4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-63924EN/01 GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS The warning and caution below provide the precautions related to the use of a CNC. It is essential that these precautions be observed by users to ensure the safe operation of machines equipped with a CNC. WARNING 1 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. 2 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first checking the operation of the machine. Before starting the machine, ensure that the settings are correctly made, including the program values, compensation, current position, and external signals. 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. 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 come under unexpected load, 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. s-2

5 B-63924EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION NC programs, parameters, and macro variables are stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Usually, they are retained even if the power is turned off. Such data may be deleted by malfunction, however, or it may prove necessary to delete all data from nonvolatile memory as part of error recovery. To guard against the occurrence of the above, and assure quick restoration of deleted data, backup all vital data, and keep the backup copy in a safe place. NOTE 1 The operator's manual for Basic Operation Package 2 describes all the basic functions of the CNC, 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 2. 2 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. s-3

233 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION 3 CUSTOMIZATION This chapter describes how to customize Basic Operation Package

234 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ OVERVIEW OF CUSTOMIZATION Basic Operation Package 2 allows you to customize the following items: Basic customization a) Screen position and size b) Operation key layout and the number of buttons c) Function and mode key assignment Operation-related customization a) Operation key color, caption, and icon b) Navigation definition (Screen configuration, transition, and the system of key operations, such as on-screen operations) Customizing child screens a) Background color, font, and icon b) Displayed data and its scope c) Data display layout Customizing the status bar a) Display item b) Color Customizing the message display area a) Color Customizing the PMC status display area a) Color These items have been implemented as definition files in plain text format. Editing these files amounts to customization; that is, you can specify what applications look like, what they display or do not display, how they are operated, and whether to hide screens. In addition to the customization of screen displays and operation systems mentioned above, you can customize the performance of DNC operations

235 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION 3.2 CUSTOMIZATION FILES Each definition file is saved in the Definition folder within the folder where the package has been installed. The Definition folder contains two folders, FANUC_VGA and FANUC_XGA, just after the installation of the package. The folders on this level in the folder hierarchy are called screen definition file folders. Each screen definition file folder has subfolders as shown below. Each definition file is held in a subfolder. NOTE When customizing definition files: Make a copy of the FANUC_VGA or FANUC_XGA folder under a different folder name within the Definition folder. Edit the definition files in the new folder. To use Basic Operation Package 2, select the copied folder on the [Folder Select Setting] screen. If these rules are not followed, it is likely that Basic Operation Package 2 may fail to operate normally or what you edited may be lost when the package is re-installed

236 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 The definition file used in basic customization is: folder-where-basic-operation-package-2-is-installed\definition\ screen-definition-file-folder\init\config.xml However, do not edit directly the config.xml file. Instead, make changes by following the procedure described in Section 3.3 BASIC CUSTOMIZATION. NOTE This file does not exist just after installation. The definition file used in operation-related customization is stored in the folder: folder-where-basic-operation-package-2-is-installed\definition\ screen-definition-file-folder\navidef\ In the standard configuration, this folder contains the following files. You can create files under arbitrary names. File name Summary navidefh_op.xml Definition file for horizontal operation keys on user level 1 navidefv_op.xml Definition file for vertical operation keys on user level 1 navidefh.xml Definition file for horizontal operation keys on user level 2 navidefv.xml Definition file for vertical operation keys on user level 2 These files are called navigation files. For details, see Section 3.4, OPERATION-RELATED CUSTOMIZATION. The definition file used in customizing the status bar, message display area, and PMC status display area is: folder-where-basic-operation-package-2-is-installed\definition\ screen-definition-file-folder\init\status.xml For details of the status.xml file, see Section 3.6, CUSTOMIZING THE STATUS BAR, Section 3.7, CUSTOMIZING THE MESSAGE DISPLAY AREA, and Section 3.8, CUSTOMIZING THE PMC STATUS DISPLAY AREA

237 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION The definition file used in customizing child screens is stored in the folder: folder-where-basic-operation-package-2-is-installed\definition\ screen-definition-file-folder\screen\ In the standard configuration, this folder contains the following files. You can create files under arbitrary names (with some exceptions). File name Corresponding child screen absolute.xml Absolute position display screen absolute2.xml Absolute position display screen2 alarmhist.xml Alarm History screen alarmmsg.xml Alarm screen allpos.xml Overall Position display screen block.xml Block screen custommacro.xml Custom Macro screen custommacro16.xml Custom Macro screen Note: This file cannot be renamed. dataio.xml Data I/O screen diagnoseall.xml Diagnosis screen distance.xml Distance to go display screen dncmoni.xml DNC Operation Monitor screen dncschedule.xml DNC Schedule Setting screen dncsubprg.xml DNC Sub Program Call Setting screen handy.xml Handy screen machine.xml Machine position display screen mdiprog.xml MDI Program screen modal.xml Modal screen operator.xml Operator Message screen paramall.xml Parameter screen pitch.xml Pitch screen pmcalarm.xml PMC Alarm screen pmccounter.xml PMC Counter screen pmcdata.xml PMC Data screen pmckeeprelay.xml PMC Keep Relay screen pmcstatus.xml PMC Status screen pmctimer.xml PMC Timer screen progcheck.xml Program Check screen progedit.xml Program Edit screen relative.xml Relative position display screen relative_absolute.xml Relative-absolute position display screen relative2.xml Relative position display screen 2 relative3.xml Relative position display screen 3 settimer.xml Timer screen speed.xml Actual Speed screen sysconf.xml System Configuration screen tooloffset.xml Tool Offset screen tooloffset_mtypea.xml Tool Offset screen (machining memory type A) Note: This file cannot be renamed. tooloffset_mtypeb.xml Tool Offset screen (machining memory type B) Note: This file cannot be renamed

