56 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) 7.2 SCREEN REGISTRATION AND SETTING OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM Edition Display Screen Immediately after the power to the CNC system is turned on and the system is activated, the operator's touch panel displays the edition display screen (shown below). This screen displays the name and creation date of operator's panel data, and the edition information of the software products related to FAPT PICTURE. When the time set in Edition screen timer (sec) (N8) of [Setting of the entire system (2/4) Setting of global screen] (setting table 2/4) has elapsed after this screen is displayed, the screen display automatically switches to the screen set in Startup screen (G2) of setting table 2/4. If you click the Hold Screen button while this screen is displayed, screen switching is not performed, but the edition display screen continues to be displayed until you click the Operator Panel button. When you click the Operator Panel button in this state, the screen display switches to the screen set in Startup screen (G2). The Data Name/Edition field of this screen displays the data entered in the Data name/edition field at the top of the [Setting of the entire system (1/4) Screen registration] sheet (setting table 1/4). The system sets the other display items. (This function is available with E2.00 and later.)

57 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Screen Switch Menu Basically, one of the screen switch menus shown below is displayed at the right edge of each operator's panel screen. Two types of screen switch menus are available: a 4-button menu that has four screen switch buttons, and a 5-button menu that has five screen switch buttons. Up to four pages can be created for one of the two types of menus. At the lowest part of a screen switch menu, a page switch button is provided. The page switch button enables you to switch between the screen switch menu pages. When you touch a screen switch button on the screen switch menu, the screen assigned to the button is displayed on the operator's panel.

58 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Registering Screens To assign a screen to a screen switch button, register the screen in the [Setting of the entire system (1/4) Screen registration] sheet (setting table 1/4) of FPAssist. In the table of the [Setting of the entire system (1/4) Screen registration] sheet, select (click) a screen switch button (BTN01 to BTN05) with which the screen is to be registered. Then, register the screen with the Create button. For the method of registration, see Section 6.2(1), "Create". When a screen is registered, the screen is assigned to a screen switch button on the screen switch menu, and a work sheet for screen creation is created. If a screen is registered in a spare line (line 21 to line 25) of setting table 1/4, a work sheet is created for the screen, but the screen is assigned to no screen switch button. The figure below shows the correspondence between the [Setting of the entire system (1/4) Screen registration] sheet and the screen switch menu. Whether to use the 5-button menu or 4-button menu is determined by the setting of Switching mode (N1) of the setting table (2/4). The 5-button menu can be used only when the Numerical Value Switching button is not used on each operation screen and the operation display screen. The cycle time setting screen is called from the cycle time measurement screen. So, the cycle time setting screen need not be assigned to a screen switch button of the screen switch menu. Accordingly, set the cycle time setting screen in a spare line (line 21 to line 25) of the [Setting of the entire system (1/4) Screen registration] sheet.

N2 : Set whether to use (1)/not use (0) the screen switch buttons. (When no data is entered, the specification of 0 is assumed.) N3 : Number of pages of screen switch buttons (menu) S32,S40: A comment on the system and individual screens can be entered. S33 : The path to the folder where the template of a standard screen is stored is indicated. When FAPT PICTURE is installed, the template is copied into a specified installation path together with FAPT PICTURE and FPAssist. Usually, AUTO is displayed in this cell of the sheet. In this case, however, the template in the installation path is automatically used. So, usually, the data of this cell need not be changed. Only when a template other than the installed template needs to be used, specify the path to the folder where the template is stored. S30 : Enter the name of an operator's panel and the edition of data. A character string entered here is displayed in the edition display screen that appears on the touch panel screen when the power is turned on. Enter a character string not longer than 30 half-size characters. (This function is available with E2.00 and later.) N4 : By using a number from 0 to 2, specify a language used with a screen to be created. (0: Japanese, 1: English, 2: Polish) In accordance with this setting, the language of screendisplayed characters not entered by the user but output by FAPT PICTURE in a fixed manner is switched. This setting can be changed at any time. (This function is available with E3.00 and later.) NOTE When using FAPT PICTURE of E2.00 or earlier, be sure to define the screens listed below. If a screen is not used, assign the screen to a menu key and set Mode = 0, or set the screen in a spare line. - NC operation screen - counter screen - Fault count screen - Cycle time measurement screen - Cycle time setting screen

