CNC CONFIGURATION CONNECTORS AND 3
INTERFACE
1.3 CONNECTORS A1, A2
They are 15-pin SUB-D type female connectors used to connect feedback devices.
The feedback system must be metric. Which means that each feedback pulse must be
assigned a non-decimal distance value in microns. For example, when a 0.0001 inch/pulse
resolution is desired, its equivalent metric value of 2.54µm/pulse cannot be set. This
problem may be solved by using inch-pitch encoders (635 lines/rev., 1270 lines/rev. etc.)
or the feedback correcting factor described later on in this manual.

* Connector A1 is used for the X axis feedback signals.

* Connector A2 is used for the feedback signals from the Y axis or from the
electronic handwheel.

The type of cable used must have overall shield. The rest of its characteristics such as length
will depend on the type and model of the feedback device being used.

It is highly recommended to run these cables as far away as possible from the power cables
of the machine.

Attention:
The output signals of square-wave rotary encoders must be TTL compatible

When using a touch probe, pin 5 of connector A2 should be used as input for
the probe signal.

1.3.1 DIP-SWITCHES FOR CONNECTORS A1, A2
There are 2 dip-switches next to each feedback input connector (A1, A2) to set the CNC
according to the type of feedback signal being used in each case.

Dip-switch 1 indicates whether the feedback signal is sine-wave or square-wave and dip-
switch 2 indicates whether the feedback signal is differential (double-ended) or not (single-
ended).

The feedback signals that can be used at connectors A1 and A2 are:

* Sine-wave feedback signals (Ac, Bc, Io)

* Square-wave feedback signals (A, B, Io)
* Differential square-wave feedback signals ( A, A, B, B, Io, Io)

The chart below shows the dip-switch combinations for the particular type of feedback
signal used at each feedback input:

SUGGESTIONS FOR RS232C INTERFACE

* Connecting and disconnecting the peripheral device.

The DRO must be powered off when connecting or disconnecting

any peripheral device via connector X6 (RS232C interface connector).

* Cable length. The EIA RS232C standards specify that the capacity of the cable must
not exceed 2500pF, thus, since the cables usually have a capacity between 130 and 170
pF, their maximum length will be limited to 15 meters (50 feet).

For greater distances, it is recommended to insert "RS232C<-->RS422A" converters

(contact the pertinent distributor).

It is suggested to use shielded cables and/or twisted-pair wires in order to minimize

interference between cables thus avoiding faulty communications over lengthy cables.

It is recommended to use 7-conductor cables with a minimum section of 0.14 mm² and
overall shielding.

* Transmission speed (baudrate). The most common baudrate used between a

peripheral and this CNC is 9600 baud.

All unused wires should be grounded to avoid erroneous control and data signals.

* Ground connection. It is suggested to reference all control and data signals to the same
ground wire (pin 7 -GND-) thus avoiding reference points at different voltage levels
since there could be different voltages between both ends of long cables.

6 CNC CONFIGURATION RS232C CONNECTOR
RECOMMENDED RS232C INTERFACE CONNECTIONS

* Complete connection

* Simplified connection

To be used when the computer or peripheral device meets one of the following
requirements:

- It does not have the RTS signal.

- DNC is being used.
- The receiving unit can receive data at the selected baudrate.

However, it is recommended to consult the technical manuals of the computer or

peripheral device in case there are any discrepancies.

1.6.1 INPUTS OF CONNECTOR I/O 1
FEEDRATE OVERRIDE / JOG Pins 10 and 11

By means of these 2 inputs, it is possible to change the feedrate of the axes in JOG, Play-
back, Execution and Single-Block modes.

Depending on the type of axis, the CNC acts as follows:

Pin Servocontrolled axes Non-servocontrolled axes

10 11 (G01/G02/G03) (G00) Range
1 1 25% 25% Slow range
1 0 50% 50% Ignored
0 0 100% 100% Ignored
If "P101(8)=0" 200%
0 1 100% Slow range
If "P101(8)=1" 0%

Pin OFF = 0, ON = 1

When using the external operator panel "JOG 100", these inputs are treated differently
as described in its corresponding section later on in this chapter.

Attention:
When operating in open loop with servo drives, the feedrate override goes
into effect on the next movement and not on the current one.

RESET Pin 12

This input must be normally low (0V).

When set high, the CNC assumes the pre-established initial conditions. It acts as if the
[RESET] were pressed.

When machine parameter "P30" is set to a value other than "0", the CNC HOMES the
axes whenever a leading edge (transition from low to high) is detected at this input.

X AXIS HOME SWITCH Pin 13

This input must be high (24V) as long as the X axis home switch is pressed.

EMERGENCY STOP Pin 14

This input must be normally high (24V).

When set low, the CNC cancels the analog outputs for the axes, sets the brake signal
low to prevent the axes from moving, interrupts the execution of the part-program and
displays error 17 at the lower window. It does not activate the external Emergency
Output (pin 5 of this connector).

See connection diagram in the chapter on "Power and Machine interface" in this
manual.

Chapter: 1 Section: Page

CNC CONFIGURATION CONNECTOR I/O1 11
(inputs)
FEED HOLD Pin 15

This input must be normally high and its meaning depends on the type of block or
function being executed.

* If while moving the axes, this signal (FEED HOLD) is set low (0V), the CNC
maintains the spindle turning and stops the axes by bringing their analog voltages to
0V while maintaining the brake signals high (24V = brake off).

When this signal returns high, the CNC will resume the movement of the axes.

* When machine parameter "P22(5) = 1", the CNC waits for the electrical cabinet to
process the requested M function and set the FEED HOLD signal high.

See the section on "Transfer of auxiliary functions M, S, T" in the chapter on

"Concepts" later on in this manual.

CYCLE STOP Pin 16

This input must be normally high (24V).

When setting this input low, the CNC stops program execution. Its treatment is
identical to that of the key.

To resume program execution, this input must be set high again and, then, the
key must be pressed.

CYCLE START Pin 17

This input must be normally low (0V).

If a leading edge (low-to-high transition) is detected at this input while in Automatic or

Single-Block mode, the CNC behaves as if the key were pressed.

When inactive, this input must be connected to 0V through a 10KOhm resistor.

Page Chapter: 1 Section:

12 CNC CONFIGURATION CONNECTOR I/O1
(inputs)
BLOCK SKIP (CONDITIONAL) INPUT Pin 18

Every time the CNC executes the miscellaneous function M01 (conditional stop), it
analyzes the status of this input. If high (24V), the CNC will interrupt the execution of
the program.

By the same token, every time the CNC must execute a conditional block, it will analyze
the status of this input and it will execute the block if this input is high (24V) or skip it
if low (0V).

MANUAL INPUT (DRO Mode) Pin 19

If while in the JOG mode, this input is set high, the CNC will behave as a DRO.

However, although the CNC has "freed" the axes, the electrical cabinet must disable
the axes so they can be moved manually.

This output is set high (24V) whenever the CNC is either in JOG or Play-Back mode.

X AXIS BRAKE Pin 3

This output is set high (24V) to indicate that the axis may be moved (brake off). When
low (0V), the axis must be braked.

M Strobe Pin 4

This output is set high when the activated BCD outputs (pins 20 through 27) correspond
to an auxiliary "M" function.

EMERGENCY Pin 5

This output is normally high (24V).

This output is set low whenever an internal alarm or emergency occurs.

FAST (X) / JOG Pin 6

SLOW (X) / JOG Pin 7
DIRECTION (X) / JOG Pin 8

When operating in Open Loop without servo systems, these outputs indicate the
feedrate to be selected (fast or slow) as well as the moving direction for the X axis.

When using the external operator panel "JOG 100", these inputs are treated differently
as described in its corresponding section later on in this chapter.

IN POSITION (X) Pin 9

The CNC sets this output high (24V) to indicate that the X axis has reached its
programmed position.

There are several machine parameters to indicate the length of this signal, when to be
activated, etc. as described in the section on "Concepts" later on in this manual.

This information is BCD coded and the significance (weight) of each output is
expressed by the corresponding mnemonic.

Attention:
Power switch
This power switch must be mounted in such a way that it is easily accessed
and at a distance between 0.7 meters (27.5 inches) and 1.7 meters (5.5
ft) off the floor.
Install this unit in the proper place
It is recommended to install the CNC away from coolants, chemical
products, possible blows etc. which could damage it.

2.1 POWER INTERFACE

The rear of the CNC has a three-prong connector for AC and ground connection.

This connection must be done through an independent shielded 110VA transformer

with an AC output voltage between 100V and 240V +10% -15%.
The power outlet to connect the equipment must be near it and easily accessible.
In case of overload or overvoltage, it is recommended to wait for 3 minutes before
powering the unit back up in order to prevent any possible damage to the power supply.

POWER AND MACHINE INTERFACE POWER INTERFACE 1
2.2 MACHINE INTERFACE

2.2.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

All those elements of the machine capable of generating interference (relay coils, contactors,
motors, etc.) must be decoupled.

* D.C. Relay coils.

Diode type 1N4000.

* A.C. relay coils

RC connected as close as possible to the coils. Their approximate values should be:

R 220 Ohms/1W
C 0,2 µF/600V

* A.C. motors.

RC connected between phases with values:

R 300 Ohms/6W
C 0,47µF/600V

Ground connection.

It is imperative to carry out a proper ground connection in order to achieve:

* Protection of anybody against electrical shocks caused by a malfunction.

* Protection of the electronic equipment against interference generated by the proper

machine or by other electronic equipment near by which could cause erratic
equipment behaviour.

Therefore, it is crucial to install one or two ground points where the above mentioned
elements must be connected.

Use large section cables for this purpose in order to obtain low impedance and
efficiently avoid any interference. This way, all parts of the installation will have the
same voltage reference.

Even when a proper ground connection reduces the effects of electrical interference
(noise), the signal cables require additional protection.

This is generally achieved by using twisted-pair cables which are also covered with
anti-static shielding mesh-wire. This shield must be connected to a specific point
avoiding ground loops that could cause undesired effects. This connection is usually
done at one of the CNC's ground points.

Page Chapter: 2 Section:

2 POWER AND MACHINE INTERFACE MACHINEINTERFACE
 Each element of the whole system must be connected to ground via the established main
points. These points will be conveniently set close to the machine-tool and properly
connected to the general ground (of the building).

When a second point is necessary, it is recommended to join both points with a cable
whose section is not smaller than 8 mm² (or 2 cables of 4 mm²).

Verify that the impedance between the central point of each connector housing and the
main ground point is less than 1 Ohm.

2.2.2 DIGITAL OUTPUTS.
The CNC has several optocoupled digital outputs which may be used to activate relays,
deacons, etc.

These digital outputs, with galvanic isolation by optocouplers, can commutate D.C.
voltages supplied by the electrical cabinet of the machine.

The external D.C. power supply used to power the digital outputs must be regulated.

Nominal voltage: +24 Vdc Voltage range: +18 Vdc to +30 Vdc.

The electrical characteristics of the outputs are:

Output voltage Vcc.- 2V

Maximum output current 100 mA.

All outputs are protected by means of:

Galvanic isolation by optocouplers.

External 3A fuse for protection against output overload (greater than 125mA),
external power supply overvoltage (over 33V DC) and against reverse connection of
the external power supply.

2.2.3 DIGITAL INPUTS.

The digital inputs of the CNC are to used to "read" external devices.

All of them are galvanically isolated from the outside world by optocouplers.

The electrical characteristics of these inputs are:

Nominal voltage value +24 V DC

Maximum voltage value +30 V.
Minimum voltage value +18 V.
High threshold voltage (logic state 1) over +18V.
Low threshold voltage (logic state 0) under +5V.
Typical input consumption 5 mA.
Maximum consumption per input 7 mA.

All inputs are protected by means of:

Galvanic isolation by optocouplers.

Protection against reverse connection of the power supply up to -30V.

Attention:
The external 24V power supply used for the digital inputs and outputs must
be regulated.

The 0V point of this power supply must be connected to the main ground point
of the electrical cabinet.

2.2.4 ANALOG OUTPUTS.
The CNC has 3 analog outputs which could be used to command servo drives and the
spindle drive.

The electrical characteristics of these outputs are:

Analog voltage range: ±10V.

Minimum impedance of the connected drive: 10 KOhm.
Maximum cable length without shield: 75 mm.

It is highly recommended to use the shielded cable connecting the shield to the corresponding
pin of the connector.

Attention:
It is recommended to adjust the servo drives so their maximum feedrate (G00)
is obtained at ±9.5 V.

2.2.5 FEEDBACK INPUTS

The feedback inputs are used to receive sine-wave, single-ended and double-ended square-
wave signals coming from linear or rotary transducers (encoders).

Connector A1 is used for the X axis feedback signals and it accepts sine-wave and double-
ended (differential) square-wave signals.

Connector A2 is used for the feedback signals from the Y axis or from the handwheel and
it accepts sine-wave and double-ended (differential) square-wave signals.

The electrical characteristics of these inputs are:

Sine-wave signals Supply voltage ±5V. ±5%

Maximum counting frequency 50KHz.

Square-wave signals Supply voltage ±5V.±5%

Maximum counting frequency 200KHz.

It is recommended to use shielded cables for their connection connecting the shield to the
corresponding pin of the connector (at the CNC side).

FEEDBACK INPUTS
2.3 SET-UP
2.3.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Inspect the whole electrical cabinet verifying the ground connections BEFORE powering
it up.

This ground connection must be done at a single machine point (Main Ground Point) and
all other ground points must be connected to this point.

Verify that the 24V external power supply used for the digital inputs and outputs is
REGULATED and that its 0V are connected to the Main Ground Point.

Verify the connection of the feedback system cables to the CNC.

DO NOT connect or disconnect these cables to/from the CNC when the CNC is on.

Look for short-circuits in all connectors (inputs, outputs, axes, feedback, etc.) BEFORE
supplying power to them.

2.3.2 PRECAUTIONS
It is recommended to reduce the axis travel installing the limit switches closer to each other
or detaching the motor from the axis until they are under control.

Verify that there is no power going from the servo drives to the motors.

Verify that the connectors for the digital inputs and outputs are disconnected.

Verify that the feedback dip-switches for each axis are set according to the type of feedback
signal being used.

Verify that the E-STOP button is pressed.

Page Chapter: 2 Section:

6 POWER AND MACHINE INTERFACE SET UP
2.3.3 CONNECTION
Verify that the AC power is correct.

Being the CNC disconnected, power the electrical cabinet and verify that it responds
properly.

Verify that there is proper voltage between the pins corresponding to 0V and 24V of the
connectors for the digital inputs and outputs.

Apply 24V to each one of the terminals of the electrical cabinet being used that correspond
to the digital outputs of the CNC and verify their correct performance.

With the motors decoupled from the axes, verify that the system consisting of drive, motor
and tacho is operating properly.

