NOTE 

1  For some types of data, the output function is not provided. 
2  When the protection level of data is higher than the current operation level, the 

protection level cannot be changed. 

3  The protection level of data cannot be changed to a level higher than the current 

operation level. 

4  Settable types of data increase or decrease, depending on the option configuration. 
5  For details on the protection level of PMC data, refer to “PMC Programming Manual 

(B-63983EN)”. 

6  Data related to tool information on the EACH TOOL DATA screen for the tool 

management function is protected by protecting tool offset data. 

7  The type of tool offset data put in effect varies depending on the tool compensation 

value memory used. 

8  To change the protection level for each part program, do so on the PROGRAM 

FOLDERscreen rather than on the PROTECT LEVEL screen. 

9  Part program editing includes program editing for the MDI mode. 
10 Presetting absolute coordinates causes preset workpiece coordinate system values 

to be protected.   

11 During tool offset data input/output, if any tool offset data type is not allowed to be 

changed or output to the outside, it is processed as follows: 

- Input  : Any data type other than those whose change is not allowed is changed. 
- Output  : Any data type other than those whose change is not allowed is output.

Precision Level Selection 

 
An intermediate precision level between the parameters for emphasis 
on velocity (precision level 1) and the parameters for emphasis on 
precision (precision level 10) set on the machining parameter tuning 
screen can be selected. As shown in the figure below, the levels are 
proportionally linear, and an intermediate level can be selected so that 
optimal parameters can be automatically calculated to perform 
machining.

To change the precision level, key in a desired precision level (1 
to 10), then press the 

  key on the MDI panel.

When the precision level is changed, a RMS value is obtained 
from the velocity-emphasized parameter set and 
precision-emphasized parameter set for parameter modification. 
For the modified parameters, see the description of the 
machining parameter tuning.

If the tool life management B function is enabled (bit 4 (LFB) of 
parameter No. 6805 = 1), the following parameters can be used to 
display arbitrary groups and remaining set values. 
• 

If bit 5 (TGN) of parameter No. 6802 = 1 

An arbitrary group is displayed on the list and group editing 

screens. 

• 

If bit 3 (GRP) of parameter No. 6802 = 1 

Remaining set values are displayed on the group editing screen.   

The group editing screen always displays H and D codes. 

 

T

 

The T series is provided with two tool change types, turret type and 
ATC type.    For the T series, displays vary depending on which tool 
change type is in use. 
If the turret type is in use (bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 = 0) 
• 

Neither the H code nor the D code is used; neither is displayed. 

• 

No arbitrary group can be used; no arbitrary group is displayed. 

If the ATC type is in use (bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 = 1) 
• 

The D code is displayed on the group editing screen. 

• 

If the tool life management B function is enabled (bit 4 (LFB) of 
parameter No. 6805 = 1) and bit 5 (TGN) of parameter No. 6802 
= 1, arbitrary groups are displayed on the list and group editing 
screens. 

If the tool life management B function is enabled (bit 4 (LFB) of 
parameter No.6805 = 1) and bit 3 (GRP) or parameter No. 6802 = 1, 
remaining set values are displayed on the group editing screen.
