WARNING

When setting PMC address or macro variable for the unsolicited messaging
function, thoroughly confirm the content of “GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT” in “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” at the beginning
of this manual.

Ensure that a PMC address area for control never overlaps PMC areas used for
a purpose other than the unsolicited messaging function and that a macro
variable for control never be doubly specified as a variable to be used for a
purpose other than the unsolicited messaging function.
If the machine is operated without confirmation of above explanation, the
machine may behave unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the machine
itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to the user.

CAUTION

1 Immediately after the power is turned on, all R area and E area as volatile

memory in the PMC area are 0.

2 The E area in the PMC area is normally allocated to volatile memory. However, it

can also be used as nonvolatile memory.
When the area is used as nonvolatile memory, the contents of the area are
retained even after the power is turned off. So, special attention should be paid
not to cause an unpredictable operation when the power is turned on next time.

NOTE

1 Two methods are available for PMC address specification in CONTROL

PARAMETER TYPE: response notification method and simplified method. For
details of the methods, see Subsection 18.2.6.6, "Execution methods".

2 The valid setting range of PMC addresses depends on the usable PMC memory

type. For details, refer to "PMC PROGRAMMING MANUAL (B-64513EN)".

3 The valid setting ranges of custom macro variable numbers and RTM variable

numbers depend on the selected options. For details, refer to "OPERATOR'S
MANUAL (COMMON TO LATHE SYSTEM/MACHINING CENTER SYSTEM)
(B-64694EN)".

4 Ensure that the setting of TRANSMISSION NUMBER matches the settings of

TRANSMISSION PARAMETER (No. 1 to No. 3). If TRANSMISSION NUMBER
is set to 3, and an invalid value is specified in any of TRANSMISSION
PARAMETER No. 1 to No. 3, for example, execution of soft key [APPLY] results
in an error.

Setting PMC address

To setting a PMC address for control or a PMC address for transmission, specify it as follows:

Input format)

For example, for R0500 on the second path of the PMC, input "2:R500".
If <Path number> is omitted (R500), the first path is assumed (1:R0500).
If the <:> key is not available, it can be substituted with the </> key or the <EOB> key. ":" is optional.
To clear "<Path number>:<PMC address>" previously set, input " " (blank). ("---" will be displayed). In
this case, it is assumed that no PMC area is used.

Setting macro variable

To setting a macro variable for control or a macro variable for transmission, specify it as follows:

Input format)

For example, for No.100 on the second path of the Macro, input "2:100".
If <Path number> is omitted (100), the first path is assumed (1:100).
If the <:> key is not available, it can be substituted with the </> key or the <EOB> key. ":" is optional.
To clear "<Path number>:<Variable No>" previously set, input "  "  (blank). ("---"  will be displayed). In
this case, it is assumed that no macro variable is used.

Start of unsolicited messaging

For details, refer to Chapter 5, "

UNSOLICITED MESSAGING FUNCTION

" in "Data Window Library

Specifications" that comes with the FOCAS1/2 library.

WARNING

NOTE

1 To start unsolicited messaging, the FOCAS2 function cnc_wrunsolicprm2 needs

to be executed first then the FOCAS2 function cnc_unsolicstart needs to be
executed.

2 The FOCAS2 function cnc_wrunsolicprm2 can be executed only in the "Not

Ready" state. For details of the state, see "

Display items

" in Subsection

17.2.6.3, "Mode selection".

3 When the FOCAS2 function cnc_wrunsolicprm2 is executed, the Unsolicited