Connect the AC power to the CNC.

After a self-test and depending on the setting of machine parameter "P35", the CNC will
get into either the automatic or the jog mode. If there is any problem, the CNC will display
the corresponding error message.

10 POWER AND MACHINE INTERFACE SET UP
2.4 EMERGENCY INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTION

The Emergency Input of the CNC is called EMERGENCY STOP (E-STOP) and
corresponds to pin 14 of connector I/O1. This input must normally have 24V DC.

The CNC processes this signal directly, therefore, whenever these 24V disappear, it will
issue Error 17), it will deactivate the axes enables and cancel the analog voltages for all the
axes and the spindle. It does NOT imply the emergency output (pin 5).

The electrical cabinet interface must take into account all the external elements that could
cause this error.

For example, some of these elements may be:

* The E-Stop button has been pressed.

* An axis travel limit switch has been pressed.

* An axis servo drive is not ready.

On the other hand, whenever a CNC detects an internal emergency error, it will activate the
EMERGENCY OUTPUT at pin 5 of connector I/O1.

Some of the internal causes which can activate this output are:

* An excessive axis following error (axis lag) has occurred.

* An axis feedback error has occurred.

* There is erroneous data on the machine parameter table.

The recommended connection is:

 3. MACHINE PARAMETERS

Attention:

All unused machine parameters must be set to "0" to guarantee the proper
functioning of this CNC

It is recommended to save the machine parameters of this CNC at a

peripheral device or computer in order to be able to recover them after their
accidental loss.

Please note that some of the machine parameters mentioned here are
described in greater detail in the chapter on "CONCEPTS" in this manual.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
On power-up, the CNC performs a system hardware test. When completed, depending on
the value set for machine parameter "P35", it gets either in automatic or in Jog mode. In case
of any error, it displays the corresponding error number.

The CNC must "know" the specific data for the machine such as feedrates, acceleration
ramps, feedback devices, etc.

This data is determined by the machine manufacturer and may be input via keyboard or via
the RS232C serial line by setting the machine parameters.

To enter the machine parameter values via keyboard, press the following keystroke
sequence:

[AUX MODE] [1]

The top display will show the machine parameter number (0) and the bottom one will show
its contents.

To display a particular parameter, use either one of these methods:

* Use the up and down arrow keys.

* Press [CL] twice to clear the current display, key in the desired parameter number and,
then, press [RECALL].

Chapter: 3 Section: Page

MACHINE PARAMETERS INTRODUCTION 1
3.2 OPERATION WITH PARAMETER TABLES

To EDIT a parameter, once selected, one must:

* Press [CL] to clear the bottom display.

Pressing [CL] again will clear the parameter number appearing on the top display.

* Press [A+] to access the data entry mode.

* Key in the desired value.

Depending on the type of machine parameter selected, it will take one of the following
types of values:

* A figure P12 = 30000

* A group of 8 bits P19 = 00001111

* Press [ENTER] to "enter" this value into the table.

If the CNC does not assume this new value and it shows the previous one, instead; it means
that the machine parameter table is locked.

To unlock it, press the following keystroke sequence:

[AUX MODE] [1] [CL] [CL] [9] [9] [9] [A+] [0] [ENTER]

To lock it, if so desired, press the following keystroke sequence:

[AUX MODE] [1] [CL] [CL] [9] [9] [9] [A+] [1] [ENTER]

Once the machine parameters have been set, the "RESET" key must be pressed or the
CNC must be powered down and back up in order for these new values to be assumed by
the CNC.

When describing the various parameters throughout this manual, every time a parameter bit
is referred to, the following nomenclature will be used:

P60 = 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
Bit 1
Bit 2
Bit 3
Bit 4
Bit 5
Bit 6
Bit 7
Bit 8

Thus, P60(4) will refer to bit 4 of machine parameter P60.

PARAMETER TABLES
3.3 GENERAL MACHINE PARAMETERS
P23(8) Measuring units (mm/inches)

It determines the measuring units assumed by the CNC for machine parameters, tool
tables and work units at power-up and after emergency or RESET.

0 = Millimeters
1 = Inches.

P23(1) Theoretical or real display

It determines whether the CNC will display the real axis position or their theoretical
position.

0 = It will display REAL position values.

1 = It will display THEORETICAL position values.

P63(4) X axis in radius or diameter

0 = Radius.
1 = Diameter.

P35 Operating mode active on power-up

It indicates whether the Automatic or the Jog mode will be selected by the CNC on
power-up.

Possible values: Integers between 0 and 65535

* If set to more than 899, the Jog mode will be selected.

* If set to 899 or less, the CNC will get in Automatic mode and the block number
indicated here will be selected.

For example, if P35=10, the CNC will get in Automatic mode block 10 will be
selected in such a way that if is pressed, the CNC will start executing the
program from this block on.

P60(5) Tool table or Zero Offset table

It indicates whether the CNC uses its internal table as a tool table or as Zero Offset table.

0 = Tool table.
1 = Zero Offset table.

The chapter on "The Aux mode of operation" of the operating manual describes the
way to access this table and use it.

Chapter: 3 Section: Page

MACHINE PARAMETERS GENERAL 3
P71 Program protected from a specific block on

It indicates the block number from which the program will be write-protected.

Possible values: Integers between 0 and 899

* A value of "0" means that it is not protected, therefore, the whole program may be
edited.

* If set to a value other than "0", for example P71=100, it means that block 100 and
all the following ones cannot be edited.

P101(1) This CNC uses an external operator panel "JOG 100"

0 = It does not use an external operator panel

1 = Yes, it does.

P100(8), P100(7) Function G92 as coordinate "setting" for X and Y

When executing a G92 as coordinate preset, the CNC stores the distance from the new
Part Zero to the Machine Reference Zero (home).

In certain applications such as cyclic rollers, when presetting many times, this distance
may be too great and exceed the storage capacity of the CNC.

On this type of applications, it is possible to use function G92 to "set" the coordinates
instead of "presetting" them without storing its distance from home.

Possible values:

0= G92 as coordinate preset (storing its distance from home)

1= G92 as coordinate setting (not storing its distance from home)

3.4 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR AXIS CONFIGURATION
The feedback inputs available in the CNC are as follows:

Connector A1. Used to connect the feedback input of axis X.

Takes a sinusoidal signal and differential square-wave signal, and the machine
parameter "P59(2)", section 4.1 has to be properly selected, as well as the two
microswitches located beside the feedback input.

Connector A2. Used to connect the feedback input of axis Y, of the electronic handwheel
or the spindle when there is rigid tapping, G33, but only for one of these devices.

Takes a sinusoidal signal and differential square-wave signal, and the machine
parameter "P59(3)", section 4.1 has to be properly selected, as well as the two
microswitches located beside the feedback input.

Connector I/O2, pins 17 and 25. Used to connect the feedback input of the auxiliary
handwheel.

The auxiliary handwheel must be used when the feedback inputs A1 and A2 are
occupied, either because the machine has 2 axes or because it has one axis and a spindle.

The possible configurations are:

P60(8) The Y axis is not connected to this CNC

0 = The Y axis is connected to this CNC.

1 = The Y axis is not connected to this CNC.

P60(4) An electronic handwheel is being used

0 = No electronic handwheel is being used

1 = An electronic handwheel is being used

When using an electronic handwheel, there can be no Y axis nor rigid tapping.
Consequently, machine parameter P60(8) must be set to "1" and P63(3) to "0."

Chapter: 3 Section: Page

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR AXIS CONFIGURATION 5
P102(8) The machine has an auxiliary handwheel

0 = The machine may not be used for auxiliary handwheel

1 = The machine may be used for auxiliary handwheel

The auxiliary handwheel must be used when feedback inputs A1 and A2 are occupied,
either because the machine has 2 axes or because it has one axis and a spindle.

When the machine has an auxiliary handwheel "P102(8)=1", "P60(4)=1" must be set
as well as connecting the handwheel feedback signals to pins 17 and 25 of connector
I/O2

Diagram for using the Fagor 100P/100E as an auxiliary handwheel.

P63(3) The machine may be used for rigid tapping

0 = The machine may not be used for rigid tapping.

1 = The machine may be used for rigid tapping.

When the machine uses rigid tapping it cannot use an electronic handwheel, meaning
that P60(8)=0 and P60(4)=0 must be set.

When using rigid tapping, the spindle feedback is connected to input A2 and the spindle
analog output is provided via pins 34 and 35 of connector I/O1.

It is also necessary to set parameter P77 with the number of pulses (lines/turn) of the
spindle encoder.

P77 Number of pulses (lines/turn) of the spindle encoder

This parameter must be set when controlling the spindle (as for rigid tapping, G33, etc).

It indicates the number of lines per turn of the rotary encoder of the spindle and it must
be given by an integer between 0 and 9999.

P61(8), P61(7) The X, Y axis is DRO axis

It indicates whether the CNC treats the corresponding axis as a normal axis or as a DRO
axis (to be moved manually).

0 = Normal CNC controlled axis.

1 = Manually moved DRO axis.

Page Chapter: 3 Section:

6 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR AXIS CONFIGURATION
P22(6), P62(6) X, Y axis linear or rotary ROLLOVER
It indicates whether the axis is linear or rotary. When rotary, its count is set to 0º when
reaching 360º (rollover).
0 = Linear.
1 = Rotary rollover.
Since a rotary rollover axis has no travel limits, their corresponding parameters (P0, P1
for X and P40, P41 for Y) must be set to "0". The home reference values (P2 for X and
P42 for Y) must be between 0 and 360. The axes must operate in Closed Loop
[P23(4)=1].
P21(1), P61(1) X, Y rotary axis positioning in the quickest direction
When rotary ["P22(6)=1 for X and P62(6)=1" for Y] those movements programmed
in G90 may be made either in the programmed direction or in the quickest direction (via
the shortest angular distance).
0 = It moves in the direction programmed with the sign.
1 = It always moves in the quickest direction not being possible to program negative
position values.
P21(2), P61(2) X, Y rotary HIRTH axis
It determines whether the rotary axis has HIRTH toothing or not.
0 = It does not have HIRTH toothing.
1 = It has HIRTH toothing.
A HIRTH axis must be rotary ["P22(6)=1, P62(6)=1"].
It can only take whole degree (non-decimal) movements between 0º and 360º although
the feedback resolution is given in thousandths of a degree
P23(6) Type of signal provided by the CNC to control the X and Y axes.
0 = Analog voltage output (for servo systems) ±10V DC.
Via pins 30, 31 (for X) and 32, 33 (for Y) of connector I/O1.
1 = Digital signals (24V DC) Fast, Slow and moving direction.
Via pins 6, 7, 8 of connector I/O1 for X and 3, 5, 8 of I/O2 for Y.
P23(4)Open or Closed Positioning Loops
0 = Open loop.
1 = Closed loop.
When using the Fast, Slow and direction signals, "P23(6)=1", this parameter must be
set to "0" (Open Loop).
P102(1) The axes are denominated Y, C
0 = The axes are denominated X, Y
1 = The axes are denominated Y, C
This only affects the display, meaning that internally they are still called X, Y.
For this reason, when accessing the CNC via DNC100, the axes will always be X, Y.

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR AXIS CONFIGURATION 7
3.5 I/O RELATED PARAMETERS
P22(7), P62(7) X, Y axis feedback alarm disabled.
This CNC will issue a feedback alarm on an axis when any of its corresponding
feedback signals is missing or is out of its permitted range.
This parameter indicates whether this feedback alarm is active or not for the particular
axis.
0 = The feedback alarm is not active.
1 = The feedback alarm is active.
When using only single ended feedback signals (non-differential: A, B, Io), the
corresponding parameter must be set to "1" (alarm not active).
P23(7) BCD coded M function output
It indicates whether the M function output via pins 20 through 27 of connector
I/O 1 will be decoded or BCD coded.
0 = Decoded M function output.
1 = BCD coded M function output.
The section on "Auxiliary functions" of the chapter on "Concepts" describes the CNC
operation for both cases.
P22(4) The decoded "M" function outputs are maintained
It indicates whether the CNC maintains the decoded M function outputs ON once sent
out or not (pulse).
0 = No, the M function outputs are not maintained. Only an ON/OFF pulse is sent
out.
1 =Yes, they are maintained once they sent out.
P61(5) A "T" function does not generate a BCD-coded output
It indicates whether when executing a T function, the CNC activates the corresponding
BCD outputs via pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O 1.
0 = Yes, it generates BCD-coded output.
1 = No, it does not generate BCD-coded output.

Attention:
When operating with maintained decoded "M" functions, it is better NOT to
generate BCD coded T functions [P61(5)=1] since this would cancel the M
function outputs.

P63(6)Touch probe pulse type

It indicates whether the touch probe supplies a positive pulse (low-to-high) or negative
pulse (high-to-low) into connector A2.
0 = Negative pulse (0V).
1 = Positive pulse (5V).

Page Chapter: 3 Section:

8 MACHINE PARAMETERS I/O RELATED
P22(5) "FEEDHOLD" input as a response to the "STROBE" signal

It indicates whether a down flank (trailing edge, high-to-low transition) of the

FEEDHOLD input (pin 15 of I/O1) is required as a response to an "M STROBE", "T
STROBE" or "S STROBE" signal in order for the CNC to resume the execution of
these functions.

"P22(5)=0" The trailing edge of the Feedhold signal is not required

The CNC will activate the BCD outputs corresponding to the "M", "S" or "T"
function for 200 milliseconds. Then, if the Feedhold signal is not high (24V), it will
wait for it to become high and consider the execution of the M, S, T function
concluded.

If the Feedhold signal stays high (never goes low), the BCD outputs for the auxiliary
functions will only be kept active for 200 milliseconds.

"P22(5)=1" The trailing edge of the Feedhold signal is required

50 milliseconds after activating the BCD outputs corresponding to the M, S or T

function, the CNC activates the corresponding "STROBE" output.

Next, if the Feedhold signal is high (24V), the CNC waits for it to go low (0V) and,
once Feedhold is low, it keeps the Strobe signal high for another 100 ms.

Once the Strobe signal is off, the BCD outputs for M, S or T remain active for another
50 milliseconds.

After these 50 ms, if the Feedhold signal is not high, the CNC will wait for it to
become high in order to consider the execution of the M, S, T function concluded.

P30 The RESET input activates the HOME function

With the HOME function, it is possible to make the CNC switch into Automatic mode,
regardless of its current operating mode, and start executing the program from the block
number indicated by this parameter (P30) whenever the RESET input is activated (pin
12 of connector I/O1).

If while executing a program, the RESET input is activated, the CNC interrupts the
program and goes on to executing from the block indicated by "P30".

If "P30" is allocated a value greater than 899, the CNC ignores the HOME function and
the RESET input behaves as such.

P21(8) HOME function only active during program execution

It indicates whether the HOME function is active in all operating modes or just during
program execution.

