GENERAL CONCEPTS 1.1 "M/T" AND "CO" WORK MODES The CNC offers all the features of the M/T models plus those specific of the CO mode. There are 2 work modes. M/T and CO. This manual is for the CO mode. The "M" and "T" modes (described in the Installation, Operation and Programming manuals) must be used to: · set up the machine · edit the PLC program · customize screens · customize canned cycles · eliminate certain CNC errors · etc. The CO mode, the machine manufacturer can: · customize the keyboard (see this chapter) · modify the CNC screens (see "Screen customizing" in the Installation manual) · design machining operations and canned cycles (see chapter on "working with operations or cycles) · create screens for diagnosis, setup, to show the status of the CNC-PLC, etc. This manual describes how to operate with the basic or standard Fagor features and it is up to the manufacturer to document all the modifications and new cycles created by him/her. After turning on the CNC and after the keystroke sequence: standard display of the selected work mode. Use the keystroke sequence: the CNC displays the to toggle between the CO and M/T modes. The standard CO mode screen depends on the model: TCO Model MCO Model To edit (modify or replace) this screen, refer to the chapter on "Screen customizing" in the Installation manual. Chapter 1 - page 1 MCO-TCO work mode 1.2 KEYBOARD Alphanumeric keyboard and command keys. Selects the X character Selects the A character Selects the R character JOG keyboard To: jog the axes of the machine Govern the spindle Modify axes feedrate and spindle speed Start and stop program execution Specific keys of the CO model To: Select and define the machining operations Control external devices Select the graphic representation Select either the single or automatic execution mode Chapter 1 - page 2 MCO-TCO work mode Keys related to the operations or canned cycles. User C1 to access cycle 1, C2 for cycle 2 and son on. Each key may have up to 10 levels or variations which are selected by means of the [LEVEL CYCLE] key. For example: C1 => Cycle 1, +Level => Cycle 21, +Level => Cycle 41, .... When pressing keys C1 through C11, the CNC recovers the last cycle (level) used in each group. Keys C1 through C11 may be customized by the manufacturer by inserting printed strips through slots on the back of the keyboard. Keys which act as softkeys F1 through F7 in M/T mode. Specific keys for the CO mode. From left to right, they are used for: · Homing the axes of the machine (see chapter on "operating in Jog mode"). · Executing the positioning cycle (see chapter on "working with operations or cycles). · Managing ISO and MDI (see chapter on "operating in Jog mode"). · PCALL to see the screens of cycles created by the manufacturer (see chapter on "working with operations or cycles). · HELP (for the M/T mode). · Selecting different states in particular cycles or screens. · Select different levels in each cycle. The blank keys are free and may be customized by the manufacturer by inserting printed strips through slots on the back of the keyboard. This chapter describes how to handle these keys. The SINGLE key allows executing or simulating a program step by step. The GRAPHICS key allows simulating a cycle or viewing the graphic representation of the tool movements while executing a program. Free keys, usually to control external devices. They may be customized by the manufacturer by inserting printed strips through slots on the back of the keyboard. This chapter describes how to handle these keys. Command keys. For the CNC to assume the edited value. To recall data, cycles or blocks from memory. To access program storage (see chapter on program storage) Depending on the data, to delete the last character entered or the whole program. To quit the selected operation, cycle or mode. Special keystroke sequences: To toggle between CO and M/T modes. To reset the CNC. It is the same as turning the CNC off and back on. Cancels the video signal (the screen goes blank). Press any key to restore the image. Chapter 1 - page 3 MCO-TCO work mode 1.3 KEYBOARD CUSTOMIZING The external devices must be turned on or off by the machine manufacturer by means of a PLC program. The CNC will inform the PLC on the status of each key. The pertinent register bit will be set to "1" when the key is pressed and "0" when it is not. The register bit for each key is the following: keys O1 through O14 have an indicator lamp. The status of each key lamp must be controlled by the machine manufacturer with a PLC program using the TCLED* input variables shown below. Examples: The O1 key is used to control the coolant DFU B28R561 = CPL TCLED1 = CPL O33 To turn on the device controlled with the O2 key, a number of conditions must be met DFU B30R561 AND (Rest of conditions) = CPL TCLED2 = CPL O34 Chapter 1 - page 4 MCO-TCO work mode 2. OPERATING IN JOG MODE The standard screen for the CO operating mode dpends on the model: TCO model MCO model La forma de operar con ambos modelos es muy parecida.
