GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

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 tool, machine, and/or workpiece,
or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first checking the programmed
value, compensation value, current position, and external signal settings. Also,
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, federate
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.
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 turn at other than the correct speed, unexpected load may be applied
to the machine, possibly causing damage to the tool, machine, and/or workpiece,
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 tool, machine, and/or workpiece, 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. A failure to set a parameter correctly may result in the
machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the tool, machine,
and/or workpiece, or injury to the user.

CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not touch any of the keys on the
MDI unit until the position display or alarm screen appears on the CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to maintenance or other
special operations. Pressing any of these keys may place the CNC unit in other
than its normal state. Starting the machine in this state may cause it to behave
unexpectedly.
2 The operator's manual for the CNC describes all the basic functions of the CNC,
including the optional functions. The selected optional functions vary with the
machine. Some functions described in this manual may not, therefore, be
supported by your machine. Check the machine specifications before using the
optional functions.
3 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.

GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

WARNING
Be careful enough for the following warnings when you develop two or more
applications or use networks.
If you neglect them, there is a danger of the user being injured or there is a danger of
both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged.

WARNING
1 Be careful enough if you write an identical CNC data, an identical PMC data or a
series of related data set by two or more above applications including network
functions. Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other
words, asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the data will be written in
an unexpected order.
Therefore, do NOT write above data in the following cases.
- Applications and network functions
- Two or more applications
- Two or more network functions
Data, applications and network functions of interest are listed in below. However,
all may not be listed completely because new features will be added in the future.
2 Be careful enough that you must prevent PMC signals in the same byte from
being written by the following two or more applications including network
functions. While an application reads and writes one byte of PMC signals, other
applications may write the same byte.

3 Be careful enough if you process a PMC signal set that is related to a CNC
function by using the following two or more applications including network
functions. Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other
words, asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the CNC may receive the
PMC signal set in an unexpected order.

WARNING
4 Generally, when multi-byte data are read or written at once among the following
two or more applications including network functions, the coherency of the read
multi-byte data (in other words, reading all latest data at once) is not guaranteed.
To ensure the coherency of the multi-byte data, prepare flags to notify the
completion of reading or writing process that is separated from the entity of the
data and make the handshaking process to access the data by using the flags.

3 OPC Configurator
This chapter explains the details of OPC Configurator, the setting tool of OPC Server.

Notes on using the functions for the first time

WARNING
Before using the OPC Server, fully understand the instructions written in
"GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT" in
"SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" at the beginning of this manual.
If you start operation before fully understanding them, the machine may behave
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the tool, machine, and/or workpiece,
or injury to the user.

CAUTION
Before performing communication using the OPC Server for the first time, consult
with your network administrator, carefully set a network address and other items,
and conduct communication tests thoroughly. Any error in settings such as a
network address setting can lead to an adverse influence such as a
communication failure on the entire network. Be very careful about any
communication failure. The load on the network may become greater than
expected depending on the performance of the personal computer. Before using
the functions, completely confirm that there is no problem with the entire system
including communication with the personal computer.

CAUTION
1 In the PMC area, the R area, and E area in volatile memory are all set to 0
immediately after power-on.
2 The E area in the PMC area is normally allocated to volatile memory. However, it
can also be used as nonvolatile memory by setting the option.
When the area is used as nonvolatile memory, the contents of the area are
retained even after the power is turned off. So, special attention should be paid
not to cause an unpredictable operation when the power is turned on next time.

The <null> value of CNC

There is a state called <null> for a variable. It means that no value is defined. It is displayed as "DATA
EMPTY" in CNC. The value of "DATA EMPTY" of CNC is indicated as "NULL" by the OPC client.
When writing "DATA EMPTY" to CNC, set the character string "NULL" to the OPC client.

Effective range and display of variable

*1 The available range of custom points that can be written by the FANUC OPC server depends on the value
of parameter F16 (6008#0).
*2 If writing variable values outside the range of (*1) from the OPC client, a message indicating out of range
is displayed in the variable value input field of CNC.
*3 Even if underflow or overflow is displayed, CNC internally holds the value within the stated range.

In case of 30i/31i/32i/35i/0i-D/0i-F/Power Motion i-A. The number of significant digits is 12. (6008#0=0)

NOTE
There was a case that the value read by the OPC client is displayed as an
exponent. It was fixed so that it will not be displayed as an exponent.