61 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Automatic Screen Switching, Initial Screen Setting, etc. - Setting Table (2/4) By setting the names of screens and signal addresses for calling those screens in the automatic screen switching setting area of setting table 2/4, screen display can be switched with a ladder program instruction of the PMC. In automatic screen switching setting table (1), usually, the names of screens for automatic screen switching are already entered. So, set a screen name and calling signal address for each screen. This table has a priority order defined. The buzzer stop screen entered at the top of the table has the highest priority, and lower entries have lower priorities. If multiple calling signals are set to 1 simultaneously, the calling signals are processed according to this priority order. The operation of the operator's panel for each calling signal depends on whether the automatic mode or manual mode is set as described below. The description below, however, does not apply to the buzzer stop screen. - When the automatic mode is set When a calling signal is set to 1, the screen display switches to the screen corresponding to the signal. If multiple calling signals are set to 1 simultaneously, the screen with the highest priority is displayed. When the calling signal for the screen with the highest priority is set to 0 in this state, the screen display switches to the screen with the next priority. - When the manual mode is set If the screen currently displayed is set in the automatic screen switching setting table, and the calling signal for a screen with a higher priority is set to 1, the screen switch button (menu) corresponding to the signal blinks. If multiple calling signals are set to 1 simultaneously, the screen switch button corresponding to the screen with the highest priority blinks. When the calling signal for the screen with the highest priority is set to 0 in this state, the screen switch button corresponding to the calling signal for the screen with the next priority blinks. The calling signal for a screen with a priority lower than the priority of the screen currently displayed is ignored. If the screen currently displayed is not set in the automatic screen switching setting table, the priority of the screen is assumed to be the lowest. - of the buzzer stop screen The buzzer stop screen is called when the calling signal is set to 1, regardless of whether the automatic mode or manual mode is set, and the subscreen shown below is displayed at the center over the current screen. When the calling signal is set to 0, the buzzer stop screen is erased, and the screen display returns to the previous state. If you press the buzzer stop button on the buzzer

62 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) stop screen when the buzzer stop screen is displayed, the buzzer OFF signal is output. This signal continues to be 1 until the calling signal for the buzzer stop screen is set to 0. While the buzzer stop screen is displayed, operations other than the pressing of the buzzer stop button, such as a screen switch operation, are rejected. So, a ladder must be created to ensure that the buzzer stop screen is erased when the buzzer stop button is pressed. Usually, create a PMC ladder so that the calling signal for the buzzer stop screen is set to 1 on the rising edge of an event that causes the buzzer to sound, and is set to 0 when the buzzer OFF signal is output. - of the caution message screen If the actuator button is pressed in a mode other than the manual mode (when manual selection signal = 0), button operation is blocked, and the caution message screen pops up at the center of the screen. This screen disappears when the OK button is pressed. Alternatively, the caution message screen automatically disappears when the time set in Caution screen delete time (sec) of the setting table has elapsed. A message to be displayed in this screen is to be set in Caution message of the setting table. The default is shown below. The display of the caution message screen can be disabled by setting the caution message inhibit signal set at the bottom of the [Popup screen settings] table to 1. To call a user screen or a screen not listed in automatic screen switching setting table (1) from a ladder program, use automatic screen switching setting table (2). From the combo box, select the name of a screen to be called. Next, set the address of the calling signal. Then, by using the column of the order of priority designated signals at the left end of automatic screen switching setting table (2), set the priority of the screen in the priority order set in automatic screen switching setting table (1). The priority