 4. MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES

Atention:
Please note that some of the machine parameters mentioned here are
described in greater detail in the chapters on "Power and machine interface"
and on "Concepts" in this manual.

P22(1), P62(1) Sign of the analog voltage for X, Y

They define the sign of the analog voltage. If correct, leave them as they are and
change them if otherwise.

P22(2), P62(2) Counting direction for X, Y

They define the counting direction for the axes. If correct, leave them as they are and
change them if otherwise.

Bear in mind that when modifying this parameter, the one corresponding to the sign
of the analog voltage must also be changed to prevent the axis from running away
"P22(1) for X and P62(1)" for Y.

P23(2), P63(2) Jogging direction for X, Y

They define the jogging direction for the axes (in JOG mode) when using the JOG
keys of the Operator Panel.

If correct, leave them as they are and change them if otherwise.

Chapter: 4 Section: Page

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES 1
4.1 PARAMETERS RELATED TO AXIS RESOLUTION
The section on "Axis resolution" of the chapter on "Concepts" in this manual
describes how to use the parameters mentioned here.

P9, P49 Feedback resolution for X, Y

They define, always in microns, the feedback resolution for each axis.

Possible values: 1 through 255 microns.

The feedback unit must be metric. Which means that each feedback pulse must be
assigned a non-decimal distance value in microns.

For example, when a 0.0001 inch/pulse resolution is desired, its equivalent metric
value of 2.54µm/pulse cannot be set.

This problem may be solved by using "inch-pitch" encoders such as 635 lines/rev.,
1270 lines/rev. etc. or the feedback correction factor described later on in this
manual.

P59(2), P59(3) Type of feedback signal for X, Y

They indicate whether the feedback signals used for each axis are square-wave or
sine-wave.

0 = Square-wave feedback signals

1 = Sine-wave feedback signals.

P21(6), P61(6) Multiplying factor for X, Y feedback pulses

They indicate whether the CNC applies a x2 or x4 multiplying factor to the feedback
pulses.

0 = A x4 multiplying factor is applied.

1 = A x2 multiplying factor is applied.

When using FAGOR linear transducers (scales) set these parameters to "0".

Page Chapter: 4 Section:

2 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO
AXIS RESOLUTION
4.1.1FEEDBACK CORRECTION FACTOR FOR THE AXES
With this CNC, it is possible to compensate the feedback error for each axis. This error
may occur, for instance, in the following cases:

* When using an inch-type feedback system (versus metric) where the values required
for axis resolution machine parameters P9 and P49 do not have an exact metric
equivalent.

* When using an odd pitch leadscrew forcing us to set P9 or P49 to an approximate value.

P29, P69 Feedback correction factor for X, Y

They define the measuring error, in MICRONS, incurred every 100 millimeters of
displayed distance.

Possible values: 0 through 49999 microns.

A value of "0" means that no feedback correction factor is to be applied.

P63(8), P63(7) Sign of the feedback correction factor for X, Y

0 (Positive) = When the actual travel exceeds the displayed distance.

1 (Negative) = When the displayed distance exceeds the actual travel.

Application examples for the X axis:

Distance displayed by the CNC Actual measured travel Error P29 P63(8)

0 to 100000 0 to 98542 -1458 1458 1

0 to 100000 0 to 100684 684 684 0

0 to 200000 0 to 200246 246 123 0

Application example for inch-type X axis feedback:

To obtain 0.0001 inch resolution (2.54 microns).

Since P9 must be set to an integer value (non-decimal), P9 may be set to the closest value
(P9=2) and P23(8) will be set momentarily to "0" to work in millimeters.

We move the axis until the unit displays a distance of 100,000 microns (100 mm) and
we observe that the actual travelled distance is 127,000 microns.

Displayed distance 100,000

Actual travel 127,000
Error 27,000 (positive)

Therefore, P29 = 27000 and P63(8) = 0

P23(8) may now be set back to "1" to work in inches (the displayed units, that is).

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO 3
AXIS RESOLUTION
 Application examples for when a direct reading of the actual movement is not possible

A paper feeder uses an 80mm diameter roller. There is an 1:15 gear ratio between the
motor and the roller.

Example a) The motor has a 1000 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 251.327 mm.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 1,000 = 15,000 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, P21(6)=0, The number of pulses
per roller turn will be 15,000 x 4 = 60,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

251,327 microns / 60,000 = 4.1888 microns.

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

will be set to "4". That is, 4 micron resolution incurring an error of 0.1888 microns
per pulse.

Displayed distance x feedback error 100,000 x 0.1888

= = 4720 microns
Resolution 4

Consequently, P29 = 4720 and P63(8) = 0 (positive)

Example b) The motor has a 1500 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 251.327 mm.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 1,500 = 225,000 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, P21(6)=0, The number of pulses
per roller turn will be 225,000 x 4 = 90,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

251,327 microns / 90,000 = 2.7925 microns.

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

will be set to "3". That is, 3 micron resolution incurring an error of -0.2075 microns
per pulse.

Displayed distance x feedback error 100,000 x (-0.2075)

= = -6917 microns
Resolution 4

Consequently, P29 = 6917 and P63(8) = 1 (negative)

4.2 PARAMETERS RELATED TO THE ANALOG OUTPUTS
P13, P53 Minimum analog voltage for X, Y

It is given by an integer between 1 and 255.

Where:

Value of 1 = 2.5 mV.

Value of 10 = 25.0 mV. (10 x 2.5)
Value of 255 = 637.5 mV. (255 x 2.5)

P28, P68 In-position zone (dead band) for X, Y

They define the area, in front of the programmed coordinate and behind it, where the
CNC considers the axis to be in position

Possible values: Between 1 and 65535 microns.

Between 1 and 25801 tenthousandths of an inch.

Chapter: 4 Section: Page

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO 5
THE ANALOG OUTPUTS
4.3 FEEDRATE RELATED PARAMETERS
P27, P67 Maximum permissible feedrate for X, Y

Possible values: Between 1 and 65535 mm./minute.

Between 1 and 25801 tenths-of-inch/minute.

P24, P64 Jogging feedrate in JOG and PLAY-BACK modes for X, Y

Possible values: Between 1 and 65535 mm./minute.

Between 1 and 25801 tenths-of-inch/minute.

These parameters cannot be set to greater values than those of P27, P67.

P12 Maximum time for uncontrolled axis.

This CNC issues error 16 (X axis out of control) or error 38 (Y axis out of control) in
the following instances:

* If during the time period indicated by this parameter, the axis feedrate is out of the
50-to-200% range of the theoretical feedrate.

* If during the time period indicated by this parameter, the axis moving direction
does not correspond to the sign of the analog output.

* If during the time period indicated by this parameter and while the brake signal is
on, the axis drifts more than 16 times the in-position zone (P28, P68).

This machine parameter (P12) must be set to an integer value between 0 and 255.

Where:
Value of 0 = The feedrate is not monitored
Value of 1 = 12 msec.
Value of 10 = 120 msec.
Value of 255 = 3060 msec.

Page Chapter: 4 Section:

6 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES FEEDRATE RELATED
 P20(8) Feedrate up to 655 meters/minute or 25800 inches/minute

By setting this parameter to "1", the axis feedrates will always be ten times their
programmed values.

It must be used when the axis feedrates exceed 65m/min. or 2580 inches/min.

P20(8)=0 Axis feedrates as programmed and their limits as set by machine parameters
P27, P67, P24, P64.

P20(8)=1 Axis feedrates ten times the programmed values.

The actual feedrate limits applied will be ten times the values set by P27,
P67, P24, P64,

For example, if P27 = 10000 mm/min. The actual limit = 100000 mm/
min.

Therefore, the actual maximum permissible feedrate will be:

655 meters/minute or 25800 inches/minute.

P18 Feedrates lower than 1 mm/minute or 0.1 inch/minute

With this parameter, the actual axis feedrates may be made to be "n" times lower than
their programmed values.

This parameter is to be used on extremely slow axes.

P18=0 Axis feedrates as programmed and their limits as set by machine parameters
P27, P67, P24, P64.

P18>0 The actual axis feedrates will be the results of dividing the selected feedrate
by the "n" factor set in this parameter.

For example, if P18=50 and programmed F = 10 mm/min., the actual

feedrate will be 0.2 mm/min.

Atention:
The value for P18 cannot exceed 256/P9 (feedback resolution for X) or
256/P49 (feedback resolution for Y).

With functions G61 and G62 it is possible to change the setting of P18 by
program.

G61 Ignore P18. The actual feedrate is the one programmed.

G62 Assume P18. The actual feedrate is affected by the setting of
P18.

On power-up, after an M30, Emergency or Reset, the CNC assumes G62.

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES FEEDRATE RELATED 7
4.4 PARAMETERS RELATED TO THE POSITIONING LOOP
The section on "axis positioning loop control" of the chapter on "Concepts" in this
manual describes how to use the parameters indicated here.

With this CNC, it is possible to control the axes either in Closed Loop, in Open Loop with
Servosystems or in Open Loop without Servosystems.

Closed Positioning Loop.

Closed Positioning Loop means that the CNC controls the actual axis position and
feedrate at all times.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=1 (Closed loop) and P23(6)=0 for the CNC to
output an analog voltage for the servo motors.

The parameters related to proportional gain and acc./dec. must also be set.

Non-servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop

When a motor does not have a servo drive, it is referred to as non-servocontrolled.

Therefore, Non-servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop means that the CNC only
controls the position of the axis while carrying out the programmed movement. Once
the programmed end point is reached, the CNC no longer controls the axis.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=0 (Open loop) and P23(6)=" for the CNC to output
the "Fast", "Slow" and "moving direction" indicating signals.

The parameters determining the braking distance for each axis must also be set.

Servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop

When positioning, the CNC outputs an analog voltage proportional to the programmed
F and it will be up to the servo drive to control the actual axis speed.

For example, if the maximum feedrate (set by parameter) is F10000 and F5000 is
programmed, the CNC will output 5V.

When the axis enters the brake zone, the CNC switches to Closed Loop taking over
the control of the axis from the servo drive until the target point is reached.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=0 (Open loop), P23(6)=0 (analog output and
servo-motor).

The parameters defining the braking distance (for the approach stage) as well as those
related to proportional gain, for the final positioning stage, must also be set.

Page Chapter: 4 Section:

8 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO
POSITIONING LOOP
4.4.1 CLOSED LOOP
To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=1 (Closed Loop), P23(6)=0 (analog output for the
servo motor).

P10, P50 Proportional gain K1 for X, Y

They set the analog output corresponding to 1 micron of following error (axis lag).

It is given by an integer between 0 and 255 where a value of 64 corresponds to an

analog voltage of 2.5mV
2.5mV.
Analog Output (mV) = K1 x Following error (microns) x
64
P26, P66 Gain break point for X, Y

They define the following error value from where the proportional gain K2 takes over
and K1 is no longer applied.

It is recommended to set these parameters to a slightly higher value the one

corresponding to the maximum machining feedrate F0.

Possible values: 1 through 65535 microns

1 through 25801 tenthousandths of an inch.

P11, P51 Proportional Gain K2 for X, Y

They set the analog output corresponding to 1 micron of following error (axis lag) to
be applied beyond the gain break point.

It is given by an integer between 0 and 255 where a value of 64 corresponds to an

analog voltage of 2.5mV

Analog (mV) = (K1 x Ep) + [K2 x (Following error - Ep)]

Where Ep is the value of the gain break point.

It is recommended to set these parameters to a value between 50% and 70% of K1 in

order to prevent jerky transitions between K1 and K2 or between machining feedrates
and rapid positioning (G00).

P60(6), P60(7) The values of K1 and K2 for X, Y are in mv/ pulse

They indicate whether the values of K1 and K2 are in mV/micron or mV/pulse.

0 = In mV/micron.
1 = In mV/pulse.

MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO 9
POSITIONING LOOP
4.4.1.1 PARAMETERS RELATED TO ACCELERATION/
DECELERATION
When operating in Closed Loop (P23(4)=1 and P23(6)=0), it is possible to control the
acceleration and deceleration of the axes by means of the following parameters.

P16, P17 Acceleration time for X, Y

P91, P92 Deceleration time for X, Y

In order to avoid abrupt start-ups and brakes of the machine, it is possible to define
some acceleration and deceleration ramps.

Parameters P16 and P17 determine the time each axis takes to reach the feedrate set
by machine parameters P27, P67 (acceleration stage).

Parameters P91 and P92 determine the time each axis takes to stop (deceleration
stage).

It is given by an integer between 0 and 255.

Value of 0 = No ACC./DEC ramp is applied.

Value of 1 = 0.024 seconds
Value of 10 = 0.240 seconds. (10 x 0.024)
Value of 255 = 6.120 seconds. (255 x 0.024)

When "P91=0", the acc./dec. ramp for the X axis is determined by "P16", and
when "P92=0", the acc./dec. ramp for the Y axis is determined by "P17".

This type of acc./dec. is mainly applied on movements carried out in G00 or F00
although they may also be used on G01 movements. This type of acc./dec. is not
applied on circular interpolations (G02, G03).

When moving in vectored G00 or in a linear interpolation G01 at F0, the CNC will
apply, to the resulting path, the greatest one of the acc./dec. times set for the involved
axes.

Page Chapter: 4 Section:

10 MACHINE PARAMETERS FOR THE AXES RELATED TO
POSITIONING LOOP
P63(1) Acceleration/deceleration on all G01 movements

It determines whether the CNC applies the acc./dec. ramps set by P16, P17, P91, P92
only when programming F0 in a G01 move or for any F values (besides G00 moves).

0 = For G01 moves at F0.

1 = For all G01 moves (at any F).

P100(2) No acc./dec. ramp when operating in G05 (round corner)

It indicates whether acc./dec. ramps are applied on G05 transitions between blocks or
not.

0 = Acc./dec. ramps applied in G05

1 = No acc./dec. ramps applied in G05

P75, P76 FEED-FORWARD gain for X, Y

This type of gain, which is proportional to the feedrate, is applied onto all rapid
positioning moves (G00) and linear interpolations (G01) at F0.

It helps improve the positioning loop by minimizing the amount of following error
(axis lag). It must be used when using acc./dec.

These parameters determine the percentage of the analog output based on the
programmed feedrate.
It is given by an integer value between 0 and 255.

The value which will be added to the following error is (Kf x F/40), where F is the
programmed feedrate and Kf is the value of this parameter P75 or P76.

The CNC will apply the proportional gain (K1 and K2) to the value resulting from the
addition of the following error plus the value selected by means of the Feed-forward
gain.

When the value resulting from the addition is smaller than the value assigned to the
gain-break point, the CNC will apply the following formula:

Analog (mV) = K1 x [Following Error + (Kf x F/40)]

And when the value resulting from the addition is greater than the value assigned to
the gain-break point:

Analog (mV) = (K1 x Ep) + {K2 x [Following Error + (Kf x F/40) - Ep]}

Where “Ep” is the gain-break point value assigned to the corresponding parameter.

