3 B-62994EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and preventing damage to the machine. Precautions are classified into Warnings and Cautions according to their bearing on safety. Also, supplementary information is described as Notes. Read the Warnings, Cautions, and Notes thoroughly before attempting to use the machine. WARNING Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there is a danger of both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged if the approved procedure is not observed. CAUTION Applied when there is a danger of the equipment being damaged, if the approved procedure is not observed. NOTE Notes is used to indicate supplementary information other than Warnings and Cautions. Read this manual carefully, and store it in a safe place.

4 General Warnings and Cautions WARNING 1. Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first checking the operation of the machine. Before starting a production run, ensure that the machine is operating correctly by performing a trial run using, for example, the single block, feedrate override, or machine lock function, or by operating the machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted. Failure to confirm the correct operation of the machine may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user. 2. Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the entered data. Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user. 3. Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the intended operation. Generally, for each machine, there is a maximum allowable feedrate. The appropriate feedrate varies with the intended operation. Refer to the manual provided with the machine to determine the maximum allowable feedrate. If a machine is run at other than the correct speed, it may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user. 4. When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly check the direction and amount of compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user. 5. The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set. Usually, there is no need to change them. When, however, there is no alternative other than to change a parameter, ensure that you fully understand the function of the parameter before making any change. Failure to set a parameter correctly may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

5 B-62994EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION 1. The operator's manual for Basic Operation Package 1 describes all the basic functions of the CNC unit, including the optional functions. The selected optional functions vary with the machine. Some functions described in the manual may not, therefore, be supported by your machine. Check the machine specifications before using Basic Operation Package Some machine operations and screen functions are implemented by the machine tool builder. For an explanation of their usage and related notes, refer to the manual provided by the machine tool builder. For example: On some machines, executing a tool function causes the tool change unit to operate. When executing a tool function on such a machine, stand well clear of the tool change unit. Otherwise, there is a danger of injury to the operator. Many auxiliary functions trigger physical operations, such as rotation of the spindle. Before attempting to use an auxiliary function, therefore, ensure that you are fully aware of the operation to be triggered by that function. NOTE Command programs, parameters, and variables are stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally, the contents of memory are not lost by a power on/off operation. However, the contents of memory may be erased by mistake, or important data in nonvolatile memory may have to be erased upon recovering from a failure. To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible if such a situation arises, always make a backup of the data in advance.

6 Warnings and Cautions Relating to Basic Operation Package 1 Warnings and cautions relating to Basic Operation Package 1 are explained in this manual. Before using the function, read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with the provided Warnings, Cautions, and Notes. On the next page, the points to be noted when Basic Operation Package 1 is used are summarized. These points are not explained in Chapter 1 and the subsequent chapters of this manual. Read this part before attempting to use the function.

7 B-62994EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Important Notice The following summarizes the points to be noted when Basic Operation Package 1 is used. Before attempting to use Basic Operation Package 1, read the following: CAUTION This manual does not explain in detail those operations and parameters that vary from one CNC model to another and which vary with options. For an explanation of such operations and parameters, refer to the relevant CNC manual and the manual supplied by the machine tool builder. This manual describes as many reasonable variations in usage as possible. It cannot address every combination of features, options, and commands that should not be attempted.

201 7. SYSTEM B-62994EN/ Entering different types of data This section describes how to input different types of data. Here, data input means transferring data from Basic Operation Package 1 to the CNC. WARNING When a workpiece is to be machined after input of data (programs, tool offset data, macro variables, and parameters), be sure to check that the programmed values, offset data, current position, and external signals are set correctly before activating the machine. If an error is made in the input data type (for example, macro variable data is entered as parameter data), the subsequent operation will be unpredictable. If an error is made in the input data type, delete all the data entered at that time, then reenter all the required data. NOTE To enter data, establish the same state as that used for manually setting input data. For details, see the following sections: Program input Section 5.1, "Editing a Program" Tool offset input Section 6.3, "Tool Offset Settings" Macro variable input Section 6.4, "Custom Macro Variable Settings" Parameter output Section 7.1, "Setting Parameters" -184-