63 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) of the screen is set to follow the priority of the screen selected with the combo box in the column of the order of priority designated signals. Higher entries in automatic screen switching setting table (2) have higher priorities. So, if the same screen name is set more than once in the column of the order of priority designated signals, the higher entries have higher priorities. (The function of automatic screen switching setting table (2) is available with E2.17 and later.) Automatic screen switching setting table (1) The default caution message and default buzzer stop message are as follows: Caution message: Not in MANUAL mode. Buzzer stop message: Touch this button to stop buzzer. Automatic screen switching setting table (2) G1 A1_1 A1_2 A1_3, 4 : Name of a screen to be called automatically : Address of an automatic screen calling signal.

A count signal must have a width of 500 ms or more. Incremented here Count signal > 500 ms Display of tool exchange information When the current value of a counter reaches or exceeds the preforecast or forecast value, the corresponding button is turned on in orange. When the current value of a counter reaches or exceeds the stop value, the corresponding STOP button is turned on in red. At this time, a signal (1) is output to the count-up signal address set for the button. The count-up signal continues to be output while the current value of the counter is equal to or greater than the value set for the button. If 0 is set for all or any of the pre-forecast, forecast, and stop values, the button color does not change and the count-up signal is not output for the item(s) where 0 is set. A STOP button is also turned on in red when a signal is input to the stop turn-on address set for the STOP button. In this case, however, the count-up signal is not output

88 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Resetting of a current value counter The conventional specification specifies that even if 0 is set for all of the pre-forecast, forecast, and stop values, the current value counter performs count operation when the count signal is input. With E3.02 and later, you can choose whether to perform current value count operation or not in such a case. When you touch the name button of a tool in the name column, the button is turned on in orange, indicating that the button is selected. The buttons in the name column are selector switches, so that only one button can be selected at a time. If another button is selected, the selection of the previous button is released. When you touch the selected button again, the button returns to the nonselected state. If you touch the reset button when a name button is selected, the current value of the selected tool is reset to 0. At this time, a 500-ms wide pulse signal (1) is output to the reset notification address set for the selected tool. The current value of a tool can also be reset (on a rising edge) by inputting a signal to the reset request address set for the tool. The same pulse signal is output to the reset notification address in this case as well. The reset request signal must have a width of 500 ms or more. Reset here Reset request signal > 500 ms

When you touch a - button in the INC/DEC column, an incremental value is subtracted from the current value of the corresponding tool. When the current value of a tool reaches a set limit value or greater, the corresponding LIMIT button is turned on in red. At this time, a signal (1) is output to the count-up signal address set for the tool. The count-up signal continues to be output while the current value is equal to or greater than the limit value. If 0 is set for a limit value, the count-up signal is not output. Moreover, the color of the LIMIT button does not change. If a limit value is changed to 0 while the count-up signal is output, the count-up signal is set to 0, and the red color of the LIMIT button disappears. (This function is available with E3.02 and later.)