4.4.2 OPEN LOOP
On this CNC, "Open Loop" means that the CNC monitors the position of the axis until it
reaches the target point. Once in position, the CNC no longer controls the axis. "P23(4)"
must be set "0".

When the motor is servo-controlled, the CNC must provide an analog output, P23(6)=0,
and when the motor is not servo-controlled, the CNC must provide the FAST, SLOW and
MOVING DIRECTION signals, P23(6)=1.

P3, P43 Braking distance for X, Y (Open Loop)

Possible values: Between 1 and 99,999.999 mm or 84,546.6 inches

It must be greater than the in-position zone: P28, P68.

When using analog output, P23(6)=0

It indicates the distance required by the axis to reach its maximum feedrate, P27
and P67, as well as the braking distance from this maximum feedrate.

When the braking distance is greater than half the programmed distance, the block
will be executed in closed loop.

When using the discreet signals: Fast, Slow and Moving direction, P23(6)=1

It only affects the braking stage and it indicates how far ahead of the programmed
target point will the slow feed be applied.

P34, P74 T4. Duration of the In-position signal for X, Y

It indicates, in milliseconds, the length of time the in-position signal of the axis stays on.
Possible values: 0 through 65535 milliseconds.

Whenever an axis is to be moved, the CNC acts as follows:

1.- Sets the corresponding axis brake signal high (pin 3 of I/O1 for X, pin 7 of I/O2 for Y).
2.- Applies the delay T1 set by P31.
3.- Outputs the analog voltage via pins 30, 31, 32, 33 of I/O1 to move the axes.
4.- When the axis enters the in-position zone, "P28, P68", the CNC---
5.- Applies the delay T2 set by P32 for X, P72 for Y.
6.- Sets the corresponding brake signal low, pin 3 of I/O1 or pin 7 of I/O2.
7.- Applies the delay T3 set by P33 for X, P73 for Y
8.- Sets the corresponding In-position signal high, pin 9 of I/O1 for X, of I/O2 for Y.
This signal stays ON for the time period T4 set by P34 for X, P74 for Y.

The value assigned to P36 must correspond to the lowest range and that of P39 to the
highest range. When not using all the ranges, set P36 to the lowest range and the unused
ones to the highest speed value.

Whenever a spindle speed is programmed which involves a range change, the CNC will
automatically output its corresponding M code (M41, M42, M43, M44).

when blocks S P20 or S P21 are executed.
In both cases block S100 is executed.

P59(4) = 1 It is the main node (NODE 0).

P56 Node number occupied by the CNC in the LAN

When the CNC is the main node, this parameter indicates how many more nodes are
interconnected in the LAN and when the CNC is not the main node, it indicates the node
number it occupies in the LAN.

Examples:

A Fagor LAN consists of 2 PLC64 (nodes 0 and 1) and a Fagor102 CNC (node 2).

5.4 PARAMETERS RELATED TO DOUBLE FEEDBACK
"Double feedback" means that there are two feedback devices for a single axis.
Therefore, the CNC must use the Y axis as a DRO axis: P60(8)=0 and P61(7)=1.

Feedback connector A1 is used to measure the actual movement of the material (material
encoder) and feedback connector A2 to connect the monitoring encoder of the feeding
motor (motor encoder).

P100(6) Double Feedback is used

0 = No Double Feedback is used.

1 = Double Feedback is used.

When using this Double Feedback feature and during set-up or sheetmetal coil
replacement, it may be interesting to have the CNC assume feedback input A2 as its
own (which is normally used to monitor the sheetmetal slippage).

Use input E5 (pin 17 of I/O2) to switch between A1 and A2.

E5 = 0V The CNC uses A1 to close its feedback loop and A2 to monitor

sheetmetal slippage.
E5 = 24V The CNC uses A2 to close its feedback loop and does not
monitor sheetmetal slippage.

This input must be low (0V) for normal operation and high (24V) during set-up, coil
replacement, etc.

P110 Maximum slippage allowed when using "Double Feedback"

When using 2 feedbacks, it is possible to continuously control the amount of sheetmetal

being fed.

When these two are not the same, it indicates that the sheetmetal is either loose or tight.

With this parameter, it is possible to set the maximum permissible difference (slippage)
between the two measurements and it is expressed in microns.

When the actual difference exceeds this parameter (P110) value, the CNC will issue the
corresponding error message.

If P110=0, The CNC does not monitor the slippage.

When input E5=24V, the CNC does not monitor the slippage either.

Attention:
In order to be able to monitor double feedback, P21(6) and P61(6), multiplying
factor for the axis feedback pulses, must be set to the same value.

5.5 PARAMETERS RELATED TO FUNCTION G34
Function G34 allows axis X to be indefinitely synchronized with an external device.

When you wish to use this feature the following conditions must be satisfied:

- The machine cannot use a Y axis, and feedback connector A2 is used as feedback
input for the external device.
- The external device must have an encoder and the machine parameter "P77" must
be set with the number of pulses of said encoder.

Furthermore, in order to be able to automatically offset the variations arising in material

through temperature dilation, roller tension, etc., the following requisites must be satisfied:

- The material must have reading marks in the cutting zones.

- An optical reader must be used to read these marks.
- The signal provided by this reader must be compatible with the Io signal provided
by the Fagor feedback devices.
- Connect the signal provided by the optical reader to the signal provided by the
optical reader terminal 6 of connector A2 and properly set machine parameter
"P63(6)".

P100(4) Function G34 is available

0 = G34 feature is not available

1 = G34 feature is available

P100(3) The optical reader is available for compensating material variations

0 = An optical reader is not available

1 = An optical reader is available

P81 Maximum permitted deviation

Should be used when working with function G34 and having an optical reader
available.

The optical reader measures the distance between two consecutive marks on the
material and the CNC compares this distance with the pass fixed in function G34.

Machine parameter P81 fixes the maximum permitted deviation.

Possible values: From 1 through 65535 microns

From 1 through 25801 tenthousandths of an inch

After comparing the distance measured with the pass fixed in function G34, the CNC
does the following:

If the difference is over 100 microns and under the value assigned to parameter P81, the
CNC automatically offsets the value fixed in function G34 X????.

If the difference is greater than the value assigned to parameter P81, the CNC displays
error 53.

If parameter "P81=0" has been set, the CNC does nothing.

8 OTHER MACHINE PARAMETERS RELATED TO
FUNCTION G34
5.6 PARAMETERS RELATED TO FUNCTION G75
Function G75 allows you to program positioning movements which will end after the CNC
receives the signal from the measuring probe used.

Machine parameter P63(3) indicates if the measuring probe works normally high (positive
pulse) or low (negative pulse). See section 3.5 of this manual.

The machine will move until it receives the external signal from the probe, and at this time
the CNC will take the block as finished, assuming the real position the axes are in at that
moment as the theoretical position of the axes.

When the probing movement is done at high speeds the stop may turn out to be rather
brusque, making the axis draw back to remain in position.

Machine parameter P82 allows this effect to be minimized as it can occasionally be

undesirable.

This parameter tells the CNC the distance the axis should move after the probe signal
reaches it, thus making it stop smoothly.

P82 The distance the axis covers after receiving the signal from the probe.

Should be used when operating with the function G75.

Possible values: From 1 through 65535 microns

From 1 through 25801 tenthousandths of an inch.

Functions G47, G48 as feedback inhibit.

In certain applications, after the part moves, its position has to be compensated by means
of an external device which is not controlled by the CNC.

If function G47 is executed the CNC does not take into account the possible movements
caused by said device, that is, the feedback pulses are inhibited.

Functions G47, G48 as opening for the axis loop.

In certain applications such as presses, folders, pipe metal formers etc., the part
undergoes a movement or pull during its machining process.

When the position loop is closed, in normal working mode, the CNC controls the axis
feedrate at all times.

When the position loop is open the axis operates in DRO mode, meaning that the CNC
does not control the feedrate of the axes but takes into account their movements.

Function G60 can be used in two different ways.

Function G60 as zero offset loading.

Machine parameter "P60(5)=1" must be set.

The CNC uses its internal table as zero offset table and assigns address in 10 of this table
to function G60.

The programming format is G60 X Y. Values X and Y indicate at what distance from
home the new part zero is required to be located.

Function G60 as punch dimension loading.

This is specially designed for punching machines. Machine parameter "P101(7)=1"

must be set.

The CNC takes into account the dimensions of the punch during program execution,
preventing its extreme values from exceeding the travel limits fixed by machine
parameter.

The programming format is G60 X Y. Values X and Y indicate half of the punch
dimensions according to axes X and Y.

When the punch is round values X and Y coincide with the punch radius.

Note: If machine parameters "P60(5)=1" and "P101(7)=1" are set, function G60 acts as
loading the punch dimensions.

P60(5)Tool table or zero offset table

0 = The internal CNC table is used as tool table.

1 = The internal CNC table is used as zero offset table.

Connector A1.

Used to connect the feedback device of the X axis.

It takes non-differential (single-ended) sine-wave signals and differential (double-

ended) square-wave signal. Machine parameter "P59(2)" and the two dip-switches
next to this connector must be set accordingly.

6.1.1 COUNTING FREQUENCY LIMITATION
Sine-wave signals

The maximum counting frequency for sine-wave feedback signals is 50KHz (50,000
pulses/sec.)

The maximum feedrate for each axis will depend upon the selected resolution
(machine parameters "P9, P49") and the period (pitch) of the feedback signal being
used.

Example:

When using a linear scale with a 20 µm pitch, the maximum feedrate for the axis
will be:

20 µm/pulse x 50,000 pulses/sec. = 1m/sec. = 60 m/min. (2362 inches/min.)

Square-wave signals

The maximum counting frequency for differential square-wave signals is 200KHz

(200,000 pulses/sec.), with a 450nsec. separation between A and B flanks (that is 90º
±20º phase shift).

The maximum feedrate for each linear axis will depend upon the selected resolution
(machine parameters "P9, P49") and the period (pitch) of the feedback signal being
used.

When using FAGOR linear scales, the maximum feedrate is limited by its own
characteristics to 60 m/min. (2362 inches/min.).

When using FAGOR rotary encoders, the limitation is set by the maximum number of
pulses delivered by the encoder, which is 200KHz.

6,000,000 pulses/min.
Maximum encoder rpm =
Number of pulses/turn (encoder line count)

6.2 AXIS RESOLUTION
The CNC has a series of machine parameters to set the resolution of each axis.

The resolution used on each axis indicates the minimum variation distinguishable by the
feedback device. It is given in microns or 0.0001 inch units.

The machine parameters used to define the axis resolution are the following:

P9, P49 They set the counting (feedback) resolution for each axis.

P59(2), P59(3) They set the type of feedback signal being used (square-wave or sine-
wave) for each axis.

P21(6), P61(6) They indicate the multiplying factor, x2 or x4, to be applied to the
feedback signals of each axis.

P29, P69 They indicate the feedback correction factor being applied on each axis.

P63(8), P63(7) They indicate the sign of the feedback correction factor being applied
on each axis.

inch). See section on "Special Parameters" of the chapter on "Axis

Example 2: Resolution in "mm" with encoder and gear reduction

A paper feeder uses an 80mm diameter roller. There is an 1:15 gear ration between the
motor and the roller.

Example a) The motor has a 1000 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 251.327 mm.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 1,000 = 15,000 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, (P21(6)=0, The number of

pulses per roller turn will be 15,000 x 4 = 60,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

251,327 microns / 60,000 = 4.1888 microns.

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

will be set to "4". That is, 4 micron resolution incurring an error of 0.1888 microns
per pulse.

Displayed distance x feedback error 100,000 x 0.1888

Example b) The motor has a 1500 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 251.327 mm.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 1,500 = 225,000 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, (P21(6)=0, The number of

pulses per roller turn will be 225,000 x 4 = 90,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

251,327 microns / 90,000 = 2.7925 microns.

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

will be set to "3". That is, 3 micron resolution incurring an error of -0.2075 microns

CONCEPTS AXIS RESOLUTION 5
Example 3: Resolution in "mm" with square-wave linear scale

Considering that the CNC applies either a x2 or x4 multiplying factor (set by machine
parameter), a linear scale must be chosen whose pitch is 2 or 4 times the desired
resolution.

When using FAGOR linear transducers (scales) with 20 µm pitch, the following
resolutions may be obtained: 5µm (20/4), 10µm (20/2).

Therefore:

Resolution P9 P59(2) P21(6) P29 P63(8) P23(8)

5 µm 5 0 0 0 0 0

10 µm 10 0 1 0 0 0

Since the counting frequency of the CNC is limited to 200 KHz for square-wave
signals, the maximum feedrate obtainable with a 20µm-pitch scale is:

Max. feed = 20 µm/pulse x 200,000 pulses/sec. = 4000 mm/seg. = 240 m/min.

However, if FAGOR linear scales are used, the maximum feedrate is limited (by
the scales) to 60m/min (2362 inches/min.).

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

6 CONCEPTS AXIS RESOLUTION
Example 4: Resolution in "mm" with sine-wave linear scale

The CNC internally applies a x5 factor to sine-wave feedback signals plus another x2
or x4 (set by machine parameter).

With a 20µm-pitch FAGOR linear scale, it is possible to obtain 1µm and 2µm
resolutions.

Therefore :

Resolution P9 P59(2) P21(6) P29 P63(8) P23(8)

1 µm 1 1 0 0 0 0

2 µm 2 1 1 0 0 0

The counting frequency is limited to 50KHz for sine-wave signals. Therefore, the
maximum feedrate will be:

Max. feed = 20 µm/pulse x 50,000 pulses/sec. = 1000 mm/sec. = 60 m/min.

When using FAGOR linear scales, the feedrate is limited by their characteristics
to 60m/min. (2362 inches/min.).

CONCEPTS AXIS RESOLUTION 7
 Example 5: Resolution in "inches" with square-wave encoder

We would like to obtain a 0.0001 inch resolution with a square-wave encoder

mounted on to the X axis which has a 5-pitch leadscrew (5 turns per inch or
0.2 inch/turn).

Using "feedback correction factor":

The feedback resolution, parameter P9, must be set in millimeters. The metric
equivalent for 0.0001 inch is 0.00254 mm; thus, we set P9 to "2" (since it must be
an integer value) and we use the feedback correction factor, P29 and P63(8), as
follows:

Displayed Distance 100,000 microns

Actual axis travel 73,000 microns
Error 27,000 microns (negative)

Therefore: P29=27000, P63(8)=1

Since the CNC applies a x2 or x4 multiplying factor, the required encoder will be:
Leadscrew pitch
Number of pulses =
Multiplying Factor x Resolution
For a x4 factor:
0.2 inch/turn
Number of pulses = = 500 pulses/turn

2 x 0.0001 inch/pulse

P9=2 P59(2)=0 P21(6)=1 P29=27000 P63(8)=1

When using FAGOR encoders, the counting frequency is limited to 100 KHz
(although the CNC admits up to 200 KHz for square-wave signals). Consequently,
the maximum axis feedrate will be:

200,000 pulses/sec
Max. feed. = x 0.2 inches/turn

For a x4 factor: 4800 inches/min. For a x2 factor: 2400 inches/min.

