Periodic Maintenance Screen 

 
Periodic maintenance screens are used for managing consumables 
(such as the backlight of a LCD unit and backup batteries). By setting 
the name of a consumable, its life time, and the method for counting 
down the life time, the life of the consumable can be counted down in 
the appropriate method set for the consumable, and the remaining life 
time can be displayed. 
With these screens, the user can easily manage consumables that 
require periodic replacement. 
 

Explanation 

There are four periodic maintenance screens: the status screen, the 
setting screen, the machine menu screen, and the NC menu screen. 

•

 Status 

screen: 

 

Item names, remaining times, and count statuses are displayed, 
and item names are set. 

•

 Setting 

screen: 

 

Life times, remaining times, and count types (count-down 
method) are set. 

•

 

Machine menu screen: 

 

The names of consumables in the machine can be registered. 

•

 

NC menu screen: 

 

The names of consumables in the NC are already registered. 

 

Using periodic maintenance screens 

<1>  Referencing a periodic maintenance screen 
 

Display the status screen. For the meanings of items on the status 
screen, see 

Status screen

<2> Adding the name of a new consumable item to a periodic 

maintenance screen or editing an existing consumable item on 
the screen 

 

The name of a consumable item can be added or edited on the 
machine menu screen. For details, see 

Machine menu screen

. 

 
<3> Adding or editing a life time, remaining time, and a method of 

counting down the remaining time for a consumable on a 
periodic maintenance screen 

 

A life time and remaining time can be added or edited on the 
setting screen. For details, see

Procedure for displaying a periodic maintenance screen 

1 

Press function key 

. 

2  Press the continuous menu key 

 several times to display 

[PERIOD MAINTE]. 

3  Press soft key [PERIOD MAINTE] to display the periodic 

maintenance screen. 

 

Status screen 

When soft key [STATUS] is pressed, the status screen is displayed. 
The status screen shows the item names, count statuses, and remaining 
times of managed consumables. 
 

 

Fig. 12.4.13 (a) Status screen 

 - Item name 

As the item name, set the name of a consumable to be managed by 
periodic maintenance. To set an item name, select a name from the 
machine menu screen or NC menu screen, or directly enter the name 
using the MDI keys. 
 

    Setting an item name from a menu screen 

1 

On the status screen, move the cursor to a target item name, press 
soft key [(OPRT)], then press soft key [ENTRY]. 

2 

Press soft key [MACHINE] or [NC] to display the machine menu 
screen or NC menu screen. 

3 

Move the cursor to an existing item name on the menu screen, 
press soft key [(OPRT)], and press soft key [SELECT] then 
[EXEC] successively.

The screen display returns to the status screen, and the item name 
selected on the menu screen is added to the status screen. 

 
Initially, there is no item name set on the machine menu screen, so 
item names must be registered in advance. For the registration method, 
see the description of the procedure for registering item names on the 
machine menu screen. 
 

    Setting an item name using the MDI keys 

1 

Press soft key [(OPRT)].   

2 

Type the alphanumeric characters to be input, then press soft key 
[INPUT]. 

3 

The entered item name is registered on the status screen. 

 
When soft key [+INPUT] is pressed instead of soft key [INPUT], the 
entered characters can be added to an existing item name. 
When typing 2-byte characters, type "*" before and after the character 
codes. The character codes must conform to FANUC codes. (See 
Appendix G, "FANUC 2-BYTE CHARACTER CODE TABLE".) 
An item name to be registered must be up to 24 characters long if it 
consists of alphanumeric characters only; or it must be up to 12 
characters long if it consists of 2-byte characters only. 
Example:  To register "LCD

バックライト

", enter the following: 

 >LCD

_ 

 

NOTE 

1  An asterisk "*" is used as a control code, so it 

cannot be used in item names. In addition, 
characters "[", "]", "(", and ")" cannot be used in 
item names. 

2  When an item name consisting of both 

alphanumeric characters and 2-byte characters is 
registered, the warning "DATA OUT OF RANGE" 
may be output. 

 

    Deleting an item name 

To delete a registered item name, move the cursor to the item name, 
press soft key [ERASE], then press soft key [EXEC]. 
When an item name is deleted, its life time, remaining time, and count 
type are deleted at the same time. 
 

 - Remaining time 

As the remaining time, the period of time left until the time for 
replacement is reached by count down operation is displayed. 
If the percentage of the remaining time to the life time has reached to 
the value (%) specified by parameter No. 8911, or smaller, the 
remaining time is displayed in red. 
Even after the life time has expired, count down operation continues.