96 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Display and resetting of a current value Compensation processing When you touch the name button of a tool in the name column, the button is turned on in orange, indicating that the button is selected. The buttons in the name column are selector switches, so that only one button can be selected at a time. If another button is selected, the selection of the previous button is released. When you touch the selected button again, the button returns to the nonselected state. If you touch the reset button while a name button is selected, the current value of the selected tool is reset to 0. With the 18i-LNA, incremental offset operations such as incremental value addition/subtraction, offset value clearing, and determination of whether a limit value is reached are processed using CNC functions. s on the operator's panel screen are converted to a sequence of the offset-related signals of the CNC (INC1 to INC6, +INC, -INC, FINC, OFS0, OMAX), which is then output. So, by assigning CNC input/output addresses (on the M-net interface) to these signals, compensation operations can be processed only between the operator's panel and CNC. If compensation processing needs to be controlled from the PMC, do not directly connect offset-related signals transferred to and from the operator's panel with the CNC, but ensure that those signals are once received and processed by the PMC then are returned to the CNC. In the case of the Power Mate i-lna, ensure that offset-related signals transferred to and from the operator's panel are once received by the PMC, then compensation value I/O input or halt compensation value I/O input is used. For PMC processing, see the ladder diagram of Appendix 2. If a counter operation such as touching a + button, - button, or the reset button on the screen, the screen display cannot be switched from the tool compensation counter screen to another screen and is locked until the offset completion signal or offset clear completion signal is received. (With FAPT PICTURE of E2.00 and later, the screen is not locked even in such a case.) To prevent such a situation from occurring, ensure that the +/- INC signal output from the screen is blocked if a compensation operation is performed manually on the screen while a compensation operation is performed on the PMC. In addition, ensure that PMC ladder processing is performed to return the +/-INC signal as the offset completion signal or offset clear completion signal to the screen

97 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) When two paths are used When the NC is based on the 2-path control specification, this screen is used to control the tool compensation values of both path 1 and path 2. So, this screen allows the setting of up to 4 pages, that is, up to 20 counters. The counter name setting table has a column for specifying to which path a tool belongs. The counter signal setting table allows you to set the addresses of counter operation signals for each of path 1 and path Interlock (available with E3.02 and later) With the interlock signal, manual operation of the tool compensation counter screen can be disabled. While the interlock signal is set to 1, the +/- buttons and the reset button are disabled. Set the interlock signal in the interlock signal address field of [Tool compensation counter screen (2/3) Parameter settings for counter signals]

108 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Counting of the number of faults and measurement of stop time The operator's panel performs processing necessary for display of this screen, such as the counting of the number of faults, measurement of fault time, storing of count values, and calculation of cumulative values. The time from the rising edge of a fault signal set in the [Parameter settings for Fault number list screen] sheet to the rising edge of the timer stop signal is measured as a fault time. Moreover, the number of rising edges of the fault signal is counted as the number of faults. If the fault signal rises again during a fault time, the of a fault is not assumed, but the additional rising edge is ignored. Each signal must have a pulse width of 500 ms or more. Fault time Fault signal Timer stop signal > 500ms Ignored > 500ms The measured values displayed on the screen are stored on the SRAM of the CNC, and are preserved even when the power to the CNC is turned off. The stored measured values can be deleted by setting the alarm counter initialization signal set on the [Setting of the entire system (2/4) Setting of global screen] sheet to ON for the time set in Initialization signal on time of the same sheet or more. The stored measured values can also be deleted by all-clear operation of the SRAM of the CNC. Set the character strings displayed on the second line (TODAY, BEFORE, WEEK) of the title of this screen in the [Setting of the entire system (3/4) Shift information settings] sheet. Depending on one-shift or two-shift setting, the corresponding title is selected and displayed. The default titles are as follows: For one-shift setting: TODAY, BEFORE, 1WEEK For two-shift setting: CURRENT, PREV., 5 SHIFTS

109 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Page switch method Pages as many as the value set in No. of pages of the [Parameter settings for Fault number list screen] sheet are created.

111 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) 7.12 CYCLE TIME MEASUREMENT SCREEN Screen Configuration The cycle time measurement screen enables you to measure cycle times for up to 36 types of operation items and display the latest ten measurement values. Cycle times are measured, regardless of whether this screen is displayed. You can choose a unit of displayed cycle time data between seconds and 0.1 seconds. CYCLE TIME MEASUREMENT LIST 1/3 OPERATION ITEM STD Fault Number Cycle Time Running Status Fault Message STANDARD SET 3/ Edge type operation Processing required to display this screen, such as the measurement of cycle times and the storing of measured values, is performed on the operator's panel. Cycle times are measured on the operator's panel, using the measurement start signals and measurement stop signals set on the [Parameter settings for Cycle time measurement list screen] sheet. Cycle times are measured using one of two types of methods: edge type and level type. One of the types must be selected according to the setting of a measurement type. (This function is available with E3.02 and later.) The time from a rising edge of the measurement start signal to a rising edge of the measurement stop signal is measured. Each of the signals must have a pulse width of 500 ms or more. Each time a new measurement is made, the measured values displayed in columns 1 to 9 are shifted to right, and a newly measured cycle time value is entered in column 1. The measured value that has been displayed in column 10 is discarded