A paper feeder uses an 3 inch diameter roller. There is an 1:15 gear ratio between the

Example a) The motor has a 1000 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 9.4248 inches.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 1,000 = 15,000 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, (P21(6)=0, The number of

pulses per roller turn will be 15,000 x 4 = 60,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

9.4248 inches / 60,000 = 0.00015708 inch = 3.9898 microns

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

will be set to "4". That is, 4 micron resolution incurring an error of -0.0102 microns

Example b) The motor has a 1250 line square-wave encoder.

For every turn of the roller, the paper moves 9.4248 inches.

The motor must make 15 turns for every turn of the roller. Therefore, the motor
encoder will output 15 x 12500 = 18750 pulses.

If the CNC applies a x4 multiplier to these pulses, (P21(6)=0, The number of

pulses per roller turn will be 18,750 x 4 = 75,000 pulses.

Therefore, the linear paper feeding distance per encoder pulse is:

9.4248 inches / 75,000 = 0.0001256663 inch = 3.1918 microns

Since machine parameter P9 must be set to an integer value (without decimals), it

Example 7: Resolution in "degrees" with sine-wave encoder

We want to obtain a 0.005º resolution with a sine-wave encoder mounted onto the X

The CNC always applies a x5 multiplying factor to the sine-wave feedback pulses.

Plus, the CNC may apply an additional multiplying factor of either x2 or x4,
depending on the setting of machine parameter P21(6). The resulting encoder line
count will be:

Thousandths of a degree/ turn

Number of pulses =

Number of pulses = = 3600 pulses/turn.

If a FAGOR rotary encoder is chosen, its pulse output frequency is limited to

200KHz. The CNC limits sine-wave pulse frequency to 50 KHz). Therefore, the
maximum feedrate for this axis will be:

50,000 pulses/sec.
Max. Speed =

Consequently, the maximum turning speed will be:

10 CONCEPTS AXIS RESOLUTION
6.3 ADJUSTMENT OF THE AXES
In order to make this adjustment it is necessary to have the feedback systems for all the
axes connected to the CNC.

Before starting the adjustment of the axes, it is a good idea to move them close to the
middle of their travels placing the travel-limit switches (controlled by the electrical
cabinet) close to these points in order to avoid any damage to the machine.

After the machine parameters for the axes have been properly set, proceed with their
adjustment by following these suggestions:

* The axes should be adjusted one at a time.

* Connect the power output of the drive corresponding to the axis being adjusted.

* In the JOG mode, move the axis being adjusted.

In case of run-away, the CNC will display the relevant following error and the
machine parameter corresponding to the SIGN OF THE ANALOG VOLTAGE
will have to be changed. Machine parameters P22(1), P62(1).

* If the axis does not run away; but the direction of the move is not the desired one, the
machine parameter corresponding to the COUNTING DIRECTION [P22(2),
P62(2)] will have to be changed as well as that corresponding to the SIGN OF THE
ANALOG VOLTAGE [P22(1), P62(1)].

* If the counting direction is correct but the axis moves in the opposite direction to the
one indicated, change the axis machine parameter corresponding to the moving
direction [P23(2), P63(2)].

Attention:
It may be useful to set parameter P12 with a value other than "0" while
adjusting the axes.

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS ADJUSTMENT OF THE 11
AXES
6.3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE DRIFT (OFFSET) AND MAXIMUM
FEEDRATE (G00)
These adjustments are performed on axis servo drives and spindle drives.

Drift adjustment (offset)

This adjustment will be made in two stages:

Pre-adjustment of the drive offset

* Disconnect the analog voltage input of the drive and short-circuit it with a wire
jumper.

* Turn the offset potentiometer of the drive until the displayed axis position stops

* Remove the wire jumper mentioned above.

Fine adjustment of the drive offset

* Move the axis continuously back and forth either in JOG mode or by running a
program.

While the axis is moving, turn the offset potentiometer of the drive until the
amounts of following error obtained in both directions are the same.

Adjustment of the maximum feedrate

It is recommended to adjust the drives so the maximum feedrate is obtained with an

analog voltage of 9.5V.

Also, the maximum feedrate must be indicated in the corresponding machine

parameter for that axis. Parameter P27, P67

The maximum feedrate can be calculated from the motor rpm, the gear ratios and the
type of leadscrew being used.

Example for the X axis:

A motor can turn at 3000 rpm and it is attached to a 5-pitch leadscrew

(1/5 inch/turn). Therefore, the maximum feedrate to be assigned to machine
parameter P27 is:

Maximum feedrate (G00) = r.p.m. x leadscrew pitch

P27 = 3000 rev./min. x 1/5 inch/rev. = 600 inches/min.

Move the axis continuously back and forth either in JOG mode or by running a
program.

While the axis is moving, measure the analog voltage coming out of the CNC
towards the servo drive and adjust the gain potentiometer at the servo drive (never
at the CNC) until this analog voltage reaches 9.5V.

12 CONCEPTS ADJUSTMENT OF THE
AXES
6.4 CONTROL OF THE AXIS POSITIONING LOOP

With this CNC, it is possible to control the axes either in Closed Loop, in Open Loop with
Servo-systems or in Open Loop without Servo-systems.

Closed Positioning Loop.

Closed Positioning Loop means that the CNC controls the actual axis position and
feedrate at all times.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=1 (Closed loop) and P23(6)=0 for the CNC to
output an analog voltage for the servo motors.

The parameters related to proportional gain and acc./dec. must also be set.

Non-servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop

When a motor does not have a servo drive, it is referred to as non-servocontrolled.

Therefore, Non-servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop means that the CNC only
controls the position of the axis while carrying out the programmed movement. Once
the programmed end point is reached, the CNC no longer controls the axis.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=0 (Open loop) and P23(6)=" for the CNC to
output the "Fast", "Slow" and "moving direction" indicating signals.

The parameters determining the braking distance for each axis must also be set.

Servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop

When positioning, the CNC outputs an analog voltage proportional to the programmed
F and it will be up to the servo drive to control the actual axis speed.

For example, if the maximum feedrate (set by parameter) is F10000 and F5000 is
programmed, the CNC will output 5V.

When the axis enters the brake zone, the CNC switches to Closed Loop taking over
the control of the axis from the servo drive until the target point is reached.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=0 (Open loop), P23(6)=0 (analog output and
servo-motor).

The parameters defining the braking distance (for the approach stage) as well as those
related to proportional gain and acc./dec. (for the final positioning stage) must also be
set.

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS 13
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.1 CLOSED POSITIONING LOOP
Closed Positioning Loop is referred to when the CNC controls, at all times, the feedrate of
the axes.

P23(4) must be set to "1" (Closed Loop), and P23(6)=0 for analog voltage output and the
motor must be servocontrolled.

It is necessary to properly adjust the different gains for each axis in order to optimize the
response of the whole system to the programmed movements.

It is recommended to use an oscilloscope in order to obtain a finer adjustment of the axes

by monitoring the signals provided by the tacho. The diagram on the left corresponds to
the ideal signal shape and the other ones to an unstable start-up and brake-down.

The CNC has a series of machine parameters which permit adjusting the proportional gain
for each axis. These parameters are:

PROPORTIONAL GAIN K1.

Defined by parameters: P10, P50.

PROPORTIONAL GAIN K2.

Defined by parameters: P11, P51.

Value of the GAIN BREAK POINT

Defined by parameters: P26, P66.

FEED-FORWARD GAIN or gain proportional to the feedrate.

Defined by parameters: P75, P76

The parameters corresponding to the proportional gain K1 and K2 as well as for the gain
break point allow adjusting the Proportional Gain for the axis.

The parameter for the Feed-Forward gain (proportional to feedrate) will be used when
acceleration/deceleration control is being applied onto the corresponding axis.

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

14 CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.1.1 PROPORTIONAL GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The analog voltage supplied by the CNC to control the axis is, at all times, a function of
the amount of following error; that is, the difference between the theoretical position and
the real (actual) position of the axis.

Analog output = Proportional gain “K” x Following Error

On start-up and slow-down, the following error of the axis is very small. Therefore, the
proportional gain must be great in order for the axis to respond properly.

On the other hand, once the axis reaches its programmed speed, the following error is
maintained practically constant and it is necessary to apply a smaller gain (K) in order to
keep the system stable.

This CNC offers two proportional gains K1 and K2 to better adjust the system as well as
another parameter referred to as Gain Break point which defines the active area for each
one of these gains.

The CNC applies the proportional gain K1 whenever the amount of following error for
the axis is smaller than the value assigned to the machine parameter corresponding to the
gain break-point.

When the amount of following error exceeds the gain break-point value, the CNC applies
the K2 value.

Analog = (K1 x Ep) + [K2 x (Following Error - Ep)]

Where “Ep” is the value assigned to the gain break-point and it is given in microns.

When adjusting the proportional gain, it must be borne in mind that:

* The amount of following error will decrease as the gain value increases, but the
system will tend to be more unstable.

* In practice, most machines seem to respond well to what is called a unity gain (or
gain of 1) which represents a following error of 1mm at a feedrate or 1m/minute or a
following error of 0.001 inch at a feedrate of 1 inch/min.

Therefore, this could be used as a practical starting point for the gain calculation
described next. After analyzing the behavior of the machine for this gain, its value
may be changed in order to optimize it.

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS 15
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.1.2 CALCULATION OF K1, K2 AND GAIN BREAK-POINT
The value of K1 represents the analog voltage corresponding to 1 micron of following
error. It is given by an integer between 0 and 255 in such a way that a value of 64
corresponds to an analog voltage of 2.5mV.

Therefore, the K1 value corresponding to a gain of 1 and a maximum motor speed

adjusted to 9.5V servo analog input would be given by the following formulae:

243.2
In metric (FE= 1mm for F=1m/min): K1 =
Fmax in m/min (P27 for X)

9575
In inches (FE= 0.001inch for F=1inch/min): K1 =
Fmax in inch/min (P27 for X)

For example:

If the top feedrate for an axis is 500 inches/min (P27 for X), the K1 corresponding to
a unity gain would be: K1 = 9575/500 = 19.15 and the value assigned to the
corresponding parameter would be K1=19.

If the top feedrate for an axis is 20m/min, the K1 corresponding to a unity gain would
be: K1 = 243.2/20 = 12.16 and the value assigned to the corresponding parameter
would be K1=12.

The amount of following error corresponding to the GAIN BREAK-POINT is given in

microns or 0.0001 inch units (by parameter P26 for the X axis, P215 for the Y axis, etc.).
It is recommended to set it to a value slightly greater than the following error corresponding
to the maximum machining feedrate F0 (P27, P67).

For example:

Let’s suppose that K1 has been set for a gain of 1 (not K1=1) and that the maximum
machining feedrate is 150 inches/min (P27, P67). At this feedrate, the following error
should be about 0.150 inch. Thus, the gain break-point value should be slightly larger
than 0.150 inch; for example: P26=0.155 inch.

Or in metric:

Let’s suppose that K1 has been set for a gain of 1 (not K1=1) and that the maximum
machining feedrate is 5 m/min (P27, P67). At this feedrate, the following error should
be about 5 mm. Thus, the gain break-point value should be slightly larger than 5 mm;
for example: P26=6 mm.

The machine parameter K2 gain sets the analog voltage for 1 micron of following error
being applied from the gain break-point on.

It is also given by an integer between 0 and 255 and it is typically set to a value between
50% and 70% of K1 in order to avoid abrupt analog voltage changes when switching to
slow machining feedrates.

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

16 CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS
POSITIONING LOOP
To perform a practical axis adjustment at the machine, it is recommended:

1.- Adjust K1 optimizing the axis' response like the signal diagram shown earlier.

Set K1 =K2 or set the gain break-point to a large value (for example: 50000) and run
a program moving the axis continuously back and forth.

Adjust the value of K1 until the proper response is obtained.

2.- Set the gain-break point to the correct value.

To do this, run the previous program and watch the amount of following error reached
at maximum feedrate

Assign that value or one slightly larger to the gain break-point.

3.- Once K1 and the gain break-point have been set, change the value of K2 to one
between 50% and 70% of K1.

Attention:
Once each axis has been adjusted separately. All interpolating axes should be
fine adjusted together in such a way that their following errors for the same
feedrate are the same in order to achieve proper interpolations between those
axes in the K1 area.

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS 17
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.1.3 FEED-FORWARD GAIN ADJUSTMENT
With the Feed-Forward gain it is possible to improve the positioning loop of the axes, thus
minimizing the amount of following error. This gain must be used only when operating
with acc/dec.

The Feed-Forward gain is proportional to the feedrate and is set by machine parameters
P75 for the X axis and P76 for the Y axis. They indicate the % of analog voltage that is
due to the programmed feedrate.

The value added to the following error is (Kf x F/40) where Kf is the value of Feed-
Forward and F is the programmed feedrate.

The CNC will apply the proportional gain (K1 and K2) to the value resulting from adding
the following error of the machine plus the value selected by the Feed-Forward.

When the result of the addition is smaller than the value of the gain break-point, the CNC
will apply the formula:

Analog = K1 x [Following Error + (Kf x F/40)]

And when the result of the addition is greater than the value of the gain break-point, the
CNC will apply the formula:

Analog = (K1 x Ep) + {K2 x [Following Error + (Kf x F/40) - Ep]}

Where “Ep” is the value of the gain break-point.

POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.1.4 CLOSED LOOP WITH BRAKE
When pressing the CYCLE START key or activating the START input in order to carry
out the programmed movement, the CNC acts as follows:

1.- Sets the Brake output high for the

electrical cabinet to deactivate the
brake.

2.- Because the brake is not deacti-

vated instantaneously, machine
parameter P31 may be set to estab-
lish the "T1" delay before supplying
the corresponding analog voltage.

3.- Once the "T1" delay is elapsed,

the CNC outputs the correspond-
ing analog voltage.

4.- The CNC provides an analog volt-

age according to the programmed
distance, and established gains and
acceleration ramps.

5.- In order to give the axis time to

reach position before activating the
brake, it is possible to set a "T2"
delay by means of machine
parameter P32 for the X axis and
P72 for the Y axis.

This parameter indicates the delay from the time the axis enters the in-position zone (at
a P28 distance from target point) to the time when the brake output is set low.

6.- After the Brake output is set low, the CNC waits a "T3" period, indicated by machine
parameter P33 for X and P73 for Y, before activating the In-Position output for the
axis.