239 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION 3.3 BASIC CUSTOMIZATION The [Setup] screen can be used for the basic customization of overall screen layout. This screen allows you to customize: Screen position and size Operation key layout Number of buttons Function key assignment Press the function key and then the submenu key to display the [Enter Password] screen. After entering your password, click the <OK> button. The [Setup] screen appears. See Section 2.7, CONFIGURATION, for explanations about most of the items that can be specified on this screen. Section 3.3 focuses on the items to be set up and the Detail button in the Operation group box on one of the user level tabs

240 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 The screen configuration and operation system can be defined separately for each user level. Open the user level tab that corresponds to the level you want to set up or change. <Operation group box> This box allows you to set up key control (array of operation keys) layout, size (thickness), the number of buttons in key controls, and the navigation definition file corresponding to the key controls. Selecting key controls (check box) Turning on key control check boxes causes the corresponding key controls to appear on the screen. Up to 4 key controls can be displayed. Layout This item allows you to specify where to place each key control. A key control can be placed by making it tangential to one of 4 sides (top, bottom, left, and right sides) of the screen. In assigning sides, a key control having a lower number has precedence over the other key controls. Assuming the bottom and left sides are assigned, respectively, to key control keys 1 and 2, for example, key control 1 first occupies the bottom side, and key control 2 is placed tangentially to the left side above key control 1. Assuming the left and bottom sides are assigned, respectively, to key control keys 1 and 2, for example, key control 1 first occupies the left side, and key control 2 is placed tangentially to the bottom side at the right of key control 1. Buttons This item allows you to specify how many operation keys are to be displayed in each key control. Up to 16 buttons per key control can be displayed

241 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Thickness This item allows you to specify the thickness of each key control in pixels. <Detail> button This item allows you to specify the width of each placed button and the intervals between the buttons. Click a <Detail> button. The [Button size Setting] screen corresponding to the clicked button appears as shown below. This screen allows you to specify the width of each button separately. - Size Type Fixed Auto The size of the button is fixed. It is a size (in pixels) specified in [Fixed Size]. The size of the button is automatically determined. This size is obtained by subtracting the total size of Fixed buttons from the overall key control size and dividing the difference by the number of the Auto buttons. - Margin This item allows you to specify both ends of key controls and button-to-button spacing in pixel units. File and Start Action These items allow you to specify the name of the navigation definition file that specifies the action of key controls and the name of the action to begin with. They are detailed in the next chapter

242 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 <Detail Setting> button Clicking this button opens the following screen. This screen allows you to specify what action is to take place when a function key or a mode key (on the MDI panel) is pressed. Function keys This item allows you to associate each of the function keys on the CNC and those ([F1] to [F12] and [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F3] to [F11]) on the PC keyboard with the processing that is performed when a particular key control button displayed on the screen is clicked. You specify a key control number (0 to 3) and a button number (0 or greater) in the key control. Note that unlike the function keys on the PC, the soft keys in a horizontal array on the CNC are arranged in the sequence: [F11], [F1], [F2],..., [F10], and [F12]. In addition, [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F3] corresponds to VF1, [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F4] corresponds to VF2, and so on, that is, [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F11] corresponds to VF9. They correspond to the soft keys on the MDI panel, which correspond to the soft keys in a vertical array