112 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Cycle time Measurement start signal Measurement stop signal > 500ms Measurement start/screen shift Measurement stop > 500ms Level type operation The measurement start, measurement stop, and screen shift operations are the same as for the edge type. However, when the measurement start signal is set to 0 after the start of a time measurement, the time measurement is suspended. The time measurement is restarted when the measurement start signal is set to 1. So, the times during which the measurement start signal is 1 are measured in the period from a rising edge of the measurement start signal to a rising edge of the measurement stop signal. (This function is available with E3.02 and later.) Measurement start/screen shift Measurement suspended Measurement Measurement Measurement start/screen shift Measurement start signal Measurement stop signal > 500ms > 500ms Measurement stop The measured values displayed on this screen are stored in the SRAM of the CNC, and are preserved even when the power to the CNC is turned off.

Alarm codes must be transferred from the PLC/PMC to the operator's panel periodically. If the same alarm code cannot be received even when the time set in Alarm expiration time of [Setting of the entire system (2/4)] has elapsed, the alarm is assumed to be reset. The operator's panel can receive and display up to seven alarm codes at a time. Alarms beyond the first seven alarms are ignored. The alarm code transfer procedure shown below is used. Addresses used for alarm code transfer are to be set in Alarm code address, "Acquired alarm code" signal address, and "Read alarm code" signal address of [Setting of the entire system (2/4)].

128 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) 7.18 FLOW DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN Screen Configuration When an NC or machine fault occurs, the flow diagnostic screen facilitates the determination of the cause and action for correction. By setting a diagnostic message for an alarm or fault beforehand, fault diagnosis can be performed conversationally. This screen is linked with the fault diagnosis function of the CNC. So, when you touch the Diagnosis Graphics or Diagnosis Monitor button, the waveform diagnostic screen of the CNC can be displayed. (FAPT PICTURE of E2.00 and later is needed to use this screen.) S.HOLD [TITLE] [Presumed cause] [FLOW DIAGNOSE MESSAGE] Diagnosis Graphic Diagnosis Monitor FAULT display CYCLE TIME RUN STATUS PREV. FAULT NEXT FAULT YES NO PREV. DETAIL STEP FAULT RESET FAULT FLOW BTN01 BTN02 BTN03 BTN04 BTN05 BTN06 BTN07 3/ Screen function When a 16-bit binary alarm code output from the PMC is received, the message for the same screen number (ALM number) as the received alarm code among the messages set in the table of [flow diagnostic screen (1/4)] is displayed in the TITLE field and Presumed cause field of this screen. An alarm code is received through the PMC address set in the Alarm code address field in the setting table of [Setting of the entire system (2/4)]. Up to seven alarm codes can be received at a time, and an alarm message to be displayed can be selected using the PREV. FAULT or NEXT FAULT button. The FLOW DIAGNOSE MESSAGE area of the screen displays questions (flow diagnostic messages) for identifying the cause of a fault. When you reply to a displayed question with the YES or NO button, the next question appears, depending on whether you replied YES or NO. Thus, a flow diagnosis leading to the identification of the cause of a fault or proper corrective action can be formed. When you touch the PREV. STEP button, you can return to the previous question. Set flow diagnostic messages in the setting table of [Flow diagnostic screen (2/4)]