This In-Position output is kept high for a "T4" time period determined by machine
parameter P34 for X and P74 for Y.

CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS 19
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.2 NON-SERVOCONTROLLED OPEN POSITIONING LOOP
When the motor does not use a servo drive, it is referred to as non-servocontrolled.

On a Non-servocontrolled Open Positioning Loop, the CNC controls the axis position
only while carrying out the programmed movement. Once in position, the CNC no longer
controls it.

P23(4) must be set "0" (Open Loop) and P23(6)=1 for the CNC to output discrete (non-
analog) signals for "Fast", "Slow" and "Moving Direction".

The parameters establishing the braking distance for each axis must also be set.

The CNC outputs the "Fast" signal from the beginning of the move until entering the
Brake zone where it outputs the "Slow" signal. Once in the In-Position zone (at a "P28"
distance from the end point), the CNC activates the brake signal and abandons the control
of the axis.

When pressing the CYCLE

START key or the START input
is activated for the programmed
movement to be carried out, the
CNC behaves as follows:

1.- Sets the Brake output high

for the electrical cabinet to
deactivate the axis Brake.

2.- Because the brake is not de-

activated instantaneously, it
is possible to set the "T1"
delay by means of machine
parameter P31 before acti-
vating the "Fast" signal.

3.- Once "T1" has elapsed, the

CNC activates the "Fast"
output so the axis can start
its movement.

4.- This "Fast" output is kept

high until the axis gets to a
P3 or P43 distance from the
end point. It then outputs the
"Slow" signal.

5.- When the axis enters the In-

Position zone (at a P28
distance from the end point),
the CNC deactivates the
"Slow" output.

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

20 CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS

6.- In order to give the axis time to reach position before activating the brake, it is possible
to set the "T2" delay, by means of machine parameter P32 for X and P72 for Y.

This parameter indicates the delay from when the "Slow" signal is deactivated to the
when the brake signal is set low.

7.- After setting the Brake signal low, the CNC waits a "T3" period indicated by machine
parameter P33 for X and P73 for Y before activating the In-Position signal for the
axis.

This In-Position output is kept high for a "T4" time period determined by machine
parameter P34 for X and P74 for Y.

CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS 21
POSITIONING LOOP
6.4.3 SERVO CONTROLLED OPEN POSITIONING LOOP
When positioning, the CNC outputs an analog voltage proportional to the programmed F
and it will be up to the servo drive to control the actual axis speed.
For example, if the maximum feedrate (set by parameter) is F10000 and F5000 is
programmed, the CNC will output 5V.

When the axis enters the brake zone, the CNC switches to Closed Loop taking over the
control of the axis from the servo drive until the target point is reached.

To operate in this mode, set P23(4)=0 (Open loop), P23(6)=0 (analog output and servo-
motor).

The parameters defining the braking distance (for the approach stage) as well as those
related to proportional gain and acc./dec. (for the final positioning stage) must also be set.

When pressing the CYCLE START key or activating the START input for the programmed
movement to be carried out, the CNC acts as follows:

1.- Sets the Brake output high for the electrical cabinet to release the brake of the axis

2.- It applies the "T1" delay set by machine parameter P31 before supplying the
corresponding analog output.

3.- Once "T1" has elapsed, the CNC

outputs, in A-B section, an analog
voltage proportional to the
programmed F and it is up to the
servo drive to control the actual
speed of the motor. For example,
if the maximum feedrate (set by
parameter) is F10000 and F5000
is programmed, the CNC will
output 5V.

4.- When the axis enters the brake

zone, at a P3 or P43 distance from
the target point, the CNC applies
the closed loop taking over the
control of the axis until it reaches
position.

5.- In order to give the axis time to

get in-position before activating
the brake, it is possible to set a
"T2" delay by means of machine
parameter P32 for X and P72 for
Y.

This parameter indicates the time elapsed from when the axis enters the in-position
zone (at a P28 distance from the end point) to when the Brake output is set low (brake
on).

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

22 CONCEPTS CONTROL OF AXIS
POSITIONING LOOP
 6.- Once the brake output is set low, the CNC waits for "T3" period indicated by
machine parameter P33 for X and P73 for Y, before turning on the In-Position output
for the axis.

This In-Position output is kept high for a "T4" period of time specified by machine
parameter P34 for X and P74 for Y.

Attention:
While operating in "Servo-controlled Open Positioning Loop", any variation
at the Feedrate Override inputs (pins 10 and 11 of connector I/O1) will affect
the next move and not the current one.

6.5 REFERENCE SYSTEMS

6.5.1 REFERENCE POINTS

A CNC machine must have the following reference points established:

* Machine Reference Zero or origin point of the machine. It is set by the machine
manufacturer as the origin of the coordinate system of the machine.

* Part Zero or origin point for the part. It is the origin point set to program the
measurements of the part. It can be chosen freely by the programmer and its reference
to the machine reference zero is set by means of a zero offset.

* Machine Reference Point. It is the physical location of the marker pulse or reference
pulse (Io) used as home to synchronize the whole machine coordinate system. The
axis moves to this point when being “homed” and the CNC assumes the reference
values set at machine parameter “P2, P42” accordingly.

M Machine Reference Zero

W Part Zero
R Machine Reference Point
XMW, YMW Part Zero coordinates
XMR, YMR Machine Reference Point coordinates

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

24 CONCEPTS REFERENCE SYSTEMS
6.5.2 MACHINE REFERENCE SEARCH (HOME)
With this CNC it is possible to search home in JOG mode or by program. Although it is
possible to program the home search for both axes in one block, the actual home search is
done on one axis at a time as follows:

The CNC starts moving the selected or programmed axis in the direction set by
machine parameter P62(4) for X, P62(5) for Y at the feedrate set by machine
parameter P25 for X, P65 for Y until the home switch is pressed P22(8) for X and
P62(8) for Y.

Once the home switch is pressed, the CNC will continue moving the axis at a feedrate
of 100 mm/min (3.9 inches/min) until the reference pulse (marker, Io) of the feedback
device is found.

If the home search is performed in the JOG mode, the selected zero offset is cancelled
and the CNC displays the coordinate values set by machine parameters P2 and P42.

In the other cases, it will maintain the current part zero. Therefore, the displayed
coordinates are referred to this part zero

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS REFERENCE SYSTEMS 25
6.5.3 ADJUSTMENT OF THE MACHINE REFERENCE POINT
(HOME)
The Machine Reference pint must be adjusted one axis at a time and it is recommended to
follow this procedure:

* Set parameters P23(5) and P63(5) indicating the type of marker pulse used by the
feedback device when searching home.

* Also, set parameters P62(4) and P62(5) to indicate the direction the axes must move
when searching home.

* Besides, set parameters P25 and P65 to indicate the home switch approaching
feedrate.

* Assign a value of "0" to the machine reference point. Parameters P2 and P42.

* Jog the axis to the proper area for home search and execute the home search
command. When done, it will assign a value of zero to that point.

* Move the axis to the physical location where machine zero point will be (or to a
position whose distance to machine zero is known), write down the position value
displayed by the CNC at that point.

The value to be assigned to parameter P2 or P42 (home coordinate) will be:

Machine coordinate of the measured point - CNC value at that point.

Example for the X axis:

If the point of known dimensions is 230mm from the machine zero and the CNC
shows "-123.5mm", the value to be assigned to "P2" will be:
“P2” = 230 - (-123.5) = 353.5 mm.

* Assign this new value to the machine parameter and press [RESET] or power the
CNC down and back up in order for the CNC to assume this new value.

* Perform a new home search in order for the CNC to assume the correct reference
values.

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

26 CONCEPTS REFERENCE SYSTEMS
6.5.4 SOFTWARE TRAVEL LIMITS FOR THE AXES
Once the home search has been carried out on all the axes, the soft limits for the CNC
have to be established.

This is achieved one axis at a time and in the following manner:

* Jog the axis in the positive direction to a point close to the travel limit switch keeping
a safety distance from it.

* Assign the position value displayed by the CNC to the machine parameter
corresponding to the positive software travel limit. Parameters P0 and P40

* Repeat those steps in the negative direction assigning the displayed value to machine
parameter corresponding to the negative software travel limit. Parameters P1 and
P41

* Once this process is completed, press RESET or turn the CNC off and back on in
order for the new values to be assumed by the CNC.

6.5.5 CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE MACHINE REFERENCE POINT

* If at the instant the home search is initiated, the home switch is pressed, the axis will
withdraw [in the opposite direction to that set by P62(4), P62(5)] until releasing the
home switch before starting the actual home search.

* If the axis is out of the soft travel limits (set by P0-P1, P40-P41), it has to be jogged
into the work area (within limits) and, then, positioned at the correct side from home
before starting the actual home search.

* Care must be taken when placing the home switch and when setting the home
searching feedrates (P25, P65) to prevent any overshooting.

* If the selected axis does not have a home switch [P22(8), P62(8)], the CNC will
consider it to be pressed and it will only make the marker pulse searching move at 100
mm/min. until the marker pulse (Io) from the feedback device is detected; thus
completing the home search.

* FAGOR linear transducers (scales) have a negative marker pulse (Io) every 50 mm
["P23(5), P63(5)" = 0] and FAGOR rotary encoders output a positive marker pulse
(Io) ["P23(5), P63(5)" = 1] per revolution.

6.6 AUXILIARY "M" FUNCTION
With this CNC it is possible to use up to 100 auxiliary "M" functions, M00 through M99.
All of them may be programmed except M41, M42, M43 and M44 which are generated
automatically by the CNC.

A program block may contain up to 4 "M" functions and they will be executed sequentially
in the order they have been programmed.

Every time an "M" function is executed, the CNC sends out to the electrical cabinet, via
pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O1, the number of the "M" function being executed
either in BCD code or decoded depending on the setting of parameter P23(7).

Meaning
Pin BCD Coded Decoded P23(7)=0
P23(7)=1 Activates Deactivates

20 MST 80 M9 M19

21 MST 40 M8 M18

22 MST 20 M7 M17

23 MST 10 M6 M16

24 MST 08 M5 M15

25 MST 04 M4 M14

26 MST 02 M3 M13

27 MST 01 M2 M12

When operating with BCD-coded outputs, P23(7)=1, each output indicates its BCD
weight. For example, MST80 carries a weight of 80, MST20 one of 20, etc.

Example: When executing function M35, The CNC outputs show the following:

MST80 MST40 MST20 MST10 MST08 MST04 MST02 MST01

0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1

When operating with decoded outputs, P23(7)=0, functions M2 through M9 must be

executed to activate each one of these outputs.

If P22(4)=0, these decoded outputs are kept active for 100 milliseconds; but if P22(4)=1
the decoded outputs are kept active until deactivated by the corresponding "M" function.

Example: The execution of an "M3" sets pin 26 high.

This output remains high for 100 milliseconds if P22(4)=0, or until M13 is
executed if P22(4)=1.

Page Chapter: 6 Section:

28 CONCEPTS AUXILIARY "M" FUNCTION
6.7 SPINDLE
Depending on the setting of machine parameters "P101(6)", "P60(2)" and "P60(3)", the
CNC provides one of the following spindle speed outputs:

* Single pole analog output (0 to +10V) via pins 34 and 35 of connector I/O1.
* Bipolar analog output signal (±10V) via pins 34 and 35 of connector I/O1.
* 4-digit BCD-coded logic output via pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O1.
* 2-digit BCD-coded logic output via pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O1.

Analog voltage output

When you want the CNC to give a bipolar analog output "P60(2)=0" and "P101(6)=0"
must be set.

The CNC will generate a positive output (0 a +10V.) when "spindle clockwise
(M3)" is selected and a negative output (0 to -10V.) when "spindle counterclockwise
(M4)" is selected.

When you want the CNC to give a single pole analog output "P60(2)=0" and
"P101(6)=1" must be set.

The CNC will generate a positive output (0 to +10V.) for both turning directions.

If a spindle speed is selected the CNC generates the single or bipolar analog signal,
corresponding to the programmed turning speed (S).

Whenever a new spindle speed is selected which involves a range change, the CNC will
automatically generate the M function associated with the new spindle speed range:
“M41, M42, M43, M44”.

4-digit BCD-coded output.

At the beginning of the execution of the programmed block, the CNC will output the
value corresponding to the programmed S speed in two stages with a 100 millisecond
delay between them.

It also activates the "S Strobe" output at each stage and waits for the "Feedhold"
signal coming from the electrical cabinet at each one of these two stages.

The first stage outputs the values corresponding to the Thousands and Hundreds and
the second stage outputs the values corresponding to the Tens and Units. The I/O1
connector pins corresponding to each of them are:

Example: S1234
Pin 1st stage 2nd stage Pin 1st stage 2nd stage
20 20 0 0
21 21 0 0

27 27 0 0

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS SPINDLE 29
2-digit BCD-coded output

To use 2-digit BCD coded spindle speed output, set "P60(2)=1" and P60(3)=0".

The CNC will output the BCD code corresponding to the programmed S speed at
pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O1 and activates the "S Strobe" output to indicate to
the electrical cabinet to process the required auxiliary function.

These outputs are activated at the beginning of the execution of the programmed
block and the CNC waits for the electrical cabinet to activate the Feedhold signal and
consider the execution of the required function concluded.

The table below shows the BCD codes corresponding to the programmed "S" values.

30 CONCEPTS SPINDLE
6.7.1 SPINDLE SPEED RANGE CHANGE
With this CNC, the machine can have a gear box in order to adapt the speeds and torques
of the spindle motor to the various machining requirements.

Up to 4 spindle ranges may be set by means of machine parameters P36, P37, P38 and
P39 specifying the maximum spindle rpm value for each one of them.

The value assigned to P36 must correspond to the lowest range (RANGE 1) and the one
assigned to P39 to the highest range (RANGE 4).

When not using all 4 ranges, start the speed assignment from the lowest range up and set
the unused ranges to the highest speed being used.

When the new spindle speed selected requires a range change, the CNC will execute the
auxiliary M function corresponding to the new range.

The CNC uses the auxiliary functions: M41, M42, M43 and M44 to indicate to the
electrical cabinet which range must be selected: RANGE 1, RANGE 2, RANGE 3 or
RANGE 4).

6.8 TOOLS
When working with tools, set "P60(5)=0"

If "P61(5)=0", whenever a block containing a T function is executed, the CNC outputs

the BCD code corresponding to that tool via pins 20 through 27 of connector I/O1.

When working with tools, the CNC also applies tool length compensation along both
axes.

To do this, the CNC uses its internal table as tool offset table.

Each one of the 10 addresses (1 through 10) of the table corresponds to the same tool table
and it has two fields.

The X field indicates the tool length along the X axis and the Y field indicates the tool
length along the Y axis.

The chapter on "Aux mode of operation" of the operating manual describes how to access
and operate with this table.

