When bit 6 (HDE) of parameter No. 3195 is set to 0, I/O 
signals specified on the operation history signal selection 
screen are recorded.  Recorded signals are indicated on a 
bit-by-bit basis with information about the signal address

NOTE 

1  When more than one bit at the same address 

changes at the same time, the changes of these 
bits are treated as one history data item. 

2  A signal fluctuation for less than 4 msec is not 

recorded as history data.

 Alarms 

Alarm numbers and the issuance times are displayed on the 
operation history screen. 
This alarm information is displayed with white characters in 
the red background. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When a path name, axis name, or spindle name was

Date and time when history data was erased. These are 
displayed with black characters. 

 

NOTE 

1  When times are recorded at regular intervals, if 

there is no data to record within an interval, the 
time is not recorded. (When the date is changed, 
the time is recorded on the assumption that there 
is data to record.) 

2  When the date and time in the CNC system are 

changed, the date and time at which the change 
is made may be recorded as the date and time in 
iii or iv above. 

 

History data not displayed on the screen 

In addition to history data of MDI keys, I/O signal status, alarms 
issued, external operator messages (not displayed on the operation 
history screen), and time stamps, data described below can be 
recorded with time. Such history data cannot be displayed on the 
screen but can be output to external input/output devices. (See 
Subsection 12.4.30.5, "Outputting all history data".)

Detailed data at alarm issuance 

If bit 7 (HAL) of parameter No. 3196 is set to 0, 10 modal G 
codes, auxiliary function codes D, E, F, H, M, N, O, S, and T, 
absolute coordinates, and machine coordinates in the block being 
executed when an alarm was issued are recorded together with 
the alarm number and the time of alarm issuance. 
The group numbers of the 10 modal G codes to be recorded are 
set in parameter Nos. 12990 to 12999. If these parameters are not 
specified, modal G codes of groups 01 to 10 are recorded. 

 

NOTE 

1  For modal O data that is a program name, only the 

first five characters are recorded. 

2  To record as many items as possible instead of 

recording detailed data at alarm issuance, set bit 7 
(HAL) of parameter No. 3196 to 1.

External alarm messages and macro alarm messages 

If bit 3 (EAH) of parameter No. 3112 is set to 1, external alarm 
messages and macro alarm messages can also be recorded as 
history data. However, only the first 64 characters of each 
message are recorded. 
 

NOTE 

 

To record also external alarm and macro alarm 
messages as history data, set bit 3 (EAH) of 
parameter No. 3112 to 1, and at the same time set 
bit 7 (HAL) of parameter No. 3196 to 0.

Modification of tool offset data 

If bit 0 (HTO) of parameter No. 3196 is set to 1, when tool offset 
data is modified, the number and type of the tool offset are 
recorded as well as the tool offset data before modification, the 
tool offset data after modification, and the time of modification.

Modification of workpiece offset/extended workpiece 
offset/workpiece shift (T series) data 

If bit 1 (HWO) of parameter No. 3196 is set to 1, when 
workpiece offset data is modified, the number of the modified 
workpiece offset is recorded as well as the workpiece offset data 
before modification, the workpiece offset data after modification, 
and the time of modification. Similar data is recorded also when 
extended workpiece offsets and workpiece shift amounts (T 
series) are modified.

Modification of parameters 

If bit 2 (HPM) of parameter No. 3196 is set to 1, when a 
parameter is modified, the number and type (axis type, spindle 
type, path type, or machine group type) of the parameter are 
recorded as well as the parameter data before modification, the 
parameter data after modification, and the time of modification. 
 

NOTE 

Modifications made at power-on and modifications of 
passwords and keys are not recorded as history 
data.

Modification of custom macro common variables (#100 to #999) 

If bit 3 (HMV) of parameter No. 3196 is set to 1, when a custom 
macro common variable is modified, the number of the common 
variable is recorded as well as the common variable value before 
modification, the common variable value after modification, and 
the time of modification. 

 

Erasing history data from the operation history screen 

 

Procedure 

1 

Display the operation history screen. 

2 

Press horizontal soft key [ALL CLEAR].   

3

 

Press horizontal soft key [EXEC]. All history data is erased. 

 

NOTE 

An erasure operation erases not only operation 
history data but also other history data such as 
external operator message history data and alarm 
history data. It is impossible to erase only a specific 
history.

1 

Press function key 

. 

2 

Press vertical soft key [NEXT PAGE] several times until vertical 
soft key [OPERAT HISTRY] is displayed. 

3 

Press vertical soft key [OPERAT HISTRY].

Type a signal type (X, G, F, or Y) and an address, then press 

. 

Example: 
 

When G0004 is entered then 

 is pressed: 

The entered signal address, G0004, is set in ADDRESS, and 
initial value 00000000 is set in SIGNAL. 

7 

Select the bits to be recorded in the history. 
To change the status of all bits of the specified signal address, 
place the cursor in all bits so that the bits are highlighted (for 
example, "

00000000

"), then press horizontal soft key [ON:1] or 

[OFF:0]. Then, the bits are set to 11111111 or 00000000. 
To change the status of only a certain bit, move the cursor to the 
bit by using cursor keys 

 and 

 

, and press horizontal 

soft key [ON:1] or [OFF:0]. The selected bit is then set to 1 or 0. 

8 

Up to 60 addresses can be set to select signals. Addresses need 
not necessarily be set sequentially starting from No. 1. 

 

NOTE 

1  While the operation history signal selection screen is 

being displayed, recording of history data is not 
performed. 

2  Only X, Y, G, and F can be set for I/O signals. 

For data not set, "********" is displayed. 

3  Even when an address is set, history data is not 

recorded if all bits are set to 0. 

4  When the ON/OFF width of an input signal is less than 4 

msec, recording of history data is not performed. 
Also,there are some signals that are not recorded. 

5  When many signals are selected, the processing speed 

may lower.
