However, in the high–
speed system, one completion signal is available for each
of M/S/T/B functions.

12 PROGRAM CONFIGURATION
72
B–63122EN/01 NC FUNCTION 12. PROGRAM CONFIGURATION
12.1 A program number is given to each program to distinguish a program

from other programs. The program number is given at the head of each
PROGRAM NUMBER program, with a 4–digit number after the address 0.
Program number of the program currently under execution is always
displayed on the CRT screen. Program search of programs registered in
the memory is done with the program number. The program number can
be used in various ways.
12.2 A program name can be given to the program to distinguish the program
from other programs when displaying all the registered program on a
PROGRAM NAME screen. Register the name between the control–out and the control–in.
Any codes usable in the CNC can be used for the program name.
The program name is displayed with the program number in the directory
display of registered programs. Note that the program name displayed is
within 31 characters.
Example) 01234 (PROGRAM FOR ATC);
12.3 A program is divided into the main program and the sub program. The
CNC normally operates according to the main program, but when a
MAIN PROGRAM command calling a sub program is encountered in the main program,
control is passed to the sub program. When a command indicating to
return to the main program is encountered in the sub program, control is
returned to the main program.
73
12.4 When there are fixed sequences or frequently repeated patterns in a

program, programming can be simplified by entering these pattern as sub
SUB PROGRAM programs to the memory. Sub program is called by M98, and M99
commands return from the sub program. The sub program can be nested
4 folds.

NOTE
Whether address P specifies the file number or program
number is selected by a parameter.
12.6 Sequence number can be given in a 5–digit number after the address N at
the head of the program block.
SEQUENCE NUMBER The sequence number of the program under execution is always displayed
on the CRT screen. The sequence number can also be searched in the
program by the sequence number search function.
12.7 Either the EIA or the ISO code can be used as tape code. The input
program code is distinguished with the first end of block code (EIA: CR,
TAPE CODES ISO: LF). See the List of Tape Codes (Appendix. C) for tape codes used.

14. TOOL COMPENSATION FUNCTION NC FUNCTION B–63122EN/01
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
installation. (Up to 136 tools, values: Positive number consisting of eight
digits)
CAUTION
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)
98
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.

15.2 In large–stroke machines, a low axis–to–axis straightness would decrease

their machining precision. Axis–to–axis straightness can be improved by
STRAIGHTNESS compensating the position of an axis (compensation axis) associated with
COMPENSATION a movement axis in detection units. With this function, the position of an
axis (specified using a parameter) is compensated, as the associated
movement axis (specified using a parameter) is shifted. This axis
compensation is put in effect for the movement axis between pitch error
compensation points.

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

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
115
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.
117
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.
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.
NOTE
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:
16 points DI (for read only)
48 points DO (for output only)
Tool offset amount, work zero point offset amount
Position information (actual position, skip position, block end
position, etc.)
Modal information (F code, G code for each group, etc.)
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.)

exchange cycle, and resume machining after tool exchange.
120
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 flash 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 flash 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 flash 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.
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.
NOTE
1 When the macro executor is attached, the order–made
macro cannot be specified.
2 To use the macro executor function for graphics display, the
option for the graphics function is required.
121
18.5 As with the conversational macro function, the C language executor

function is used to customize screens and include unique operations.
C LANGUAGE Application programs for display and operation can be created in standard
EXECUTER C language, in the same way as programs are made for normal personal
FUNCTION 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 (*). All available display units are supported.
User applications can be included in the current CNC system.
CAUTION
To execute C Executor and application programs, 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 macro executor. Not only
executor with the macro executable macros, but also conversational macros can be used together.
executor 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.

19.1 This function automatically decelerates the tool at a corner according to

the corner angle. It can prevent a large sag caused by acceleration/
AUTOMATIC deceleration and servo delay on the junction of two blocks.
CORNER If the angle made by two consecutive blocks is less than the angle set by
DECELERATION the parameter in the cutting mode (G64), the speed is automatically
reduced at the end of the block. When the speed is reduced to the value
set by the parameter or lower, movement of the next block starts.

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
Command path

. . . . . . . . . . . . (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.
125
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.

129
20. AXES CONTROL NC FUNCTION B–63122EN/01
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.
130
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
is carried out based on the traveling command for that axis as in normal
case or whether the slave axis traveling is carried out while synchronizing
with the traveling of the master axis.
20.7 This function usually checks position deviation amount during motion.
If the amount exceeds the parameter set ”feed stop position deviation
FEED STOP amount”, pulse distribution and acceleration/deceleration control is
stopped for the while exceeding, and move command to the positioning
control circuit is stopped.
The overshoot at rapid feed acceleration is thus kept to a minimum.