243 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Mode keys The <POSITION>, <PROGRAM>, <SETTING>, <SYSTEM>, and <MESSAGE> buttons on the MDI panel of the CNC are called mode keys. A set of functions assigned to these buttons is known as mode. They correspond to numeric keys 1 to 5 on the numeric key pad of the PC. This item allows you to specify what part of the navigation definition file is to be executed when one of these keys is pressed. The mode keys and numeric keys are associated as listed below. POSITION key PROGRAM key SETTING key SYSTEM key MESSAGE key 1 (numeric key) 2 (numeric key) 3 (numeric key) 4 (numeric key) 5 (numeric key) - File This item allows you to specify a navigation definition file. - ConfDef This item allows you to specify the ConfDef name of the navigation definition file for the key control to which the mode is assigned. This information becomes that part of the navigation definition file which specifies the way key control buttons are arranged. - ColPart This item allows you to specify the colpart name in the above mentioned ConfDef in the navigation definition file corresponding to the key control to which the mode is assigned. This information becomes that part of the navigation definition file which indicates the set of buttons in the specified key control. - FuncDef This item allows you to specify the Funcdef name of the navigation definition file defining the display and action of the mode. This information becomes that part of the navigation definition file which specifies the action of a button in the set of the buttons in the specified key control. - KeyCtrl and Buttons These items allow you to specify a key control number (0 o 3) to which the mode is assigned and which button (the index attribute value, a button element) has been clicked. These button numbers exclude the select (selbtn) button from the specified button group. This way, these items are used to specify the items in the navigation definition file. For details, see Section 3.4, OPERATION-RELATED CUSTOMIZATION

244 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ OPERATION-RELATED CUSTOMIZATION The operation systems of Basic Operation Package 2 are defined in the Navigation Definition File. This file is a plain text file. Editing the file can customize the appearance, such as color, caption, and icon, of each button belonging to a key control, and a combination of processes that are performed when the button is clicked. Navigation definitions are written in XML format. The XML coding rules are usually laid down using schemes. In Basic Operation Package 2, XML schemes are provided in the navi.xsd file in the navidef folder. In applications, the contents of the file are checked according to the schemes. If any coding is incorrect, an error message is displayed. Which navigation definition in which file is to be used is specified with the File and Start Action items for each key control. These items are on the Operation tab of the [Setup] screen. NOTE Use the Unicode to write navigation definitions in XML format

245 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Navigation Definition File Configuration This subsection describes settings written as navigation definitions. Each navigation definition file is placed in the navidef folder within the same folder as for the application of interest. The contents of the file can be grouped into the 5 major categories shown below. Overall configuration confs funcs scrns Grouping of buttons in each key control Display and action definitions of each button Definitions of the configuration of the screen called by clicking a button textstyle colors Caption font specification Color specification confs This item allows you to specify how to group buttons in each key control. You can group buttons, for example, as follows: 5 as mode keys Total of 12 buttons 1 for switching displays and operations 6 for submenus and operation menus funcs This item allows you to define the details of diverse functions to be associated with each group mentioned above. Navigation definitions prepared using funcs are of primary importance. scrns A child screen opened by clicking a button can be displayed in combination with other child screens. For example, a combination of a position display child screen, speed display child screen, and modal information display child screen can form a single display screen. This item allows you to define the name and configuration (names, display positions, and sizes of contained child screens) of the display screen. The type of child screens to be opened by clicking a button is specified using this screen name. textstyles This item allows you to specify the display styles of text used in this definition. colors This item allows you to specify the colors used in this definitions

246 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ confs Definition confs tag definition example (navidefh.xml) <confs> <bop2:comment>configuration definition</bop2:comment> <confdef bop2:name="func"> <sglpart bop2:name="switch"> <ref>nopswitch</ref> </sglpart> <colpart bop2:name="sub"> <count>11</count> <ref>positionmenu</ref> </colpart> </confdef> </confs> In this example, there is only one group definition (confdef tag). It is set up under the name of standard. On the Operation tab of the [Setup] screen, the target key control can be specified as a start action as shown below. In addition, the total number (count tag) of buttons defined in each colpart tag is set up as [Buttons]. The group setting consists of an 11-button group called sub and a single-button group called switch. The groups are set up starting at the left in the order in which they are defined. switch sub 11 buttons The ref tag in each group (colpart tag) or a single button (sglpart tag) indicates the funcdef tag name that is initially assigned to it

247 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION funcs Definition The funcs tag is intended to hold more than one funcdef tag that is in charge of group-specific definition. Given below is an example of an actual funcdef tag defining displays and actions in a group. funcdef: Defining displays and actions in a group <funcs> <funcdef bop2:name="systemmenu" bop2:usage="normal" bop2:onload="true"> <colbtn bop2:selected="0"> <selbtn bop2:location="10" bop2:seltype="upcycle" bop2:step="0" bop2:pointer="0"> : Omitted </selbtn> <button bop2:index="0" bop2:type="toggle"> : Omitted ( Parameter data) </button> <button bop2:index="1" bop2:type="toggle"> : Omitted ( Diagnosis data) </button> : Omitted <button bop2:index="10" bop2:type="toggle"> : Omitted ( PMC data data) </button> </colbtn> </funcdef> </funcs> In this example, the funcdef tag has the name systemmenu. Because its usage attribute is normal, its display and action follow the navigation definition as usual. (What occurs if this value is import is explained later.) The onload attribute is a flag indicating whether to perform the action of the button selected as the initial display of the funcdef tag. The colbtn tag defines a group. Buttons in a group are categorized by function into two major types; that is, select buttons specified in selbtn tags and general buttons. The above definition example contains one selbtn tag (one select button), and its position is specified as tenth, using the location attribute of the selbtn tag. To put it another way, the tenth button is a select button. The other buttons are general buttons. The type attribute defines the type of a button as follows:

