Explanation 
  - Suppressing output of parameters set to 0 

When bit 1 (PRM) of parameter No. 0010 is set to 1, and soft key 
[EXEC] is pressed, the following parameters are not output: 
 

 

Other than axis type 

Axis type 

Bit type 

Parameter for which all bits are 

set to 0.

8.2.3 

Inputting and Outputting Offset Data 

 

8.2.3.1 

Inputting offset data 

 
Offset data is loaded into the memory of the CNC from an external 
device.  The input format is the same as for offset value output.  
When an offset value is loaded which has the same offset number as 
an offset number already registered in the memory, the loaded offset 
data replaces existing data. 
 

Inputting offset data (for 7.2/8.4/10.4-inch display unit) 

Procedure 

1 

Make sure the input device is ready for reading. 

2 

Press the function key 

. 

3  Press the continuous menu key 

 until soft key [OFFSET] 

appears. 
Press the soft key [OFFSET]. 

4 

Press the EDIT switch on the machine operator’s panel or enter 
state emergency stop. 

5 

Press the soft key [(OPRT)]. 

6  Press the continuous menu key 

 until soft key [READ] 

appears. 
Press the soft key [READ]. 

7 

Type the name of the file that you want to input. 
If the input file name is omitted, default input file name 
“TOOLOFST.TXT” is assumed. 

8 

Press the soft key [EXEC]. 
This starts reading the offset data, and “INPUT” blinks in the 
lower right part of the screen. When the read operation ends, the 
“INPUT” indication disappears. 
To cancel the input of the program, press the soft key [CAN].