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:
(1) Rapid traverse with the specified moving distance.
(2) Cutting feed per minute with a movement amount specified
(3) Skip per minute with a movement amount specified
(4) Dwelling
(5) Continuous feed
(6) Reference position return
(7) First reference position return
(8) Second reference position return
(9) Third reference position return
(10) Fourth reference position return
(11) Speed command
(12) Auxiliary function, auxiliary function 2, auxiliary function 3
(13) Machine coordinate system selection
(14) Torque control command
Four systems of input/output signals are available, which enable these
operations to be specified from the PMC. In other words, the PMC can
control more than one axis automatically and independently using these
commands. The correspondence between an I/O signal system and an
axis to be controlled with the I/O signal system must previously specified
using parameters. It is possible to assign a single I/O signal system to
more than one axis for simultaneous movement.
133
20.10 When enough torque for driving a large table cannot be produced by only
one motor, two motors can be used for movement along a single axis.
TANDEM CONTROL Positioning is performed by the main motor only. The sub motor is used
only to produce torque. With this tandem control function, the torque
produced can be doubled.
Main motor
Table
Ball screw
Sub motor
Example of operation
In general, the NC regards tandem control as being performed for one

axis. However, for servo parameter management and servo alarm
monitoring, tandem control is regarded as being performed for two axes.

20.11 G41.1 and G41.2 are used to control the rotation axis (C–axis) so that the
tool is kept vertical to the direction in which it advances during cutting

G42.1 Right–side normal–line direction control turned on

(The tool is kept vertical to the direction of travel at the right as
viewed when facing forward.)
The tool is kept vertical to the direction of travel in the X–Y plane. The
rotation angles of the C–axis are defined as viewed from the rotation
center. In the following figure, the positive X–axis is defined to be at 0
degrees. The rotation angles are incremented counterclockwise. So, the
positive Y–axis, the negative X–axis, and negative Y–axis are defined to
be at 90, 180, and 270 degrees, respectively. When transition occurs from
the cancel mode to the normal–line direction control mode, the C–axis
becomes vertical to the direction of travel at the beginning of a block
where G41.1 or G42.1 is issued.
As the direction of travel changes between blocks, C–axis movement
commands are inserted automatically so that the C–axis becomes vertical
to the direction of travel at the beginning of each block.

In the cutter compensation mode, normal–line direction control is

performed in reference to the path after it is compensated.
The speed of C–axis rotation inserted at the beginning of each block is
specified using a parameter except when dry run or rapid traverse (G00)
is effective, in which case C–axis rotation is set to the dry run speed or
rapid traverse speed, respectively.
If an arc command is issued, the C–axis is first made vertical to the
direction of travel at the arc start point before the arc command block is
started. Once the arc command block is started, the C–axis is kept vertical
to the direction of travel while the arc command is being executed.
NOTE
C–axis rotation around the normal–line direction control
center always takes the shortest way to the target point; the
rotation angle is always kept at or below 180 degrees.

195
29. SAFETY FUNCTIONS NC FUNCTION B–63122EN/01
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.
Use the emergency stop signal appropriately to design a safe machine
tool.
The emergency stop signal is intended to bring a machine tool to an
emergency stop. It is input to the CNC controller, servo amplifier, and
spindle amplifier. Usually, it is generated using the B contact of a
pushbutton switch.
If the emergency stop (*ESP) contact is closed, the CNC controller is
released from an emergency stop state, and the servo motor and spindle
motor are controllable and operable.
If the emergency stop (*ESP) contact is open, the CNC controller is reset
and put in an emergency stop state, and the servo motor and spindle motor
are decelerated until they come to a full stop.
Usually, a servo motor can be stopped by shutting off the power to it,
because shutting off the motor power causes a dynamic brake to be
applied. For vertical axes, however, servo motors with a brake should be
used, because servo motors with no brake on vertical axes could move
down by gravity.
Do not shut off the power to spindle motors abruptly, because doing so
could allow them to rotate by inertia, leading to a hazardous condition.
If the emergency stop signal (*ESP) contact becomes open, before
shutting off the power to the spindle motor, it is necessary to decelerate
it until it comes to a full stop and make sure that it is at a complete stop.
The above considerations have been incorporated in the design of the
FANUC Control Amplifier α Series. Supply an emergency stop signal
to the power supply module (hereafter called the PSM) of a Control
Amplifier α Series unit. The PSM outputs a motor power supply MCC
control signal. The signal can be used to turn on and off the motor power
to the power supply module.
Basically, this CNC is designed to use a software limit function to detect
overtravel. So, a limit switch is unnecessary to detect an ordinary
overtravel condition. To detect an overtravel condition beyond the
software limit (that would occur due to a failure in the servo feedback
loop), however, it is necessary to install a stroke end limit switch in order
to stop the machine.
The following diagram shows an example of connecting an emergency
stop signal between this CNC controller and an Series Controller
Amplifier.

NOTE
When connecting a spindle motor and amplifier produced
by a manufacturer other than FANUC, it is necessary to
incorporate a sequence to decelerate the spindle motor to
a full stop safely if the emergency stop signal contact
becomes open when the spindle motor is rotating. Refer to
the respective manuals of the spindle motor and amplifier
for details.

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.
199
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.
200
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.

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
210
B–63122EN/01 NC FUNCTION 31. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT
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 CNC 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 CNC 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 CNC operation by data sent from
outside the CNC (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 CNC is brought to an alarm
status; an alarm message is sent to the CNC, and the message is displayed
EXTERNAL ALARM on the screen of the CNC. Reset of alarm status is also done with external
MESSAGE 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.
211
31. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT NC FUNCTION B–63122EN/01
31.6 Message to the operator is given from outside the NC, and the message
is displayed on the 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 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, 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.

(EXTERNAL KEY INPUT CONTROL)
When the PMC inputs the code signal corresponding to a key on the MDI
panel to the CNC, the code signal can be input in the same way as with
actual operation of the key on the 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.