248 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 Value Type Summary invisible string Specifies to hide keys. push string Specifies pushbuttons. Only the off state of the display and action definitions is used. toggle string Specifies toggle buttons. Both the on and off states exist. If buttons are set up for the group sub mentioned in Subsection 3.3.2, grouping is as shown below. Select button General buttons In the above figure, the button [PARAM], whose index attribute in the button tag is 0, is at the leftmost position among all general buttons because its pointer attribute in the selbtn tag is 0. In addition, because the selected attribute in the colbtn tag is 0, the button [PARAM], whose index attribute in the button attribute is 0, is colored with the ON setting color and stays selected. For general toggle buttons, one of them is always kept in the ON state. In other words, when one toggle button is clicked to ON, the toggle button that has already been ON is automatically reset to OFF. Clicking a select button can change the setting of general buttons (assign the button tag). In the colbtn tag, it is possible to define more button tags than the number of buttons actually set up in a group. The extra button tags are assigned to general buttons by clicking the select button. In the above example, 11 button tags are defined for 10 general buttons. The following figures show how button displays change when the select button is clicked. Select button Initial display state Display after the select button is clicked In this case, a general button whose index attribute in the button tag is higher is selected when the select button is clicked because its seltype attribute in the selbtn tag is upcycle. In addition, as many button tags as the number of general buttons are specified because the step attribute in the selbtn tag is 0. The step attribute can range between 0 and 15. If it is nonzero, the assignment of as many button tags as the step attribute value is re-set

249 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Now let us explain the button tag, which defines an individual button in a group. For example, the [POSITION] button is defined as follows: <funcs> funcdef tag funcdef tag : <button bop2:index="0" bop2:type="toggle"> <status>false</status> <off> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message> MSG_KEY_PARAM </message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>submenu_off</colorref> <image>paramctl.ico</image> <action> : Omitted </action> </off> <on> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message> MSG_KEY_PARAM </message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>submenu_on</colorref> <image>paramctl.ico</image> <action /> </on> </button> : </funcs> In this example, this button is defined as a toggle type. The fact that the status tag is false means that the initial display of the button is OFF when it is not selected. If the initial display of the button is OFF, the caption of the button is obtained from a character string resource in a resource file, and language-specific labeling is also supported. As defined in the caption tag, the resource tag is set with a resource name, and the message tag, with a resource ID. The background color of the button is a color having the definition name submenu_on defined with colors, and the displayed label is an icon called Paramctl.ico. It stays displayed

250 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 This is true also if the initial display is ON. caption element image element colorref element

251 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION funcdef: Defining a single button <funcs> : <funcdef bop2:name="switch_sys" bop2:usage="normal" bop2:onload="true"> <button bop2:type="toggle"> <status>false</status> <off> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message>msg_key_operat</message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>switching</colorref> <image /> <action> : Omitted </action> </off> <on> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message>msg_key_display</message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>switching</colorref> <image /> <action> : Omitted </action> </on> </button> </funcdef> : </funcs> Single buttons can be either ON or OFF regardless of the state of other buttons. The other ways single buttons are used are the same as for buttons in a group. Its button tag is defined right below the funcdef tag

252 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 action: opbfnc (switching button displays) <funcs> : <funcdef bop2:name="switch_sys" bop2:usage="normal" bop2:onload="true"> <button bop2:type="toggle"> <status>false</status> <off> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message>msg_key_operat</message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>switching</colorref> <image /> <action> <opbfnc> <confname>func</confname> <target>sub</target> <name>import</name> </opbfnc> </action> </off> <on> <caption> <resource>m_main</resource> <message>msg_key_display</message> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>switching</colorref> <image /> <action> <opbfnc> <confname>func</confname> <target>sub</target> <name>systemmenu</name> </opbfnc> </action> </on> </button> </funcdef> : </funcs>

253 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION This example specifies that the funcdef tag corresponding to a button in the group sub be changed from systemmenu to import if the display state is changed from OFF to ON and from import to systemmenu if the display state is changed from ON to OFF. Clicking this button causes the following displays to appear. Definitions corresponding to the group sub are switched. Under this condition, the setting of systemmenu is displayed. Button to be clicked After the button is clicked, the setting of import is displayed. Button to be clicked action: opscrn (starting a child screen) <funcs> : : </funcs> <action> <opbfnc> <confname>func</confname> <target>switch</target> <name>switch_sys</name> </opbfnc> <opscrn> <name>sys_prm</name> </opscrn> </action> In the above example, a child screen is displayed according to the scrndef tag called sys_prm