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS SPINDLE / TOOL 31
6.9 M, S, T FUNCTION TRANSFER
Every time a block is executed, the CNC sends to the electrical cabinet the information
about the M, S, T functions activated in it.

It first sends out the information about the M function, then about the S function and
finally about the T function.

This transmission takes place at the beginning of the execution of the block.

Depending on the value assigned to machine parameter "P22(5)" the CNC will either wait
or not for the FEEDHOLD signal to be activated in order to consider the execution of the
auxiliary function completed.

M function:

When executing a programmed M function or whenever the selected S involves a

spindle range change, the CNC will activate the corresponding BCD outputs (pins 20
through 27 of I/O1) and the M" Strobe" output to "tell" the electrical cabinet to
execute it.

Depending on the setting of P23(7), the output value at pins 20 through 27 of I/O1
will be BCD-coded or decoded.

When executing more than one M function, the CNC will send them one by one in the
programmed order as they are executed.

When the outputs are not maintained, "P22(4)=0", the CNC uses the Feedhold signal
to transfer the "M" function as described later on.

S function:

When programming an S value while using BCD outputs (pins 20 through 27 of I/

O1), "P60(2)=1", the CNC activates the pertinent ones and issues an "S Strobe"
signal to "tell" the electrical cabinet to execute it.

T function:

If "P61(5)=0", the CNC will use the BCD outputs (pins 20 through 27 of I/O1) to
indicate the T function programmed in the block and it will issue a "T Strobe" to "tell"
the electrical cabinet to execute it.

32 CONCEPTS M, S, T FUNCTION
TRANSFER
6.9.1 M, S, T FUNCTION TRANSFER USING THE FEEDHOLD
SIGNAL
When parameter P22(5) is set to “0”, the CNC maintains the BCD outputs and the
corresponding Strobe signal (M, S, T) active for 100 milliseconds.

When the electrical cabinet has a device requiring the BCD signals to be active for a
longer time, machine parameter P22(5) must be set to “1”.

In each case, the CNC acts as follows:

“P22(5)=0”

1.- The CNC transfers the BCD value of the selected function via pins 20 to 27 of
connector I/O1.

50 milliseconds later, the “M Strobe” output is activated to “tell” the electrical cabinet
to execute the M function.

2.- When the electrical cabinet detects the activation of the “M Strobe” signal, it must start
the execution of the corresponding function.

3.- The CNC will maintain the “M Strobe” signal for 100 milliseconds and the BCD
signals for another 50 milliseconds.

After this time period, it will wait for the FEEDHOLD signal provided by the
electrical cabinet indicating to the CNC that the execution of the “M” function is
completed.

If the FEEDHOLD signal was not deactivated in point 2, the CNC will consider the
M transfer completed after the BCD signals disappear (there is no wait).

Chapter: 6 Section: Page

CONCEPTS M, S, T FUNCTION 33
TRANSFER
 “P22(5)=1”

This type of transfer is used when the electrical cabinet has a device which requires
the BCD outputs from the CNC to be active for a longer period of time.

1.- The CNC sends the BCD value of the selected function via pins 20 to 27 of
connector I/O 1.

50 milliseconds later, it activates the corresponding Strobe output to “tell” the

electrical cabinet to execute the required auxiliary function.

2.- When the electrical cabinet detects the activation of one of the Strobe signals, it
must begin the execution of the corresponding function deactivating the
FEEDHOLD signal to let the CNC know that this M function execution has
begun.

3.- The CNC will maintain the Strobe signal for another 100 milliseconds and the
BCD outputs for another 150 milliseconds.

After this time period, it will wait for the electrical cabinet to reactivate the
FEEDHOLD input “telling” the CNC that the processing of the required function
has concluded.

 7. FAGOR LOCAL AREA NETWORK

7.1 INTRODUCTION
The FAGOR Local Area Network (LAN) is a Token-Passing-Bus type communication
network that allows the interconnection of up to 15 elements (nodes).

The different elements that may be interconnected via the FAGOR LAN are:

CNC 82, 101S, 102, 102S

CNC 800 T, 800 M
CNC 8025 GP
CNC 8025 M, MG or MS (with or without integrated PLC)
CNC 8025 T, TG or TS (with or without integrated PLC)
CNC 8025 P, PG or PS (with or without integrated PLC)
PLC64

Each element occupies a NODE of the network and all of them have a number of machine
parameters to configure the network.

The numbering of the nodes must begin by "0" and it must be sequential. Node "0" is the
Main Node and the element connected to it sets or determines the total number of nodes
being installed in the LAN.

This LAN utilizes the ROTARY MASTER system; that is, the different nodes temporarily
assume the master function so they can communicate directly with each other.

Chapter: 7 Section: Page

FAGOR LAN INTRODUCTION 1
7.2 LAN INTERFACE
The various elements must be interconnected via an RS485 serial line.

The RS485 connector for each element is a SUB-D type 9-pin female connector with the
following pin-out:

PIN SIGNAL FUNCTION

1 --- Not connected
2 --- Not connected
3 TxD Transmit Data
4 --- Not connected
5 --- Not connected
6 --- Not connected
7 --- Not connected
8 TxD Transmit Data
9 --- Not connected

The nodes must be connected via a "TWINAXIAL" cable which must also meet the
following requirements:

SPECIFICATIONS
Type: 02 AWG twisted 7x28
Conductor Material: Copper (only one stained wire)
Resistance: Max 11 L per every 305m. (1000 ft)
Insulator Material: Teflon

Outside diameter Nominal 7mm. (0.257inches)
Capacitance Maximum 53,1 pF/m (16.2 pF/ft)
Impedance 107± 5% Ohm at 1 MHz.

Attention: Do not manipulate the connectors with the unit connected to main AC
power
Before manipulating these connectors, make sure that the unit is not
connected to main AC power.

For better immunity of the RS485 serial line against conducted electromagnetic
disturbances, it is recommended to solder the cable mesh to the metal hood
of the connector.

Page Chapter: 7 Section:

2 FAGOR LAN INTERFACE
To interconnect the nodes follow these considerations:

* The shield must be connected only to one of the LAN nodes using pin 1 of the
corresponding connector.

* A 120-Ohm-1/4w terminating resistor must be connected between pins 3 and 8 of the

nodes most distant from each other.

* When the FAGOR LAN consists of more than 2 nodes, "TEE TWINAXIAL"
connectors must be used as indicated below.

It must be borne in mind that the maximum cable length allowed between a "T
Twinaxial" connector and the element is 80cm (31.49 inches).

Chapter: 7 Section: Page

FAGOR LAN INTERFACE 3
Before connecting or disconnecting the FAGOR LAN connectors, ALL its elements
must be powered OFF.

Also, before connecting the FAGOR LAN, all the elements must be connected to ground
and verified that between their 0V points:

- there is continuity (0 Ohms) (with the elements powered off).

- or there is no voltage difference (0 V) (with the elements powered on).

If this condition is not met, the internal circuitry of some elements may be damaged.

7.3 CNC CONFIGURATION IN THE FAGOR LAN
To configure a 101S, 102 or 102S CNC in the FAGOR LAN, the following machine
parameters must be set:

P59(1)=1 The CNC is connected to the Fagor LAN.

P59(4) The CNC occupies the Main Node of the LAN

It indicates whether the CNC is the main node (NODE 0) or not.

P59(4) = 0 It is not the main node (NODE 0).

P59(4) = 1 It is the main node (NODE 0).

P56 Node number occupied by the CNC in the LAN

When the CNC is the main node, this parameters indicates how many more nodes are
interconnected in the LAN and when the CNC is not the main node, it indicates the node
number it occupies in the LAN.

Examples:

A Fagor LAN consists of 2 PLC64 (nodes 0 and 1) and a Fagor102 CNC (node 2).

P59(4) = 0 The CNC is not the Main Node.

P56 =2 The CNC occupies node 2

A Fagor LAN consists of a Fagor102 CNC (node 0) and 2 PLC64 (nodes 1 and 2).

P59(4) = 1 The CNC is the Main Node

P56 =2 There are another two nodes in the LAN.

P58 Number of the node receiving the M, S, T functions

It indicates the node number of the PLC64 receiving the M, S, T functions.

If there is no PLC64 associated with the CNC, this parameter must be set to a value of
15 or greater.

Chapter: 7 Section: Page

FAGOR LAN CNC LAN CONFIGURATION 5
 P57 Register of the PLC64 receiving the M, S, T functions

It indicates the register number of the PLC64 receiving the BCD codes for the M
functions.

The BCD codes for the S and T functions will be loaded into the next two registers.

This parameter must be set to an integer value greater than 10 and smaller than 253.

Example: To send the BCD codes for the M, S, T functions out to a PLC64 connected
to node 3 by loading this data into registers R20, R21 and R22:

P58=3 Sends the data out to node 3

P57=20 The code for M functions is deposited in register R20

The code for S functions is deposited in register R21
The code for T functions is deposited in register R22

P80 Parameter identifying the CNC within the LAN

Any element installed in the LAN may read the contents of a machine parameter and,
depending on the setting of this parameter by the manufacturer, get more information
about the CNC and the machine.

Attention:
This machine parameter has no effect on the operation of the CNC.

Any PLC64, 8020 CNC, 8025 CNC or 8030 CNC installed in the Fagor LAN may access
the internal information of a 101S, 102 or 102S CNC also installed in the LAN being
possible to:

* Know the number of the program being executed, the currently selected feedrate F,
which axes are in motion, etc.

* Inhibit the axes, display messages at the CNC, simulate the CNC keyboard, etc.

The PLC64 offers a number of marks (internal relays) associated to registers that allow
direct access to the various internal variables of the CNC101S, 102 or 102S.

The resources of the PLC64 for this application are:

M1901 - M1949 Each one of these marks is associated with a register (R101 - R149).

Whenever one of these marks is activated at the PLC64, the CNC puts
the information corresponding to that mark into the associated register
of the PLC64.

M1950 - M1964 Each one of these marks is associated to a register (R150 - R164).

Whenever one of these marks is activated, the PLC64 sends to the CNC
the data stored at the associated register.

To access the arithmetic parameters of the CNC101S, 102 or 102S from a PLC64, It is
required to perform system calls.

To access the internal information of the CNC101S, 102 or 102S, from an 8020 CNC, 8025
CNC or from 8030 CNC use function G52 at the CNCs requesting this data.

Axis coordinates

When the coordinate of an axis is requested the CNC displays its value in a double
register, and therefore both registers must be defined in the PLC64 program.

This value is given IN MICRONS, with respect to Machine Reference Zero (home)
and in hexadecimal format as shown below:

If X coordinate: 123.456 Value: H1E240 R103=0001 R102=E240

If X coordinate: -30.506 Value: HFFFF88D6 R103=FFFF R102=88D6

Number of the first program block

This number is given in BCD code. For example, if the first block is 278, register R106
will show the value of: 0000 0010 0111 1000

Axis feedrate "F" and spindle speed "S"

The F value is given in mm/min. and the S value in rpm. They are both in Hexadecimal
format as shown below:

F 10000 Value: H2710 R107=2710

S 2500 Value: H9C4 R108=9C4

Active tool "T" number

The active tool number is given in BCD code. For example, T12 will appear at register
R109 as 0000 0000 0001 0010

Fagor Local Area Network (LAN)

With mark M1910, it is possible to know the setting of machine parameter P80 of the
CNC when it is connected to the Fagor LAN.

This parameter setting appears at the 8 least significant bits (0 through 7) of register
R110 with the correspondence shown below (bits 8 through 15 are not being used at
this time):
P80(8) P80(7) P80(6) P80(5) P80(4) P80(3) P80(2) P80(1)

R110(7) R110(6) R110(5) R110(4) R110(3) R110(2) R110(1) R110(0)

Key codes

The key codes that the CNC may return at register R111 when activating mark M1911
are described in the appendix at the end of this manual.

7.4.2 DIRECT WRITING OF THE INTERNAL CNC VARIABLES
FROM A PLC64
Whenever one of marks M1950 through M1964 is activated, the PLC64 sends out to the
CNC the information stored at the associated register (R150 through R164).

ASSOCIATED Mark to be activated

INTERNAL CNC INFORMATION
REGISTER at the PLC64

Number of the block where the execution begins R152 M1952
Number of the block to be executed R153 M1953
Code of the key to be simulated B0-7 R154 M1954

Axis inhibit

The PLC64 may inhibit an axis so it cannot be moved.

When the CNC executes a block involving the movement of an inhibited axis, it
interrupts the execution until that inhibition is removed.

Error display

The most significant bits (8 through 15) of register R151 indicate the binary code of the
error number to be displayed at the CNC.

For example, to make the CNC display error 17, set R151 of the PLC to:
0001 0001 0000 0000 and activate mark M1951.

The CNC interrupts the execution of the program (if it was running) and displays the
following information:

LAn
Error 17

Number of the block where the execution begins

It is possible to set from the PLC, the block number where the CNC will start executing
the program.

To do this, set Register R152 to the BCD value of the desired initial block.

For example, to initiate the execution at block number 123, set:

R152= 0000 0001 0010 0011 and activate mark M1952.

Page Chapter: 7 Section:

10 FAGOR LAN INTERNAL CNC DATA
Number of the block to be executed

It is possible to indicate to the CNC from the PLC which program block to execute.

To do this, set register R153 to the BCD code of the desired block number.

For example, to execute block number 456, set:

R153= 0000 0100 0101 0110 and activate mark M1953.

Once executed, the CNC will indicate its status in register R101 of the PLC.

Code of the key to be simulated

Whenever a key code is sent to the CNC, this behaves as if the corresponding key were
pressed.

To do this, set R154 to the key code to be simulated and activate mark M1954.

When sending a keystroke sequence to the CNC, after each key code is sent and before
sending the next one, it is a good idea to check whether that key has been accepted by
the CNC or not by consulting the R111-M1911 combination.

The key codes to be sent to the CNC are described in the appendix at the end of this
manual.

FAGOR LAN INTERNAL CNC DATA 11
7.4.3 ACCESS TO THE ARITHMETIC PARAMETERS OF THE CNC
FROM A PLC64
Each arithmetic parameter of the CNC has a double register associated with it at the CNC
itself. This double register may be consulted or modified by a PLC64 installed in the LAN.

Arithmetic parameter P0 -> Associated double register: R100 of the CNC

Arithmetic parameter P1 -> Associated double register: R101 of the CNC
Arithmetic parameter P2 -> Associated double register: R102 of the CNC
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
Arithmetic parameter P97 -> Associated double register: R197 of the CNC
Arithmetic parameter P98 -> Associated double register: R198 of the CNC
Arithmetic parameter P99 -> Associated double register: R199 of the CNC

To consult an arithmetic parameter of the CNC from a PLC64, a system call must be
performed (see PLC64 manual).

