Explanation

Operations are accepted only when the data protection key is set to
ON.

If the program storage capacity on the copy destination side is
insufficient, the copy operation is not accepted.

The currently selected program is highlighted. Multiple programs
can be selected in the same folder. Each time [SELECT] is pressed,
the program currently indicated by the cursor is selected.

A selected program can be deselected by pressing [SELECT] again or
by pressing [CANCEL].

If the same program name is already present in the copy or move
destination folder, "REWRITE: FILE NAME" is displayed, allowing
you to determine whether to overwrite the existing program by
pressing soft key [NO] or [REWRITE]. Pressing [REWRITE]
performs overwriting, and pressing [NO] does not perform the copy or
move operation of that program.

Pressing soft key [DELETE] deletes all the files currently selected.

A program can be neither copied nor moved to the same folder as the
selected folder.
When only one program is selected, and a program name is already
entered, however, the program can be copied or moved within the
same folder.

NOTE

Once a copy or move operation starts, it cannot be
canceled. So, start the operation very carefully.

Explanation
- Multiple selectable files

Only multiple files that are in the same folder can be selected at the
same time with soft key [SELECT]. Files in other devices and folders
cannot be selected at the same time.
Up to ten files can be selected at the same time.

- Changing the file name during copying and movement

If only one file is selected for copying or moving, the file can be
copied or moved by changing its file name.
After selecting a file, enter a file name and press soft key [COPY] or
[MOVE]. This causes the file to be copied or moved with the entered
file name.

- Copying and moving a file to the same folder

It is not possible to copy and move a selected file to the folder that
contains the file.
If an attempt is made to do so, warning "SAMEFILE NOTCOPY" is
issued.
If, however, only one file is selected, and is to be copied or moved by
changing its file name, it can be copied or moved to the same folder.

- Overwriting files

When copying or moving is attempted, if a file with the same name
exists in the destination folder, message "REWRITE: File name"
flashes below the key-in buffer. If the file with the same name is to be
overwritten, press soft key [REWRITE] and otherwise, press soft key
[NO].

- File search when selecting a file

After soft key [SELECT START] is pressed, it is possible to search
for a file through a folder using soft key [SEARCH] when selecting
the file to copy or move.
Enter the file name to search for first and then press soft key
[SEARCH]. If a file with the entered file name exists, the cursor is
positioned on the file. If no file with the entered file name exists,
warning "SPECIFIED PROGRAM NOT FOUND" appears.
Soft key [SEARCH] simply moves the cursor to the program found on
the directory screen. It is not possible to switch operations, using bit 5
(PES) of parameter No. 11302.

- Display of a selected file name

When a file is selected with soft key [SELECT], the color of the
background of the file name display is changed. The color of the
background of the file name display remains unchanged until the file
is deselected.

- Deselecting a file

When a file is selected with soft key [SELECT], the selected file can
be deselected by positioning the cursor on the file and pressing soft
key [SELECT] again. All selected files are deselected when any of
the following operations is performed.

•

Pressing of soft key [CANCEL] after performing a select

operation.

•

Completion of a move operation.

•

Change of the source folder during selection.

•

Termination of a select operation with soft key [SELECT END]
and pressing of soft key [SELECT START] to enter the start of
selection state.

NOTE

When bit 6 (RTC) of parameter No. 11318 is 1, all
selected files are also deselected upon completion
of a copy operation.

Limitation
- Mode for performing copy and move operations

To copy and move files between different devices or data servers,
enter EDIT mode. In a multipath system, place all paths in EDIT
mode. If an attempt to perform an operation in a mode other than
EDIT mode, warning "CHANGE TO EDIT MODE" is issued.

- Restrictions on file operations in various devices

Those devices between which file copy and move operations can be
performed are as follows:

•

CNC

MEM

•

MEM CARD (binary format)
(Note that a folder on a MEM CARD can be selected as a source
folder from which a file is to be read.)

•

Data

server

Between devices other than those above, copy or move operations
cannot be performed.
It is not possible to copy and move to devices other than those above
or to a MEM CARD or to move from a MEM CARD.
If an attempt is made to copy or move, warning "CAN NOT
COPY/MOVE" is issued.

- Folder copy and move operations

Folder copy or move operations cannot be performed.
If an attempt is made to select a folder as an object to copy or move,
warning "DISABLE TO SELECT" is issued.

Note

NOTE

Once a copy or move operation starts, it cannot be
canceled. Thus, check the files and folder subject to
the operation carefully before starting it.

KEYS AND PROGRAM ENCRYPTION

Overview

Program contents can be protected by setting parameters for
encryption and for the program security range.

Explanation

Security with a password and a security range
When the password and security range parameters are specified,
the display, editing, and input/output operations are disabled for
the programs within the security range.
This prevents the custom macro programs created by the machine
tool builder from being accidentally changed or deleted by the
end user. This also provides security because the contents of the
programs are not displayed.

Input/output of encrypted programs
The programs in the security range can be encrypted before being
output. Once encrypted, the programs cannot be decrypted. In
addition, encrypted programs can be input directly.

- Locking/unlocking

When the programs in the security range are secured, the program
memory is said to be locked.
If they are not secured, the program memory is said to be unlocked.

- Parameter

•

Parameter PASSWORD (No.3220)
Set the password required to lock the program memory. A
password other than 0 can be set. The password is not displayed.
A password can be set when no password is set (PASSWORD =
0) or the program memory is unlocked.

•

Parameter KEY (No.3221)
When KEY is set equal to PASSWORD, the program memory is
unlocked. The value set for the parameter is never displayed.
Each time the CNC is started, 0 is set for the parameter. This
means that whenever the CNC is started, a lock is provided if a
password is set (PASSWORD

≠

0).

•

Minimum value (in parameter No. 3222) and maximum value (in
parameter No. 3223) of the program security range
Set the desired security range. The value set for MINIMUM must
not be greater than that set for MAXIMUM. The programs in the
range of MINIMUM to MAXIMUM are secured. If MINIMUM
is set to 0, it is regarded as being 9000. If MAXIMUM is set to 0,
it is regarded as being 9999.

A range can be set when no password is set or the program
memory is unlocked.

- 1387 -

NOTE

1 For security, the values set for PASSWORD and

KEY are not displayed. For the same reason,
PASSWORD, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM can be
specified only when no password is set or the
program memory is unlocked. Set a password,
taking great care to avoid a situation where the
program memory cannot be unlocked because a
password is set incorrectly.

2 The [+INPUT] key used to specify PASSWORD and

KEY behave in the same way as the [INPUT] soft
key.

Example: When 99 is set for KEY, pressing

and [+INPUT] changes the value to.

3 These four parameters cannot be output externally.

Also, even when these parameters are input by the
parameter read operation, they are ignored.

- Inputting/outputting and collating programs

When a program is encrypted, a password is output. The password is
used to load the program.
The following output operations are enabled for programs outside the
security range if the locked state is present or for programs within the
security range if the unlocked state is present:

Outputting all programs

Locked/unlocked

Results

Locked

All the programs outside the security range are
output in the normal way.

Unlocked

All the programs within the security range are
encrypted and output.

Password not set

All the programs in the program memory are output
in the normal way.

Outputting a single program

Locked/unlocked

Results

Locked

If a program is outside the security range, it is output
in the normal way.
If it is within the security range, a warning
"PROTECTED" is issued.

Unlocked

If a program is outside the security range, it is output
in the normal way.
If it is within the security range, it is encrypted and
output.

Password not set

The program is output in a normal way.