254 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 action: opcmnd (executing a command) <funcs> : : </funcs> <action> <opcmnd> <command>setup</command> </opcmnd> </action> In the above example, the [Setup] screen is started in response to a command name of setup. This way, defining command names listed below can start a wide range of operations. Command name fmcls fmsel Description Closes all currently displayed child screens. Switches active child screens. None Parameter 1 (for specifying the name of a child screen to be activated) setup Starts the [Setup] screen. None lngsel Switches display None languages. exit Exits BOP2. None selfolder Selects a reference folder. None aboutdisp Displays a dialog for None BOP2 version information. cncsel Gives focus to the CNC None select combo box. keydisp Executes display switching for a specified key control. 1 (the index of the target key control, starting at number 0, is set up.) Operating commands on child screens requires setting the usage attribute in the funcdef tag to import. Use the following definitions

255 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION import: Dependence on child screens <funcs> : <funcdef bop2:name="import" bop2:usage="import" bop2:onload="false"> <colbtn bop2:selected="0"> <selbtn bop2:location="10" bop2:seltype="upcycle" bop2:step="0" bop2:pointer="0"> <off> <caption> <en><=></en><ja> </ja> </caption> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>switching</colorref> <image /> <action /> </off> </selbtn> <button bop2:index="0" bop2:type="toggle"> <status>false</status> <off> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>operatemenuoff</colorref> </off> <on> <textstyle>default</textstyle> <colorref>operatemenuon</colorref> </on> </button> </colbtn> </funcdef> : </funcs> This example shows that setting the usage attribute in the funcdef tag for a button to import causes the display and operation of the button to be interlocked with the child screen that has focus at present. In this example, a select button is defined for switching purposes because the child screen has more commands than the number of general buttons. When a general button is clicked, only the display color is specified because the caption and operation of the button depend on the child screen. Select button Command names (general buttons) are displayed. The commands that are actually displayed and operated are listed in Subsection 2.1.2, "Key Controls and Screen Transition". See Chapter 2, OPERATION, for explanations about how to operate them

256 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ scrns Definition The scrns tag is intended to hold more than one scrndef tag, which is a definition of the display configuration of a child screen. Shown below is an example of the scrndef tag. scrndef: Defining the configuration of child screen displays <scrns> : <scrndef bop2:name="pos_all"> <form bop2:name="allpos"> <location> <left>0</left> <top>0</top> </location> <size> <width>370</width> <height>336</height> </size> </form> <form bop2:name="modal"> <location> <left>370</left> <top>0</top> </location> <size> <width>265</width> <height>168</height> </size> </form> <form bop2:name="speed"> <location> <left>370</left> <top>168</top> </location> <size> <width>265</width> <height>168</height> </size> </form> </scrndef> : </scrns>

257 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION This scrndef tag has a definition name of pos_all. This example specifies to display three child screens. Their names are defined as allpos, modal, and speed. These names match the respective child screen definition file names in the screen folder except that the child screen names have no file extension (.xml). The child screen definitions correspond to files on a one-to-one basis. Their contents are described later. These definitions specify to display these three screens. The left and top tags specify, respectively, the positions of the left and top sides of the parent screen in the child screen display area. The width and height tags specify, respectively, the width and height of a child screen in pixels. In this definition example, allpos, modal, and speed represent, respectively, the [Overall Position], [Modal], and [Actual Speed] screens.

258 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ textstyles Definition The textstyles tag is intended to hold more than one textstyle tag, which is a definition of the display style of text. Given below is an example of the textstyle tag. textstyle: Defining the font of text displays <textstyles> : <textstyle bop2:name="sample_text"> <textalign>topleft</textalign> <font> <name>ms Ming-style type</name> <style>bold_italic</style> <size>10</size> <colorref>samplecolor</colorref> </font> </textstyle> : </textstyles> This textstyle tag is called sample_text. Specify this name if the button tag actually uses the text display style. The textalign tag allows you to define the location of the corresponding text in the key control. Its values are listed below. Value Type Summary TopLeft string Top left section of the display area TopCenter string Top middle section of the display area TopRight string Top right section of the display area MiddleLeft string Middle left section of the display area MiddleCenter string Center of the display area MiddleRight string Middle right section of the display area BottomLeft string Bottom left section of the display area BottomCenter string Bottom middle section of the display area. BottomRight string Bottom right section of the display area The font tag allows you to define the font and text color to be used. The name tag allows you to specify what font to use. The specified font must previously be installed in the PC to be used. The style tag allows you to specify a font style. See the following table for explanations about the values of the tag. Value Type Summary regular string Regular style bold string Bold italic string Italic bold_italic string Bold italic