Example of an arithmetic parameter consultation:

R5 = 15 A 32-bit register is to be consulted.

R6 = 116 Number of the CNC register to be consulted (R116)
SYS ?? R ?? System call depending on the node number occupied by the CNC.

Once the system call has concluded, register R6 and R7 indicate the arithmetic
parameter value consulted (R7 will contain the upper half of the value and R6 the lower
one).

Example of how to modify the value of an arithmetic parameter:

R5 = 16 A 32-bit register is to be changed.

R6 = 132 Number of the CNC register to be modified (R132)
R7 = Data Upper half of the value to be assigned.
R8 = Data Lower half of the value to be assigned.
SYS ?? R ?? System call depending on the node number occupied by the CNC.

Once the system call has concluded, parameter P32 will assume the value indicated at
registers R7 and R8 of the PLC64.

 8. DNC COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL

It is possible to communicate between this CNC and a PC via DNC either by generating
your own communications protocol or by using the software package "FAGOR DNC 100"
which may be installed at an IBM-compatible personal computer.

In order to generate your own you must follow the communications protocol described in
this chapter.

With the menu driven software package "FAGOR DNC 100", it is possible to:

* Transfer a program between this CNC and a PC.

* Execute a CNC program.
* Control the machine from a PC.
* Access the internal CNC variables.
* Etc.

8.1 BASIC CONCEPTS

To set up a DNC communication, use the RS232C connector as described in the section
on "RS232C connector" of the chapter on "CNC configuration" in this manual.

The machine parameters relevant to the RS232C serial line must also be set as follows:

P70 Baudrate: 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600.
P59(7) = 8 8 Data bits per character.
P59(5) = 0 No parity check
P59(8) = 0 1 Stop bit.

The communication must always be initiated by the external device (PC). The CNC will
accept commands in ASCII coded lines.

The communication is based on ECHO response by the CNC and XON-XOFF control by
the PC.

All characters sent out by the PC are sent back by the CNC except the <CR> character
which indicates the end of the command. The CNC acknowledges the request with the #
character (23H).

Example of a request to the CNC for the active tool number:

PC: RT <CR>
CNC: RT 05 #

If the CNC detects any error on the received line or it cannot execute it because its memory
is locked or it is in execution mode; it will return the "*" character followed by the
"ERROR" message and its corresponding number.
For example: * ERROR 106 #

Chapter: 8 Section: Page

DNC COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL BASIC CONCEPTS 1
Only one command per line must be sent always ending with the <CR> character.

The command line may include the following characters:

BS (008H) Deletes the last characters. The CNC returns the BS-SP-BS character
sequence:
DEL (07FH) Deletes all the characters received. For each deleted character, it
returns the BS-SP-BS character sequence.
HT (009H) The CNC takes it as SP (020H). It returns the SP character.
CR (00DH) End of command. From this moment on, the CNC responds to the
command and it sends a # (023H) character at the end of the response.
LF (00AH) The CNC takes it as a CR. End of command.

Once the command has been sent out, <CR>, the CNC analyzes it and prepares the
corresponding response to send it to the PC. In this stage, the CNC only accepts the
following characters:

XOFF (011H) Interrupts communication. The CNC no longer sends characters.

XON (013H) Resumes communication. The CNC continues sending characters.
ESC (01BH) Aborts the command being sent. The CNC returns the # character.

Any other character received will cause the CNC to return the BEL character (007H) as
echo.

RC Returns the value of the part counter

It returns 4 characters which indicate the internal count of the CNC part-counter.

Request example:

PC: RC <CR>
CNC: RC 0005 #

Rm Returns machine parameter table, tool table and tool offset table

It returns in internal CNC code, the tables for machine parameters, tools and tool
offsets.

This information has more than 600 characters. To control the reception of these
characters from the PC, the XON and XOFF codes must be used.

This information must not be manipulated and it should only be used as a safety copy
(back-up) of the CNC.

Request example:

PC: Rm <CR>
CNC: Rm <internally coded data> #

RN <First block>, <Last block> Returns the contents of the requested blocks

The numbers for the first and last blocks are optional and may be expressed with 1, 2
or 3 characters. The following programming formats may be used:

RN <First block>,<Last block>Example: RN 20,110

The CNC returns the contents of the blocks between the requested ones (both
included).

RN <First block> Example: RN 20

The CNC returns the contents of the all the blocks stored in memory starting
from the requested one.

RN The CNC returns the contents of all the blocks stored in memory.

Each block indicates the block number and its contents. They are separated by a
carriage return <CR> and when all of them are shown, the CNC returns the # character.

Request example:

PC: RN1,3 <CR>

CNC: RN1,3 N001 G01.90 X0.0000 Y0.0000 F0400 <CR>

8.3 CODES TO WRITE DATA INTO THE CNC
WE = <number> Causes the indicated error code at the CNC

The error code must be separated from the WE code by a blank space or "=" character
and it must be defined by 1 or 2 characters.

The CNC acts as if the error itself occurred, it quits the operating mode, deactivates
the brake signals, interrupts the execution of the program if necessary and it activates
the emergency output. It also shows, at the top window, the message DNC and, at the
bottom window, the selected error number.

Example: PC: WE 20 <CR>

CNC: WE 20 #

WK = <code> Simulates a keystroke at the CNC

The code of the key to be simulated at the CNC must be separated from the WK code
by a blank space or by the "=" character.

The codes of each one of the keys are shown in an illustration in this chapter when
describing the data reading code RK.

The following example shows how to interrupt the execution of the program from a
PC.

PC: WK=SP <CR>

CNC: WK=SP #

WO = <value> Changes the status of the CNC outputs

The value must be defined by 6 characters separated from the WO code by a blank
space or by the "=" character.
Character Bit Meaning Pin Character Bit Meaning Pin

13 OL slow for Y 5 (I/O2) 1 X axis brake 3 (I/O1)
12 OL fast for Y 3 (I/O2) 0 JOG output 2 (I/O1)

Before changing the status of an output, it is a good idea to read all of them by using
the "RO" command and then change the status of the desired output while maintaining
the status of the rest.

Example: PC: WO ED8412 <CR>

CNC: WO ED8412 #

Page Chapter: 8 Section:

8 DNC COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL "READ" CODES
WI = <axis> Inhibits the desired axis or axes.

Indicate the axis to be inhibited after the WI code and separated by a blank space or
by the "=" character.

Examples: WI= X <CR> WI= Y <CR> WI= XY <CR>

WI X <CR> WI Y <CR> WI XY <CR>

WH = <axis> Enables the desired axis or axes

Indicate the axis to be enabled after the WH code and separated by a blank space or
by the "=" character.

Examples: WH= X <CR> WH= Y <CR> WH= XY <CR>

WH X <CR> WH Y <CR> WH XY <CR>

WP <number> = <value> Assigns the indicated value to the selected parameter

Following the parameter number (1 or 2 characters) and separated by a blank space

or by the "=" character, indicate the value to be assigned to that parameter. The value
may have a sign, up to 5 digits to the left of the decimal point and up to 4 to the right.

Example: PC: WP 22 = 100.2523 <CR>

CNC: WP 22 = 100.2523 #

Wm Modifies the machine parameter, tool and tool offset tables

This command must be used to restore these tables.

It is absolutely necessary to have previously used the "Rm" code to read these tables
and store them in memory.

This information must not be manipulated and it should be used as back-up of the CNC
and later on, when necessary, it must be restored by means of "Wm".

Since the CNC table information has more than 600 characters, the <CR> character
must be sent after the "Wm" code. The CNC will respond with the # character. Then,
80-character packages will be sent one by one. The CNC, after returning the echo for
each character, will return the # character. The last package will have a variable number
of characters and it will end with the <CR> character.

PC: Wm <CR> <80 charac.> <80 charac.> ... <charac.> <CR>

CNC: Wm # <80 charac.> # <80 charac.> ... <charac.> #

WN <block> Sends a program block to the CNC

The block must be edited following the CNC programming rules and starting with the
block number (up to 3 digits).

The CNC admits up to 80 characters. If blank spaces are not used as separators, the
block may not contain more than 45 characters.

Example: WN001 G01.90 X0.0000 Y0.0000 F0400 <CR>

Chapter: 8 Section: Page

DNC COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL "READ" CODES 9
8.4 CODES TO EXECUTE PROGRAM BLOCKS
EB <block> Executes the indicated block

The block must be edited following the CNC programming rules and it is not necessary
to indicate the block number.

The CNC does not store the block, it only executes it.

The CNC admits up to maximum of 80 characters. If no blank spaces are used as

separators the block may not contain more than 45 characters.

Example: EB G01.90 X0.0000 Y0.0000 F0400 <CR>

EM = <block number> Executes the indicated block number

Following the "EM" code and separated by a blank space or by a "=" character, indicate
the CNC program block number to be executed with 1, 2 or 3 characters.

Examples: EM 030 EM=100

ES = <block number> Executes the CNC program starting at the indicated

block number

Following the "ES" code and separated by a blank space or by the "=" character,
indicate with 1, 2 or 3 characters, the number of the block from which to start the
execution.

Example: ES 030

The CNC will execute block N030 and all the following ones until
reading an end-of-program instruction (M00 or M30).

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning:

The accumulated dirt inside the unit may act as a screen preventing the proper dissipation of the
heat generated by the internal circuitry which could result in a harmful overheating of the CNC
and, consequently, possible malfunctions.

On the other hand, accumulated dirt can sometimes act as an electrical conductor and shortcircuit
the internal circuitry, especially under high humidity conditions.

To clean the operator panel and the monitor, a smooth cloth should be used which has been dipped
into de-ionized water and /or non abrasive dish-washer soap (liquid, never powder) or 75º alcohol.

Do not use highly compressed air to clean the unit because it could generate electrostatic discharges.

The plastics used on the front panel of the CNC are resistant to :

1.- Grease and mineral oils

2.- Bases and bleach
3.- Dissolved detergents
4.- Alcohol

Avoid the action of solvents such as Chlorine hydrocarbons , Benzole , Esters

and Ether which can damage the plastics used to make the unit’s front panel.

Do not manipulate inside this unit. Only personnel authorized by Fagor

Automation may manipulate inside this module.

Do not manipulate the connectors with the unit connected to main AC power.
Before manipulating these connectors, make sure that the unit is not connected
to main AC power.

Fagor Automation shall not be held responsible for any material or physical
damage derived from the violation of these basic safety requirements.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE INSTALLATION MANUAL (REF. 9703)

Section 1.6.1 (chapter 1 page 11). RESET
The last paragraph should read:
When setting machine parameter "P30" with a value other than "0", the CNC behaves as follows: A leading
edge (up flank) interrupts the execution and it is redirected to a HOME block, but the HOME function is not
executed until a trailing edge (down flank) is detected.

Connection example using only the external control keys "X+", "X-"

Section 4.1.1.1 (chapter 4 page 11). P63(1) Acceleration/deceleration in all G01 movements
It should read:
P63(1) Acceleration/deceleration also on linear interpolations (G01)
It defines if the CNC, besides applying acc/dec ramps (P16, P17, P91, P92) on all rapid movements at F0, it
also applies them on linear interpolations (G01).
0 = Only on rapid movements (G00) and at F0.
1 = On rapid movements and on all linear interpolations (G01).

MODIFICATIONS TO THE OPERATION MANUAL (REF. 9703)

Section 6.5.4 (chapter 6 page 17). Synchronism (G33)
In the printing example.
* If the turning of the roller is controlled with an external device, it is not necessary to program the " N0 S1000
M3" block, but machine parameter P36 must be set to the approximate rpm of the roller.
* If the roller does not have an encoder, because no controlled synchronism is needed, pin 5 of connector
A2 must be connected to 5V.

Software Version 2.02 (May 1998)

1. ASSUME X1 OF THE HANDWHEEL WITH THE "JOG 100" JOG BOX

Machine parameter P102(7) indicates whether the axes can be jogged or not with the handwheel when the Feedrate
Override Switch is positioned out of the handwheel markings while using the "JOG 100" jog box and the JOG mode
is selected.

P102(7) = 0 It is not possible. The handwheel is active in the handwheel positions only.
P102(7) = 1 The handwheel is active in any position of the Feedrate Override Switch.

When machine parameter P102(7) = 1, the CNC applies the "x1" factor when the switch is positioned out of the
handwheel positions.

2. THE CNC101 ALSO HAS ARITHMETIC PROGRAMMING.

From this version on, the CNC101 model also has arithmetic programming with conditional jumps (G26, G27, G28,
G29).
101 101S 102 102S
Arithmetic programming x x x x
Arithmetic parameters 100 10 0 100 100
PROGRAM M ING G 2 6 Jum p if zero x x x x
FUNCTIONS G27 Jump if not zero x x x x
G28 Jump if less than zero x x x x
G29 Jump if equal or greater than zero x x x x

3. AXES NOMENCLATURE.
With bits 1 and 2 of parameter P102, the axes nomenclature may be defined.
P102(2) P102(1) Axes Nomenclature
0 0 XY
0 1 YC
1 0 XZ
1 1 YZ

The new denomination selected only affects the display, they will keep being X and Y internally. Therefore, when
accessing the CNC via DNC 100, the axes will always be X Y.

4. MOVEMENTS IN G75
In previous versions, when a movement programmed in G75 reached position and the CNC had not yet received the
probe signal, the CNC would issue error 21.
From this version on, parameter P102(5) indicates whether the CNC issues error 21 or not.
P102(5) = 0 It issues error 21. Like until now.
P102(5) = 1 It does not issue error 21. It goes on executing the next block.

5. DISPLAY OF THE AXIS IN EXECUTION

In previous versions, while in Automatic mode, the CNC could change the axis being displayed depending on the
movement programmed:
If both axes move => it keeps displaying the axis selected with A+ ,A-
If only the X axis moves => it displays the X axis
If only the Y axis moves => it displays the Y axis
From this version on, parameter P102(6) determines whether the CNC behaves like before or it does not change the
axis being displayed.
P102(6) = 0 Like before
P102(6) = 1 The CNC does not change the axis. It keeps displaying the axis selected with A+ ,A-

 Software Version 2.03 (January 1999)
1. ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT WITH G75
When probing at high speed, it could stop abruptly making the axis overshoot the programmed position and having
to move back into position.
In previous versions of the CNC 101 S, machine parameter P82 could be used to minimize this sometimes undesirable
effect.
This parameter indicates to the CNC the distance the axis must move after receiving the probe signal, thus stopping
smoothly.
From this version on, this feature will also be available on the "102 S" CNC model and parameter P83 indicates the
distance the Y axis must move after receiving the probe signal.
Therefore: P82 indicates the distance the X axis must move after receiving the probe signal.
P83 indicates the distance the Y axis must move after receiving the probe signal.
Possible values: From 1 to 65535 microns.
From 1 to 25801 tenth-thousandths of an inch.
