You can use [STAND.] to restore the initial state factory-set by the

machine tool builder.

NOTE

1 When fixed form sentences are initialized, the

sentences that have been entered or modified so

2 Also when the machine tool builder reads standard

fixed form sentences into memory, initialization

using [STAND.] is required first.

12.1

BASIC SPECIFICATIONS

(1)

With the NC program conversion function, only a 4-digit G cycle

machining command can be dissolved into a single move

command. Any other types of commands are output without

modification.

(2)

The NC program conversion function can be used in the MEM

mode only.

(3)

Only an executed block becomes an NC program conversion

target.

(4)

A block containing an M98, M99, or custom macro program is

not output to the conversion destination program.

(5)

In the case of multiple paths, NC program conversion is

performed for each path.

(6)

If there is a loop or conditional branch program of a custom

macro program, executed blocks only are output. A block

containing a conditional branch program of a custom macro is

not output to the conversion destination program.

(7)

If a loop or conditional branch program of a custom macro

program includes a

4-digit G cycle, the

4-digit G cycle is

expanded as many times as the number of repeats. A block

containing a conditional branch program of a custom macro is

not output to the conversion destination program.

(8)

Whether to output a 4-digit G cycle machining command before

expansion as a comment can be chosen using bit 5 of parameter

No. 14703.

Bit 5 of parameter No. 14703 = 0:

Outputs a

4-digit G cycle machining command before

expansion as a comment in NC program conversion.

Bit 5 of parameter No. 14703 = 1:

Does not output a 4-digit G cycle machining command

before expansion as a comment in NC program conversion.

NOTE

In Series 30i, a 4-digit G cycle machining

command before expansion as a comment is not

outputted.

not performed as expected in cases other than the cases indicated

below.

(Example 1) When both the machining command and figure command

of a cycle are present on the main program

* It is assumed that the subprogram includes only the figure

command of a cycle.

(9) Executed program blocks are the target of NC statement

conversion.

(10) Feedrate command is converted with decimal point

(11) When custom macro block exit before executing stop command

(M00, M01, M02, M30, M99), executing stop command (M00,

M01, M02, M30, M99) is not converted.

(12) When M98 block exit before executing stop command (M00,