259 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION The size tag allows you to specify a font size, using a number in points. The colorref tag allows you to specify the display color of text. For the value of this tag, specify the colortype tag name, using a character string. The above display example corresponds to the following portion in a black frame colors Definition The colors tag is intended to hold more than one color tag, which is used to define color. Given below is an example of using the color tag. colors: Defining a font for text to be displayed <colors> : <color bop2:name="mainmenu_off"> <red>120</red> <green>160</green> <blue>96</blue> </color> <color bop2:name="mainmenu_on"> <red>88</red> <green>168</green> <blue>96</blue> </color> : </colors> These color tags are called mainmenu_off or mainmenu_on. These names are used to specify a color from the button tag. RGB color values are used to specify colors. The red, green, and blue tags correspond, respectively, to red, green, and blue components. Specify them using a number between 0 to

260 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ CUSTOMIZING CHILD SCREENS Basic Operation Package 2 allows the display position and size of child screens to be determined according to navigation. However, screen displays are configured by referencing information in files defining the respective child screens. For this reason, the information in definition files can be used to customize the aspects, such as display information, layout, and background color, of the screen. Child screens can be customized as shown above

261 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Definition Files and XML Schemas In Basic Operation Package 2, definition files in XML format describe the type and scope of data displayed on screens, its display format (such as layout, font, and background color) for each display form separately. When a form is started, its screens are configured according to data in the definition files. For this reason, rewriting the definition files can customize screens. Data and its format in a definition file are specified using XML schemas (rules and syntax) held in the same folder as for the definition file. When a form is started, its definitions are checked for consistency according to the XML schemas. Concretely, an error occurs when the form is started unless its definition files have been written correctly according to XML schemas. The following subsections of this section explain what is written in XML schemas, using some examples. NOTE Use the Unicode to create definition files in XML format

262 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ Definition Data All child screens have their own names. These names are used to call them. Each child screen has a definition file identified with the screen name plus an extension (.xml). Definitions are held in the definition file. Definition data consists of a common definition part (for specifying the operations of the child screen) and a page definition part (for specifying data to be displayed on the child screen). Common datatype target timer titlebar p ages backcolor controlbase Reflected on all page definitions (if omitted, system default data is used) pp p age age p age p age label label label image backcolor controlbase Reflected on all data_series tag definitions data_series data_series data_series s_no data data data e_no controlbase controlbase Reflected on all data tag definitions

263 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION Common Definition Part This part defines the type of data displayed on the child screen, the number of the connected CNC, intervals at which displays are updated, whether to display a title bar, and a caption used if the title bar is displayed. <formcommon> <datatype>f_param</datatype> <target>0</target> <timer > <interval>1000</interval> </timer> <titlebar bop2:enabled="false"> <text>parameter</text> </titlebar> </formcommon> The above example indicates: The child screen is the [Parameter] screen, the CNC to be connected is CNC No. 0 (corresponding to CNC1 on the connection tab in Basic Operation Package 2 configuration definitions), the screen update interval (at which the screen is updated (if necessary) with data obtained from the CNC) is 1 second (in ms units), a title bar is displayed, and the caption on the title bar is Parameter. (Note: The CNC to be connected may be specified as variable according to navigation definitions.) datatype This item allows you to define the type of child screens to be displayed. The definition must be in plain text format. It determines the type of child screens. The following table lists datatype tag definitions and the corresponding child screens. Child screen name datatype tag value Position display screen f_position Modal screen f_modal Actual Speed screen f_speed Program Check screen f_progcheck Program block screen f_block Program Edit screen f_progedit MDI Program screen f_mdiprog DNC Operation Monitor screen f_dncmonitor DNC Schedule Setting screen f_dncschedule DNC Sub Program Call Setting screen f_dncsubprg Handy screen f_handy Timer screen f_settimer Tool Offset screen f_tooloffset

In the standard definition state, this definition is ignored because the CNC to be connected is synchronized with the display on the status bar. Enabling the definition f a CNC to be connected requires switching definitions in the navigation definition file. timer - interval The interval tag allows you to define a timer update interval in ms units. No timer-interval definition is valid on the [Program Edit], [MDI Program], [System Configuration], [DNC Sub Program Call Setting], and [DNC Schedule Setting] screens because no timer-triggered update is performed on these screens. titlebar bop2:enabled The enabled attribute allows you to specify whether to display the title bar of the child screen, using the keyword true or false. If the attribute is omitted, it is assumed as false (default). Whether to display the title bar enabled attribute definition Display true Hide false titlebar - text The text tag allows you to define the caption of a child screen title bar. The caption can be entered either directly in this tag or selected from text in a resource file. For details, see Subsection , text definitions

265 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION text definitions The text tag allows you to define a caption to be displayed. The following two methods can be used to define captions. 1. Directly defining a caption in the text tag <text>overall Position Display</text> By this method, you can define a caption directly in the text tag. The caption is fixed even when display languages are switched. If you want to have captions fixed, use this method. If you need to switch display languages, use method Specifying a caption, using text from a resource file <text> </text> <resource>m_pos</resource> <message>msg_pos_title_ovr</message> You can get text from a resource file and use it as a caption. The resource file contains text supporting different languages. This definition method supports language switching. Method 1 takes precedence if the text tag contains directly defined text