129 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) For each flow diagnostic message, a detailed description and image data can be registered ([Flow diagnostic screen (3/4)]). When a flow diagnostic message with a detailed description and image data registered is displayed, the DETAIL button on the screen blinks. By touching the DETAIL button at this time, the detailed description screen appears, and a registered image and detailed description are displayed. An image file in the BMP format or JPEG format can be displayed. To each flow diagnostic message, a group of manual buttons can be assigned. One group includes seven buttons. Data such as characters, a color, and PMC address can be set with these buttons as with ordinary manual buttons ([Flow diagnostic screen (4/4)]). Up to 50 groups can be defined. If a button group is assigned to the flow diagnostic message currently displayed on the screen, the seven buttons at the bottom of the screen function as the buttons assigned to the message. This screen can also be used for CNC fault diagnosis. If a CNC alarm is issued, a flow message prepared beforehand for CNC fault diagnosis is displayed. So, the cause of the CNC alarm can be diagnosed as in the case of machine diagnosis. If a displayed CNC flow diagnostic message includes a prompt for checking the servo waveform, touch the Diagnosis Graphic or Diagnosis Monitor button to jump to the CNC waveform diagnostic screen. After checking the waveform on the CNC waveform diagnostic screen, you can return to this screen to continue flow diagnosis. Up to seven alarms, including CNC alarms and machine alarms, can be displayed on this screen at a time. If eight or more alarms are issued at a time, all alarms beyond the first seven alarms are ignored. As a result of CNC alarm diagnosis, you may find that the fault is caused by machine trouble. Considering such a case, a function for calling a machine diagnosis flow from a CNC diagnosis flow is incorporated. For this function, the special message IDs (starting with M) listed below are reserved. So, if the machine tool builder creates a diagnosis flow starting with a special message ID, diagnosis integrating the CNC and machine becomes possible. If no message is assigned to a special message ID, the end of the diagnosis flow is assumed when the special message ID is called. No. Message ID Alarm name 1 M205 Rigid mode DI OFF Presumed cause The rigid mode DI signal (G061.0) is not set to 1 when G84 (G74, G88) is executed

A mechanical collision or twist occurred, resulting in a load torque higher than a normal operation value. A mechanical collision or twist occurred, disabling an axis from reaching a target position. A mechanical collision or twist occurred, disabling an axis from moving. Two axes to be moved synchronously lost mechanical synchronism with each other, resulting in a large torque difference. With a closed-loop machine, a shift occurred between the motion of the motor and the motion of the separate detector for a cause such as a mechanical twist. 8 M436 OVC alarm A mechanical collision or twist occurred, resulting in a large load and the flow of an excessive current. In the future, a message ID to which a jump is made from a CNC diagnosis flow may be added. So, do no use a message ID starting with M which may or may not be included in the table above. In the CNC, servo waveform data is taken into the waveform diagnosis memory at all times. When a servo alarm is issued, the storing of new waveform data is stopped, and the waveform data immediately before the issue of the alarm is preserved in the waveform diagnosis memory. While the storing of waveform data is stopped, the upper-right corner of the screen displays the indicator S.HOLD. This indicator is displayed on any other screens while a menu button is displayed. This indicator disappears when the storing of servo waveform data is resumed. Before restarting operation, clear the data preservation state on the CNC fault diagnostic screen, and check that the indicator has disappeared. If operation is restarted without clearing the data preservation state, servo waveform data is not stored. So, a correct decision cannot be made when an alarm is issued next

131 7.SCREEN CREATION USING THE SCREEN CREATION SUPPORT TOOL (FPAssist) Method of alarm code transfer Alarm codes must be transferred from the PLC/PMC to the operator's panel periodically. If the same alarm code cannot be received even when the time set in Alarm expiration time of [Setting of the entire system (2/4)] has elapsed, the alarm is assumed to be reset. The operator's panel can receive and display up to seven alarm codes at a time. Alarms beyond the first seven alarms are ignored. The alarm code transfer procedure shown below is used.
