12.3.5 Direct Input of Workpiece Origin Offset Value Measured

This function is used to compensate for the difference between the programmed workpiece coordinate

system and the actual workpiece coordinate system. The measured offset for the origin of the workpiece

coordinate system can be input on the screen such that the command values match the actual dimensions.

Selecting the new coordinate system matches the programmed coordinate system with the actual

coordinate system.

even if the life of the tool has expired until another tool is selected.

3 If bit 3 (EMD) of parameter No. 6801 =1, the following differences can occur

depending on the type of the life counter in use.

• If the life counter type is specification by duration, the prefix is changed to “*”

(life expired) as soon as the tool life expires.

• If the life counter type is specification by count, the counter is incremented by

one at the end of a program (such as M02 or M30). So, the prefix is not

changed to “*” (life expired) even if the tool life counter matches the life value.

The symbol “*” (life expired) appears when the tool life count is incremented

after the CNC is reset.

4 If bit 2 (ETE) of parameter No. 6804 = 1, the symbol “*” indicating the expiration

of the life of the last tool appears on the tool life management screen when the

life counter for the last tool of the tool group of interest matches the life value.

This way, the information about the last tool in the FOCAS2 or PMC window

indicates that the life of the tool has expired if the tool change signal TLCH

Contents of (A)

Like the counterpart of the list screen, (A) of the editing screen displays the next tool group number and

override value. If there is no appropriate tool group, *** is displayed instead.

NEXT GROUP:

Tool group for which life counting is started by the next M06 command.

USING GROUP:

Tool group number for which life counting is currently under way.

SELECTED GROUP:

Tool group number for which life counting is currently under way or life counting has been

performed most recently.

COUNT OVERRIDE:

The override value by which the life count (time) is multiplied is displayed if the tool life counter

override signal is enabled (bit 2 (LFV) of parameter No. 6801 = 1).

“1.0TIMES” is displayed if the tool life counter override signal is disabled (bit 2 (LFV) of parameter

NOTE

1 The tool life counter indicates the count value for the tool indicated with @.

2 If bit 3 (EMD) of parameter No. 6801 = 0, a tool number remains prefixed with @

even if the life of the tool has expired until another tool is selected.

3 If bit 3 (EMD) of parameter No. 6801 = 1, the following differences can occur

depending on the type of the life counter in use.

• If the life counter type is specification by duration, the prefix is changed to “*”

(life expired) as soon as the tool life expires.

• If the life counter type is specification by count, the counter is incremented by

one at the end of a program (such as M02 or M30). So, the prefix is not

changed to “*” (life expired) even if the tool life counter matches the life value.

The symbol “*” (life expired) appears when the tool life count is incremented

after the CNC is reset.

4 If bit 2 (ETE) of parameter No. 6804 = 1, the symbol “*” indicating the expiration

of the life of the last tool appears on the tool life management screen when the

life counter for the last tool of the tool group of interest matches the life value.

This way, the information about the last tool in the FOCAS2 or PMC window

indicates that the life of the tool has expired if the tool change signal TLCH

<Fn064.0> is 1.

Setting data on the group editing screen

Tool life management data can be specified in the reset state (both the OP and RST signals are “0”).

However, setting bit 1 (TCI) of parameter No. 6804 to “1” enables tool life management data to be

specified even during automatic operation (the OP signal is “1”).

This chapter describes how to set parameters on the MDI panel. Parameters can also be set with external

input/output devices such as the memory card (see III-8).

12.4.1 Displaying and Setting Parameters

When the CNC and machine are connected, parameters are set to determine the specifications and

functions of the machine in order to fully utilize the characteristics of the servo motor. The setting of

parameters depends on the machine. Refer to the parameter list prepared by the machine tool builder.

Normally, the user need not change parameter setting.

Press soft key [(OPRT)], then press [ON:1] to enable parameter writing.

At this time, the CNC enters the alarm state SW0100.

When an alarm PW0000 occurred, however, it is not released unless the power is turned off and

back on.

Explanation

-

Setting parameters with external input/output devices

See III-8 for setting parameters with external input/output devices such as the memory card.

-

Parameters that require turning off the power

Some parameters are not effective until the power is turned off and on again after they are set. Setting

such parameters causes alarm PW0000. In this case, turn off the power, then turn it on again.

-

Parameter list

Refer to the Parameter Manual (B-64310EN) for the parameter list.

-

Setting data

Some parameters can be set on the setting screen if the parameter list indicates "Setting entry is

acceptable". Setting 1 for PARAMETER WRITE is not necessary when these parameters are set on the

setting screen.

12.4.2 Displaying and Setting Pitch Error Compensation Data

If pitch error compensation data is specified, pitch errors of each axis can be compensated in detection

unit per axis.

Pitch error compensation data is set for each compensation point at the intervals specified for each axis.

The origin of compensation is the reference position to which the tool is returned.

- 604 -

B-64304EN/02

OPERATION 12.SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA

The pitch error compensation data is set according to the characteristics of the machine connected to the

NC. The content of this data varies according to the machine model. If it is changed, the machine

accuracy is reduced. In principle, the end user must not alter this data.

Pitch error compensation data can be set with external devices such as the memory card (see Chapter

III-8). Compensation data can also be written directly with the MDI panel.

The following parameters must be set for pitch error compensation. Set the pitch error compensation

value for each pitch error compensation point number set by these parameters.

In the following example, 33 is set for the pitch error compensation point at the reference position.

Bi-directional pitch error compensation

The bi-directional pitch error compensation function allows independent pitch error compensation in

different travel directions.

(When the movement is reversed, compensation is automatically carried out

as in a backlash.)

To use this function, specify pitch error compensation for each travel direction, that is, separately for the

positive and negative directions of a movement.

When using bi-directional pitch error compensation (setting bit 0 (BDPx) of parameter No. 3605 to 1),

specify the following parameters in addition to the pitch error compensation parameter.

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the negative end (for travel in the positive direction,

for each axis): Parameter No. 3621

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the positive end (for travel in the positive direction,

for each axis): Parameter No. 3622

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the negative end (for travel in the negative direction,

for each axis): Parameter No. 3626