266 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/ Display Definition Part For a certain screen, the display definition part can contain more than one page. Each of the pages can be selected, using the PGUP, PGDN, and PGSEL commands assigned to soft keys. This definition contains a label, an icon, and a sequence of data. The data sequence can consist of two or more pieces of data. Details of child screen customization Label custom (any text can be displayed) Title bar (whether to display the title bar can be specified, and a caption can be specified) Icon (an arbitrary image can be used) An arbitrary number of labels, icons, and CNC data items can be placed on the screen, and the position and size of each element can be specified. CNC data (layout can be specified at your discretion, the table pattern is determined according to the data type, and data writing is handled by a method started from an automatic scan key, using a timer whose interval value can be specified) Write definitions to a file in XML format

267 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION label definitions The label tag is used to display an arbitrary character string on the screen. <label> </label> <text>parameter (Setting Page)</text> <textalign>middlecenter</textalign> <font> <name>ms Gothic</name> <style>bold</style> <size>16</size> <forecolor> <red>10</red> <green>11</green> <blue>12</blue> </forecolor> </font> <backcolor> <red>144</red> <green>144</green> <blue>160</blue> </backcolor> <location> <left>176</left> <top>136</top> </location> <size> <width>296</width> <height>40</height> </size> text This item allows you to define text displayed as a label.

339 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION 3.9 CUSTOMIZING DNC OPERATION This section explains how to customize DNC operation. The priority of transfer threads in DNC operation can be adjusted to the environment of your PC. Procedure 1 If the [DNC detail setting] screen is currently not displayed, display the [DNC detail setting] screen as described in Subsection , "Setting a CNC to be connected"

340 3.CUSTOMIZATION B-63924EN/01 Explanation The following items can be customized. Priority NC programs for DNC operation are transferred, using Windows subthreads. This item allows you to specify the priority of a Windows thread, using a round-robin scheduling method. The lower the priority is, the shorter execution time is allowed for transfer threads; however, the response of the user interface will not be impaired. To the contrary, the higher the priority is, the longer execution time is allowed for transfer threads; however, the response of the user interface becomes lower. Interval for DNC start This item allows you to specify the interval at which checks are made for DNC operation requests issued from the CNC to the PC. The thread is kept sleeping for the time (in ms units) specified with this item since a check made for a DNC operation request. After the specified interval elapses, the thread checks for another DNC operation request. The smaller this interval is, the higher is the response to a DNC operation request from the CNC; however, the response of the user interface becomes lower. Interval for DNC This item allows you to specify the interval at which NC programs are transferred. The thread is kept sleeping for the time (in ms units) specified with this item after the operation buffer becomes full with received NC programs. After the specified interval elapses, the thread starts transferring NC programs. The smaller this interval is, the higher is the NC program transfer speed (depending on what NC program is transferred, though); however, the response of the user interface becomes lower. Ignore M02, M30 and % Some CAD systems create NC programs that are suffixed automatically with M02, M30, or %. This function enables scheduled operation to be performed without modifying such NC programs. Turning on the check box of this item causes M02, M30, and % in NC programs to be converted to spaces during scheduled operation before the programs are transferred to the CNC. After the end of the last program transfer in the schedule, the last M code that was converted to a space is transferred. The range of programs subjected to conversion to spaces is specified using Character count from top of file to stop check and Character count from end of file to start check, both of which are explained later. This setting does not affect subprogram call operation. Character count from top of file to stop check

341 B-63924EN/01 3.CUSTOMIZATION This item allows you to specify how many characters are to be subjected to conversion from M02, M30, and % to spaces, using the number of characters counted from the beginning of the program if Ignore M02, M30 and % is enabled. This is intended to prevent % at the beginning of the program from being sent. This setting does not affect subprogram call operation. Character count from end of file to start check This item allows you to specify how many characters are to be subjected to conversion from M02, M30, and % to spaces, using the number of characters counted from the end of the program if Ignore M02, M30 and % is enabled. This is intended to prevent auxiliary function codes and % at the end of the program from being sent. This setting does not affect subprogram call operation. Notify DNC reset/stop request If the CNC issues a reset/stop request during DNC operation, the following message appears: Output DNC operation log files Turning on the check box of this item causes the status of DNC operation to be written to a file during scheduled or subprogram call operation. Using this function lowers the performance of DNC operation. The log file is directed to the dnclog subfolder in the folder where Basic Operation Package 2 is installed

