GENERAL WARNINGS AND NOTES

WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrect
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 perform a production run, such as
actually machining a workpiece, without first
checking the operation of the machine. Before
starting the machine for a production run, ensure that
the program command values, offsets, current
position, external signals, and other settings are
suitable for the operation to be performed. Also
check that the machine operates 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 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 factoryset. Usually, there is not need to change them.
When, however, there is not 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-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
B-63994EN/01
CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not
touch any of the keys on the MDI panel 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 and programming manual
supplied with a CNC unit provide an overall
description of the machine's functions, including any
optional functions. Note that the optional functions
will vary from one machine model to another.
Therefore, some functions described in the manuals
may not actually be available for a particular model.
Check the specification of the machine if in doubt.
3 Some functions may have been implemented at the
request of the machine-tool builder. When using
such functions, refer to the manual supplied by the
machine-tool builder for details of their use and any
related cautions. Refer to the following two
examples.
<1> Some machines have a tool replacement
device that operates when a tool feature is
executed. When the user is working near the
device, he or she may touch it. Execute tool
features in a place sufficiently away from the
tool replacement device.
<2> Many auxiliary features cause machine
operation such as rotation of the spindle.
Understand the operations of auxiliary features
before using them.
NOTE
1 Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC unit.
Usually, they are retained even if the power is turned
off. Such data may be delated inadvertently,
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.
2 PROFIBUS-DP cannot be used with DeviceNet.

MASTER FUNCTION SETTING

To use the master function, bus parameters and slave parameters must
be set, and addresses must be assigned.
Bus parameters and slave parameters are used for PROFIBUS
communication. In address assignment, signals for input/output
(DI/DO data and diagnostic data) are assigned to PMC addresses.
The address assignment of slave parameters and diagnostic data is set
for each slave, while the address assignment of DI/DO data is set for
each slave (or each slot).
NOTE
Bus parameters and slave parameters can also be
set by a personal computer. For details on the
settings, see "SETTING BY USING A PERSONAL
COMPUTER" in SUPPLEMENT.

When assigning addresses, keep the following in
mind.
(1) Be sure to use R addresses and E addresses.
For multipath PMC, enter a PMC address in the
following format.
<path-number>:<PMC-address>
For the PMC second path R00500, for example,
"2:R00500" must be entered. When only the
PMC address was entered, the first path
(1:R00500) is assumed.
When there is no : key, it is substituted with the
/ or EOB key.
(2) The DI data area, DO data area, diagnostic data
area, and operation mode display area cannot
overlap each other.
(3) The area assignment area and the area used by
the ladder program cannot overlap each other.
NOTE
1 The number of slots that can be set by this master
function is 48 in all of slave devices. For example, a
maximum of 12 slave devices consisting of four
modules can be connected.
However, even for a slave device consisting of
multiple modules, assignment for each slot is not
required. Assignment for each slot is required only
when a PMC address is assigned for each module
DI/DO.
Even for a slave device consisting of multiple
modules, when DI/DO is treated as a totality, set a
slave device consisting of a module (set NSL to 1).
2 When settings are made as described in "SETTING
BY USING A PERSONAL COMPUTER" in
SUPPLEMENT, NSL (number of slots) must also be
set.

Modules of some input/output devices do not input or output data.

However, such a module is counted as a slot.
Diagnostic data
Diagnostic data consists of standard diagnostic data (first six bytes)
and extended diagnostic data (seventh or later bytes). Some slave
stations use extended diagnostic data. Therefore, the size of
diagnostic data needs to be determined as described in the GSD file
and manual for each slave station.
The first six bytes of standard diagnostic data have the following
meanings.
For details, see the PROFIBUS-DP specification.

UPDATING DI/DO DATA FOR THE MASTER FUNCTION
Relationship with the ladder program

DI/DO data for PROFIBUS is updated not in synchronization with the
execution of the ladder program. Therefore, keep the following in
mind when creating a ladder program.
CAUTION
DI/DO data for PROFIBUS is updated not in
synchronization with the execution of the ladder
program. Therefore, keep the following in mind
when creating a ladder program.
When the input signal of PROFIBUS is read at
two points in the ladder program, even though the
read operation is completed in the same cycle of
the ladder program, there is no guarantee that the
same value will be read.
When the ladder program writes the PROFIBUS

A.SETTING BY USING A PERSONAL COMPUTER
SETTING BY USING A PERSONAL

COMPUTER
To set the communication parameters for a FANUC master station,
you can use PROFIBUS DP-Configurator (tool running on a PC)
manufactured by Softing as well as the local station.
This chapter explains how to set the communication parameters using
PROFIBUS DP-Configurator. For details, refer to the PROFIBUS-DP
Configurator manual.
CAUTION
In remote downloading, the bus parameters and
slave parameters set on a FANUC master station
are overwritten.
In addition, PROFIBUS-DP Configurator cannot
perform address assignment for diagnostic data and
DI/DO, and cannot set slot information (number of
slots and module data length). Upon completion of
remote downloading, make settings on the SLAVE
TABLE screen, DI/DO ADDRESS screen, and
MODULE DATA screen and then turn the power off
and on again.