360 B.CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES APPENDIX B-63924EN/01 B CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES This appendix explains the method of modifying message character strings displayed on the screens of Basic Operation Package 2. With Basic Operation Package 2, display messages are stored in a file called a resource DLL (dynamic link library) in binary format. The actual file name is Bop2.resources.dll. The resource DLL is a file required for each display language (culture). By modifying an existing resource DLL, the display messages can be modified. Moreover, a resource DLL can be created for a new display language. CAUTION When creating a resource DLL, observe the following rules: Copy the FANUC_VGA folder or FANUC_XGA folder held in the Definition folder to within the same Definition folder then assign an arbitrary folder name to the folder produced by copy operation. Edit message files in this folder. When using Basic Operation Package 2, select a folder copied on the [Folder Select Setting] screen. If the above rules are not observed, an abnormal operation can occur, or at the time of reinstallation of Basic Operation Package 2, the results of editing performed so far can be lost

361 B-63924EN/01 APPENDIX B.CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES The flow of resource DLL creation is described below. For resource DLL creation, edit message files and a resource creation batch file with the text editor, then execute the batch file. For details of the files, see the next page.

367 B-63924EN/01 APPENDIX B.CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES B.3 MESSAGE FILE FORMAT The format of a message file is as follows: ; [Keycontrol Definition] (1) MSG_KEY_POS=Position indication (2) MSG_KEY_PROG=Program MSG_KEY_SETTING=Setting MSG_KEY_SYSTEM=System MSG_KEY_MESSAGE=Message : (1) Comment When a semicolon (;) is prefixed to a line, the line is recognized not as a message but as a comment. (2) Message ID and message character string The left side of an equal sign (=) represents a message ID, and the right side represents message text. Describe a message in the language corresponding to the culture name of a file. Assign a message ID that is unique in the file. Use a currently set message ID, regardless of the culture. The following restrictions are imposed: A message file needs to be stored in Unicode format. A space can be used in a message character string. A tab in a character string is ignored. Up to 512 characters can be specified on one line. Code \\ to specify \, and code \n to specify a line feed operation. Example: \10,000 \\10,

368 B.CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES APPENDIX B-63924EN/01 B.4 CREATING A RESOURCE DLL Create a resource DLL according to the procedure described below. A resource DLL needs to be created for each display language (culture). When creating a resource DLL for a new culture, start with step 1. In other cases, start with step 6. CAUTION When creating a resource DLL, observe the following rules: Copy the FANUC_VGA folder or FANUC_XGA folder held in the Definition folder to within the same Definition folder then assign an arbitrary folder name to the folder produced by copy operation. Edit message files in this folder. When using Basic Operation Package 2, select a folder copied on the [Folder Select Setting] screen. If the above rules are not observed, an abnormal operation can occur, or at the time of reinstallation of Basic Operation Package 2, the results of editing performed so far can be lost. Procedure 1 The Definition folder is included in the folder where Basic Operation Package 2 is installed. From the Definition folder, select a screen definition folder for which a resource DLL is to be created, then reference the msg folder under the folder. 2 Edit the language.xml file in the msg folder with the text editor. (When using Explorer, right-click language.xml then choose [Edit]. The editor is started to enable editing.) Add a culture tag to the language.xml file. Specify a culture name as the value of the tag. As the name attribute, specify an arbitrary character string to be displayed on

In the example below, Spanish is added. <languages> <culture name="english">en</culture> <culture name="japanese">ja</culture> <culture name="spanish">es</culture> </languages> 3 Save the language.xml file in Unicode format then quit editing. 4 If there is no folder for a culture to be created, copy the en folder in the msg folder then rename the folder produced by copy operation. For a new folder name to be assigned, see the description of the culture names in Section B.2, "MESSAGE FILE NAMING RULE". 5 Open the txt folder in the folder created in step 4. Then, change all culture name occurrences in the message files and resource creation batch file to a desired culture name. Steps 6 and 7 below explain how to edit a message file. Proceed to step 8 when not editing a message file. 6 From the Definition folder held in the Basic Operation Package 2 installation folder, select a folder including a screen definition file to be edited. From the msg folder in the selected folder, select the txt folder. From this txt folder, select a screen or function message file to be edited. For this selection, see Section B.2, "MESSAGE FILE NAMING RULE". 7 Edit the message file (txt file) with the text editor. (When using Explorer, first select the text file. Next, right-click then choose [Edit], or double-click. The editor is started to enable editing.)

370 B.CREATING MESSAGE LANGUAGE FILES APPENDIX B-63924EN/01 For editing, see Section B.3, "MESSAGE FILE FORMAT". Upon completion of editing, save the file. NOTE Use Unicode as the character code. 8 Edit the resource creation batch file (msg_"culture-name".bat) with the text editor. This file is stored in the same folder that stores the message files. Modify the locations indicated below in the batch file then save the file. Do not modify any other locations other than those indicated SET SET COMPANY="FANUC SET SET DESCRIPTION="FANUC SET SET TRADEMARK="FANUC SET TITLE="Spanish Resources for FANUC BOP2" : Culture : Company name : Character string to be added after "Copyright (C) , FANUC LTD" : Comment : Rightmost number of product version data : Trademark : Explanation 9 Double-click the resource creation batch file to execute the file
